I picked up some Lemon Kush last night to celebrate Independence Day. The 🍋 taste is absolutely Phenomenal. Ive slowed down my Smokings but I have to say I partake for Emotional reasons. I enjoy growing it just as much. Been at it since 1998 lol. I wish Kentucky would get with the program! I put our soil and climate and farmers up against any legal state in America.
Smoking mullein in homemade bowl pipes sounds so old-school cool! I’ve been using nutraharmony mullein drops for my lungs, and they’ve really helped clear things up. It’s amazing how versatile this plant is, whether you smoke it or use it in the form of supplements.
That mullein is still too wet to smoke smoothly. Try putting it in a paper bag for a week or more. It also needs to be shredded or crispy dry and rubbed out in small pieces like tobacco in order to stay lit. It does burn fast. I have found it helpful for clearing mucus in the lungs and relaxing the throat. Properly prepared and packed it can be an enjoyable smoke also. Especially with a bit of wild mint added. Cool pipes
Thanks for the info. I like to keep it in the original leaf form because shredding it causes the small pieces to ride up the stem and get into my mouth when I puff on the pipe.
Smoking mullen here in the WV mountains is said to help with bronchitis, asthma, and supposed to be a good expectorant to loosen up phlegm and mucus. It is a biannual, only blooming every other year.
Thanks for making this video. I've always had mullen growing here at the house but, have never harvested any. I think I'll give it a try. There's teas and tinctures also people have been making as well. Thanks Jack.
I use Mullein shafts for atl atl spears and it’s a great material for that! But, this means I have to scrape the shafts clean, grease them and straighten them. Eventhough I try to do this outside in a strong wind, by the time I’m through I’m running like a faucet out of nose mouth and eyes!!! I may have some level of allergy ( I’m not prone to allergic reactions) but this is the medicinal effect they describe. I expect that my scraping operation would be the equivalent of mullein snuff!😳 I’m surprised you can smoke it with so little effect. 😅
Very cool video. I stopped smoking cigarettes 5 years ago and i would like to start trying things from a handmade pipe. That will also give me a reason to make a pipe. Good stuff
its a good bronchodilator and expectorant. I use mullein daily but I like to add about 10% mint for my smoke, it smooths it out real nice. If you inhale and hold like say an inhaler I notice the above mentioned with a slight relax. mullein saved me brother. thanks for the video. oh yes it's a bear to keep lit haha steam pot inhale is what i tell a lot of folks to use for tight congestion
You have some wild grape vines behind you, You can cut the vine and smoke it like a cigar, Just cut off the joints and smoke the thick/stem. They are best when they are dry.
It's hard to judge how dry iy should be to smoke, because you want it pliable but yet dry. If it gets too dry it develops a harsher flavor. I use a marijanna grinder to cut it up. this causes it to burn more uniformly.
Seminole medicine men would bring a kettle of Mullin that had been hung upside down when flowering to a slow boil. Patient would bend over the kettle medicine man would cover Patient with a blanket then blows through hollow tube in the boiling Mullin to release vapors for Patient to inhale as breathing treatment. Old time respiratory therapy.
You should try smoking mugwort if you have it in your area. Although i should warn you that it has some psychoactive properties especially if you inhale it. But it was traditionally used by cultures throughout the world and where i live it was popular with sailors and was given the nickname "Sailors Tobacco". Great video Artemisia vulgaris that is*
You should mix it with the kinickinic. The Cherokee in North Carolina had a mixture of 8-12 herbs and barks in their kinickinic. I bought some and it was pretty good.
Ive smoked mullein a few times to help clear a bad head cold. That hot smoke will definitely make you hack up whatever is plugging you up 😂 I now prefer to make a tea with it, sweetened with real honey to help the medicinal properties
My old lady stopped smoking tobacco on Mother's day due to COPD like symptoms and low oxygen levels. She replaced the tobacco with Mullein and is back to normal on he oxygen levels. Sometimes the smell is like bacon and other time like fresh corn on the cob
Patrick, do you know about usung mullein seeds as a means to catch fish? Some chemical in the seeds has the ability to stun fish but this is also supposed to be illegal to do.
Best to drink this as a tea strained with honey . If you decide to smoke it it’s best to suck from the pipe into the mouth and let it cool before inhaling 😊
Interesting. There must be thousands of blends of different plants to try. Infinite experimentation opportunities. I've read about mulberry leaves, cabbage etc. I've tried scullcap, lavender homegrown tobacco and other less legal plants. Surprising how they tasted very different from what I'd expected. Tea is another one. Just plain black tea leaves. Tastes pretty good imo.
@@KnapperJackCrafty Now that I think of it, my use was on me in a fairly bad emergency and I didn’t do more than shake it off. No ill effects!😳Yours is of course the better practice!
Yeah. I believe it. I've inhaled it a little bit recently, to see what happens. The only problem is that I don't want to be coughing a lot, especially when I'm trying to make videos.
Have you tried smoking sacred tobacco (Nicotiana rustica)? I don’t use tobacco but bought some seeds to try and grow next season. I know that various native tribes made blends of the tobacco and other plants, but it wasn’t smoked recreationally (at least from what I have read online).
I wonder if it's legal to put some of that in the auction😁, I like to smoke but I inhale my stuff(doctor's orders), but I'm seriously thinking of trying it because of the possible phlegm removal
It’s also spread throughout the lower 48. If you learn to identify it you will start to recognize it along the road. I wouldn’t recommend smoking anything from the ditch, but it is easy to get a hold of the coneflower after it has gone to seed, and propagate your own. It is said that this is better for you to smoke than to not smoke at all. due to its medicinal uses. Once you finally get a hold of a coneflower don’t bother with trying to find the seed just break it up very finally with your hands over some soil. You don’t want to cover it very much at all as the seeds are small this plant grows into stages and its form which is its most potent and the second year it will produce the flower.
another name for it is==soapworth which you can lather up tyhe leaves and wash with them....not only that the seed heads will cause fish to be stunned and come to top of water thats why its against the law to use them.

