Weed chasers

I didn't have any Backwoods leaves to chase my bud with, so I ended up sprinkling some of a menthol cigarette inside my j. I loved the minty taste.

My question is -- outside of tobacco products -- can you smoke other natural herbs and spices? I'm sure you can, but how often is this done and how safe is it?

Ideally, I'd like to sprinkle some peppermint herbs, perhaps even some cinnamon, in my bud and move away from tobacco chasers all together.

Any recommendations?

 

mint is fine, great even (i like the taste of weed personally but hey thats me) im not sure about cinn though

 

Ask any kid whos ever bought weed without knowing what it looks like

No but seriously im not really sure about that sounds like a great idea though... Dont try parsley though it'll give you a bloody nose

 

There's been a couple of thread about this in the main marijuana lounge with posts by soaring eagle that reccomend numerous herbs to add. Good luck.



Personally I don't get why you'd want to 'chase' the taste of weed.

 

i just smoke my weed by itself. i don't like adding things to it.

 

^same here

 

I also personally just like to grind and smoke my weed alone. I have mixed it with a little tobacco when I roll a blunt but otherwise with a joint or in my bowl it's just weed. If you are looking to add any additional items to your weed because you don't like the taste then I think that a little dried mint is fine. Mint and Marijuana are related as plants and go great together.

The best way to prepare it is to Chiffonade the leaves. This is a culinary term for cutting in thin strips. Pick the leaves and stack them one on top of another. You then roll them up like a little cigarette and slice very thinly. It should look like shredded lettuce but more fine and not as thick. Compare it to tobacco in cigarettes for size. Spread it out on a baking sheet and leave it out over night or you can also lightly bake it in the oven to dry it out. On a very low setting. I also like to put it out in the sun. You can store the dry mint like this for months. I have a jar like this in my kitchen for cooking and making cool drinks like mojitos.

Now, concening your additional herbs the questions that I have about them before you decide to add something else to the mix is do you want to accent your high or to accent your flavor? Other herbs have additional medicinal properties. For example the mint I just mentioned when smoked will not get you high but does help open up your lungs. I don't recomend this if you have mint allergies. The neat part is that you will absorb more marijuana. But, just like smoking menthol cigarettes it is not a good idea to do this alot.

 

dont smoke sage with it...

 

I dont often chase with anything but everyonce in a while i do and theres absolutely nothing tastier.. i love a little tabacco (not dirty cig tabacco the real stuff)in my bowl or joint to beef it up and give me that head buzz... Actually that sounds so tasty brb bake

 

I bought this stuff called tastypuff which is a liquid that you drop on your weed before you roll it or while it's in a bong. I like the taste of weed but it's nice to change it up once and a while. Check it out...there are tons of flavors and it is supposed to be natural although I cannot find their ingredients anywhere....it tastes like alcohol on the tongue though.

 

I personally just smoke the bud by itself, but there are many things you could mix with weed.

You can try damiana, sinicuichi, wild dagga, salvia leaves, kratom leaves, catnip, etc. Catnip would probably be the cheapest and most convenient, and it's also mint-flavored.

 

what is wrong with you people????

SMOKE THE WEED! DONT ADD SHIT TO IT!!

 

catnip, really?

 

yeah capnip is relaxing.
clove, mint, tobacco, mullein, more ganja, sage, yum

 

i would never of thought about catnip, i just thought it was for cats haha

 

Catnip is actually pretty decent. It doesn't get you high, but it is strangely relaxing. It's also a mint, so it tastes pretty good to smoke.

 

dont they have fake weed that you can smoke?

 

Yes, They do, its GARBAGE.

They have Fake Marijuana Buds made with ingredients such as: Mugwort, Wild Dagga, Lettuce Leaf, Salvia, Scotch Broomtops.

That is what they are consisted of, i tried it before, and IT IS HORRIBLE. Honestly if i were you id save your money and just buy the real thing!

 

If you're adding another herb into the mix, its better at least have some pleasant effects or a very good taste.

The first herbs that come to mind are..

Cloves.
Hops.
Mint.

Then there's other plants that probably wouldnt taste good but would have more effects.

Like Passion Flower or skullcap

 

why would u want to get rid of the taste of weed? one of the great things about smoking it is the taste. but if u want theres liquid flavoring and bong water flavouring you can buy at hemp shops. or tobacco. but i wouldnt recremend anything besides the bong water flavouring, wich tastes good and kinda makes your hoot smoother. the taste of weeds the best.
