idk mapacho is not that toxic. Neither is rape. Marlboro is pure poison imho.
I dont smoke daily anymore. And agree that cigs are bad for you. But pure tobacco is not listed as pure evil in my books. Abused daily it is def not good for you. Powerful medicine when used right IMHO.

Don’t get me wrong, I like a strong tobacco a couple times a year. The effects are short lived - but unique and supremely blissful. Like blasting off into space without a body / zero g’s for 5mins.

It's been years since I quit, and I still get cravings every day. I would smoke all day every day if I could. If I found out I had a terminal illness, the very first thing I would do is to go out and buy a carton of cigarettes, no joke. That's how addictive they are. I wish I had never touched them. Out of all the drugs I've ever done, nothing even remotely compares to how addictive cigarettes are.

Agreed, opiates and benzos were like a walk in a park to quit compared to nicotin.

Quitting opiates a walk in the park!? Holy shit. For me, tobacco was the least miserable thing to quit, even gentler than caffeine which gave me severe headaches. The problem was just that it had so much mental control over my desires to be free from it. Plus it's a lot easier and quicker to have a cigarette in your hand than to consistently have 65 extra bucks a day and a steady supplier as a heroin addict.
Both substances caused me and others a lot of needless suffering. I miss the strange dreams that come from being near death but that's about it. Some might find artistic inspiration from opiates or cleansing from tobacco before ceremonies, but for a westerner with a propensity towards quick fixes and bad habits, whatever gains were overshadowed completely by the aches and sickness of both.
My rule now is that I won't do any substance unless the rewards come after. Every trip I get an uncomfortable, challenging come-up, followed by a blissful and healing plateau.

I did not like tobacco for a long time because cigarettes fucking suck so much,
Hape on the other hand is incredible.

Harmine is anti cancer btw.
The trick to make this holy plant as cancer stick is one of very cunning and evil.
P.s. I really feel that the copious amounts of cigarettes smoked by mental patients is mostly trying to self medicate and balance.

I would try that stuff but I don't I'd be using it for the same reasons a shaman might. My past nicotine addiction would likely come into play. Fulfillment and completion can be attained without, i hope.

Cigs are nasty. Some years ago out at bars I would bum one. I would smoke half a cig and no matter what the next day I would be hacking as soon as I woke up.
Reds are hot smelling cigs. Parliaments are gay. Anything menthol feels destructive. They all stink the same way tho

I threw some seeds in the shade.
My first time to the shade was when I harvested
and I knew that I was not alive, and not was I dead.
It had to do with washing my hands and waking up in this life !
And soon it was all like a past life experience.

Yeah I agree that you should toss them and not look back. Its so much easier. Once you get hooked you realize they're terrible but you're mind convinces you to pick up another pack just one more, but before you know it years and years keep going by and your mind is playing the same game rationalizing that it's ok to just buy one more pack.

Of all the vices I've given up, I miss smoking cigarettes the most. Especially when I watched Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.

Hollywood is great at advertising cigarettes. Only time I ever consider smoking again is when I'm watching a movie; luckily, I just say "fuck that shit, fuck that shit, fuck that shit". My personal mantra for quitting. Has worked for over a year now.

The thing in my signature? The Google Deep Dream version of the Jeremiah Johnson gif. You should see their version of a scene from Fear and Loathing...

Oh nice, it adds depth to his wandering ways as he goes into the mountains. Then again, making it in colorado winters in that state sounds troubling
