5 Smokable Herbs to Complement Weed Like Chocolate and Peanut Butter
5 Smokable Herbs to Complement Weed Like Chocolate and Peanut Butter
You don’t need to clam bake with the Sirens of Titan – the largest of Saturn’s 274 moons and a Kurt Vonnegut classic – to rock the Stairway to Heaven anymore.
Sure, there was a day you’d body slam a gravity bong and spin comatose on the couch for 7 hours straight listening to the Pink Floyd’d Dark Side of the Moon/Wizard of Oz soundtrack on repeat.
But you’ve got shit to do. Sometimes riding a pure green dragon of a ganja high is too much Space Cadet surfing Saturn’s elegant ellipticals, especially on a Tuesday.
And of course, it’s the economy, stupid. Weed is expensive, even when it’s legal.
That’s the beauty of a spliff – it mellows out the ganja and balances your high so you’re nicely lit but well shy of the atomic mushroom cloud of reefer madness.
But tobacco will kill you. And it’s addictive. The traditional spliff turns a non-physically addictive substance into European hippie crack. Smoke it often enough, and you’ll practically kill someone for a hit.
That’s why we love the tobaccoless spliff – ganja mixed with herbs to form the perfect cornucopia of smoking sensation. Pairing a variety of herbs with your ganja mellows your buzz, complements the blended effects of the herbs, and stretches your weed budget.
Ganja and smokable herbs are like chocolate and peanut butter – two great tastes that taste sweeter together. Here are some of the best herbs to pair with ganja to complement your high.
Peppermint: Lip-Lapping Mentholated Coolness🌿
Practically the tastiest ditchweed in existence, Peppermint brings a lick-lapping coolness to your spliff that mellows you out like your lips are melting into minty ice. Peppermint is a hybrid mint that crosses Watermint and Spearmint to deliver the perfect concoction. Its cooling menthol smooths out harsh smoke, making each inhale easier on the lungs and throat. Taste the peppermint breeze.
At the same time, Peppermint’s natural calming and digestive properties can balance the sometimes harsh smoke of cannabis, adding clarity and a gentle lift to the overall experience. The bright aroma also enhances the sensory ritual, creating a more invigorating and soothing session.
Smoking Peppermint improves healthy blood circulation, calms the nervous system, and promotes easier breathing by helping to clear the lungs and open the respiratory tract. Packed with healing properties, peppermint brings both relief and revitalization to every inhale.

Passionflower: Its Flowery Gentleness Pairs Perfectly with Ganja
Native to North America, Passion Flower has long been revered for its calming and restorative qualities. It pairs beautifully with weed by offering a light, flowery gentleness to the smoke. Traditionally used by Indigenous peoples and later adopted into Western herbal medicine, this gentle plant is especially valued for easing tension in both the mind and body. When smoked, Passion Flower may help quiet racing thoughts, calm the nervous system, and encourage restful sleep, making it a natural ally for those struggling with insomnia rooted in anxiety.
Beyond its role as a sleep aid, it is also recognized for supporting emotional balance – uplifting mood, easing mild depression, and relieving stress. Many herbalists regard Passion Flower as a powerful yet soothing companion for cultivating relaxation, mental clarity, and overall emotional well-being.

St. John’s Wort: A Happy Herb for Good Vibes and Mellow Smoke
Smoked on its own or blended with other herbs, St. John’s Wort is often celebrated for its uplifting, antidepressant-like effects. Mixed with Ganja, it turns the happy dial past 11. Research suggests it may ease mild to moderate depression by supporting serotonin activity in the brain, helping to stabilize mood and enhance overall emotional well-being. In many ways, this herb feels like Saturday morning cartoons for your inner child—lightening the spirit and inviting joy.
Beyond mood support, St. John’s Wort also carries anxiolytic properties, gently reducing stress and calming anxious thoughts. For some women, it has offered relief from menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and mood swings, adding to its reputation as a versatile and restorative ally.

Skullcap: A Flowering Perennial to Mellow Those Racing Thoughts
Ganja affects everyone differently. For some, toking the Devil’s Lettuce can lead to a Speedy Gonzales of the mind: “¡Ándale! ¡Ándale! ¡Arriba! ¡Arriba!” You’re running in circles like your pants are lit with fire ants and your mind’s burning down to Woodstock ‘99.
Also known as mad dog, skullcap is a flowering perennial from the mint family that has long been valued for its calming and pain-relieving properties. Traditionally used to ease anxiety and quiet restless thoughts, skullcap pairs especially well with ganja. For those who find certain strains overstimulating or prone to sparking racing thoughts, skullcap brings balance. It softens the edges of paranoia and tempers the high with a gentle, grounding calm—like a steady current beneath the waves, carrying you along with ease.

Beyond its role as a sleep aid, it is also recognized for supporting emotional balance – uplifting mood, easing mild depression, and relieving stress.
