Maybe we shouldn't be smoking anything?? Leave them lungs alone, find other ways to get that health or weed fix

[martymcfly85]

mte just stop breathing in things that aren't great for your lungs.

+1 And those of us who are sensitive to all kinds of smoke will thank you.

Fun fact: cigarettes and blunts in modern film and TV are made with tea leaves.

Interesting. I remember reading a comment from someone who worked on Mad Men saying they smelled terrible. Then again regular cigarette smoke also smells terrible.

[missjersey]

It def depends on production. Some will go with reg cigarettes if the actors are comfortable with it, but I think going the tea route will become more and more common. And one reason is as you said, it smells terrible and that smell stays on the furniture and costumes.

[my_moloko]

Yeah, I feel like especially on a show like Mad Men there are so many characters smoking all the time it would be bad for the sets and the wardrobe.

Sorry but, I don't think smoking flippin' rose petals is gonna hit the same as smoking a regular joint at the end of a long day. I just don't.
Same goes for all that CBD crap. I've tried it and don't even feel a tingle tbh.

We don’t have any official reports in terms of study, Although Canada wanting to do a study but then the pandemic happened. But there are a lot of people who self report is having trouble with either CBD or THC where they need both. And the problem with cbd is that most the stuff that gets sold is not whole plant. When I always got mine from the dispensary I had to mix in just a little THC. I was one of those people who apparently needed a small THC activator to get the best benefit. I found out about it looking around online and that’s when I found I’m not the only one that claims that. I wish CBD alone did it I really do. I’m also one of those unlucky bastards where THC if it’s too high, makes me hurt worse. After everything I’ve been through for a year, I haven’t been able to use much. But everything that I have on hand is over a year old on the minimum. So it’s harsh as fuck in terms of it’s very dry. But it’s like it lowered the THC content enough to where I’m not getting sick

[iheartweasleys]

I've tried it in the drops you can take orally and I think even gummies? All from different companies and nada. Each time I've just been left wondering when that calming effect is supposed to kick in because I always feel the same. And it's not like it's cheap, either. I've stopped buying it altogether.

[fleurs_sauvage7]

Same. It does nothing for me. I need thc.

[numbedtoe]

So anyone here want to share your experiences? I’ve never done it but I’m curious to any taste of effect you get.

[well_wellwell11]

I smoked them the summer I went full Vancouver island hippie. It's sort of like nargila/shisha, but not as tasty.
The stuff I smoked had mullen in it that was suppose to ~clear out your lungs~ or some bullshit.

[blorpz]

i thought there wasn't any effect. just for people who like smoking but don't want tobacco or weed

[numbedtoe]

I mean there are also those who splice it into other things they smoke and that will alter the taste at least. Or if like camomile smoked vs drank still helps with nausea or calm. Not necessarily that people would have that kick you get from nicotine or a high from weed. Just what their experiences are.

I see a lot of people on witch Instagram talking about adding certain dried flowers and herbs to weed as part of a spiritual practice. I haven't tried it though.
