Title: Alternative's to tobacco in spliffs?
Post by: MerkyAce on June 18, 2012, 11:34 pm
Wa gwan Sr, first post here  ;D
       So I want to smoke, but not too keen on filling a blunt full of weed. Just recently, I have given up smoking tobacco, find it pointless tbh, but i used to use tobacco to mix with my blunts.
I just want an alternative to mix with my weed, that doesn't need to have any effect but needs to burn. Even if i only put about .7g of pot in a blunt and mix it with some other herb that burns, i will still be buzzing by the end of it.

Tl;dr: Need a long smoke that will get me lightly buzzing, not tobacco and something I'll have in the house.

Merky.

Aha i would stick to tobacco mate, but if your serious about quitting i think that most spices/herbs burn?

I wouldn't just try any spice and end up wasting the whole thing.:P

I have never smoked tobacco, i just put more weed in my spliff's, you can roll joint's with as little as .3 g of weed if you want. No need for tobacco at all!

I'd be careful about what I light up and inhale, some things can give off nasty (poisonous) fumes.

You can get smoking mixes to replace tobacco. I've seen them in headshops (not legal highs just flavoured mix) but tbh they are prob just as bad as tobacco.

Look in the cupboard and tell us what you've got.

This wouldn't last 2 minutes, I'm looking for a long smoke that will get me buzzing for longer.

And I have nutmeg? I heard somewhere that it smokes and could even get you high  ???

Maybe move to bong, pipe or vaporizer?

Couple of weeks and I'll be moving to a vape, but until then I'm stuck with j's.

You can buy legal smoking mixes. Go to Holland and Barret, they have this honey flavour stuff there. It tastes fucking nice, burns slow, and it's  not a rough smoke at all

Ha, do not do this man. Nutmeg is like a fine powder, in a joint that shit will prob burn up in about one eight of a second and smell and taste horrible.
Would be like shoving your weed in a firework and trying to smoke that.

I have some exotic weed right now that is really slow to burn, i made a joint of .4 that lasted 8-10 minutes.. also i keep my weed in the freezer so it will not dry quickly, i put it in plastic empty pills bottles with desiccant gel packs (those small things in all shoes box) this prevent humidity in the plastic bottle.

Hi!
If you want to quit tobacco search for something like this. I believe they sell pound boxes.

Or just buy the Volcano!

I'm not entirely sure about it, but wouldn't it help to roll with tobacco that comes out of ultra light (0.1 mg nicotine) cigarettes also work? On those cigs they do something odd with the filter as well, but i presume the nicotine content of the tobacco inside the sticks is also lower compared to ordinary cigs or rolling tobacco.

I think it does not make such big difference. You can toast the tobacco too but that only take the flavor out not the nicotine content.

You can look into:

Kanna
Wild lettuce
Damiana
Blue Lotus
Lion's tail
Catnip

Most of these are herbs that won't change your high too much, but some can make the high more euphoric, longer, ect..
I only tried out Damiana, Kanna an Catnip and Damiana was the smoothest to smoke (when I remember correctly)

Your welcome 8)

I tried Damiana,super smooth to smoke tastes not like shit as Knaster.
But me and my mates had a little pain in the lung after smoking it,i dont think its healthy.

Have you tried toasting your tobacco? I do it with 90% of the spliff i roll, it removes most of the nicotine and carcinogens from the tobacco. It tastes a lot less strong to so you taste the weed better.

heres how:
put the desired amount of tabacco flat in a foil tray (easily made) this sort of shape:   \_/-
hold the handle that you have made out of the foil
now hold a lighter under the tray with the tobacco in it and heat for 20 seconds at a time, until it stops smoking and turns into a crispy brown colour.

now roll your joint with it! ;)

I use Greengo. It smells nice, isn't addictive and adds a mellowness to spliffs :)

I used to mix weed with some sort of cigarettes that I bought in a health shop, of all places.
There is no nicotine or tar in them. They are just some sort of herbs that are a replacement for people who like the act of smoking.

It burns perfectly and doesn't taste too bad so i'd look into them.

Here is a link to give you an idea. You may not be able to get them where you are from.

Frankly i don't believe the 'no tar' part of that. Any smoldering vegetable matter will produce tar, tobacco does, lawn grass does, anything else you can cut from a plant that burns does.

Herbal cigarettes may be free of tobacco and nicotine, but the mainly dangerous part of the smoke, tar, will always remain to some degree, no matter what other plant material you substitute for the tobacco. Obviously the pot itself will also produce tar, which is fairly evident when you roll a joint with pure cannabis and look at the tip after smoking it.
