| Can anyone tell me a bit about rabbit tobacco? No, not lavender. (sorry Peter Rabbit) It is used as a tea for respiration problems, colds, etc. I assume it can also be smoked. Where can I find it in California? Where can I get the plant itself? |

| you aren't talking about mullein are you? It can be smoked for asthma and I used it frequently in a tea for decongestion. |

| :S I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to smoke anything. I had an herbalist friend, who's husband taught at UT when we lived in Tennessee. She would give out rabbit tobacco tea for all respatory problems. It was in tea bags, so I assume that she bought it somewhere. Unfortunatly they moved to New York and we lost touch with them. |

I am from NC. Rabbit tobacco is gnaphilium obtusifolium. We have it growing wild throughout the yard. I enjoy smoking it, in fact I gathered some yesterday and plan on putting some in my homemade corncob pipe tonight. You can chew it or brew it also. It has a wonderful aroma. Growing up I always heard of it being gathered and used in just such manners. And yes I have also heard it is great for respiratory problems. I don't know where to look for it in CA but if you would like I could send some to you, though it would be dried. Send an email if you are interested.

| Rabbit tobacco, huh? All natural? Alternative to "cigarettes"? No nicotine? Sounds good!!!! I live in the northern half of Georgia....I have access to some land for growing ("bottom land").... I smoke cigarettes, and the price is high on two fronts (the cost [over $20 a carton] plus the foreseeable medical costs)....I want to substitute rabbit tobacco in place of cigarettes.... Smoke in a pipe? Are there any commercially available rolling machines for individuals? Most importantly, is it 100% safe? BG:) |

| $20.00 a carton?...man tha'd be cheap. Here in NJ they are like $60.00 a carton, $6.00 a pack. Where does this rabbit tobacco grow? I'm up for tryin it. Becca |
