Natural Herbs to Smoke in Place of Tobacco
Smoking DangersQuit Smoke
Consider squashing that tobacco habit through the use of alternative smoking herbs.Whether you are someone who has never smoked before, or are a 10-year tobacco user looking for something to fill the void, there are herbal alternatives which may suit you. Numerous herbs are sold online and in many tobacco shops specifically for smoking. Often you'll find a blend of two or more herbs and
sometimes liquid extract additives.
California Poppy
California poppies grow wild all over the United States.
The California poppy is a small upright perennial native to California that
produces bright orange cup-like flowers. The dried leaves and stems of this
flower are often smoked in place of tobacco or marijuana. Smoking the California
poppy will produce a mild euphoria according to Drug Text.org. It is
non-addictive and has no recorded side affects other than the mild high. Often
times people use California poppy in place of the opium poppy because it contains
some of the same high inducing chemicals such as elerythrine, sanguinarine,
protopine, and bhomochelidonine. This relaxing herbal smoke is legal and mild but
it is not recommended to drive after smoking this product, according to the
Herbal Smoke Cafe.
Calamus Root
Calamus root is an aquatic plant that has grown throughout many places in the old
and new worlds. Native American tribes commonly used calamus root as a stimulant,
according to the website Basement Shaman. This plant is chewed as well as mixed
with tobacco or other herbs for a smoking blend. The liquid extract of calamus
root can be added to blends or smoking herbs, such as the California poppy. The
effect of calamus, according to the Shamans Garden website is both stimulating
and helpful to minimize anxiety. In extremely high doses, according to the Drug
Safety Site, calamus can produce a high similar to LSD. A common side effect of
using too much of this herb is vomiting. Take caution when attempting to collect
calamus root in the wild, the plant is often mistaken for the poisonous blue
flag.
Damiana
A plant native to the Gulf of Mexico region, damiana has been used by the Native
Americans for years as an aphrodisiac according to the website Herco. This plant
is known to treat anxiety and depression and smoking the herb, in place of
tobacco, will produce a mild euphoric high. The effect lasts between one and one
and a half hours according to the Herbal Smoke Café website. Damiana is a shrub
that grows to six feet in height and produces small aromatic yellow flowers. The
leaves are legally harvested, dried and used in smoking blends as alternatives to
tobacco and marijuana.
Catnip
Catnip isn't just for the feline members of the family. Many human herbal smokers
prefer its mild relaxation affect as well. A member of the mint family, catnip is
native to the Mediterranean but is now grown in many places across the globe.
Both the leaf and flower are harvested, dried and often mixed with other herbs
such as damiana to create maximum efficiency smoking blends. The effects of this
legal herb are mild at most.
