Basically I find using tobacco makes my reef go further. Anyone got any ideas for a substitue? I dont thats for sure!
Tobacco Substitutes
Here is a list of herbs can be used as tobacco substitutes:
Aromatic Smoking Herbs
- Basic Smoking Herbs
- Bearberry leaves (Uva-ursi)
- Buckbean leaves (Menyanthes trifoliata)
- Chervil leaves (choerophyllum sativum)
- Coltsfoot leaves (Tussilago farfara)
- Corn Silk (Stigneta maidis)
- Dittany leaves (Cunila mariana)
- Eyebright leaves (Euphrasia officinalis)
- Life everlasting leaves (Antennaria dioicia)
- Marjoram leaves (Origanum marjorana)
- Mullien leaves (Verbascum thaspus; said to give relief from asthma.)
- Raspberry leaves (Rubus strigosus)
- Rosemary leaves (Rosmarinus officinals; mixed w/ coltsfoot to relieve asthma
- Sage leaves (Salvia officinalis; said to give relief from asthma.)
- Wood betony leaves (Betonica officinalis)
- Yerba santa (Eriodictyon californicum)
Try adding any of these herbs and spices to your herbal tobacco to give it added aroma:
British Herbal Tobacco
- Allspice berries (spicy aroma)
- Licorice root (sweet)
- Cascarilla bark (musky)
- Melilot flowers (vanilla aroma)
- Cubeb berries (spicy aroma)
- Sassafras bark (sweet)
- Deers tongue leaves (vanilla aroma)
- Thyme leaves (incenselike)
- Eucalyptus leave (menthol aroma)
- Tonka beans (vanilla aroma)
- Lavender flowers (very fragrant)
- Woodruff leaves (vanilla aroma)
This is a pleasant tasting and aromatic mixture. British herbal tobacco is recommend for anyone looking for a less noxious substitute for tobacco. It can also be smoked in a pipe or rolled into cigarettes. Pipe smoking, however, permits the direct (and harmful) inhalation of saltpeter from the rolling papers.
Although they do form part of the recipe, the rose and chamomile can distract from rather than add to the flavor. The herbs should be rubbed into a coarse powder through the fingers or the wire mesh of a sieve. Make sure they are mixed well. If you prefer a more mild blend, increase the porportion of coltsfoot leaves. Any of the aromatic smoking herbs can, of course, also be incorporatd to give your blend extra distinction.
- 16 pt. dried coltsfoot leaves
- 2 pt. dried rosemary leaves
- 8 pt. eyebright leaves (Euphrasia officinalis)
- 1.5 pt. dried thyme
- 1 pt. dried lavender flowers
- 8 pt. buckbean leaves
- 1 pt. rose petals
- 4 pt. wood betony leaves
- 1 pt. chamomile flowers (optional)
Intoxicating Smoking Herbs
Finally below is a list of some of the common herbs that are being used today to give herbal tobacco that something extra. Unlike cannabis, they are all legally obtainable (at the time pulishing this), but some may harmful taken in excess. As with all powerful herbs and spices, any good thing can be overdone.
- Boldo leaves (rather harsh on the throat)
- Broom tops (be careful with these; they can be dangerous)
- Catnip leaves
- Damiana leaves
- Ginseng leaves
- Hydrocotyle asiatica minor (stimulant in small doses, but narcotic in large)
- Lobelia leaves (herbalists use these in asthma preparations; I wouldnt recommend them because, like broom tops, they can be dangerous.)
- Passionflower leaves
- Poppyheads and leaves (if they're white poppies, then they are opium and very illegal; however, legal red poppies also have a mild effect)
- Wild lettuce juice (also known as lettuce opium; need i say more?)
- Yarrow leaves
Since I've been growing my own weed, I quit smoking pretty quickly. Every time I wanted a cigarette I smoked more weed. Now no cigs, but I still chew tobacco every day. I cant take cigs anymore. They're too harsh.Hey guys, Im a long time tobacco smoker and one thing thats not helping me kick the habit is that I prefer to smoke my weed with tobacco, mainly so I can roll a joint, mix in a bit of tobacco, not having to use too much weed and still having a smokable joint.

Hey man I'm definitely interested. Can we get in touch?I have made my own blend after a couple of years experimenting. My aim was to create a suitable tobacco alternative, which would compliment any type of cannabis including hash and buds. I studied online and found an American study of smoking mixtures: http://www.botanicalstudies.net/herbalism/smoking.php I then ordered samples of a variety of smoking herbs.
I managed to give up tobacco fairly quickly but just could not find the right blend combination straight away, I shared a blend with fellow tokers and received encouraging feedback that it was better than anything on the market, like greengo or honeyrose mentioned above. It burns well and consistent for a pleasurable smoking spliff. So I stuck with this combination for a few months.
I was still not completely satisfied overall with the taste and smell. Then I cracked it earlier this year, I have managed to infuse the leaves with fruit and floral extracts giving a subtle combination of flavours and aromas to compliment my cannabis buds that I grow myself, or could be smoked with hash alone. I looked at how pipe smokers flavour their tobacco and applied it to my herbal alternatives.
The result is a smooth smoking herbal blend with subtle tones of berry, vanilla and a cooling refreshing sensation of mint when inhaled. It reminds me a little bit of shisha pipe tobacco from the flavours and aroma, but this has been specially created to be mixed with cannabis in a roll-up that will burn consistently and can be enjoyed with every type of cannabis.
I am aiming to market my blend in Coffeeshops in Amsterdam due to the tobacco ban. However, I can certainly make it available online in the UK to enthusiasts who have been experimenting in this area, I can supply free samples and can certainly make it available for purchase. Any further questions or queries? please respond to my post and I will be glad to make contact with you
