i love to smoke, but i want to lay off smoking to work a tolerance up. i was looking for names of some tobbaco free smoking alternatives that i could smoke to replace weed. I know nothing can replace the high but im just looking for smooth smoking herbs. any suggestions?

a hookah and some flavored shisha! whoops, not tobacco free though..sorry. but it IS like 10 times better than cigarettes.
i've tried a couple different herbal smoking blends and they werere all nasty, i wouldn't want to reccomend any of the ones i tried. how about just stop smoking all together and give your lungs a minute to regenerate and BREATH.

california poppy is nice I also hear high quality skullcap is really good, but you really have to try a couple vendors, and not buy the stuff in capsules at stores.

I use to be able to get something called beedees or something like that. You could find them in Arabian owned stores. They are like cloves I believe. If I remember correctly they give you a mild buzz. My dad smoked them a while to kick the tobacco. I don't know how healthy they are so I couldn't recommend them until I knew more about them, maybe someone here knows more. All I know is they were quite cheap, like 100 for a dollar. I do believe they may be illegal now, dunno for sure.

Yeah that's it bidis. Well if I knew they contained tobacco too I would have told my Dad not to smoke them since he was trying to kick the tobacco. Oh well they helped him and he quit using them so what he didn't know helped him I guess. Anyway the writing on the packages was all in a foreign language. I wouldn't smoke them now, god knows what people might do to them since all this mess began in the middle east.

bidis come from india, and contain tobacco (albeit a bit of a different strain, i believe)... they are actually quite a bit worse for you than regular cigarettes, due to the lack of a filter and all...

I would recommend Salvia but that's like.. the desperate man's weed. It's worth a shot if you get 15x or even 20x strength. Personally they have an awful aftertaste, but if you can get over that you can have a good "high" experience for a few minutes afterwards. On the other hand, I would DEFINITELY recommend getting a hookah pipe. This baby will last you for years and will be there anytime for you. Get some flavorful shisha and smoke em up, a very relaxing activity. Or if you're daring, mix some mj into the tobacco and go crazy. I've got a very very high buzz off of that. Oh and shisha tobacco has less then 1% nicotine in it, so don't count on being addicted.

I would say salvia is nothing like weed, it's way too intense. It's nothing like weed.

Scullcap is the harshest shit I've ever smoked. Stay away from it if you want an herbal smoke.
There is no other marijuana, but some herbs like damiana and such are pretty smooth smokes. Shisha out of a hookah is still the best though, with its variety of flavors, not to mention it's much less harmful than normal tobacco.

Ya whoever said salvia is the 'poor mans weed.' That statement is so wrong. The only thing they have in common is they are both plants. Get some salvia if you want to have a short, INTENSE experience

i have had crazy experiences with salvia. Lady Salvia is certainly not a replacement for weed.. although i may get some again, it's not something you would wanna smoke on a daily or even weekly basis. I'm looking for some herbs like damiana. I wanna get off the habit of smoking weed, so a smooth tasting herb to smoke would be perfect. I like the process of smoking so smoking something else will definitely help me lean off of pot

When I looked for a smoking alternative a while back to lay off the reefer, I went to my local herb shop & made a mixture out of damiyana, salvia leaf & mullein (I think it's pronounced mullen) and that was quite nice. Damiyana can be kinda harsh, and mullein is really chalky & sage leaf if used in moderation provides a nice headbuzz along with it.

plus, salvia is never cheaper than weed (at least where I'm from), so calling it "poor man's weed" is completley wrong.
