I've been smoking MJ for the past 10ish years - daily. From the ____-town-browns to the "middies" to the name brand stuff. I have a few grows under my belt, although not growing currently, and have spent countless hours studying the magnificent plant that cannabis is. That being said, for the past couple months for various reasons, I've been smoking varieties of Pyara almost exclusively. It doesn't have the look, aroma, taste or effect of cannabis, but it's definitely similar. Pyara isn't pot and shouldn't be smoked like pot. Pyara should be "sipped" like wine. The tolerance from cannabis doesn't carry over to Pyara, because it's not pot. So many reviews of alternative herbal incenses are biased because people expect it to behave just like that sweet sweet ganja, but it's not. I personally enjoy smoking it and particularly enjoy the availability of it, considering I'm not in a medical state. I can go to the local gas station and get different varieties of this stuff right off the shelf, or better yet, there's a certain online auction site that has Pyara available in all 4 levels and all 6 flavors. It's pretty cool to open the mailbox and find a sachet of Pyara in there. But anyhow, it's good stuff, just don't confuse it for marijuana, because it isn't.
