I am about 40 years old man from Sweden.
I have just started my first tobacco grow and want to create a grow blog and share it with others. I hope to meet friends here from all over the world.
As a swedish guy I am ofcourse using SNUS, it is a swedish tradition that is centuries old.
My favourite SNUS is Ettan lös and General Mackmyra lös, lös means loose in swedish.
I like that SNUS is both a swedish tradition and a native american tradition, it is a mix of old and new at it's best.
Also, naturrally I think it is a shame that SNUS is illegal in the rest of Europe.
I have autism and ADHD and I regard SNUS as medicine.

Previously I have grown beautiful flowers to please the eye and illegal herbs too, I regard my body as my property and that I own the right to use any medicine I want, including illegal medicinal plants. At the moment it is only one illegal plant in Sweden*****. It is a shame that medicinal plants grown in Scandinavia for at least a millenia is now criminalized.
I think it is a crime to deprave people of medicinal plants that belong their cultural heritage.

I try to be friendly at all times but sometimes I disagree with others and if so I tend to say so, I have no problem to be friends with people who have a different mind than me, in fact I enjoy to have friends with different thoughts than me.

I dislike liars, thieves, authoritarianism and animal experiments.
I am a vegan and I have a one year old dog.
I love my dog and my friends, they are my heros and my gods as they guide me to a better life.
I hope I will meet friends here from all other the world and share experiences with you!

My best wishes.
Loui Loui

Welcome here!
I’m a newer guy myself and am sure you will find many helpful people along with an amazing amount of information on the site!

I find that very refreshing.

Welcome to the forum. Be sure to read the New Growers' FAQ, and scan through the topics in our Index of Key Forum Threads. Both are linked in the menu bar. Feel free to start your grow log in our Grow Blogs forum.

Thanks!
It is legal to use but illegal to sell, it is a shame cause here in Sweden snus saves lives.
Many people use snus instead of cigarettes and as a result we have less people with lung cancer compared to the rest of europe.
The latest trend is all white snus, it is nicotine pouches without tobacco and it tastes like candy, I don't like it. The pouches with tobacco inside is ok cause it is very convenient but lös or loose is the best!

I am not aware that it is illegal, in fact I even bought a small snuff box to try, I noticed that it is for sale in all forms, both snuss and snuff. I think I am not far wrong when I say that tobacco users smokeless are very few in Eastern Europe.

I am happy some snus have found it's way to you but if it is in the EU it is maybe smuggled cause we are not allowed to sell it to the rest of EU.
A fun fact is that when we became members in the EU the number one biggest fear was that EU would mess with the snus so we are the only country with a snus exception, so EU can't touch it.
What snus can you get? Can you find lös/loose?

Welcome from Wisconsin, USA! Lots and lots of great info on this forum. Not to mention hours upon hours of “rabbit holes” you can go down! I’m excited to see how those plants turn out!

I had no idea snuss was forbidden in Europe. I thought it was popular there. I've never had any. Might try to make a batch some time just to see what it is all about.

Yes please do it, I can smoke also but snus is better than cigarettes, the nicotine is absorbed fast under the lip but the nicotine is released slowly from the prilla, if it is pouches the nicotine will be released faster if the pouch is wet/brown and slow if the pouch is white portion/pouches.
A prilla or a pris is a piece of snus after it is baked, we say that we bake a prilla, that is to take some snus from the snusdosa/can and form it to a ball, it is the equivalent to a lighted cigarette.
After it is baked you put it under your top lip to either the left or right side of the center but close to the center, there is a piece of skin in the center and the prilla can be put right next to it but not under it. Rarely put one prilla on each side, it is like smoking two cigarettes at the same time!

If you are a beginner you will not have a pocket under your lip yet, then it wiłl easily fałl down on the teeths, if you like it like that you are cool.
In the beginning you can rinse it out with some water and spit it out in the sink, it is cheating but I do it sometimes cause I like it when the snus is loosely spread under the lip rather than formed to a hard ball, that provides the best experience for me. This is a prilla or pris on the lid of an Ettan snusdosa/can.

Thanks, that is very informative. I mostly smoke pipes and sometimes a cigar. Also take nasal snuff but snuss is new to me.

I also smoke sometimes but I feel much better in my lungs when I only use snus.
Snus is very common by people who exercise cause snus is not nearly as bad as cigarettes.
I strongly advice you to make a small batch of snus.
