Smudging tobacco
    #22271308 - 09/21/15 08:06 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

So I have been smudging tobacco lately after growing some from seed. I don't smoke tobacco but I have been reading on its ceremonial uses a bit lately.

I know a lot of people addicted to nicotine including my mom and felt I should start trying to establish a healthy relationship with it.

What I do is take a dried leaf a just light it like incense then sort of half blow on it/ inhale while sending positive thoughts out to the universe.

The first few times I didn't really feel anything besides maybe a bit grounded and uplifted. Earlier I inhaled a bit more than before and got a bit of a buzz.

It was a bit mild though and blended nicely with a bit of kratom and cannabis.

I want to try drying some properly to either make pipe tobacco or a better incense then plain dried leaves. I have been enjoying it though.

Anyone have experience with ceremonial tobacco use?

Yeah it is pretty fucked up how people tend to use it like the opposite of how natives did. Most people abuse the shit out of it which is considered very disrespectful.

I have my own ceremony with tobacco and so does my brother.
I swear it helps with meditation. I often send out positive thoughts and thanks when smoking the tobacco as I let out the smoke.

P.S. I think it's fucking awesome you grew your own tobacco plant. I heard it takes a long ass time. You have pics?




Yeah I could see how it could go great with meditation when used properly! I had like no issues growing mine. I actually neglected the shit out of them. Left them in pretty small pots so they ll stayed pretty small, still got some decent sized leaves. They dried out a bunch since they were in smaller pots but always bounced back when I watered them. They did get white flies pretty bad but since I am not intending to smoke it really it doesn't matter.

Though I did try to use leaves with no white fly larvae to dry for incense, and I wiped off some on the leaves with just a lil.

I don't have any pics but honestly they look pretty sad, I collected seed though so after the winter I get to try again!

would smoking contests be considered ceremonial because that was far more common than actual ceremonies.

With who? Native Americans?

Tobacco is sacred in many cultures, I am sure you know how they all used it and have done the math to say for sure which was done more :rolleyes:

Of course it is very addictive and is commonly abused by natives and westerners alike... That is not the point of this thread, clearly.

nations people have had traditions dating back as far as their history of

Quote:

Here are some random quotes:

Quote:

Tobacco had already long been used in the Americas, with some cultivation sites in Mexico dating back to 1400–1000 BC.




Quote:

Many Native American tribes traditionally grew and used tobacco as an entheogen. Eastern North American tribes carried tobacco in pouches as a readily accepted trade item, and often smoked it in peace pipes, either in defined sacred ceremonies, or to seal a bargain.[5] They smoked it at such occasions in all stages of life, even in childhood.[6] They believed that tobacco is a gift from the Creator, and that the exhaled tobacco smoke carries one's thoughts and prayers to the Creator.




Quote:

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum and Nicotiana rustica), or picietl in nahuatl, was also used among the Aztecs. This plant was identified on the Xochipilli statue as well as on other items such as snuff boxes. The Aztec smoked and chewed tobacco, and possibly drank infusions of the plant to induce visions. Certain rites and ceremonies required the use of tobacco.




Quote:

Tobacco has been used for many generations as offerings to the spirits, for planting, for gathering food, for healings and for ceremonies. The sacred uses of tobacco are different for many tribes but a basic truth remains, tobacco should be used for prayer, protection, respect and healings. Tobacco is medicine. The meaning of medicine can be translated according to perceptions, i.e. power from the creator and/or knowledge of self. 




Yuki Tobacco Use:
Quote:

.Sometimes an old man and his wife smoked a little before going to bed, and old men might smoke when gathered in the dance house listening to someone tell stories. Smoking was done only at night, and was not considered an everyday affair.




Costanoan Mutsen Tobacco Use:
Quote:

They stuffed some little sticks into the end on which they sucked so the tobacco would not get into their mouths, they stuffed them in but there was always space where the air could get through. The used to smoke the torepas only in the evening time, it was like a devotion, their belief.




