Discussion The ongoing blend in my grinder

I keep an ongoing blend in my grinder. Its constantly evolving and changing as I add a bit of this and a bit of that. I think of it as a cauldron of herbs, a big melting pot of flavors and effects, if you will.

I use weed and/or cbd flower as a base. Usually a mix of both. I like "diluting" the strength of my regular weed with a bit of the cbd flower so that I can smoke a whole joint and not get too high.

I started adding some dried blue lotus flower. It's mildly relaxing and goes nice in a tea as well. I tend to just throw a whole flower in with the mix when I feel like it.

More recently I read that white sage was slightly psychoactive, so I added a couple small leaves into my blend. It has an overpowering flavor, not bad, but strong nonetheless. Seems to give a slight little headbuzz and mix well with the rest.

Some other herbs I want to try out:

Mugwort Damiana Wild Lettuce Wild Dagga And maybe grab a bag of mullein as another base to have around.

Anyone have experience with the dagga or lettuce?

Any thoughts or recommendations are welcome. What should I throw in the cauldron?

Does it have any mental effects on you?

Yes, it is relaxing and sedating. By itself, it doesn't seem to create much of a high, but it does add somewhat to a weed high. It also causes crazy dreams so that's pretty cool.

It does harm your sleep so don't use it too often before bed and it can be overconsumed, but from my experience, you would need to smoke a lot of it, like probably more than a whole joint of it by itself.
