Seems like something that might help someone trying to quit cigarettes
As kids we used to smoke Jimsonweed, and survived.
It contains tropane alkaloids which produce the hallucinogenic properties, and may be severely toxic.
That might explain the dain bramage.
Jimsonweed contains scopalamine that causes delerium.
Sure. Igniting a foreign substance and introducing it into a human’s very delicate respiratory system. What could go wrong? /s
“Don’t worry, it’s totally legal.”
Yeah, but just wait ubtil some filthy, busy-body hyper controlling politicians find out people are enjoying something.
Turkish clove cigarettes were all the rage among teen poseurs when I was young.

I’m candidly surprised someone hasn’t figured out how to breed marijuana plants with some other plant that is not marijuana to produce THC, but be legal.
The active agent in Jimsonweed is atropine which has been used in traditional medicine and recreational abuse over centuries.
The leaves are generally smoked either in a cigarette or a pipe. During the late 18th century, James Anderson, the English Physician General of the East India Company, learned of the practice and popularized it in Europe.
The Zuni people once used datura as an analgesic to render patients unconscious while broken bones were set.
The Chinese also used it as a form of anesthesia during surgery.
An individual seed contains about 0.1 mg of atropine, and the approximate fatal dose for adult humans is >10 mg atropine or >2–4 mg scopolamine.
Jimsonweed intoxication typically produces delirium, hallucination, hyperthermia, tachycardia, bizarre behavior, urinary retention, and severe mydriasis with resultant painful photophobia that can last several days.
Pronounced amnesia is another commonly reported effect. The onset of symptoms generally occurs around 30 to 60 minutes after ingesting the herb. These symptoms generally last from 24 to 48 hours, but have been reported in some cases to last as long as 2 weeks.
We also smoked dried corn silk.

Rabbit tobacco is a herbal plant that has been utilized for centuries as a natural remedy for viruses, aches, pains, allergies and more. The scientific term for rabbit tobacco is Pseudognaphalium obtusifolium. Additional names for rabbit tobacco include "Life-everlasting" and "Fussy-gussy."
In addition to medicinal purposes, rabbit tobacco can also be dried and sprinkled into various dishes for added taste. Rabbit tobacco is not of the tobacco family and does not lead to addiction. For illnesses such as colds and flu, rabbit tobacco can be brewed into a drinkable tea or soaked in boiling water to create a powerful medicinal vapor. Rabbit tobacco is an excellent home remedy for sinus issues and allergies, as the potent vapors work well to open up the sinus cavity and promote healthy breathing. The astringent properties of rabbit tobacco tea also work well to soothe upset stomachs.
Rabbit tobacco was utilized by the early settlers and Native Americans as a natural remedy and food seasoning. Rabbit tobacco is also an effective natural repellent against spiders and insects in the arachnid family. Dried rabbit tobacco sprinkled on window sills and underneath kitchen sinks helps to keep these pesky insects away without the use of chemicals.
“While they won’t get you high, when blended according to the instructions below, these herbs produce a smooth, tasty smoke and give a gentle, relaxing buzz.”
Won’t get you high, but will give you a buzz.
All the “best” journalists are still hot on the Trump Harassment Project.
Well... you learn something every day.
It looks like the mugwort plant is the one that is the weed giving me fits in my garden. I’ll have to check out the flowers against the plant description to see if that’s it, or its just a case of the leaves being similar.
“By their fruits shall ye know them.”
Note: We are unable to ship this product to Louisiana.
Very last line, LOL.
I used to grow tobacco. Many of my clients still do.
This past week the 3 year old came back from the neighbors and said she was planting turd-bacca at the babysitters. Was funny...
Do they give you a buzz? If not, what’s the point?
