@SunnyDay, smoke of pure rustica leaves can be almost suffocating, though it turns relatively lung-friendlier, mixed with crushed stems (that’s a common practice among Russian growers). Untopped plants contain less nicotine. Green varieties are stronger than yellow. Surely, one can simply cut it with any weak tobacco, too.
wait are you saying you smoked that weird alien plant? I hope not. That’s the kind of thing that could sometimes be really bad. Sorry I just hope you didn’t and at least found out a little bit about it before experimenting.
@SunnyDay, I found both plants on my daily routes. The first one (‘‘alien rustica’’) is really abundant one, there are loads of them throughout Vilnius city and on the roadsides. Still, even elder acquaintances of mine don’t know its name. Obviously, it’s a feral weed, not a cultivar.
I noticed the second one (pokeweed) lying cut on the ground near the fence of some living house. I have read that the juice of pokeweed berries can be used as ink, so I explored them a bit, crushing one between my fingers. Indeed, a very nice magenta colour! However, this ink reportedly turns brown fast and is prone to fading.
