hesstondriver Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Not too sure which section to put this in but here goes, Just a bit of curiosity realty, an old country boy in the village used to make his own ‘smoking mixture’ from hedgerow plants, as a non smoker it is not really relevant but I was wondering if any one has any more information on this sort of thing? He was a true country old boy he did not believe in spending money on anything let alone tobacco!! I was told he would go down to the allotment and ask for parts of the sweet corn plant (the tassels off the cob I believe). I was only a kid when he must have died so cannot ask him now, but I can remember walking down the lane and you could smell his smoke - a real sweet smell, So I will bow to your greater knowledge Hesston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldwanderer Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I've read about soldiers using nettles and bramble leafs if it's any help. When I was at school, we smoked anything we thought would get us high! Catnip, dried banana skins, ivy, hemp, horse chestnut you name it! That's a different story though........

We used to take the paper wrappers off the long thin chewing gum strips and smoke them because 'older kids' did it and said it got u high. How gullible was I as a kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
