Consumption of Tobacco (in any form) is a Bajjar Kurehat.
Consumption of Alcohol is also a Kurehat.
In general, Gurbani discourages the consumption of all intoxicants.
Intoxicants were primarily used as pain killers by Singhs in the past.

After leaving Chamkaur Sahib, Guru Gobind Singh was separated from the Singhs, and had sustained injuries to his feet. Maan Singh, Daya Singh, and Dharam Singh found Guru Gobind Singh and then they proceeded to Gulaba Masand's house where this dialogue takes place.
From the auspicious mouth of the Guru, he said to those around him, "Go bring large amounts of Cannabis and black pepper
I have gone a long time without any intoxicants, this beverage brings great happiness to my mind" Gulaba the Masand heard these words and got ready to leave, he went to the market to purchase these items. 
When the Guru was seated in this orchard, the Masand went quickly to the city to complete his task. Guru Gobind Singh had taken the milk of the Ak plant [for medication, commonly called the 'Apple of Sodom'] but it had caused dryness [on his feet]. He desired an intoxicant to drink [which would remove this pain].
In understanding that in his company there were three Singhs, he asked them, "does anyone have Cannabis close at hand?" Maan Singh had small amounts [of cannabis] wrapped up, and hearing this the Guru told him to unwrap it.
[Maan Singh] had prepared the small amounts of cannabis and gave it to Guru Gobind Singh, the drink was extremely strong and the Guru drinking it was extremely pleased and gave a blessing to Maan Singh - "Within the Khalsa there will be Panth that belongs to you.
It will be beautifully adorned in your attire and demeanor - countless in number they will be called Akali Nihangs." In this way about half an hour passed, but their desire for more intoxicants remained.

Giani Gian Singh, in his Naveen Panth Prakash [1880], describes the celebrations following a military campaign victory by Baghel Singh's troops, the Karora Misal, and the Raja of Patiala, Amar Singh
The Raja [Amar Singh] pleased the entire army by making a sweet Cannabis Sacrament [Bhang Ki Degh] in milk
Drinking this cannabis the Nihang Bhujangis were greatly pleased with the Raja
Also great amounts of Karah Prashaad were made and freely distributed to the Panth [army of Karora Singhia Misal]
In this way great amounts of Karah Prashaad and Bhang Ki Degh [Cannabis Sacrament] was distributed to the Panth and the Raja became greatly loved by the Singhs

Which Gurbani? Have you listened to the Katha of the Gurbani, which you read?
Do you take a cold shower before reading Gurbani?
 
Bhul chuk maaf

Do you do Ardas before reading Gurbani?
Are you Amritdhari?
Do you have face similar problems (focus issues) in other areas of your life? 
 
Bhul chuk maaf

Have you heard the Katha of Sri Aad Gurbani? Have you received its Santheya?
 
Bhul chuk maaf

You can read a Shalok before reading Gurbani.
Gurparsaad, Daas will post the katha related to that Shalok.
 
Bhul chuk maaf

You can do Santheya online bro.

Another potential danger in doing Sehaj Paath, without Santheya, is that you might make many mistakes.
 
Bhul chuk maaf

You might enjoy the Sehaj Paath more, if you know the meanings of Gurbani.
IMHO, listen to the Larivaar Katha of Gurbani first and then you can do the Sehaj Paath.
Another possible option is to listen to Larivaar Katha of one Raag, then do Paath of that Raag and then move to the next Raag.

Below the Great Poet [Mahakavi] Santokh Singh describes the instance where Banda Bahadur declared his Guruship and how the Khalsa replied to this request
Banda said - "Give me the status of Guru - all of the Khalsa should do my Darshan." When he said this to the entire congregation of Singhs tested him and said, "We will not accept this"
 The Khalsa said, "You have made a separate group from the Guru and we will not mold into this - You have not even taken Khande Ka Pahul nor have you adopted fully the conduct befitting a Singh
If you wish this type of praise - then partake in this meat and alcohol we place before you and wear the blue clothes [of the Khalsa], then we can speak about the unity between us.
When the Khalsa replied in this manner, Banda thought - "My Dharam is to be vegetarian - I cannot partake in these three things." Having thought this Banda had great jealousy for all the Singhs [of their status]

Around the city of Kare, near Allahabad, a devotee named Maluk Das was eagerly waiting to meet Guru Tegh Bahadur, but suddenly changed his mind when he heard that the Guru had just come back from hunting with his Sikhs.
He thought, "I am a Vaishnavite [and vegetarian], but I've heard Satguru Tegh Bahadur is a meat eater.
Well now I don't think it is appropriate for me to go and meet them, I should just sit here in my house and meditate on Hari - Guru Tegh Bahadur is important, and I'm worthless, we are not equal.
In the world there are powerful and weak people, some people receive a lot of wealth and some are poor, why should I think more about this? I'll just sit at home and meditate on Prabhu."
Maluk Das thought about this and left any desire to meet Guru Tegh Bahadur, he just sat in his house meditating. Guru Tegh Bahadur realized this and thought "the mind of Maluk Das, the devotee of Hari, is deluded and confused.
The Saints do not contemplate on the [lower level thinking] of what is forbidden [or what is appropriate]. He saw my exterior practice and lost his faith, he was not a lover of the inner state of mind".

Bhai Mani Singh beautifully recited these stories of the Exalted Guru's miraculous feats. In the early morning (6-9am) the True Guru would write stories of Krishna [Krishnavatar in Dasam Guru Granth].
With such a great [poetic] skill the Guru sang [these verses of Krishnavatar], which all the Sikhs desired to hear, as it was such a purifying composition. Then after this the Guru would come out to eat and hold a Divan [court session].
Following this, the Compassionate One would take with him all the warriors, they would partake in hunting, killing many tigers, wild boars, nilgays (blue-bulls), and endless amounts of pigs, rhinos, and rabbits.

The Guru then said to his Sikhs, "All of the Khalsa should listen [to this directive], carrying weapons is the highest action.
When you come to have my Darshan, adorn your body with weapons.
When showing yourself to me have your Kamar Kasa [waist band which holds weapons] tied, in such a way I shall be extremely happy.
Those men who do not have Kesh [unshorn hair] or Shastars [weapons], do not recognize those men as full men. Those who have Kesh [unshorn hair], recognize those as half-men.
Those who have adorned themselves with Kesh [unshorn hair] and Shastar [weapons], those men have attained their full form."
After listening to this discourse by the Guru, Sikhs would come to the Guru adorning various weapons.
The appearance of a Singh [is complete] with weapons, when the Guru see's this He becomes extremely happy.
Those Sikhs who went towards the Guru without wearing a Kamarkasa [waist band which holds weapons], the Guru would never look towards them.

@chatanga1 @dalsingh101 @sarabatam @Soulfinder @Trimandeep Singh and others.
Have you heard of this Maryada before? Did Nihangs Singhs do this in the past? Any historical sources which mention this?
A bowl of sacrificial blood (possibly after Jhatka), is passed around during Amrit Sanchar (possibly for sipping) to initiate the Sikh into Kshatri (warrior) tradition of the Khalsa. This is done after the regular Amrit Sanchar, where the bowl of Amrit (Khande da) has been passed around for drinking.
@GurjantGnostic - Have you come across this tradition in any other warrior cultures?
