Herbs to Smoke

many herbs may have beneficial (spiritual, mental, physical..) effects when smoked. some of the most common are mullein, tobacco, catnip, and marshmallow. in very small amounts: sage, yarrow, skullcap, spearmint, damiana. Mullein can actually be beneficial to smoke - seems odd, doesn't it -if you're having lung problems. Tobacco is a very strong, often spiritual herb- best smoked without additives. We grew some sweet tobacco in our garden, it grew like a weed..when given water. In addition to expelling a sweet vanilla fragrance at night, and being very sticky leaved, it was incredibly unlike a store bought cigarette to smoke.
