Tobacco is Medicine

For thousands of years, natural tobacco has been an integral part of First Nations culture in many parts of BC and Canada. Used in ritual, ceremony and prayer, tobacco is considered a sacred plant with immense healing and spiritual benefits.

    I've just recently found out that nicotine is widely misunderstood. Tobacco is demonized and nicotine is always linked with cancer and other health issues. But it is never explained what is actually harmful...the nicotine from the tobacco plant or the 100s of chemicals that are added into the cigarettes and the wrapper. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and reminding us of the sacredness of the plant.

    The reason tobacco kills people is because they spray it with chloride. It’s hard to find natural tobacco that hasn’t been treated this way. I believe all pre packaged cigarettes have this problem. I use peter stokkabye pipe tobacco. My favorite is the Danish blend, but they have several other options that are also great. It’s one of the few brands that doesn’t spray poisons on it. It’s best to buy it in bulk from a reputable tobacco supplier instead of the pre packaged stuff. I smoke it frequently and I am a marathon runner. Regular cigarettes are poison… and I believe it’s intentional.

    @multorumunumsmoking anything is carcinogenic, by technicality. I may be wrong but I think even marijuana smoke is carcinogenic even though the biological components themselves are not. Maybe this is true for naturally grown tobaccos as opposed to the commercialized, profit-oriented tobaccos that many of us are familiar with today.

    Yes it's the abuse of any tobacco which can make us sick and addicted. When used moderately it is a totally different experience. Now I'm not claiming I use it moderately, but I try to when I use it out of my pipe, and with nasal snuff. It feels much better this way, than when I abuse it all day and night. But I agree as well and see the importance in respecting the plant.

    I’ve often wondered how indigenous peoples would have used tobacco medicinally. Not only can one consider set, setting, and intention, but also the will power to not over use it. I consider all the plants as teachers; had it not been for poison ivy getting in my eyes, I wouldn’t have made it s life goal to identify as many local plants as possible! If breaking an addiction to tobacco teaches us anything it’s will power. And even when one is going through withdrawals from over use, that is a good time to reflect on issues that need to be fixed in one’s life. Currently I have a cold, and I’m using tobacco (snus chew packets) medicinally, as they really seem to sooth my sore tonsils. Many people end up stopping smoking when they get a cold, but I figured maybe the plant can be used to treat the cold, so long as I discontinue use once the cold has passed.
