A Good Witch Guide to Smoking Herbs!
Iāve been getting a lot of questions about my āwitch cigarettesā lately, so here it is, people! I am just a humble Good Witch and do not claim to have all the answers; this information has been collected by my personal experiences, friends who are herbalists and the internet. I am not a doctor and none of this information has been approved by the FDA. PLEASE do your own research and remember that herbs are serious, real deal stuff that can have both positive AND negative effects. Always consult whomever it is you consult and use your damn brain when making decisions for yourself. Enjoy and use responsibly. :)
How I got into smoking herbs:
I love to smoke. I feel very connected to the ancient carnal pleasure that is taking burning plants into my lungs. However I do NOT love smoking tobacco⦠anymore. I smoked tobacco for a very long time and all it did was drain my wallet, my energy, made me smell bad and give me bronchitis all the time. Quitting was very hard for me, and is still something I struggle with. When Iām stressed out I tend to substitute weed for a cigarette, and that is also problematic. I catch myself smoking weed just because I want to smoke SOMETHING and know I canāt do the tobacco anymore. This is also not cost effective, and I just get too damn doped out; Iām not smoking because I want to get high or settle my stomach, itās because I want to burn something in my lungs.
An herbalist friend of mine turned me on to the joys of smoking OTHER herbs, and I proudly present you with a variation on their ārecipeā. These herbs are cheap, organic, and have many benefits I can obtain by smoking them. I get to feel in touch with my witchy smoke roots and not completely tear myself up with harsh chemical soaked tobacco or waste all my kind bud on compulsive habits. They are extremely affordable, and for about $40 you can get more herbs then youāll know what to do with delivered right to your door. Win win!! I find that itās a lot easier to not smoke a cigarette when I know I have a healthier option available.
Okay! On to the nitty gritty!
I order my herbs from Mountain Rose Herbs in Oregon, but Iām sure there are other reputable sources for such things. I buy organic filters and papers, and I use a little rolling machine to pre-roll them for on the road.
The herbs will need to be ground up with a mortar and pestle to be the right size for rolling/smoking and there will be some sticks to pick out. (The sticks burn too hot and also poke holes in yer papers.. d'oh!) Itās best practice to grind your herbs together in small batches, this way they masticate together in the batch and all the good stuff stays in your stash. I usually just grind up enough to roll a dozen or so āwitch sticksā to keep with me throughout the week, and I just repeat the process when necessary.
Hereās what goes inside:
Hawthorn Leaf and FlowerĀ Very commonly used as a tobacco substitute! Has antioxidant properties and promotes a sense of well being and a boost of energy!
Lavender Smells and tastes AMAZING! I used to mix it into my tobacco in the old days just because I liked the taste and smell so much! Lavender is great for anxiety, relaxation, depression and relaxing your body when tense.
Damiana Enhances dreams, produces a mild high that can last an hour or so, and is an aphrodisiac (hey HEY!) Damiana also improves digestion, promotes wellness and helps increase energy levels. Can also be burned as in an incense.
Mullein Another tobacco alternative, mullein is said to actually clear your lungs out when you smoke it, it has anti-asthmatic properties! Itās a slight sedative and has been used to treat spasmodic coughs and asthma for a looooong ass time. This is a great one!
Red Raspberry Leaf RRL is a sedative and muscle relaxant, so itās great for menstrual cramps and body aches and pains! It also helps to neutralize the toxins in tobacco, so itās helpful if youāre using this blend to quit the ābaccy. This is a great one to make tea out of as well.
Ā Wood Betony Awesome for headaches and pain relief, helps with migraines and nerve pain. Good for keeping a clear mind and also good for making wands. Was once thought to be endowed with powers against evil spirits! Take THAT energy vampires!!
Pipsessewa Helps with water retention, slugishness and weight gain. Reduces and balances Kapha in the body. Heals stomach problems. Warms and activates lymphatic systems. Extracts are also used to flavor rootbeer!
Mugwort Improves dream recall, promotes lucid dreaming and helps those who have trouble falling asleep. Calms and relaxes. Encourages altered states of consciousness. Rad.
Interesting read on an interesting subject.
I used to do this with some herbs! Ā Mainly Mullein. Ā
