No ones mentioned that it helps the weed burn easier, and I'd say that it would actually get *more* out of your weed due to the fact that more of the weed would actually burn properly and more thoroughly (SP?) thus getting more bang for your buck.
When smoking joints with pure tobacco it just doesnt seem to burn properly and becomes thick, not properly burnt ash rather than powdery nicely burnt ash.
I've been an experienced weed smoker for about 5 years now & always prefer smoking it with tobacco. I live in Australia, and I'd est. 90% of people add tobacco to it.. we simlpy call it "mix" (us Aussies are lazy when it comes to talking.......it's like "pass the bong", heh)
This also helps a lot when smoking bongs, as the weed tends to burn very quickly and to get that "Rip" effect you need tobacco / weed mixed very finely. I find it hard to pull through an entire cone that's purely green. It also makes it less harsh (or Tickly on your throat)
As a cigarette smoker this also reduces the number of cigarettes consumed (although I'm sure that I'm taking in more weed than necessary....care)
I find the best joints are made with proper rolley tobacco as it burns slower, making your weed burn properly all the way through. As a self-grower (grow for my own use only) it doesnt really bother me wasting a few crumbs.....hell, I give away stalks and shit that are full of bottom crap.
Anyway.. in conclusion, it's upto the user.....personally I find that tobacco makes the weed taste nicer, less harsh and burns more of the actual green product meaning it's more efficient.
I'm writing this coming off a lot of Ice & I'm at work, so sorry for my dribble. My fingers are at full speed!!
I hope this clears this up.
