Now there are plans to market the exotic plant worldwide as a new over-the-counter drug, according to PhysOrg.com.
The first license ever issued to market kanna was given to the South African company HGH Pharmaceutical, who intend to sell it as a dietary supplement.

Many people may not realize that there is such a thing called marijuana tea. It is made from, you guessed it, marijuana! It is made fairly easily, simply by infusing marijuana into hot water. Since marijuana is fat soluble, marijuana tea does not offer up the “high” that simply smoking or cooking it in butter or oil would. Instead, the effects are a lot milder, and can often produce a calming effect much like chamomile tea does. By adding some milk to the marijuana tea, you may get more of the adverse affects from the cannabis sativa plant. Copyright 1999-2006 HempNut, Inc.
