cr3am Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I know you don't get a buzz from washed tobacco (unless you're burning the hell out of it)But what does "washing" it entail? Literally putting it in water and hanging it out to dry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racemyghost Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 i believe you have to boil it and dry it a couple times. Ive also heard you just let it sit in water for a day and dry a couple times aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Probably both methods are used. The majority of the nicotine is in the form of this sticky resin on the surface of the tobacco leaf. By rinsing/washing it several times it removes a lot of this nicotine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
