Experimentation with things that are suppose to be smoked is fine. If its not suppose to be smoked, you shouldn't smoke it. That's why some people think its stupid and childish....because it is.

Its like cough medicine, it wasn't created for the purpose of ODing and tripping....just as oregano or other spice wasn't created to be smoked lol...so if you do either, you look like an idiot...its not really opinion...think about what your doing for 2 seconds and you'll realize 'Wow..I guess I do look and feel like a fucking retard smoking basil' lol.
