Clove Mamba

I have been honestly saving this gram of Mamba spice for last, because I don't like the flavor of cloves. They make my throat go numb, and leave a bad taste in my mouth. Now my brother loves cloves, because of that numbing effect, he says it numbs the bad taste out and he can taste the flavor of whatever he is smoking ten times better. Alright so to try to avoid the flavor I am using my mini hookah, because the water helps filter out some of the flavor. I honestly don't even like how this one smells when it burns, to me it smells like grandma's kitchen, clove and old person. My first hit I would rate at about a 4, I could feel the cloves numbing my throat and lungs, and the horrid flavor of the clove itself was burning on my tongue. Now it took me a good 3-4 hits before I even started to feel the effects of the incense I was too concerned about the numbing effects of the cloves. To me this is a very weak blend, it did not last as long as some of the other mamba's, and it did not hit as hard either. I myself did not like this blend, and I will not be trying it again, in fact I probably won't even smoke the whole gram. I feel that it has too much cloves in it, if they had not added so much I think this blend could be enjoyable, perhaps with the right mixture of herbs cloves could be awesome. I suppose I will look into clove mixtures, that way I can at least say I tried.
If you know any way that can make cloves enjoyable, or if you know of a good herbal mixture featuring cloves, I would love to hear about it, and even give it a try.
 Alright well keep blazin, and toodles all.

Thunderphuk Chronic Herbal Incense

 So during my recent ebay discovery of herbal incenses, I thought they didn't sell them on there, turns out I just wasn't looking hard enough. After I ordered a few different types I stumbled across Thunderphuk, I liked the name, because I could word play it and say "I'm gonna get Thunderphuked!" You can usually find this blend on ebay, just look for sampsonoodle.
 Now I wondered if this blend was actually going to do something so amazing to have a state of mind named after it...I was right. Smoking this blend is not like smoking traditional spice, for one it smells amazing, its got a sickly almost skunky sweet smell to it. Most spices are made just from Damania, because its a good smoke by itself, and it covers well when you are mixing in the special ingredients. I couldn't tell for sure if it's main herb was mullein leaf or mugwort, it had a clingy consistency to it much like mullein, and it hits hard. I would rate my first hit at an 8, it was a refreshing burn to that of say mullein leaf by itself, it didn't just burn it burned and then began to thunderphuk me like I had never been phuked before. This is a hard hitting, fast acting blend. And the flavor, its not like the hubba bubba bubblegum, but skunkier

 I used a bong, a pipe just doesn't do justice to the flavor, and that first hit will probably kill you out of a pipe. I had almost rolled this one into a joint, but I wanted to break in my new bong. I would highly recommend if you like a good herbal blend, and also like the effects of spice, to try this herb. Oh and if you mention me, I will get free samples sent to me, so don't forget to mention this blog. I would also suggest you smoke this herb in a water pipe of some sort or a vaporizer. I absolutely love this blend, it does not lose its potency like some of the herbal spices either. At one point during my evening I almost forgot I wasn't smoking cannabis. This blend is the closest blend I have found to the flavor and proper potency.
 Alrighty so keep blazing and toodles all.

Sky Scraper Legal Bud

I have been trying to purchase this flavor of LB for a good month and a half now, but oddballstudio573 only had this one for sale at an auction and I kept losing, but as you can see I finally won the bid.

This bud smelt like weeds, not marijuana weed, but like summer weeds. I myself like this smell, it reminds me of a simpler time, a time when I could just sit in the weeds and look at the sky, and not worry about being late for something. I decided not to roll this herb, but smoke it in my purple pipe.


 This LB was stronger than any of the other ones I had smoked. I would rate this bud at an 8, it was really harsh, it hurt my lungs more than my throat, but I actually coughed while smoking this bud. I didn't like this LB, I didn't even finish the bowel. I didn't feel any effects of this herb besides a headache from coughing. Smoking this herb was like smoking some really harsh tobacco, I love the LB products, but this one I am going to just have to pass up, I myself do not like my smoking products that harsh.

   

Also I recently stumbled on a better way to purchase Legal Bud at International Oddities, you can purchase boxes of your favorite LB for just $25. IO States:

"Each box contains 100% Real Herbal Bud that YOU roll into primo herbal cigarettes. 

With International Oddities removable papers built right in the side you're always ready to roll on the go!

The herbal cigarette has been revolutionized by International Oddities with their creatively designed box of buds. These herbal smokes have not only advanced the traditional herbal cigarette pack itself, but have launched the herbal cigarettes market into a new, more hip and fashionable mainstream with this Fresh Pack Rolling Kit"

Alright folks keep blazin, and toodles.

