i've often desperately wished that there was something that didn't have tobacco, that didn't even necessarily burn, that i could "smoke." i just want a vapor i can suck in and blow out, and watch as it curls away from my mouth.
Go to a wholistic pharmacy or another shop where they sell herbs. You can buy an assortment of smokable herbs, say Yerba Santa, Damiana, and perhaps Mugwort and Lobelia, get some licorice papers and mmmm, medicinal smoke ! A smoke that smells good, tastes better and is beneficial for the lungs, the mind and the libido. There are other medicinal herbs too... I wonder if anyone has smoked actual whole leaf tobacco as the Native american's used to smoke? It's quite an intense experience, and makes filter cigarettes pretty weak and disgusting (which they obviously are) . Too bad tobacco companies have diluted and poisoned an ancient ritual huh?
Breathing smoke is not good for your lungs, even if you're toking up St. John's Ginkonacia Voodoo Bullshit Special.
Sure it is! Sticky green buds are proven remedies for asmhatics even, for they have the effect of dialiating cappilaries, making it easier to breath. There are benefits to herbal smokes, itr depends on the herb; cigarettes are bad for your lungs.
