Nothing like taking something very healthy and making it unhealthy by smoking it.

And yet, I’m still intrigued!

AllanK said

It actually intrigues me a little too, but I will never try it. I have asthma and periodically end up in the ER for it. I can imagine what smoking anything would do to me.

The other risk is that you might end up not liking pu erh tea anymore.

Good point. And with something aged like pu-erh, there’s bound to be a little mildew in there that you’d been smoking… Couldn’t make things any better.
My lungs are in good shape, so I’m tempted to go to the Bodega across the street from me and pick up some rolling papers! Now the only question is Sheng or Shu?

AllanK said

They probably put chemicals in the tea cigarettes to make them burn better. They used to be in all cigarettes here too but they caused too many house fires. If you are actually going to try to smoke your tea you probably want the smallest leaf possible or cut it before rolling it. I would however bet you can’t get anything off smoking tea because it would be more common if you could get any kind of drug effect from it.

The weight loss thing may be legit. You smoke some tea, get sick, and next thing you know, you’ve lost 10 pounds in one day.

AllanK said

Well you sure as hell won’t lose any weight by drinking it. If drinking it alone would make you lose weight I’d be much thinner. While there may be some things in puerh that can be a minor aid to weight loss there is nothing major there.

I would try a sheng first. Seems some of them have the tobacco notes already.

This is funny as hell. As a teenager in the 60s, among some of the things I smoked were dried rose petals, dehydrated mushrooms, mugwort, nutmeg, cinnamon, the dried inner peel of bananas (Mellow Yellow) and Lipton tea. All separately. Wouldn’t want to mix anything!

Would you like to try some sheng?

If you’re serious, sure. I will roll it, smoke it and report back on this topic.

Well, thanks for taking one for the TEAm! Puns? No? Okay, sorry.

LOL!

Watched that video and it still boggles my mind that the Chinese take something as healthy as tea and make it as unhealthy as possible by turning it into a cigarette. Just looking at you smoke that is enough to set off my asthma. So Cwyn owes you tea now. Make sure she sends you the good stuff.

I think it is illegal to send “good stuff” through the mail. :-)

And of course the Reddit mods took it down. That makes me at a 50% removal rate! I guess I have too much fun :/

AllanK said

Don’t know why they took it down. They were clearly not marijuana cigarettes.

It wasn’t about tea being a ‘beverage’ … I’m staying out of it now, but there are plenty of post that are off topic as well. Bleh.

Whenever I try going on Reddit I have a hard time finding the tea discussion. What is the Reddit link for tea discussions?

https://www.reddit.com/r/tea
Was told that I wasn’t talking about tea as a beverage and that people who post about smoking tea to get high will be removed. Well, as far as I know I’m always trying to post relevant things about tea and Puerh cigs are something that has not been dicussed and I thought it would spark some good conversation. I’m fact it has postive remarks and healthy conversation. I suppose posting about someone drinking coffee or receiving a box of bags is more relevant then someone shedding weird light on a product that is tea based and uniwue; however, I am bias…

AllanK said

If you could get high by smoking tea, a) it would be more popular, b)it would probably be illegal.

I hate heavy handed moderation like that. I used to belong to a perfume forum and if you strayed “off topic,” as in…“My husband’s favorite scent on me is Chanel No. 5 in parfum formulation and I packed it for our anniversary trip to Barbados…” your post would be deleted as being off topic and you would get a PM warning. 3 off topic posts and you got banned from the site. I did not last there very long.

I have smoked many teas over the years (really) and none ever got me even vaguely buzzed-sorry to say.

I offered to swap a few of these with some good Puerh as well. If you’re interested let me know.
