Tobacco spliffs in the UK/Europe

Yeah, I know all areas of the world do it differently, and I've been told that's basically all they smoke in Poland as well, I'm guessing most of europe is that way. (I am from new-england which is north east coast in the US) Can I just ask why? I personally smoke cigarettes anyways, but the thought of fucking up my weed with tobacco is just weird. Straight up weed tastes better, smells better, and gets you high. I like to have a cigarette after smoking weed, but both at the same time? I have tried doing such once or twice and all it does is make me sick to my stomach and make my head hurt. That's a great way to ruin a nice pleasant high.
TBH I don't even like blunts that much for this same reason. I'd rather just smoke straight up marijuana any day.
What are the advantages to rolling a spliff? Is it to mask the smell or something? Are people trying to conserve their weed?
 
the dutch and germans etc have always loved tobacco.
especially the dutch, who also had brownbars or brown cafes, like coffeeshops but with tobacco, so called
due to the walls being stained from smoke over years and years..
dutch law made it illegal to smoke tobacco in coffeeshops etc and so the brownbars disappeared.

you'll often spot dutch natives rolling fat cigs with strong shag tobacco, and the herb smokers too usually put quite a bit in their joints also.


personally i don't smoke.
i roll pure grass, i dont fuck with legal herb highs. cannabis is the one and only.



the advantages are it saves your weed.
you americans are really the odd ones in this situation as you tend to roll fat joints and go through 3 grams by yourself in a day.
it comes from the time of the hippies, they'd use tobacco to space out the stash,
as often they were jobless in communes and shared the stash and shared the bill.

7 grams could last 4 ppl a week.
this is also linked to the explosion of bongs in america in the 60s/70s.
went along with the explosion of stoned suburban teens at the time.
 
^ They have tobacco bars in america as well.

I Just smoke as needed, I rarely blow through 3 grams in one day to myself. I guess I'd rather experience tobacco and weed seperately. I dont mix my vodka with water either :)

The way I see it, this is the wrong way to look at it; smoking only reached the Old World post-Columbus, so cannabis was traditionally smoked with tobacco. I think the flavour is more pleasant, joints burn better and last longer, and you definitely conserve weed; it always seems nuts to me when the Yanks in here talk about whacking 2 grams into one joint. Pure joints do burn quick as well, you can't really just sit back and chill with one.

thats exactly what i mean. kinda riles me up when i see someone smoking a joint with an amount that would last me a week on the bong.
kids these days aint know bout the value of da herb.
 
I smoke pot everyday all day, and I'll never stop either. However, I don't smoke cigs, I never have, never will. And the thought of ruining a perfectly good blunt with whacky tobacky makes me sick to my stomach.

Marijuana is gods great gift to man, stop polluting it wit dat brown shit.
 
lol, creationism IS so 14th century.

But know I wont stop smoking, and what is your point?

lol, your prbly one of those people who mix your pot w/ tabacco, huh?

LMAO! GTFOOH!
 
My point was:
A: That the "smokke pot errrryday mentality is initially appealing but, for most, ultimately unsustainable, and;
B: That cannabis is just another drug, and that elevating it to the status of a God-given gift or whatever is silly.

7 grams could last 4 ppl a week? an ounce lasts me less than 5 days.
 
Pipes are relatively uncommon from my experience but bongs aren't uncommon at all. Most joints I roll are like 70:30 weed:rolling tobacco(never straights) the tobacco just helps it to burn i find and is a slightly more economic way of smoking weed. I very very rarely have cigarettes and dont get tobacco cravings or anything so I don't see myself getting addicted to tobacco through smoking weed especially seeing as I rarely have a day without a spliff.


Personally I prefer blunts, but it simply isn't economic, especially considering where I live (cambridge, big student drug scene) most dealers are shotting at like £10/gram which is terrible considering an 1/8th should be like 3.4grams..

Oh and the "7 grams could last 4 ppl a week"...Me and most friends roll with tobacco and 7 grams lasts a day or 2 at max and thats ranging from like 2-5 people.
 
Okay well i feel im being unrepresented in this thread.

A. Love bud
B. Thoroughly enjoy tobacco

Now the result of those to is that i mix my weed with normally 1.5 cigerette to 3 g. Thats for bongs, joints though its normally 1:1.

Also on the 7g lasting 4 ppl a week. Ive seen 7g go between 4 people in an hour. Christ with effort and 8 hours i dont think i would have that much trouble. Then again tolerance, potency and everything else makes this a meaningless standard.

On the Europe side of things, never met a joint smoker who didnt use tobacco outside A'dam.
 
3.4?!?

i roll my bud with some tobacco. i have for many years, and, i even put a 'crutch' or tip, made with a rolled up piece of the paper box.; makes for even large hits. if i dont spread the tobacco lightly though out the joint to help it burn more evenly and stay lit, or to help dry stuff not ash off, i will add some as a buffer before the tip, just to make sure i get all the bud. since i roll my ciggies often times ill add like 20-30% leaf or bud, it ives me an uppy clear felling, and makes the cig taste like a wicked menthol... ;)

i tried it one day when i was a young'n and didnt have a pipe, nor enough weed to roll a joint, i had quit smoking and was on my 4th night when i got the bright idea to mix the two up. after doing this a few times i liked it enough to continue smoking spliffs, and cigarettes again!