Bahama Mamba incense

Juice Jungle Bahama Mamba

http://blackmambashop.com/index.php?main_page=index

I myself can't find any more of this blend, but I am sure it's out there. This is a very "exotic" and fruity blend I personal love this blend. It smells like gum, not the nasty pink bubblegum, but fruity like Hubba Bubba gum. Just smelling this blend takes me back to the good ole days when we would chew a piece of Watermelon flavored Hubba Bubba gum then while the flavor beads are still causing mini orgasms in our mouths we would hit the bong to create this amazing flavor that our dirt weed could never possess by itself.
I loaded my mini hookah, and took my first hit of Bahama Mamba:
I would rate this blend at about a 5, this blend actually made me cough. Chille loves the way this herb smells too, she won't keep her nose out of the bowl of the hookah, and keeps trying to eat the little holder. I started to feel the effects of this herb at about the 5th hit, I didn't hit me as hard as the Mango Mamba did, it just sort of rolled over me. I could feel all the blood in my body start to just slow down and heat up. This herb can even make the news funny, This herb kept a good rolling high for at least 2 hours. this herb does cause the munchies and red eye. Well it was long enough to watch 4 cartoons and make some food for dinner. I enjoyed this herb and wish I could find more of it, so I will keep looking and post if I can find any.
Alright well keep blazing, but blaze responsibly and toodles all.

Wild Lettuce

Wild Lettuce aka Lactuca Virosa aka Lopium aka Lettuce Opium

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactuca_virosa

So this herb is said to have the same effects or similar effects as Opium. Even though this herb contains no opiates. Most sleep aiding blends contain this herb. Its uses include sleep aids, relaxants, or just to make you feel good. There is an extract you can make with this herb, I will be looking into it of course, but for now the effects of smoking this herb on it's own will suffice. You can also add the oils that are made from this plant to tea to help induce sleep as well.

I ordered my Lopium from ebay but you can find yours at The Herbal Smoke Cafe. My first impression of this herb was horse hay. It smelt very similar to freshly bailed hay. It has a very pleasing aroma, well to me anyway. I first attempted to load my purple pipe, but the herb doesn't burn like some herbs, it plugged up my pipe whithin the first hit, I couldn't smoke it in a pipe. So I pulled out the old trusty roller. Ok so with the joint, I could actually get a real hit. My first hit burned at about a 5. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't all that good either. If you have ever smelt burning weeds, like when they do controled burns to get rid of the dead weeds, that's what this herb smelt like when it burned. I liked it, but chille didn't think it was all that awesome. Within three hits I started to feel very relaxed, not high but just relaxed. I was completely content to just watch the joint burn, something I noticed while I watched it burn, is this herb burns weird like blue, and it tip of my joint looked like someone stuck a mini firecracker in it.

 Chille was already sleeping next to me, so it is a good sleep aid. After about an hour, I started to feel the effects slow wear off. So It was off to bed while I still felt tired. There was no red eye associated with smoking this herb, I was not hungry or horny. I was just tired and relaxed. I highly suggest this herb to anyone who has trouble relaxing, or who just wants to relax with a great smelling smoke. I will be smoking this herb more often and even mixing it with some other herbs to enjoy more of its benefits.

  Alright readers thanks for reading and keep on blazing toodles all.

Yellow Brick Road Incense

Original MAXXX

 I know they are both the same pic, but the one with the light looks cool, but you can't see the color of the blend, so I put both.

So as I am searching the internet to find more of this spice, I am finding no one sells this blend! There was a question about someone purchasing this blend, and thinking it was K2 spice, so I went to the K2 website to see if K2 makes this blend.
http://www.k2incense.org/buyk2incense.html
According to  this website, they sell K2 in bulk and you can rebrand it, meaning you can call it whatever the hell you want. So this blend may very well be K2, but to know for sure I will have to smoke a bunch of the K2 flavors.

So I like to smell the blends to try to figure out what is in it. I can smell damania, it has a dirty feet sweet smell, I don't know any other way to explain how it smells unless you just get some and take a sniff. I can also smell a fresh minty smell too, so there must be some mint leaf added to the mix. I like smoking the incense blends in my mini hookah, because it tastes better that way. My First hit I would rate at about a 4, I could feel the cooling effects of the mint as well as the sweet flavor of the damania. I started to feel the effects of the herb within two hits. The first hit was the euphoric head change, but the second hit gave me a buzz. I felt relaxed and happy. Third hit gave me that melted butter feeling. I was spiced for about 3 hours while I watched a movie, then I got the munchies, so this is a long lasting smoking blend. My eyes were bloodshot red, and I had the giggles. this herb gave me a very pleasant high. I liked this blend a lot, and I plan on smoking it till I run out of it. If I find out whether this blend is a rebrand, I will be sure to post about it. Alright well I have to go get ready for work, so keep blazing and toodles all.

