I smoked catnip and sage once when I was trying to quit smoking. While it didn't help me quit in the end, It did give me an unexpected head buzz.

its the catnip I think. sage should really not give that effect but I do sometimes feel like its relaxing or giving me a slight buzz if I smoke dessert sage. kitchen sage just feels like my lungs are being ripped apart when I smoke it.

I read on the site that I link to that catnip in a combo with other plants could have similar effects like weed but not so strong a effect.

there is plenty of information about herbs both the kind you use for substitute hemp and for everyday smoking mix instead of tobacco. http://home.teleport.com/~howieb/smoking/smoke1.html

I also found out that mugworth grow here natively in the wild. I am going to get me a couple of these and plant them inside to smoke them.

Yeah, I was wondering about catnip. I saw it on the sit and was intrigued, I'll have to try it sometime.

me too. I have to get some seeds. its a rare plant here now. also you can mix it with something like this http://www.danmarksinsekter.dk/eschs...ifornica.shtml or this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipomoea_purpurea

I use a blend of strawberry leaves and this http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kongelys to help me heal my asthma. I also blend some tobacco in it. nice smoking blend but I do think I would like to try some catnip in it or one of the plants I linked to if I cant find anything else to help me get these lucid dreams. its not recreational purpose I am wanting to use it for.

however something tells me that you could use a blend of these plants to get stoned on. maybe its too powerful compared to weed. I am not going to try other than the catnip .

to me its just nice knowing how plants work. and maybe to be able to put medicinal plants in a smoking blend and use it as a healing agent.

we have tons of mugworth outside. I took a lot of it and dried it up now. the lavender is outside but not ready yet. catnip I ordered too.

did you blend these and also how did you like mugworth ?

I smoked it as a blend once. a lot actually. but been years since I could import that so I am very very happy I found so much growing wild

I tend to drink it in tea with lavender and whatever mints I have around. Very relaxing. Excellent before bed.

this is also my primary usage for it. just smoking instead. it was used to brew beer once. and other alcoholic drinks. been thinking about trying this out as well.

I've been planning on trying to make beer with it myself. I just need a lot more of it.

tell about it when you get it done. seems interesting. I did read up on it and it contains thujone which is also used in absinthe which should be even illegal in some places . not a good idea to smoke to much of it either because it can be pretty dangerous however mughworth is not so strong and also been used as a tobacco substitute. it does give you vivid dreams as result of the thujone in it.

http://www.absinthefever.com/thujone maybe one could make his own of this stuff. never tasted it or heard of it before.

Yeah, too much could cause some neurological damage from what I understand.

yes it can. however it iseems to be a sign that your on your way to get too much when the desired effect vivid dreams and head buzz are presenting it self.

I am not sure actually., after reading lots of threads on forums for drug experimentation and also about it as herbal medicine and my own experience taken in consideration I would say its not effective drug. but has its uses.

its most likely a very very bad idea to use it on everyday basis or use too much of it in one time as it can also build up in the body and cause problems for the liver and kidneys.

as long as you brew a six pack and only drink this once or twice a month I would say it sounds like it could maybe enhance the experience a little. not much but maybe a little.
