I've heard you can use certain types of tea leaves to substitute tobacco in your joints. I'm not quite sure though.
Here in England everyone mixes herb with baccy...it's just how it's done.

^Yep, Green Tea or White Tea leaves can be thrown in there. I don't know how good it is, but no ones got cancer from tea to my knowledge

:Joint:

I don't think tea leaves are a good idea because it contains alot of aluminum and that may be linked to alzheimers disease.

 

[Guest]

It doesn't contain a lot of aluminum specifically, it contains aluminum and flouride which allows the aluminum to be more readily absorbed by the the body, but yeah, I guess it wouldn't be too good to smoke on those trace amounts of aluminum, who knows. Still beats tobacco IMO.

Get this from your local health store / herbalist.

Coltsfoot, Tussilago farfara

These commonly used smoking ingredients are
expectorants. They promote coughing and aid in the
upward flow of mucus. Let me repeat this: these
herbs will make you cough. Let me relate to you a
story I have heard more times than I can count on
my hands and my feet. The person hears that
Coltsfoot was smoked by the Native Americans.
They run to the health food store, roll up a cigarette
of dried raspy Coltsfoot, and proceed to smoke it as
if it was marijuana. After they cough a piece of their
brains out, they decide that perhaps this wasn't such
a good idea. However, the difference between
poison and medicine is dosage. If used properly,
these herbs are very effective healthful herbs.

Mix these herbs in medium amounts with other
herbs.(ganja!!!) If the mixture makes you cough too much,
use less of the expectorant. They are ideal for a
general lung cleanse, for the ending of respiratory
flus and colds, when you're quitting Tobacco, and to
get the crud out of you lungs in general. Do not use
them when you are coughing up blood or if it hurts
when you breathe. See a qualified health
professional if this is the case. Also, do not use
them when you can not stop coughing. If this is the
case, stick with Mullein. Ideally theses mixtures
should not make you cough incessantly, but just
cough effectively once in a while, bringing up some
of that excess phlegm.


It's alright I kicked tobacco (once) using this shit and still carried on smoking weed in the same way i.e joints.

Well first off your friend needs to pat himself on the back for doing the best thing I ever did for myself...Quit Smoking...Next he needs to think about how he can help himself accomplish this task..

One of the most important thing you can do when you quit smoking is ..cut back on or stop all intake of caffeine..What does Caff do...Speeds you up...Most of all speeds up your cravings......

Caffeine increases your cravings 1000 fold...So instead of thinking of smoking say 1,000,000 times a day....Without Caffeine You only think about it 1000 times a day....Much easier to deal with...

That is one of the only things that really helped me quit...Exercise, healthy food,Lots of lots of lots of WATER..... and no caff....Not ingesting caff will make it 1000 times easier to kick cigs...

Quiting Ciggs was The best thing I ever did for myself....saved my life.

Good luck and I hope this helps your friend!

I used leaf joints to help me quit the day after I turned 30. I got a bag of nice blue sativa leaf aging right now to help when I give up cigars, sometime soon. Just save em some sativa leaf.

My opinion is smoke a joint....a bowl.....a bong.....Personally I cannot even imagine mixing my sweet mj with nasty tobacco.

Honestly, if I was out of weed and was offered a blunt to smoke I would probably turn it down and stay straight.

Why do people feel the need to mix it with anything? Just curious.

I agree 100%

I have never smoked a drop of tobacco in my life...so i aint gonna start mixing it into my weed. (besides I'm highly alergic to tobacco smoke)

Light up a blunt around me and I'll ask ya kindly to either take it outside or put it out....and dont even try to hand it to me.

No offense to blunt smokers...I have friends that only smoke big ol blunts filled w/ mexican schwagg (thats what they prefer over str8 homegrown)...I cant figure it out either.

Fan leaf is the way of the Jedi.

buy your friend a vaporizer...

set it so it doesn't burn the herb...(not too hot)...

keep it clean...

enjoy tasting things.

congrats on quitting cigs.

i too would say for him to successfully get off cigs (which i almost have down)
to never smoke spliffs/joints, blunts or anything with papers.. it feels too similar to smoking a cig..

maybe get him a nice spoon as incentive..
and for him to buy a volcano (im saving back for one now)
its a hard habit to kick.. im almost there, i hope/think.
