Yes mint and peppermint are definitely great side plants for Mj. I haven't tried smoking but for vaporizing mixing about 50% of fresh peppermint gives me the best taste. All my buddies thought it sounded like a very feminine way to get high compared to their old bong and mix of 90% tobacco and 10% trash weed ;O)) - after trying my volcano with peppermint they all got a little feminine loving it ;O)) Another great thing is that you make the weed last a lot longer (i know it's a little weaker compared to 100% but i think 2 bowls of this give me more than a bowl of pure weed). By the way i don't use peppermint every day - just every now and then when i feel like hot'n cold ;O)
