Light Strain to replace cigarettes ?

hi all,


I'm looking for a easy strain to replace these nasty cigarettes on daily basis for a close friend, this is meant to be a day time smoke at his shop.. its open place with people but he doesn't care much where he at..


so im looking for minimal odor... I'm not expecting -0- smell but the less the better...

same with potency, hes looking for the lightest smoke around without getting wasted at daytime or getting massive head race.


he is a heavy smoker at night when all work is done, usually SSH/Diese/blueberry, the usually .. sometimes pure Indica.



so I'm thinking of recommending a weak sativa maybe? with the least smell, least potency, good taste... yield and flowering time is not an issue here.


anyone have an idea?


me, i only try the potent stuff so i really don't know of anything like that that could replace cigarettes on daily basis..

help me out here !

Orisha from Mandala maybe?

That actualy looks good, thanks for that, I'll do some research on that strain

Henkes Lolland is the strain you're looking for.Ask in the Danish section.

Namaste

Why not just some bagseed? Pretty much all you would need is something that will bulk up quickly/early and harvest it very early. An indica would fit the bill, and being picked early will make the potency very light and daytime friendly. Smoking whole joints like a cigs would be reasonable here, and I think an early indica would mimic nocotine buzz. I think pretty much any strain will do to be honest, no reason to complicate already low expectations.

You could cure out the leaf like tobacco and roll and smoke that. You could even use the leaves from a vegetative plant for minimal potency. Prolly the best way to replace ciggarettes with any cannabis product, prolly.

Or, make water hash then dry the buds out with a fan. The potency and flavor will be gone, and you can capture it for yourself. Let the bud sit in water after the hashing to leach out the flavor and harsh tasting chemicals, like with a water cure.

No weed is gonna replace the tobacco buzz that I am sure. I live in a place where everybody uses tobacco mixed with weed or hash, as myself. Still a lot of these people do not smoke cigarettes, like me.
My experience with trying to stop my mixed-tobacco use and those of my entourage confirmed to me that tobacco is strongly addictive physically, as well as mentaly. Smoking pure lower my use, mostly because I tend to give more time between two consumptions, Vaping as the same effect. I kind of isolated the buzz of nicotin (when THC is there - I do not know the effect of pure nicotin), it gives a very strong back body hit; similar sensation to what a bong would provide, which makes you almost intentionally always use tobacco in your joint; I've seen it with me and some friends....

Back on topic; Using weed as a replacement will not work IMO.
You can use it as a substitution for the craving of some smoke but at one point your friend will have to convince himself that the negative health impacts of tobacco are far outweighting the benefits and stop it. If he does not like to be high in the day he will have to just stop smoking during the day, I think. I do smoke heavily at night; still a light weed joint in the day will not be functional in my work field. I have tried, stuff's still to strong. But it may be different for him.

He can smoke hemp of course, which is not so good from what I have heard, not so bad either, but pretty impossible to find. With no nicotin buzz, and no high; your friend will certainly stop smoking straight away, making the hemp kind of a reinsurance he can smoke something but he will just not smoke it I bet... Any herbal smoke mix would work...

In any case smoking any weed will smell strongly weed and definetly far from tobacco. Maybe he can roll in eucalyptus leaf, like the indian biddies to hide the smell a little.
You could pick up some jamaican sativas, thai or nepali, Ace does some nice stuff. It does get you high, but you can find some phenotypes that smells pretty light, with a very functional high which is good for most work.

Good luck to your friend !

thank you for the replay's, some great ideas here but he definitely wants weed, just not the Indica type that will get you body stoned or too much of a race sativa high.. ill explain, he once grew in his place from a bagseed and that was some awesome smoke that we had. it was very low on odor and the high was light but still fun to work with all day long.. in my opinion it felt like a sativa that was chopped at week 5 tops..
we never knew what was that strain.

i know for sure hes not after tobacco buzz but more of the smoking itself, so i just thought a light sative could be the ticket for him, nobody will annoy him where he at even if he smoked all day, hes getting old..

@titoon29, i know exactly what you mean, nicotine is very tough to beat, but can be done for sure.. hopefuly we both quit soon.. thanks for the suggestions pal.

thanks again all

high bro!

id recommend getting some hemp seeds, and grow these... or, you could take any strain, sieve it (remove trichomes) and, there you go, a very weak effect is achieved + he can smoke the hasj at nite

blessss
ps.: smellwise water curing could help with the situation.

When I gave up the cigs I used leaf shake as a placebo cigarrette and a nicotine patch. It worked great the leaf J's gave me a burning cigarrette like device "in my hand" and the patch allowed me to say "you have nicotine in you body you don't NEED a cigarrette." The first 3 weeks were rough. After the first 3 months it got much easier. In fact years later I still have my last pack of cigs untouched hanging from a springtrap on the wall.

man, thats a great ****ing idea. thanks !

when i quit cigs, i went cold turkey and just got bags of cheap shit. Bought some papers and rolled a doobie everytime i needed a smoke. Weed just gave my hands something to do. After about 5 days and more joints than i have smoked in years, the stranglehold of nicotine was completely gone. I do normally smoke blunts, so in this time period i gave those up as well.I dont think any particular strain will help per say, but any bud is better than no bud, I'd get something thats not too strong because your going to smoke it like a freight train

He could buy one of those "smoking blends" that you're meant to mix with weed from a headshop if we want to forget the low potency strain idea. Something like this:



Just be careful not to get one of those actually psychoactive blends like Spice or whatever.

Find the cabbage phenotype in Serious Seeds, Chronic... No High, No Odor but a hell lot of yeild ! I have a couple of friends who smokes it when they are working ! I can't smoke that pheno because i think i tastes like cardboard.
I've heard that it should be possible to find a couple of the cabbage pheno i every package...

I find that vaped weed has a very similar toasty flavor to tobacco and makes for a pretty acceptable substitute if you gotta replicate the motions.

Depending on how hard he hits it in the vape, assuming he has one, he could also vary how much potency remains in the vaped material.

Same thing worked for me I was smoking high grade weed and found that after Awhile I just wasn't as high as I used to get from it and could function normally. I then had to stop smoking for a bit to be able to get super high again.

I grew this same pheno and I would agree with you.

Hi,

your friend could water-cure his buds to get the Smell issue fixed,the problem is the taste will be gone also,if you don know about water-curing just search for it,there should be enough threads.You basically put the buds in a container wich is the filled with water,the water gets exchanged daily.Im not sure how long this needs to be done,i think around ten days and you have to dry the weed with a little ventilator next to it since its soaked with water,it was never an option for me since taste would be gone and thats one main point why i smoke but if your friend looks for the lowest odor possible the bud wouldnt taste very strong anyways i think.

I have no real idea when it comes to strains that could be suitable for that situation but that recomended chronic pheno could be what you lookin for,yield should be there for sure.

does he smoke out of bongs often? i myself and others i know who smoke bongs heavy get a much lighter effect from a joint, 1 joint of the same weed for me gets me a lot less high than smoking the same amount in a bong.

also over here you get people who grow in soil with poor nutes off the supermarket shelf, pretty low npk, plants grown in this method are never as strong either..

in terms of strains, i was hunting around for a motivational but not racey daily strain thats quite clear and functional, i narrowed it down to Ace Congo, go read some smoke reports and you will see most people say the same thing, its not exactly weak though from reports (i've not grown her out yet)

but between it being a joint, grown with a weaker feed and that strain, i think that would get me exactly what you're after..
