Close the bag (empty out the air first) and begin crushing and mixing the leaves until only very small particles are left. If you used bay leaves you might have to break them down first or by themselves as they are pretty strong.

These are not the only herbs you can use. Google any herb you have and make sure it safe, but usually any household herb used in cooking is smokable.

Warnings

Do not use too much of your mixture when making the joint. Large amounts of nutmeg or oregano can actually get you high.

Things You'll Need

Small plastic bag
Pack or piece of any 5 gum flavor that has foil on the wrapper.
Dried herbs that you either have grown or have bought from the store. For my first joint I used: Bay leaves, rubbed sage, lemon verbena, oregano, nutmeg, chives, and basil.
Lighter
- Optional to use a type of filter but I didn't use a filter for my joint, just be careful not to inhale any of the actual leaves and to not burn your fingers.
