sss8789 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I was wandering if anyone ever mixed herbs like basil into there shisha and after letting it sit for a while took it out? I think basil and cardomom would go well together but I am not use what the outcome would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Well... most leafy herbs don't taste much like the herb when they're being burnt, so I'd say that it isn't going to turn out that well, but give it a shot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shishasmoke1904 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 you can try white sage, i got some from a guy selling it at venice beach and said it's a good alternative to tobacco but i dried it out and light it as an incest(sp?) and it didn't smell too good.

sss8789 Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 I had a white sage inscent once and my mom thought I was smoking nht in my room, so I am not too sure about putting that into shisha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Ummm... are you two trying to spell incense and failing really hard? I can't tell if it's that or some word I'm not familiar with and I'm missing out on something... Funny though that you'd try to burn incest, hahahaha.

NJE03 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) I tried spearmint leaf. Don't recommend, is very harsh and burns.Also I try ginger mint, lavender, oregano and some other herbs I grow. None were very good.

That shit is grossLoL.Maybe you could try shredding it into little tiny pieces first (like the HH cut.) and then add a few amounts into the tobacco and smoke that. Or are you just talking about letting the herb sit with the tobacco for awhile and not actually smoking the tobacco with the herb in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are looking for cardamom or cinnamon, AF makes great flavours of both.For other herbs like wild lettuce or damiana or some such, which ARE smoked by people, i'd let it sit mixed in with the shisha for a day or two to let it meld.

So for instance AF orange with chi or chamomile is amazing. Or you can take it even further putting raspberry tea blend into mint shisha or something.

ved9311 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 We didn't have mint one day and my friends decided to but some mint leafs into the base,his parents use it when they drink tea, They grow it in the back yard forget what its called.But we washed it and put a hand full into the base while smoking strawberry and kiwi and we actually tasted the mintwas pretty gooddd. Also the leafs didnt get sucked into the steam which was a plus ahah. :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathrynx Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Yeah, fresh herbs are the way to go. Not the dried spices you find in the store.I can find ginger root here everywhere. I'm thinking about getting some of it and mixing it in with some kashmier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattathayde Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 i love the way sage smells just not to sure if i would want to try and smoke it (i know some people do but idk). its used a lot by the native americas more so in the plains (lakota, being what i am most aware of) and it is used for "smudging" which is a cleansing/prayer kind of thing that some natives do usually before going out to dance at powwows and some do it around in everyday life.the also use a prairie grass called sweet grass that has this nice sweet aroma to it, not sure if it would be a good idea to even think about smoking that but i really dont know, just only used it to smudge as well-matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
