Burning Sensation with Changa - Looking for Advice

[TheSurgeon]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been exploring changa for a while now, and most of my experiences have been incredible. However, every once in a while, I experience something troubling. The taste of the changa becomes a strong burning sensation that I feel on my tongue, in my throat, and in my lungs. It hurts like hell for a couple of minutes and really scares me each time. The discomfort also makes the trip very unpleasant until it slowly passes.

I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar and can shed light on what might be causing it. Here are a few details that might help:

The blends I’ve used seem to vary in their smoothness, but the burning has happened with different batches.

I typically blend it with some tobacco and roll it to a joint to smoke it.

I don’t have any known allergies or lung issues, but I’ve wondered if I’m sensitive to something in the blend.


Could this be related to how I’m smoking it, the quality of the blend, or maybe just my body’s reaction? Any advice on how to avoid this burning sensation would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Do the blends that cause these sensations have any herbs in common? Does the burning occur as soon as you smoke them, or is it after you have smoked for a while?

I think the spice used to make the changa should have had a water wash done. Try that.

Only 2 things I could think of would be your spice is contaminated, possibly with some lye/base. Or, you could be burning excessively when you smoke. Probably the former. Hard to say.
