Tobacco hunting

[SmokeStack]

From the descriptions I have read on websites that sell tobacco seeds for N. rustica varieties, they state that N. rustica can easily be grown in northern climates. Whether that implies that N. rusticas are indigenous to these northern regions, I don't know.

My property is mostly untouched - meaning that it has never been cultivated or farmed. Since I have some rustica seeds, I was thinking of planting some of them and see if they would grow and perpetuate in the wild. I like to hike around the property and through the wooded areas. I have not noticed anything resembling tobacco, but I did find another type of Mother Nature's plants that can be smoked.

Watch out for fish hooks hanging in the branches or the pricks waiting for somebody to become a perpetrator of crime.

Yes, I should have mentioned someone had planted them - they were not Mother Nature's doing. I could easily see that the small patch was dug out. I had to call the Sheriff. But I was a bit surprised at their response as they said that "now that it has become legalized in the state of Michigan - there is not much we can do." It makes no sense to me.

I don't know! never heard of it. How "smooth" is it and does it show up on a P test? I'll have to google it.

Those probably came from bird droppings.

Mullein is also used mixed with willow bark to smoke in a pipe instead of tobacco. People who have astmah and still want to smoke, smoking mullein will to a large extent relieve the symptoms. Also mixing mullein in with tobacco is used as an aid to quit smoking, just slowly increase the % of mullein. It helps somehow to cut down the cravings forr nicotine.
mullein actually doesn't taste or smell as bad as one would think.

I had a bad cough with walking pneumonia that wouldn't seem to go away a few years ago. A Cherokee friend suggested smoking mullein and it cleared it right up! Another tobacco alternative is lobelia. I have asthma and use tobacco as often as possible as a bronchia dilator, especially since the EPA banned primatene mist, supposedly due to CFCs.... I guess they think dying of an asthma attack isn't as important as preventing "global warming" or unicorn attacks, or whatever the made up excuse is of the day....don't get me started on that! Anyway, I've been out in the woods and out of chew a few times and have been able to use lobelia. I'm not sure if it contains nicotine or if it is a nicotine-like substance, but it works.

I'm headed 3 hours north this Friday where a lot of mullein grows, I'm considering grabbing some and trying it out. Just dry it and smoke it? That's why I did in the past and it was very grassy, tasted like the bottom of a straw barn

 

[oldsouth]

Yeah, but be sure it is totally dry before you smoke it - it has lots of mucilage, almost like "slick, slimy boiled okra"

Are there flowers on it? Those are supposed to not taste grassy when smoked.

 

[Michibacy]

Yeah there are, in fact they may be past the flowering stage, weather up that way is a bit colder

If you plan on growing tobacco on that property I'd be careful playing Johnny Tobaccoseed. You can get cross pollination from a long way away.

True Knucks but it won't affect plants he grows from seedlings. He'll just have to be extra careful in bagging any blossoms he wants for seed. Here in the north that idea is a poor if not impossible one. In Alabama who knows? I don't think trying would hurt. He might get something he likes.

Rusticas won't really affect tobaccums either I don't think. Next season I plan on a grow of Aztecs and I certainly don't plan on bagging em, perhaps one small cluster if someone knows otherwise but I think it takes some doing for the two to mix.

 

[Knucklehead]

OK I'm convinced. Where can I get seed?
