“For those who might someday need to know . . . if you’re ever really dangerously whacked out on psychedelics, tobacco will bring you back. Just saying.”
Three hog callings and a county fair and I aint never heard that one. Heck I was of a certain age for the 60s. Are you talking about the newer spice, bath salt, generation of synthetics?
Ear smoking, yeah my bride of thirty plus years requested that from me before we ever married.Hot smoke is efficatious for ear aches.
I keep an empty tallboy half full of water for an ashtray. Pour contents on fireant mounds. Repeat as needed.
Running out of ammo for the ants and using a vaporizer for my nicotine fix lately. I’m going to have to start buying commercial fire ant products. I use DE powder in the pastures, doesn’t do much more than annoy a horse, kills ants. Slow kill on a big mound or super colony. Diatomaceous Earth. I havn’t any idea if I have the correct spelling on that mouthful. Pool filter powder.
I vaguely remember seeing something relating the use of nicotinic pesticides to the diminishing population of honeybees.

No experience with some of the weirder new stuff, but all the native folks in the New World knew the role of tobacco in modulating peyote (mescaline), psilocybin mushrooms, and ayahuasca (harmaline + DMT).
Some of the really strong native tobaccos by themselves contain at least a useful amount of DMT, BTW - but even without that, tobacco alone was/is often used ritualistically as the truly great medicine for the direct link to the Great Spirit in prayer.