Quote:

During the last forty years most of the traditional use of native tobacco has diminished. However, at present there are a small number of Yurok and Karuk peoples planting and tending tobacco gardens.  We must reaffirm our beliefs system so that we can provide a greater depth of knowledge of the sacred herb.

so you're saying it was all the indigenous people of this continent which are the other cultures

that still doesnt refute that tobacco was used far more frequently outside of
ceremonial purposes. tobacco was a trade item, it was gifted to the elders of
a family by their guests. it was very common for people to smoke pipes, it is
in fact what was stuffed in those peace pipes

I used to grow nicotiana rustica and take a bong rip of it once in awhile. It would literally knock my ass to the ground. The rush from that shit is so strong you'll think you're dying. It never gave me the sickening dizzy feeling I got from commercial tobacco. It's like the companies take the good qualities out and infuse it with sickness instead. The chemical fertilizers used also contain an abundant amount of toxic metals, and tobacco concentrates polonium 210. This is why it causes cancer, not only lung but also mouth and throat cancers when not smoked. It's a powerful plant and a very toxic plant too. You can die from simply using tobacco leaves as a poultice against your skin. Deliriants and stimulants aren't my thing really and I'm allergic to all nightshades anyway.

tobacco doesnt cause cancer, it's a contributor in people that have the genetic
predisposition, if tobacco caused cancer then everyone that has ever smoked would
have lung, throat and/or mouth cancer

seafood contains polonium 210, does seafood cause cancer?

I never denied any of those points... This is a thread to discuss ceremonial tobacco use, I never argued either use is more common then the other.

How about contributing to this thread or going somewhere else to argue with people :lol: Seems like you just popped in here to be dissenting.

Quote:

I never understood tobacco bong rips, seems like a easy way to over due it. Plus I am sure it is horrible on the lungs. I agree about commercial stuff though.

My mom and a lot of the people I know who smoke only smoke quality stuff at least. My ex used to smoke cheap ghetto stuff that smelled like burning plastic to me :puke:

You should learn to read. He is saying it doesn't, the synthetic things used to grow it do... Which is pretty much fact as far as I am concerned.

What does it matter if they smoked recreationally more often than ceremonially?

Why do you hate on the tribes so much?
It's like you're ashamed of who you are.
Which would be really sad if you are.




where am I hating on the first nations?

I just find it funny when someone decides they're an internet shaman

so why then does seafood contain polonium 210, is it because we fertilized the
entire ocean? it would have been so diluted it wouldnt accumulate in any
sufficient quantity to measure in fish

lead 210 is the source of polonium 210, not fertilizer. he's still wrong

Quote:

Polonium-210 in tobacco contributes to many of the cases of lung cancer worldwide. Most of this polonium is derived from lead-210 deposited on tobacco leaves from the atmosphere; the lead-210 is a product of radon-222 gas, much of which appears to originate from the decay of radium-226 from fertilizers applied to the tobacco soils.[47][110][111][112][113]

The presence of polonium in tobacco smoke has been known since the early 1960s.[114][115] Some of the world's biggest tobacco firms researched ways to remove the substance—to no avail—over a 40-year period. The results were never published.[47]

You say I'm wrong but then quote some source that says polonium 210 does come from the fertilizers? Wake the fuck up dude:rolleyes:.
Seafood does give a lot of people cancer. But the tobacco plant CONCENTRATES polonium 210 in the same manner that opium poppies concentrate otherwise harmless levels of cadmium from the soil into harmful concentrations.

I'm native, and I smoke tobacco ceremonially and for prayer.  N. Rustica is what was used traditonally by the natives of the US and Canada. N tabucum originates in honduras, and that area. It was preferred because it has bigger harvests.

Tobacco is seen as something that is a connection to the spirit world. Offerings were made when people needed spiritual help. Whether it was through dried leaf layed out or through smoking it(occasionally both).
