Wow, I had no idea people felt so strongly about cilantro and dill. Frankly, I love them both. Of course, I also like hemp seed. (You eat it, not smoke it. It's good for you. :))

I'd smoke rosemary if they let me. :) I LOVE rosemary! Actually I wouldn't smoke it, but I do like it. I bought some Hemp lotion once. I felt like a law breaker- (I used to think it was made with pot and it was still illegal) I'm so cute when I'm naive!

Kacey, I am with ya on this one. I HATE cilantro. My DH loves Chipotle and I never get food when he goes there because of the cilantro. He laughs if I happen to get something with cilantro in it because of the faces I make when I taste it!
 
A cillantro reed diffuser? I love the herb too but that sounds way icky! Kind of like a Mandarin and Basil from Partylite ... love basil, love mandaring, but the 2 of them together?
