>>159831this is the truth. the plant itself has many alkaloids that fuck shit up. that said, i like the occasional nicotine buzz in the form of grizzly wintergreen, cowboy killers, and various delicious pipe tobaccos. my tobacco use is sporadic, even more so now that i have been experimenting with herbal smokes. have been foraging innawoods and fields. mullein btw is a good base material for a smoke. i had a fat quid in my lip, and it is definitely a sedative. felt weird, but not bad. i gave the leaves a quick dip in boiling water and a rinse to get rid of the hairs. going to experiment with fireweed next. got some here that are in full bloom, ripe for the harvesting. yarrow will be in bloom here soon as well. want to see if smoking that does anything. apparently they are mildly hallucinogenic.