Skullcap

Skullcap aka Scutellaria lateriflora aka Mad dog weed

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scutellaria_lateriflora

 The general use for skullcap is to promote sleep, and it is a mild sedative. I will by trying this herb tonight, because I have to wake up at 6am for work tomorrow, and I don't even get off work till 11 pm. There are also some noted uses of this herb in the study of cancer, you can read up more on this at the wiki link above, if that sort of stuff interests you. At one point in time, this herb was thought to help cure hydrophobia aka rabies.

 I personally am only interested in if this herb is going to help me sleep tonight. I purchased this herb on ebay, but you can find it at The Herbal Smoke Cafe.

Alright so my first impression of this herb is grass, not the good kind but like the crap you pull out of your lawnmower. It smells like cooking herbs to me, I loaded my awesome purple pipe and took my first hit of skullcap:

My first hit was kind of mild, I would rate the first hit at about a 4, but my second hit burned at about a 6. I felt an overall sense of wellbeing, kind of like when you take half a loratab, I just felt dopey, but not tired. The effects of this herb don't amplify the more you smoke, they just kinda stay at the same level of dopiness, till either you fall asleep, or it wears off in about an hour. Now if you are using this herb as a sleep promoter, I would suggest that you smoke it lightly till you fall asleep, I preferred the my my mini hookah for this. The hookah tones down the harshness and gives it a different flavor, not by much but enough to make it tolerable. I would probably suggest mixing this herb with like lavender flower, or something mellow for an intensified state of tranquility. I will be mixing this herb around to find a good combination, so I will be trying this herb again. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave me a message or a comment in the comment boxes. Thanks for reading, keep blazing and toodles.

Mango Mamba

Brought to you from the makers of Black Mamba Spice
 This incense blend has some flavor added to it to make it especially yummy. I think it smells awesome, but taste like crap.

As you can see this blend has a very distinct color, well it is flavored. Now many consumers are saying I'm not going to smoke that its not a natural color, well let me ask you this:
Have you ever used the Juicy Jays drops to add extra flavor to anything you have ever smoked?
what is the difference? for all I know the flavoring in this blend IS Juicy Jays, now don't quote me on that, because I honestly have no idea that was merely a speculation.
Alright this herb does smell like a little cup of mango-e goodness. I myself do not even like mangos so this
is really trying something new for me. I loaded my awesome new mini Hookah and took my first hit:

It wasn't harsh at all it felt more like a smooth piece of gooey mango had slid down my wind pipe, and nestled itself into my lungs like it owned the place. I released and immediately started to feel a head change. I would rate my first hit at a 2, even though the aftertaste of mango was not in my opinion all that awesome. But again I don't even like mango, so maybe to someone else who likes mango this could be a very yummy blend. Ok as I continued to smoke this herb, three hits along I am thinking to myself well this is a crappy head change, not because the head change was light, but because it was not as heavy as I am used to for spice. So I took another big hit and then the mango hit me. I must have smoked too much or something because that was almost the worst spice trip I have ever been on. I couldn't stop shaking, I couldn't focus on anything at all, I was hot then cold and couldn't find a comfortable medium. I started to hallucinate. I could see the carpet moving and it was freaking me out, because the earth is not supposed to move like that.. So after about 15 minutes of this I said screw this and started eating, not because I had the munchies, but because I know the easiest way to sober up is to eat something.

After I had eaten a few things I was able to bring the high back to a tolerable state. In this state things were really fluttery and just mellow. I could look at something beautiful for almost 20 minutes without blinking. This high lasted about an hour, before it started to wear off and I started to get a headache.

So all together the entire high off Mango Mamba lasted 2 hours. I'm pretty sure my eyes were really red, because someone asked if I had been crying. I myself would suggest this herb in moderation to anyone who likes mango. I myself will not be trying this herb again, because I do not like mango.

Panama Gold Legal Bud

I ordered my very first gram of Panama Gold off ebay from oddballstudio573. They shipped my item within the week, even though I took this long to actually try it, I was a little excited about all the new spice I had purchased. Alright so my first hit I would rate a 4, it was a very smooth toke, and didn't burn too much the first hit, the second hit however did burn and I would rate the second hit a 6. I started feeling the effects of this herb within 3 hits. I had a very calm sense of well being. I was not high, but I was feeling good. My eyes were not red. I did not get the munchies from this herb, and I did not get horny. My mum liked the smell of this herb, and it was an overall good experience. I would suggest anyone to try this herb who likes a good mellowing smoke. I enjoyed smoking this herb and will probably finish off the rest of my lil baggie. I will probably have others things to smoke so this is not a must smoke again, but still a fairly good smoking experience. If you have any questions or comments on this herb, please feel free to leave me some comments and I will get back to you either in my next blog, or if you leave an email address, or if you are on 420friends I will message you back. Keep blazing, and toodles all! Oh BTW Have a happy Super Bowl Sunday.

