          Good question!  I dry mine partially, then tincture for 2 weeks.

              Is gum weed also called horehound? I remember eating horehound candy when I was a girl, and I keep thinking that gum weed might be that plant. Does anyone know? I’m very new at this.

                  Nope! Gumweed and horehound are both different