I didn't know you were in Kentucky. I'm in Winchester myself. And you are correct about Kentucky loam as being ideal growing conditions.
Interesting!
One of my favorites!also an old strain of Lemon G-13,😎
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@briantaulbee6452 yeah I'm near Berea. Not far from you at all. Happy 4th 😎🇺🇲🏹
Smoking it has stopped my asthma. Drinking tea has helped keep my lungs clean. This stuff changed my life
I need to try the tea.

It also stuns fish in a small pond worth remembering in a survival situation

The original asthma medication. Also good for fire making material when the stalk is dried, the pith is like papers.

Hmmm. Yeah, there's a bunch of grape vines all over this hill out back.
Went through a fire in our home in 2022 and used this herb in capsule form to clear my lungs of all the crap I inhaled. No problem since.
Hmmm
Mixing mullein with marshmallow and or raspberry leaf makes an enjoyable pipe
@@scottingram580 Interesting! I've got a ton of raspberry leaves...
I like the idea of smudging it [like an incense] and inhaling the smoke from that
Yeah, that's a good plan.
Great vid:) thanks!!

@@smucko1232 Sounds interesting. I think I know where some mugwort is growing...
I learned how to make a baby diaper out of Mullen form my local tribe. But I never thought of smoking it.
I never thought of making a diaper from it. So I guess we're even. 😂
@@KnapperJackCrafty I found out you can also used it mixed with crush soap root and buckeye for fishing as well
I think I will smoke my Sir Walter Aromatic. If I can ever find it again.
Hmmm. Sounds yummy
In herb books it’s suggested for asthma. I have ashma and it seemed to clear my lungs. Seems counter intuitive but .
@@swissboycontrol yes, I've heard that too.

@@KnapperJackCraftythe taste really isnt bad. It is VERY close to green tea.
Tobacco leaves are pretty fuzzy too but also sticky so bugs and dirt will stick to them.
So I've heard. 😁
My old lady stopped smoking tobacco on Mother's day due to COPD like symptoms and low oxygen levels. She replaced the tobacco with Mullein and is back to normal on he oxygen levels. Sometimes the smell is like bacon and other time like fresh corn on the cob
Wow. Interesting. Did she cough a lot with the mullein?
Mullein works great for toilet paper when you haven't got any and I deep in the brush. The natives called that mountain grass. It tickles...
@@clintlane9496 Don't let anyone catch you sqeezin' the Mullein.
@@KnapperJackCrafty Actually she coughs a lot less now, the mullein is breaking up the lung congestion
Patrick, do you know about usung mullein seeds as a means to catch fish? Some chemical in the seeds has the ability to stun fish but this is also supposed to be illegal to do.
I know it's illegal to use poisons for fishing, but I don't know how effective mullein seeds are in that role.
Temporary paralysis, not poison.

Tea leaves. Interesting idea.
Is there an age restriction for this stuff or would it be legal to smoke broccoli at age ten for example
It's not regulated, as far as I know. But at age 10, it's definitely not a good idea to smoke anything.
Nice
PS these green leaves make an outstanding wound dressing! 👍
After washing the leaves, of course. 😊
@@KnapperJackCrafty Now that I think of it, my use was on me in a fairly bad emergency and I didn’t do more than shake it off. No ill effects!😳Yours is of course the better practice!
There is a plant to help with being anxious...if your state allows it. Mine does, Ohio, but alas my workplace does not.
Yeah, but it has some really bad side effects. One of them being stupid for days afterwards...
You need to inhale it. It’s a powerful expectorant
Yeah. I believe it. I've inhaled it a little bit recently, to see what happens. The only problem is that I don't want to be coughing a lot, especially when I'm trying to make videos.
Mullein is a biannual. Grows the flower stalk the second year. I wonder if the first or second year is best for smoking and effectiveness?
Good questions
That’s weird, I just picked a bunch of Mullein and dried it out.
@@bracoop2 ESP 😁
Happy 4th of July!
Same to you!💥
Strange. A knapper without bandaid on his finger.
@@ronaldgoodrich5460 I usually wear a glove while knapping.

Supposedly it has a significantly higher tobacco content than typical commercial tobacco.
@Elijah-qi2lv I haven't tried it, but I will. I bought some seeds too.
I used it for fishing when the fish are not hitting but why would you smoke it? Pot is much better for you
Better? I can't smoke pot. It make me stupid for days. 😂
I know the best tobacco is aged for a few years prior to use. Maybe Mullen would benefit from an aging process? 🥂
Curing is a great process to help remove the chlorophyll and other less tasty chemicals👌🏼
A few months with controlled temp and humidity, I kinda want to try it
The aged stuff doesn't agree with me. There's something in there that I'm allergic to.
@@KnapperJackCrafty keep up the good videos! I sent you a Facebook message. Happy Independence Day 🎆
Perhaps the soapy taste is from the dish soap you used.....I couldn't see using soap on mullein
The soap I used doesn't smell like this stuff. 😁