Crystal Incense

"CAUTION: use only as directed
THIS, product is NOT INTENDED for Human consumption."

I'm going to skip the formal introduction for this herbal blend, All I'm going to say is, this is a VERY enlightening smoke.
Ok I rolled myself a quick joint and stepped outside and started smoking this herb at 2:04. My initial hit I would rate at about 4 or 5, This is a very smooth smoke, but reminds me of smoking tobacco. I start to feel the effects almost immediately as in 4 tokes. This herb will give you the munchies and can turn you on. At about an hour after "spicing", I starting to feel the the effects of the herbs start to wear off. Not much but the sheer speed of the herb dulled to a kind of relaxed state of being. This herb does cause the reddening of the eyes. This high lasted for almost over 2 hours off one joint.
I myself love spice, it's a smooth toke, and a very decent high. I would suggest anyone who wants to try it to try it, many say spice is immoral, because man made the synthetic cannabinoids, that are added to this "incense", but personally I don't mind that, I am not snorting it, or shooting it up, you can't smoke the crystals, because you will OD, and end up in the hospital. I love how this herb relaxes me, how I can come home from a stressful day and just smoke a little bit and experience a high so powerful it feels like nothing in the world matters, all that matters is in the room that you are in. You can't think about the big picture, because you are too busy thinking about how to rationalize the little picture.

After the initial high wore off I grabbed my cute new mini hookah, loaded a bowl and myself my mum and her boyfriend all hit it. My mum said it kicked her ass, her boyfriend said he felt buzzed, but that was all. The boyfriend liked the flavor of this herb, he said it reminded him of smoking cigarettes, smell and taste wise. To me though this herb tastes nothing like tobacco, it tastes like Damania, because that was the main herb used in this blend. It did however smell like tobacco on my clothes and breath.
 I have been asked not to mention where I purchased this spice, because in Utah, anything with synthetic cannabinoids are considered illegal to sell in head shops, but they were trying to get rid of the last bit of their previous order, and I don't mind it was a great price, especially compared to what I used to spend for a gram of spice.
 Any who, I need to get back to work, and stair at the wall for a few hours, so keep blazing and toodles, oh and if you have any questions about the effects of spice/incense please either leave me a message, or leave a comment to this blog.

Mullein Leaf

Mullein Leaf aka Verbascum thapsu

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verbascum_thapsus
Now something funny about this plant, as a child I used to play with the leafs from this plant saying they were towels for small critters, or large bugs, because the leaves of this plant have a fuzzy hair on them that protects the leaves so my step mother would tell me. to the touch of a hand they feel soft and fuzzy like a towel, but if you touch them to your face or other areas with more tender skin it feels like sand paper.
This plant is a biennial plant, meaning that it takes two years for this plant to completely grow up and produce seeds/flowers. Now in my Mullein, it is the leaves, so the plant that was used could have only been a year old, I am unsure, I prefer to not get to know the things I burn. Now the main uses for this plant are topical astringents, emollients, and they help a great number of skin issues. This herb is also good for treating coughs, or other related problems. According to The Herbal Smoke Cafe, this is one of the smoothest smokes they offer. So I was expecting a nice mild smoking experience out of this herb. Now there are no known effects of this herb that will give you a euphoric high of any sort, so why am I smoking this herb? Because all of my different smokes have fucked with my lungs, and if this herb is good for that, then hey this herb could be used even for our MM users. You can make a tea out of this herb, mix it with any of your favorite smoking herbs, or just smoke it alone to gain its benefits.
Effects of Smoking Mullein
Ok I didn't feel like rolling a joint, because I was pretty tired last night, so I packed the bowl of my favorite pipe, took a deep breath and took my first hit of Mullein.
I was surprised to find out Mullein is not a mild smoking experience in any way shape or form. My first hit almost choked me, I would rate this herb a 7! I was not expecting it to be as harsh so after I got done hacking my lungs out I took another hit. One thing I did notice was that as I coughed it did work as an expectorant, and the googies that I had been battling all week finally decided it was time to give me peace. I smoked the entire bowl, even though it made my lungs hurt. The next day however my lungs felt awesome. I could breath like I haven't breathed in a while, and I haven't hacked up any googies today. In fact I have coughed, but nothing like I had been, its a light dry cough. It felt almost like the only reason I was coughing was a force of habit. I do suggest that if you are having any issues with googies, or your lungs to give this herb a try. I think the burning I felt was it's way of doing a clean sweep on my lungs, so who knows maybe my tolerance has gone down, and I will have better smoking experiences thanks to Mullein leaf. I guess I will let everyone know tomorrow after I smoke the Panama Gold Legal bud I got this morning.
Alrighty thanks for reading, keep blazing, and toodles everyone
