taking snuff
 

i got a box of snuff recently.

apparently the health risks of this are pretty much minimal, although there isnt much on the internet.

anyone have any experience with it?

i found one site that touts snuff as a nearly completely safe alternative to smoking. it does site a case were a guy put snuff in his left ear for 42 years and got cancer. but other than that it says its fine.

is snuff really all that bad for you? is it just down to fashion that it isnt touted as an alternative to smoking?

i took a few really large blasts the first time i was on it and the rush was pretty intense, but not in a bad way like coke or something would be.

i can see this stuff being very useful in getting off smoking, which unfortunately i got back on recently after about 4 months.

i can't remember what it's like. i haven't done it since i was in middle school when the school took us on a trip somewhere and let us buy and use it! i was only about 10 or 11 years old, i do remember sneezing lots though.

i though this thread was called "talking snuff" and got pretty curious that this would be about snuff movies.

I think it fucks up the inside of your nose after an amount of time

i think i still have some somewhere...

I bought some Kratom. I know I shouldn't have but when have I ever listened to common sense:) should take affect within the next 10 minutes or so.

Kratom is one of the most bitter and horrible things i've ever tasted, when i did it i boiled it up and add lots of sugar but it was still disgusting. i had a good trip on it but was constantly throwing up.

I used to like snuff except for the big black boogers that inevitably showed up, but it was funt o take a snort in public and no one could do anything. Once in the Mission I took a toot while waiting for the bus and this slick kid came up 'you mah man, that's alright' and i offered him some and he turned out to be a coke dealer. Women tend to not be impressed and ultimatelyt hats all that matters. What the hell is kratom.

the stuff i had was the resin like extract and looked like this:

These were giant pills. They pepped me up and gave me a euphoric feeling. Ryan said he didn't feel em. He had been drinking since 9 am though.

i had the snuff and it was nothing really, just sneezed a bit but my friend got kicked out of a place for doing a line of snuff.

what's the point? you really wanna snort that shit? if you're going to snort something i'd make sure it actually gets you high. this just seems unpleasant. smoke a fucking cigarette.

yikes, the plants looks like poison ivy, I started getting itchy looking at them...

tobacco snuff is alright, you get the sweet dopamine vibe but you don't have to stink like a cig. I doubt its healthy over the long run.

I smoked for ten years. I quit twice, once for 14 months, started up again for two years, and then I quit again and its been over 3 years. The first time was literally hell, every SINGLE day was a struggle, was a battle, a battle which I was only technically winning for not smoking, because the hell inside truly felt like I was losing..

when I quit the second time i was smarter, the first time I went pure force of will, utter cold turkey, like jumping into the pool and embracing the cold, no dipping your toes bullshit, and it was of course a disaster!

The second time I quit, I did it gradually. I acclimated myself to a life without cigarettes in a gradual way, not the step down with those patches or other nicotine products, but rather teaching myself to cope without as many cigarettes, a sincere cutting back. Over a period of 6-8 months I cut backs so much that finally I was ready to quit. I had gotten used to not owning or having my own cigarettes by this time, I was only smoking when it was convenient, when other people were smoking around me and had spare cigarettes ( btw, I would buy these singles from my friends so they could never say I was just bumming it all the time) For me it worked! I got used to not having to have a pack of cigarettes in my pocket like my comforting blanket cling to or pacifier to chew on.

If you are interesting in snuff to quit smoking DONT do it! Converting your tobacco habit from one medium to another is not quitting by any definition, and snuff is MORE dangerous than smoking, because its not the smoke that is inherently dangerous and carcinogenic, it is the plant itself! That is why dipping, chewing and snuff have HIGHER cancer rates and develop the disease much quicker and to a more disabling degree..

DONT DO THAT SHIT!

fuck it, I say smoke em if ya got em is much better for you..
