04.08.20 California Poppy

It’s illegal to pick poppies in California due to it’s state flower status, but these are growing in our yard, and I hear they make a great tincture to relieve insomnia and anxiety. Now, I’m sure none of you out there are struggling with insomnia or anxiety these days. But, in the rare chance that you are, it’s so simple to make. Harvest some California poppies. Put them in a jar, flowers, stems and all. Fill with 100 proof vodka. Now, here is the only draw back, wait 6 weeks, and strain into a dropper bottle. I will not advise on any dosage since I am not a doctor, naturopath, functional medicine expert or anything remotely close.
