Nope, different species entirely. But I guess you could make tea from hemp.

Transparent Mummy. Popular color for mixing skin tones in portraiture, along with "Lead White" (pigment is lead oxide) ... hard to get the actual, genuine items anymore.

weed and tea come from the same plant? nature be crazy
edit: lol I was riffing off "it's the same thing;" obviously they're comparing the idea of strains of weed to types of tea

Reply to TIL Friedrich Glasl created a model of conflict escalation. He explains why some people act solution-oriented in conflicts, some want to win and others just want to harm the other person or side. by don_mantequilla
"Many different kinds of conflict can be thus analysed: divorces, conflicts between colleagues and school children, and also conflicts between states."
Lol I read that as colleagues having a conflict with school children.

Tisane is the old word, rarely used these days. Herbal "tea" and sometimes infusions are the terms used more often, now

There are differences based on varieties, and the soil where it is grown etc. but those differences are very small compared to whether it is simply dried (green tea) or fermented for various periods of time under different conditions (most other types of tea), smoked, etc.

You can't add milk to chamomile "tea" (or herbal teas that may have it or something similar in it). It curdles the milk, so you get a bunch of milk solids floating around in your cup.
