Default te de tilo

I brought back a box of tea bags from Panama called te de tilo which
is Justica pectoralis according to the list of ingredients. I'd
appreciate it if anyone can tell me where I can buy some more. Thanks
for any help. Doro

I have seen it for sale in the Washington DC area at Jamaican groceries.
However, I believe it is actually illegal to possess in the US, thanks to
the Analog Drug Act.

OHMYGOD! Why is it illegal? The thing is I think it has lowered my
blood pressure but it did also made me sleepy. It has a nice taste
and I drank it for three evening and yesterday I was quite sleepy
during the day and my blood pressure which was borderline is now
117/73. Sooooo....why is it an illegal drug? I can't find any on the
Internet. Is it addictitive?

I think it has something chemically related to DMT which is classified
as a hallucinogen. Probably in some miniscule amount, but welcome to
America. Odds are you could get someone down there to send you seeds
and grow it yourself, though.
