First and for most, hello all, This is my first post here, I have found this forum to be very informative and useful, and I would like to contribute some of my experiences and knowledge to thie cause.
First off, Herbal Alternatives to Marajuana (Opium Lettuce, Kava kava, skull cap, wild dagga, damnia, etc etc etc, you know all the common things found in all these herbal smoke mixtures...)
First off, the big question: Is it like Pot ? No, but... swim and his wife do enjoy the mixtures very much. They compare them more to "one hell of a cigarette". At first the mixtures had little to no effect, but since Swim was stuck with 7 different sample packs, he decided to smoke what he paid for. The more swim smoked the more he noticed that it seemed to have a reverse tollerance. Swim and his wife have found it best to make a mixture of cloved cigarette tobacco with each of the different herbal smoking mixtures, about 1/2 and 1/2. roll it up and smoke it. While it doen't have a marijuana like high, it does have a high of its own, that swim and his wife compare more to a VERY VERY low dose of pain killers rather than MJ.
Swim and his wife are both experienced smokers, with 5 + years of experience, so they are not newbies. If your looking for a marijuana like high, stop the search nothing can replace the great green plant. But if you wanna try something different and quite relaxing, then herbal smoking mixtures are for you, swim can't really reccomend a certain ingredient, just try a sample pack to find what you like. Just don't expect to get sky high off of it, because its not gonna happen. When you go into it, think more special cigarette
