It seems to be a common phenomenon here that everyone hates batching their spliffs. Obviously the health argument is going to be brought up, but you're inhaling a cloud of smoke anyways - I understand that Tobacco smoke is carcinogenic while cannabis smoke isn't, but if you smoke a batched spliff twice a week you're not going to get cancer. It just seems so silly that people hate tobacco in spliff here so much. When I posted a thread on poppers (again, not the inhalants gay people use) people were saying such things as "I would never waste my high-grade medicinal marijuana by mixing it with tobacco!", which seems ridiculous to me because not only does it enhance the effects (for me), but it also reduces the side-effects (for me) such as the munchies, red-eyes and burning out.

So, do you roll your spliffs with tobacco?
If yes, why do you do so, and how much tobacco do you use?
If no, why not? Have you tried it before?
Also, do you smoke cigarettes?

For the record, I batch my spliffs at around 75% cannabis, 25% tobacco. I normally only smoke on weekends when I'm drunk, and I prefer it this way because cannabis enhances my alcohol high, and so does tobacco. As off as it sounds, I hate cigarettes and think they're disgusting.

There was a recent study that failed to link cancer to cannabis smoking, which was the opposite of the researchers' expectations. People smoke far less cannabis in weight than the average tobacco smoker would do. Also, there are generally no additives used in cannabis whereas tobacco companies add a plethora of toxic chemicals to tobacco (I'm really surprised none of the main tobacco companies has come along with a legitimate organic tobacco as I'm sure there's a nice market for it because of this very reason).

Adding tobacco to spliffs is sort of a cultural thing. In certain countries like the UK it's relatively common, as people pass on their habits to others, making it widespread. However, in other countries it's frequently unheard of and just isn't the done thing to do. I think it depends on how you smoke it. In a bong or pipe there's no need, however in a spliff it can help it burn. Unless you for some reason have a preference to smoking spliffs, there's really no need and it's a bit lazy. You may as well make the effort to go out and buy or even make a bong or other smoking device so that there really is no need for using tobacco to help it burn. Either that or use some other herb to bulk it out and make it easier to combust. I've heard there are some quite pleasant herbs to mix with it.

Some people smoke tobacco with it because they're already addicted to tobacco anyway, so they reason that they may as well smoke tobacco with their weed as they would smoke it anyway.

Personally I think it's sacrilege. Smoke pure. You know it's the best way. Cannabis is such a wonderful herb that god has given to us, so there's no need to contaminate it with the spawn of the devil that tobacco is.

You rang?

I just don't like the smell, taste, or feel of tobacco. Nicotine is not my thing and spliffs make me feel awful.
 
I totally digg spliffs with tobacco, but i understand people who refrain from any tobacco use turning them down.

rolling a big ass spliff and sharing with a good group of friends, its just great. make that continuously rolling spliffs and passing a few hours just sitting in a circle, real comfy, with great people, passing spliff after spliff. I enjoy that just as much as I enjoy taking one big ole rip from a bong; different situations call for different smoking methods
 
that said, crappy tobacco can make good weed taste like complete shite
but if you spend a few extra quid you can get better tasting, fresh tobacco, that makes for a nice smooth spliff
 
Heh what about the people who say they don't like mixing herb with tobacco but then they smoke blunts?

I can understand people smoking spliffs of hash mixed with tobacco.

I don't lose sleep over someone preferring to mix herb with tobacco, or if they choose to smoke tobacco in cigarettes, cigars, in a hookah, or in a pipe.

I used to smoke cigarettes and cigars socially as a teenager like while drinking or when I was out with friends on weekends, or on vacation. I also tried smoking a pipe once but I didn't like it. I started at 14 and stopped when I was I think 16? I remember getting drunk at 19 and smoking a cigarette but at the time I also smoked cigars like maybe one every few months while at a concert or with friends.

