My love for Nicotine

[Satori446]

I quit smoking 11 months ago and vaped only at night which bi still do. I dipped for awhile but didn't luke that. Then I discovered nasal snuff. Tobacco for the nose. I researched it and was shocked to see it had been practiced all over the world for centuries. Its like aroma therapy plus nicotine. The nicotine absorption is immediate and short but ivevfallen in love with it. Its become a hobby and my nicotine source. Im a recovering addict but never snorted my drugs so it doesn't trigger me. All in all I love it.

I thought my nicotine tolerance is high amd it is butbi just realized that the Welbutrin intake could be at least dulling the nicotine reward system. I read a medical study. I couldn't understand much but Buprion def messes with the nicotine. I guess why its used to help people quit smoking. Its been very helpful for my depression and I can keep doing bith. I just never thought aboutbit till today.

But I love nicotine. It def helps my anxiety and mood. I have plenty ofboatches and gum I got when I was last discharged from hospital. But I b would recommend Snuff to anyone who wants to continue nicotine as a safe alternative to raping or dipping.

i estimate that i would have to vape once in the morning and once in the evening, in order to enjoy the high of nicotine.

that is asking too much of me, but there is something wrong with vaping throughout the day and reaping no benefits :<

Never tried nasal snuff as in the commercial version in tins but I recently made my own Rapé, from seed to plant, to drying it and mixing it ground up with ashes and herbs. It was like you said, ”aromatherapy” for the nose almost, altough I ground it up so fine that I probably inhaled some micro particles in my lungs.

Thats cool. I saw a short Youtube video of a guy I think in South America making rape with ash and all that. It was quite a little ceremony. I would like to try it one day.

Leave your vape at home during the day if youre able to. Youll get used to it eventually, like 3 years ago I used to have a pretty nice routine where I was only allowed to vape during mornings and evenings after my job. Left me with a ~10 hour window where I wasnt vaping at all and would enjoy the nicotine in the morning and evening without building acute tolerance.


Rewire your brain to think of it as sort of a ”get the day started” session and then a ”wind down” session. Nothing in between as you wont enjoy it and it will prevent you from having that delicious nic rush in the evening.

Be aware it burns quite a bit more than I expected, might just have been the herbs I used but I felt it through the mucosal lining in my eyes lol, made me tear up and made my eyes red.

I strongly recommend it in conjunction with meditation, had an amazing session on rapé.

I also meditate. Now I want to try it even more. Sometimes with my snuff I get that burn teary eyed feeling. I rather like it, lol. How did you learn to make it?

Met a dude who told me about rapé which peaked my interest. Then it was a month of reading about rapé and traiditional use of it.
I was already growing tobacco so I just had to acquire the rest of the plants.

In mine I had nicotiana rustica (of course)
Ashes from burnt palo santo, cinnamon bark, arabic damascus roses and ”european” roses, burnt cloves and salvia. Ashes of everything but the tobacco and some additional salvia, I didnt burn some of the roses fully because I wanted a little bit of flavor profile from those as well. There are many different herbs and things you could add after personal preference. If you want you could measure the PH of your ashes before mixing with tobacco, you want it to be slightly basic.

I also did it in a mini ritual/ceremonistic way cleansing the air with burnt salvia and palo santo, waving around bird feathers and smoke and collecting the ashes in a large conch etc etc. Feels a little pretentious
Not necessary but I did it for fun as I wanted to make a video compilation for my friend of how rapé is made

Nice. Sounds pretty involved but I bet it was worth it. How did you take it? Did you use one of those things that blows it into your nose? Sorry, I can't think of the name for it.

Yes a kuripe, you put the rapé in one of the holes and place the other in your mouth and blow to get it in there. There are some youtube videos on how to make your own.
