British Herbal Tobacco
This is a pleasant tasting and aromatic mixture which i can heartily recom- mend for anyone anxious to find a less noxious substitute for tobacco. It can be smoked in a pipe or rolled into cigarettes. Pipe smoking, however, precludes the direct (and harmful) inhalation of saltpeter from the papers.
16 pt. dried coltsfoot leaves
2 pt. dried rosemarry leaves
8 pt. eyebright leaves (Euphrasia officinalis)
1.5 pt. dried thyme
1 pt. dried lavender flowers
8 pt. buckbean leaves
1 pt. rose petals
4 pt. wood betony leaves
1 pt. camomile flowers (optional)
Although they do form part of the recipe, I usually omit the rose and cam- omile as i find they distract from rather than add to the flavor. The herbs should be rubbed to a coarse powder through the fingers or the wire mess of a sieve. Make sure they get a good mixxing too. If you prefer a milder blend, increase the porportion of coltsfoot leaves. Any of the aro- matic smoking herbs can, of course also be incorporatd to give your blend extra distinction.

Intoxicating Smoking Herbs
Finally here is a list of some of the common herbs that are being used today to give herbal tobacco that something extra. Unlike cannabis, all these are legally obtainable (as of the time of this writing), but some of them at least could be harmful taken to excess. As with all powerful herbs an spices ,any good thing can be overdone.
Boldo leaves (rather harsh on the throat)
Broom tops (be careful with these; they can be dangerous)
Catnip leaves
Damiana leaves
Ginseng leaves
Hydrocotyle asiatica minor (stimulant in small doses, but narcotic in large) Lobelia leaves (herbalists use these in asthma preparations; I wouldnt recommend them because, like broom tops, they can be dangerous.)
Passionflower leaves
Poppyheads and leaves (if they're whit poppies, then they're opium and very illegal; however, legal red poppies also have a mild effect)
Wild lettuce juice (also known as lettuce opium; need i say more?)
Yarrow leaves

[sk8erjkula0705]

dude just smoke weed

[MB7jazz]

Very interesting. Thank you for this report!

New Age shops, places that sell crystals and other mystical paraphenalia, tend to have lots of packaged herbs of every sort.

I mix my weed with Marjoram.. I don't know what the fuck it does but it mellows me right out.. more than just the weed alone. Tastes nice too.. sort of sweet.

I only really use that mix after shitty work days when I want to get home and turn off, the rest is just weed alone.

great video btw!

Wild lettuce, wich is mostly known as dandy lions, I smoke this all the time and it is a grate sub for tobaco and it also relaxes tense nerves.

[chrispak1988]

ever try smoking this herb called marijuana? you should try smoking it's buds, once combusted with a flame it creates this smooth, rich smoke that contains cannabinoids. One part of the cannabinoids group is a chemical, abbrevated is called THC... which is euphoric and sedative.....it also has this rich sweet, piney aroma from the smoke......this herb also builds immunity towards cancer and tumor it's quiet amazing....

[jmnskatingteam]

you should try smoking hops leaf with skullcap, the hops leaf makes a sweet flavor its a good supplement for pipe tobacco, the skullcap is a sedative so it will "chill you out" much like a cigaret does

i smoke a lot of herbs, along with tobacco. they taste grate and can sometimes be beneficial. some give you a pleasant relaxing feeling when inhaled, check out herbal smoke shop.com and sun-cost organics,com they are the best in my opinion

I plan on getting my hands on some Passion Flower, apparently Native Americans used to smoke it as a calming mild sedative. Not entirely sure where I'll find it in western PA though :/
