  1. I wonder if chewing natural
    stuff like this is ok?

    I do not think smoking anything
    is healthy.

    I can not breathe around smoke.

    Everytime I see someone smoking
    I have to cross the street so
    I am not walking behind them. My
    lungs can not take it. I start
    gasping for air.

    I wonder why the indians smoked or chewed it. Is it like a stimulate,
    or does it help calm the nerves or something?

    I wonder if you'll be able to
    find that other purple flower
    herb/weed/plant there that you
    want to ID?

    God Bless You and Yours!!!