I'm not a militant ex smoker and I've frequently dated people who did smoke cigs/cigars, or they were heavy smokers, or chain smokers. I also dated a guy who was into smoking a tobacco pipe. I just ask that if I'm dating or in a relationship with a man or woman who smokes that they do not give me any cigs or let me smoke them if we drink booze together and I want one. I also don't want them smoking in my house or my car, but I don't care if they smoke in their house or in their vehicle.

Smoking cigars actually helped me to quit smoking cigs since you don't inhale the smoke. Yes I know you are getting some nicotine through your mouth but it's not like smoking a cigarette and you are not inhaling the cigar smoke even if some people do that. I also found that smoking herb helped me quit smoking cigs.

Yes I have slipped up and smoked a cig while drunk or puffed on a cigar while drunk with friends. These times have been very rare and I've been around people who I dated who were smokers and around people smoking in bars/dance clubs while drunk-back when you could actually smoke indoors in such places in my state, and even though there were times I REALLY wanted a cigarette I didn't smoke any.

I tried a friend's hookah once with shisha or the flavored tobacco and it was OK but I thought it would have been a lot more fun to put weed in there and smoke that.

So, do you roll your spliffs with tobacco?
-I don't even smoke herb anymore I just vaporize it a few times a year. When I did smoke herb I did not roll joints with tobacco. I never mixed any sort of tobacco in bowls, one hitters, or in bongs either.
If yes, why do you do so, and how much tobacco do you use?
If no, why not? Have you tried it before?
-I had a tiny amount of hash I got for free while on vacation in Spain and I did smoke Camel lights then, but I just had a pipe and I did not have any papers so I just smoked the hash in a cheap wooden pipe I'd bought and after I was done smoking and high I just lit up a Camel light.
Also, do you smoke cigarettes?
-see above.

I roll my spliffs with tobacco;
I choose the amount of bud i wanna smoke, then I add tobacco to make the size spliff I want to smoke
this way I can sort of adjust the time I spend smoking the spliff; smaller if its jsut for me and my lonesome or a big ole fatty if i'm sharing with a group of friends.

I try to buy not shite tobacco too. i use bali shag or norwegian shag
 
I just read the title of your post and the post itself..... But seriously fuck adding tobacco to your joints... that is some European bullshit... Get real man.. just smoke the plant like the US.... lol that sounded stoopid but seriously. what is the point to smoking bud and tobacco together?? that is just some cheap mans nonsense or something. i dunnoo...
 
Well why in the hell would you wanna get "Head spins" when you first start smoking or anytime while smoking? Get with the picture UK and Aussies, smoke your ganjah out of a glass pipe or bong and don't mix in the tobacco... You will enjoy it much more, i promise... I know you UK people got dank or what you call "Skunk" so don't be wallabies and roll your spliffs with tobacco wacko
 
Hmm well like I thought it was done because of the price of weed in certain parts of the world?

Like in Canada weed is pretty cheap soo there's no need to mix it with tobac.

But like when I go to Europe and smoke with my old buddies there , weed is more expensive so they add tobacco to save ganj

+ I also find that the hold your weed smoke in your lungs thing is alooot harder,unhealthier,&nauseating when you smoke weed with tobac
 
I just hate the taste of tobacco especially with nice heady nugs, also don't like how it feels...but I will smoke a spliff if I have to...
 
Here in Holland everyone uses tobacco in their joints... I generally put 1/4g of weed and a whole cigarette in there. Don't know about you guys, but smoking this way is much more enjoyable:

- Less rough on the lungs
- Cheaper
- Good buzz, a pure joint basically turns me into a zombie, this is just perfect

But yeah I guess it comes down to what the local preference is..
 
some of you people are just ignorant..^"less rough on the lungs?" miles away from the truth. op said "you smoke a spliff once or twice a week, youre not going to get cancer." i dont even know where to start..

i dont like smoking tobacco cus it tastes and smells like shit, makes my lungs and stomach feel like shit, and its another addiction i have no interest in adopting. but maybe im just weird

hehheh. I don't like tobacco at all really. It makes me sick. I will only take a couple of hits off of a blunt because I'm not going to pass up smoking but if I smoke more than that then I will get nauseous.
