I've heard of combining tumeric with black pepper, for example.
I find the idea of cooking with ingredients that complement each other nutritionally really interesting, and I was wondering if anybody here knew more about it.
Last night I was cleaning my vaporizer, and felt like using it afterwards, but wasn't in the mood for weed or salvia divinorum (what I mainly use it for). I than remembered that I intended to try to vape some other herbs at some point. So I looked around the house to see what I could find. I found a bag with dried thyme, Salvia Elegans (I'm well aware that this species doesn't contain Salvinorin A) and Satureja Montana, from our own herb garden. I knew that thyme is sometimes vaped, so I thought, why not?
I wasn't expecting anything beyond flavour, but it worked surprisingly well! The vapor was a bit sharp (probably one of the herbs, and maybe I slightly overheated), but the after taste was pretty good. Before vaping the herbs I felt a bit melancholic/sad, tired, and somewhat stressed. Vaping the herbs had a subtle, but definite calming and uplifting effect. I didn't get high, but I surely felt a bit better. I went to bed half an hour later and slept great!
Looking at the properties of these herbs, my experience seems to make sense. All in all an interesting experiment, definitely worth it. Will probably do this again sometime in the future, maybe also try some other herbs.
Note: I normally always research everything I use in great detail before trying it, but in this case I knew these herbs were intended to make into a tea anyway and would more than likely not produce any strong effects when vaped (and were non-toxic).
Do your worst!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
