Any advice for making herbal cigarettes that burn like normal cigarettes? Also general thoughts on non-tobacco smokes. (hexbear.net)

I want to make a "pack" of herbal cigarettes for my boyfriend for christmas because he quit and wants something to replace the tick/something to do when we go dancing. Does anyone have advice for home rolling machines? It don't need to be perfect, but so many of the herbal joints I've rolled have just smoked like ass. Also advice on my blend? I been using mainly rose petal and mullen with a bit of yarrow and mugwort. I grind it up real fine and bake the non-powder herbs under low heat for a while to make sure its real dry.

My budget is probably about $50 for equipment. Maybe maybe more if there is a really good and compact solution.

Really really love this man and we love smoking together but its just time to get off tobacco. Not sure if this is bad because it perpetuates the 'script' of having a little smoke, or good because it allows us to indulge in a way that don't keep us on the addictive part which really underlies the pattern.

Also doing this for me if it didn't come across in the writing lol.

When you're saying real fine, I'm thinking there's probably too little air coming through your mixture, so you're having weird combustion happening. Maybe try to go coarser, see how that burns. Might be harder to roll though.

Blend-wise, I'd look into Damiana. It's sold pretty cheaply as tea and gives a rather pleasant smoke without the nicotine. Gotta sort out the stems though. It's also got some supposed health benefits I've never felt a thing of but hey.

No ideas about rolling machines though, sorry. I am the rolling machine
