I went to a local tobacco shop today.

I'm trying to learn more about tobacco as I try to lower my THC intake without having to give up smoking. I've been trying cigars every few weeks for the past few months, but after a good talk which included nostr:npub1mrechz2tgtmspqc9e6l30dyfy4j57g43srzcvxupzs0cpn8h9pyqwms0g5, nostr:npub1hgvtv4zn2l8l3ef34n87r4sf5s00xq3lhgr3mvwt7kn8gjxpjprqc89jnv, nostr:npub1xswmtflr4yclfyy4mq4y4nynnnu2vu5nk8jp0875khq9gnz0cthsc0p4xw, and nostr:npub1nlpwaex0je8mnmrkk8svkjf4hyga827pkdnxpmfft4xtajqfjw5s46pfsz I am now venturing towards smoking tobacco with a pipe.

It turned out that the shop that produces the recommendation I got from nostr:npub1mrechz2tgtmspqc9e6l30dyfy4j57g43srzcvxupzs0cpn8h9pyqwms0g5 happens to be only about a 30 minute drive from me.

I was happy with the help I got from Archie, the man who was working and managing the shop. He helped walk me through certain things such as cleaning the pipe and kindly answered any questions I had.

Here's some pictures I took at the shop:

Amazing.

It was a cool experience!

What a lovely little shop!

It smelled amazing! 😍

Have you ever tried smoking cigarillos?

Not quality ones! 🀣

Looks awesome by the way... love the pipe πŸ€—πŸ––

Why not just start smoking spliffs!?

I kid! I’m a daily user of both. The nicotine demons can really find their way in to your body, I’m not sure what I’m more addicted to, the nicotine or the THC.

There is nothing like a quality cigar. I don’t really like cleaning and maintaining a pipe.

My way of regulating my tobacco use sometimes is by only buying a cigar once in a while. I don’t keep a stash or I’d smoke one every evening.

I know lungs don’t love it, but most other parts of me do! A good smoke is priceless.

I'm trying to learn my way around it all. I just can't handle the THC like I used to, but smoking is always such a nice way to sit back and relax with my thoughts or friends.

I won't be quitting either so I totally understand where you're coming from!

I'm trying the pipe out because I never end up finishing a whole cigar.

If you find a decent smoke let us know ;)

That's rad as hell.

Now try to orange pill them and tell them how many sats they'll earn selling tobacco on nostr lol.

That's my plan for when I go back!

So buy a zippo pipe lighter .. it lights up horizontal right above pipe's mouth .. unique design ..

I've never been to Boswell's store, but I have a couple of their pipe blends, Northwoods and Countryside, both of which I recommend.

Check #pipestr for some more pipe smoking content.

Will do! I appreciate it!

Ugh. It's better than I imagined. I hate you.

It all because of you! πŸ«‚

Thanks! πŸ™

We'll see how thankful you are when you have a raging case of PAD and TAD.

What he said. What a cool place! Glad it wasn't complete shit πŸŽ‰

You might consider estate pipes. A mouth piece can be replaced for less than a new pipe.

Wait, You want to quick smoking cannabis and pick up tobacco?

Why would you go from smoking something that can actually provide health/wellness benefits and tangibly enjoyable effects to something that is absolute garbage, provides practically no benefit and literally poisons your body?

I won't be quitting completely, but I can't handle the THC the way I used to.

I'm epileptic, and the THC can cause serious issues if too strong. I only smoke Indica now because of these issues.

Indica dominant strains tend to have HIGHER THC concentration.

Idk where you got the idea that it's the THC causing you issues but if that were the case you would be better off avoiding indica strains.

The strains highest in thc are actually sativa strains for the most part, afaik.

Surprising, I know.

Understandable. But for some reason I thought cannabis was helpful for epileptic people?

Perhaps it’s cbd I’m confusing with.

Charlottes Webb and such.

CBD is excellent and has many benefits for many people.

Charlotte's Web was a strain specifically bred for helping reduce the seizures of a young girl. It was a huge breakthrough because the CBD from that strain was able to do so.

THC is psychoactive whereas CBD is not. It can be considered a mild form of 'Acid'. THC can actually lead to more seizures if the user isn't careful.

πŸ‘€ , was not aware of the increased seizure risk with THC. That is very good to know.

Cool πŸ‘

#cornychat pipe smoking session when?

Soon, but tonight is #Yogastr.

Why are you moving away from cigars? I was thinking of taking this up.

It's too much for me to smoke in one sitting. That's the main reason.

You want to lower your THC intake and continue smoking?

Why?

You can literally just stop smoking cannabis and be done with it.

Why would you want to replace a therapeutic substance with an addictive stimulant?
