What is Herb Smoking? The Herbal Smoking Phenomenon

Smoking Herbs or Herbal Smoking Blends as it is sometime called is the latest smoking rage. People of all ages and walks of life are embracing these new products. Sold in either foil packages or sometimes plastic canisters, spice herbal smoke is often a mixture of a selection of different psychotropic plants and herbs from around the planet. All of the herbs to smoke products presented through most online sites are 100% organic and all-natural, and guaranteed to produce a satisfying, long-lasting effect.

Even though some brands of spice smoke are required to tag their product as “Not fit for human consumption,” most people have taken that with a grain of salt. By far the most popular use of these products is as spice to smoke to get legally high, using anything from a water pipe (hookah) to cigarette papers. Those who have in no way used Herbs To Smoke this way before are often shocked at the potency and strength of the effects, which can differ from “unable to move from a basic sitting/lying down position due to the relative strength of the herbal spice to overall feelings of euphoria and goodwill.

People use the best herbal smoke for a variety of different reasons. Some like it as a lawful alternative to marijuana (not a substitute, which is different). Certainly, many people who have enjoyed the effects of good old Mary Jane in the past find that certain products of Herbal Spice Smoke are extremely similar in both aroma and effects. Many of the herbal smoke vendors have capitalized on this similarity and named their spice products with marijuana-themed titles. Those who want to try legal herbal buds often change to smoking them almost wholly as a substitute for cannabis for several reasons.

The most widespread reason for changing to herb smoking instead of THC-based products is simple: drug tests. Most everyone in Western society nowadays is compelled to receive a drug test sooner or later, and most often it’s sooner. If you want to get a job; keep a job; get health insurance; even compete in semi-professional sports, you need be capable to pass a drug test. The ultimate advantage to smoking spice is that it cannot be found in a drug test. Several of the Legal Herbal Smoking products out there use this as an advertising point, that they will NOT cause you to fail any drug testing. One reason they can be sure of this is that 99% of drug tests administered today do not even test for anything that might be found in a packet of spice smoke blends.

A account of using spice to smoke began with a professor at Clemson University named John W. Huffman. Beginning in 1984, Professor Huffman experimented on synthesizing cannabinoids, or synthetic cannabis. They succeeded in created more than 450 of these compounds (which, incidentally are known by his initials followed by the order it was discovered in, for example JWH-073). Being public domain, this information was soon appropriated by the marijuana community, which then began producing a number of the synthetic cannabis products and selling them as herbal spice smoking products, alternately called “K2” or just “Herbal Spice”.

However a history of smoking would have to go all the way back to long before the time of Christ. Smoking in these cultures was often used as a means of contacting the spirit world and tobacco has been linked to religious rituals as far back as 5,000 B.C. Cannabis smoking, on the other hand, is a relative newcomer only being shown to have been smoked as far back as 2,000 years. However, cultural and linguistic evidence can place cannabis smoking in ancient Chinese, Indian, African, European, Middle Eastern, and probably even North American culture at around that time or later.

Nor is smoking buds as illegal as many people believe. Modern Indian customs, for example, includes a number of religious festivals during which wise men (called sadhus) wander the streets offering sacrifices to the Hindu goddess Shiva. These sacrifices are presented by smoking as much ganja and hashish (two common forms of cannabis found in India) as possible during the festival. Even in the USA, obtaining cannabis is as simple as getting a doctor’s prescription in a number of states, and the medical marijuana business in California alone made $2 billion last year.
