About this episode

Judson Carroll discusses the medicinal properties of tobacco and its uses while emphasizing responsible use.

By special request, I discuss the medicinal properties of tobacco, most of which are topical. Tobacco is a powerful herb that can be both useful and very toxic. Care and common sense must be exercised. And, while I do not advocate its recreational use, it is by no means a bad or evil plant. God made everything and declared it "good." While anything may be misused, nothing in nature should be demonized because of irresponsible or mis-use.

Emmett Miller had a hit with it in the 1920s, and Bob Wills in the 1930s, Louis Prima in the 1950s, David Lee Roth in the 1980s... and countless others. It has a great rhythm, which I enhance with some western swing style chords for a moving bass line. Then, I teach you a fingerstyle solo/break and give you some ideas to turn this tune…
