Take it Easy
  Take it Easy is my favorite smoking blend to recommend for people who are physically addicted to tobacco. Use it to quit tobacco cold turkey or to wean off your regular smokes. Don't use it at the same time as the patch and don't mix it with tobacco using our Roll Your Own. This blend contains organic mullein, lobelia, skullcap, catnip and rose. I explain why I put them in the blend to support you. It is also helpful for headaches related to neck issues. I talk about this and some other ways people like to use this blend. Please share this video! You probably know someone who would love to quit smoking tobacco, or at least their body would love it.

Lady Luck Herbal Smoking Blend
Meet our new seasonal organic herbal smoking blend. It's our very own take on a lucky smoke.  Until now the only "lucky" smokes out there were made with tobacco to ensnare you in addiction. This only brings luck to Big Tobacco, an industry built on hatred and oppression. In our lucky herbal smoking blend we use herbs that have been traditionally used to enhance luck. The message is one of spreading abundance, not hoarding it. Each pack contains ten hand made smokes, each with a tiny inspiring message rolled up at the tip. All herbs are organic &/or wildcrafted: Pearly Everlasting, Agrimony, Linden and Mullein. Lady Luck ingredientes, hierbas orgánicas y/o cosechado salvaje: gordolobo, agrimonia, tilo y anaphalis margaritacea (latin). $5 from each pack goes to help educate girls via the Malala Fund.

California Poppy!
Safety First: Many customers have expressed concerned about taking California poppy in regards to drug tests. After several years of working with this plant, I have not had anyone test positive on a drug test, nor have I heard of this happening with other people in regard to this plant. I consider this to be a nonissue when the plant is used in moderation. All my dosage recommendations are low to moderate. Per herbalist Matthew Wood, this poppy is not depressing or narcotic in its effect.

Catnip, it's for Cats and Humans
Why is Catnip a lovely herb for humans? Nepetalactone does not usually have as extreme as an effect on humans (though maybe we just need to try more of it). It does however, have a mildly sedating effect and can be helpful for headaches and insomnia.
