DarkSpark Posted November 21, 2011 I am interested in comparing tastes and effectiveness of fresh harvested herbs as opposed to the imported stuff wondering if anyone has any smallish amounts they could sell or trade me. Interested in nearly anything but mostly looking for fresh damiana, mugwort, passiflora, sceletium or anything along those lines. Also I am looking for something I can use to add taste and scent to some of my smoking blends. Any ideas of plants, flowers or essences that would add a kind of sweet flavor. Prepared to purchase samples until I find something I like, the flavor should be quite strong as I want to only add minimal amounts of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chronic Hypnotic and Blueberry are my favourite flavours. http://tastypuff.com/ - Warning this site has terrible music Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkSpark Posted November 21, 2011 cheers for that i will have a bit of a look into it there sounds like some interesting flavors there i may have to get a few to test. I am thinking maybe a mint of some sort finely chopped and mixed into the blend could add a reasonable flavor (compared to the hay taste of althea officinalis) LOL i get what you mean about the music... a good idea tho the jingle is now implanted in my head and i will probs think about it again heaps over the enxt few days due to the catchy tune xxD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naja naja Posted November 21, 2011 is Tagetes lemonii(spelling) or pineapple sage suitable to smoke? They both smell amazing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theuserformallyknownasd00d Posted November 21, 2011 yes pineapple sage is defiantly smoke able, I use it in joints each now and then to really kick anxiety in the butt... I have a friend who uses it daily for anxiety also so could be a very welcomed addition into some mixes for people. as for mint, I read once that smoking it can cause male sterility Darkspark, maybe worth a look in to first :-P D00d Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alienteaparty Posted November 21, 2011 If you would like a cool minty flavor to your smoking blends, try peppermint. It tastes amazing and adds a cooling effect to your smoke. Iv been using it in smoking blends for ages. its great stuff and im pretty sure you can buy it in a regular shop in the tea section, or some health food stores.

Just dug up some mullein, st johns wort and nettle if they sound of use i have st johns wort and nettle, never really looked into mullein to be honest. I have found that a small amount of damiana added to a boring flavored blend adds a nice faint taste and smell that is actually quite enjoyable. unlike straight damiana smoked which is really wierd on the throat. Ill gather you up a fresh half of Mugwort and a fresh half of Catmint Six Hills Giant. The catmint very pleasant...the mugwort is ok cheers man, post some off whenever you get the chance. Or if you come up bring it then. any1 know if mexican marigold, Tagetes lemmonii is smokable? It is planted for a nematode deterant for soil, I am assuming it has a toxin? :S i have no idea but i would rather avoid ingesting any more toxins as i am sure ciggies are killing me wnough Edited November 23, 2011 by DarkSpark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theuserformallyknownasd00d Posted November 24, 2011 I'll send u mullein with that cutting then bro, also sage works really well, I can send a bag of it too. D00d Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naja naja Posted November 25, 2011 :S i have no idea but i would rather avoid ingesting any more toxins as i am sure ciggies are killing me wnough U have to smell this plant , get ur nursery to order it for u from the romantic cottage plant selection, should cost under $5 retail. They smell insane! Like passionfruit. Just water or brush the plant and the air is filled with it's aroma. Even as the wind blows it smells, smells so good I wish it tasted as it smells. I have not been willing to try without further input. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
