hemp leaves in smoothies

[keylime]

Hello Everyone!

My neighbor grows hemp and composts the leaves- I was wondering if hemp leaves are safe to eat in large quantities-- I make a green smoothie every morning and greens are pretty expensive- if the leaves are safe (and won't make me feel any different;)) than I might as well use them when he throws them out!
Thanks,
KL

I have used dried hemp leaf which I ordered rawguru.com . Hemp is a cousin of marijuana, and doesn't contain the agent that makes you high. It seems to me that if dried hemp leaf is okay, fresh would be okay, too.

If I remember, it is very very nutritious and great to use raw! I mean really, you could use any leaves you wanted to eat as long as they weren't poisonous, and hemp leaves obviously are not

I'd say go for it :) You can also google the subject, I'm sure
