Sorry for bringing up a very old thread, but I got to thinking about the “snuff rock” and I think it would be possible!
snuff rock lol Nicotine Hash pretty much. Don’t mean to bring up illegals, but hash is pressed THC (pollen off the flowering tops of the plant which is the active ingredient) So why couldn’t you extract the NICOTINE out of tobacco and press it into a rock? First off, Nicotine doesn’t grow on tab plants in the form of pollen. It’s a clear/yellowish liquid. If you extracted it, it would be super poisonous as well.
Sorry if I go way off topic here but THC is not pollen. THC is only produced by the female plant and only the male plant produces pollen. The male plant grows pollen filled sacks which eventually burst and send pollen into the air which is then carried by the wind and THC is the sticky substance that the female plant uses to catch the pollen as it blows by them.
Snuff burns just fine as is in a bong, no need to bake it up IMHO.
I read somewhere that the amount of nicotine contained in a cigarette is very small and not actually psychoactive. Tobacco smoke contains high levels of MAO-Bs that when combined with nicotine creates its psychoactive effects. It’s also much more addictive. Other forms of tobacco contain higher levels of nicotine but lower levels of MAO-B chemicals and create a different effect. Also as someone mentioned nicotine is a stimulant at lower doses and a sedative at higher doses. You can achieve a more sedating effect with snuff if you do it right. The key is to get snuff that you can shovel in your nose over and over without much difficulty and just keep doing it. It feels different from smoking a cigarette, more potent and at the same time more calming.
leave some dip in water overnight, boil the liquid and the result is a nicotine gel (read how to do this a long time ago in a certain banned book) Then maybe boil that with water and baking soda?
I think its the burn coupled with the nic that makes snuff so stimulating.
cigs definatly have a decent level of nicotine in them.
@n9inchnails argh I’m sorry “Trichomes.” Pollen is on the male plants. Oh well.
i’m with snufster on this one. you can have too much of a good thing. potential hazard.
