For those of you not from over here, probably over 90% of our weed gets smoked in joints mixed with tobacco. Pure joints with no tobacco are almost unheard of, and pipes/bongs are rather unusual. Which is fine if you smoke cigarettes as well, but if like me you are a non-smoker who loves his weed you are in trouble. I quit cigarettes about 6 months ago but my addiction is at serious risk of returning due to the number of joints I've been smoking recently.

When I smoke on my own (not very often) I roll with very low nicotine cigarettes (silver Silk Cut - 0.1 mg nicotine) or use my pipe. The problem is though, that all my friends that I get high with are tobacco smokers too, and so don't think anything of stuffing their joints full of heavy duty rolling tobacco.

Anybody else in a similar situation? How do you deal with this?
 
There's not much you can do when you're smoking with other people, besides roll your own pure spliff or bring your pipe.

I'm a tobacco smoker myself so don't mind it so much, I've only got a problem with people that put an absolute ton of baccy in there to the point where you feel like wretching after each drag :|

Alternatively, not so much of a great idea if you're not a frequent toker but a vaporiser will save your lungs a hell of a lot of hassle and could be fun in a social setting.
 
Haha, I've got the same problem sometimes when I'm around people that smoke spliffs (what's called "spliff" in the US is a "joint" here) as I don't really get high and I can't inhale cigarette smoke deep in my lungs. I usually bring my own weed and a little pipe - kind of antisocial but I didn't really get the "social" aspect of the spliff anyway (you wouln't hand around a bottle of beer either).

Fortunately, the people who I smoke with regularly are bong/pipe users as well, but you're right, it's hard to find 'em in Europe... (at least in Germany)
 
I've always accepted to roll without tobacco when asked by a non-smoker.

It is much less bothersome to smoke without tobacco for a cigarette smoker than it is to smoke a joint with tobacco for a non-smoker.

My biggest concern is the way pure joints burn, with the size issue being a close second. The first can be minimized by doing a good job with the roll, and the second is only an issue to our egos, a part of us that should be challenged at every opportunity. :D
 
come up to America (Alaska) and I will smoke you out just with pure ganja! haha

Get like a small glass pipe or bong...and start loading them suckers with pure and you will be straight!
 
I never spin. Roll your own, tell your friends they're gross, and they should smoke a cig after a nice cone or blunt.
 
ach, i used to have people bugging me all the time about not rolling.
dont get me wrong- i can roll the perfect jay, but on my own i prefer a bong.

PROS-
way less weed.
way bigger high.
no yucky baccy stinky sickness.

although if im with mates, ill roll blunts (not with those manky fuckin "blunt papers", with real cigars, how it is meant to be!)
or smoke pipes.
then again, i wont say no to the occassional well rolled spliff wi a bit of mayfair or whatever.
who can say no to free weed?

but when i feel like ive had enough nicotine in me ill go back to blunts etc.




the way to deal with this situation is kindly refuse if you dont want to smoke cancer-sticks, and suggest rolling a blunt instead, or just do yerself a wee one-skinner without baccy.



IME and IMO at the end of the day, a bongs the way!
 
It's really surprising that some still dont know that their's nicotine in a blunt same as a cig. It boggles my mind. Is this not obvious?
 
I have to say that if someone asked me to roll a joint without tobacco I would be very much inclined to suggest that they just not have any of my spliff if they don't like the way it's rolled.

Yeah that's the problem, a lot of my mates are like that.
 
^ Think of it from their point of view, you buy a tasty 8th, and you smoke it with tobacco no problems, why are you gonna put MORE weed into your spliff just so you can pass someone? if it was my buddy i'd tell them to roll their own or deal with it.

Only time I had this happen was some random guy I barely knew at a party (think friends friends cousin) bitching about me rolling with tobacco and saying I should roll pure so he could toke. Naturally told him to get stuffed and go buy his own.
 
Im pretty sure this custom is a throwback to the days when all we got was Moroccan or leb hash which really needs a bit of baccy to help it burn in a spliff. TBH a little bit of baccy doesnt bother me if there is plenty of green, but too many people just stuff in the cutters choice and then lightly sprinkle with greenery.....if I were you Id just avoid smoking with these people, stick to a pipe or bong and save your lungs.
 
In my group of friends we all quite often just roll our own joints anyway, I'm sure no-one would mind if you smoked separately.
 
yeah it is annoying when people use too much baccy.

i dont smoke cigs, but all my mates do, so they don't mind rollin with tobacco.
they generally agree with me, though, that a J that's more than half baccy is pointless and unpleasant.

I use just a little, enough to ease the rolling (esp if i dont have a grinder), spread out on the paper, then wrapped around the outside of the green, so as to make a nice smooth outer surface on the mix, to wrap the paper around.

I don't mind it with a little tobacco, but then, I don't actually like tobacco, so I am not worried about getting addicted to cigs.

on thing I REALLY hate... rollin with cigarette tobacco.
not good to roll with, tastes like shit and is dry & harsh
 
iv always wonderd why people do that,it dosent make it burn better, it dosent make it taste better,its not more effecient,and it turns people away,and trust me man,i smoke cigars! i just think its such a slap in the face to god to put his nice little girl with good grades,with his other little girl who prostitutes herself out for pokemon cards ,in the same bed (PAPER)
