Alternative to tobacco for mix joints etc?

Hey guys, Im a long time tobacco smoker and one thing thats not helping me kick the habit is that I prefer to smoke my weed with tobacco, mainly so I can roll a joint, mix in a bit of tobacco, not having to use too much weed and still having a smokable joint. Basically I find using tobacco makes my reef go further. Anyone got any ideas for a substitue? I dont thats for sure!

I had to stop smoking weed so that I could quit tobacco - that was 5 years ago and I am finally at a stage where I am confident that I can smoke without tobacco.

I suggest either dried parsley to mix with your bud, or simply get a portable vape and quit taking smoke into your lungs.

Sorry to hear about that. But dude, have an adventure, grow your own weed, you get to have a lot of fun picking from all the strains, and never have to worry about making your weed last longer by using tobacco because you have a good supply every time - I had that same problem; using tabby to roll with my weed so I can make my weed last longer. But, being self sufficient with your own marijuana and being able to drop tabby use at the same time is good, right?

Hope this helps, I know it wasnt an alternative option to using another herb aside from tabby. If the up top suggestion didnt help, maybe try...yeah just grow your own.

hmm i usually do grow my own but im unabke to atm, cheers for the input guys

they make herbal mixes you can cut your herb with google it or i will in a bit and post it for you

• Sage leaves (Salvia officinalis; said to give relief from asthma.)
• Wood betony leaves (Betonica officinalis)

Aromatic Smoking Herbs

Try adding any of these herbs and spices to your herbal tobacco to give it added aroma:

• Allspice berries (spicy aroma)
• Licorice root (sweet)
• Cascarilla bark (musky)
• Melilot flowers (vanilla aroma)
• Cubeb berries (spicy aroma)
• Sassafras bark (sweet)
• Deers tongue leaves (vanilla aroma)
• Thyme leaves (incenselike)
• Eucalyptus leave (menthol aroma)
• Tonka beans (vanilla aroma)
• Lavender flowers (very fragrant)
• Woodruff leaves (vanilla aroma)

British Herbal Tobacco

This is a pleasant tasting and aromatic mixture. British herbal tobacco is recommend for anyone looking for a less noxious substitute for tobacco. It can also be smoked in a pipe or rolled into cigarettes. Pipe smoking, however, permits the direct (and harmful) inhalation of saltpeter from the rolling papers.

• 16 pt. dried coltsfoot leaves
• 2 pt. dried rosemary leaves
• 8 pt. eyebright leaves (Euphrasia officinalis)
• 1.5 pt. dried thyme
• 1 pt. dried lavender flowers
• 8 pt. buckbean leaves
• 1 pt. rose petals
• 4 pt. wood betony leaves
• 1 pt. chamomile flowers (optional)

Although they do form part of the recipe, the rose and chamomile can distract from rather than add to the flavor. The herbs should be rubbed into a coarse powder through the fingers or the wire mesh of a sieve. Make sure they are mixed well. If you prefer a more mild blend, increase the porportion of coltsfoot leaves. Any of the aromatic smoking herbs can, of course, also be incorporatd to give your blend extra distinction.

Intoxicating Smoking Herbs

Finally below is a list of some of the common herbs that are being used today to give herbal tobacco that something extra. Unlike cannabis, they are all legally obtainable (at the time pulishing this), but some may harmful taken in excess. As with all powerful herbs and spices, any good thing can be overdone.

• Boldo leaves (rather harsh on the throat)
• Broom tops (be careful with these; they can be dangerous)
• Catnip leaves
• Damiana leaves
• Ginseng leaves
• Hydrocotyle asiatica minor (stimulant in small doses, but narcotic in large)
• Lobelia leaves (herbalists use these in asthma preparations; I wouldnt recommend them because, like broom tops, they can be dangerous.)
• Passionflower leaves
• Poppyheads and leaves (if they're white poppies, then they are opium and very illegal; however, legal red poppies also have a mild effect)
• Wild lettuce juice (also known as lettuce opium; need i say more?)
• Yarrow leaves

Wow thanks for this

yeah WOW thanks heaps!, if only that list could be stickied! I think it would be great advice for any tobacco smokers!

Now finding where to buy the herbs haha!

I looooove spliffs. Simply love em. I used to smoke ciggs but now i manage to smoke too many spliffs and no cancer sticks. I have tried different herbs including damiana, wild lettuce and sage, but there is still something about tobbacco and weed that I cannot recreate.

My favoriate would have to be damiana by far, the flavor and high are interesting and pleasant, although there is an add aftertaste that I tired of and stopped smoking it.

If you want a true weed taste but are low on cash you can use leaves and mix it in I use about 25% leaf in joints that I sell at school (I'm kinda cheap and most kids can't tell the difference plus it's their fault for buying prerolled joints) but another way to get more outa joints is a method I made myself (but is probably out there already) called piggybacking I take one joint with a paper filter and I use painters tape to attach it to the end of another joint and then you do that again and again making a second or third or whatever joint but after smoking 5 joints through one joint itll start getting clogged but then u can hit that on the bong and that shot is almost as potent as low quality hash

did you find where to get all the herbs for that tobacco replacement?

Tobacco kinda makes me sick n always makes me poo I wish I could tolerate tobacco, so i could make my joints/spliffs fatter.

I call cigarettes Skinny White Bitches

Mix it with more weed.. Or get a vaporizer.

Nah havent found anywhere to get the herbs local. Id mix more weed if i could afford to buy more than a few grams a week. and id buy a vape if a. they werent a few hundred dollars, b. if they didnt waste half the weed, Im smoking for pleasure not medicinally

Lol, dude, you should be growing it.. You can get a vape for like $30, just not a portable one, and the cheapest portables are like $80

where do you get $30 dollar vapes? the only ones ive seen are hundreds. Are they not an incredible waste of weed aswell?

skullcap is a good one for smoking. Mullen will actually help clear your lungs.

You can get Diamana Leaves and Mullen on Amazon.com for around $15/pound (shipping varies). Also, head shops carry other herbs you can smoke, but they can be more expensive than weed for some reason.

totally disgusted with this whole thread, id slap someone if they tried that on some meds i was smoking on
