Will the New Tobacco Tax stop you from buying Tobacco to mix with your Marijuana?

[thestudent14]

The debate should be that if weed were decriminalised would it allow users to grow their own plant?

If so, I can see every pot head growing their own lil bud baby, removing the chance for the government to tax anything. Would they allow it?

You would need your own license to grow, and you would have to jump over many hoops to get one. Same deal as tobacco.

I can't think of a worse way to smoke green than to spin it!!!

Im with you! Ive smoked spin in joints because a lot of friends do this, but when ive done it myself i stay away from the spin cycle ... and yes i smoke tobacco

I agree with bit_pattern...The tax is harm reduction. The new tax also brings in a lot of cash to get us out of the shitter as a country as well.

I would like to see weed made legal and sold at a dispensary and taxed marginally lower than cigarettes. Maybe have like a joint a day limit and track it or something?

I would prefer it legal like tobaco and charged a little more g for g. Like a 50g would be $40 instead of $30 for 50g of port royal. (after tax increase). I'd pay $70 any day. But 1 joint a day, dude thats affordable on the dole. I wouldn't car either way. But this is off topic. Back to the real topic. No, i'll still smoke.

Because it near doubles your cones. That's my reason. And thats because it's so f*ing expensive to a person who used it medically, ie. smoke heaps to get the thereputic effects. Not just a lil high. I thought that was the reason most poeple spin. But i'm not a proud person.

I find in my own personal experience, it just burns better when you roll jays if you spin it. But that is probs cause I couldn't roll for shit.

 

[Sameria]

Spinning for the lose!

I don't know many people who DON'T spin. Sad...my dad who is an old school stoner from the 70's/80's erupts in disguist every time he sees a spun bowl. Always rants about how the filthy Melbournites introduced it to Aus. Silly Melbournites

I dont really smoke much dope, but the new tax has made me decide to go on champix at the end of this month

 

[cssss]

Yeah, normally I'd get some tobacco to mix with my weed, but since the tax increase I've just been smoking straight. Tastes better anyway, even if I can't have massive joints made out of mix.

Spin is for suckers anyway. IMO.

Go clean, smoke green

 

[Luude]

The idea of mixing hideous tobacco with luscious greenery still baffles me.

Let's add milk to beer, i reckon it would suck complete dick, hence why spinning is bullshit.

 

[nath6023]

Yea, as for burning better, specially in a J, thats NOT what you want. Slower burning means less wasted. Backy sucks ass, i wish i could afford to go strait. But i can't.

 

[nath6023]

Are you telling me you dont put any tobacco with your Joints? And have you ever tried it?

I asume by his hatred for backy, he dosn't.....
But what he said is silly and ignorant. Why do people mix spirits with water? Why beam and coke? Some like the taste and it makes the drink smother. Same to smokers, (me). It smooths the pot. But i still would prefer to quit backy and smoke J's and use a vapouriser. Thats my bit. Peace.

I prefer smoking green now days but I used to spin when I smoked cigs and a pack of 40's was $8.95 from a corner store.

If your bud is cured properly, it will burn fine in joints without baccy. Those who aren't used to smoking green will usually have a nice coughing fit from a toke on a green spliff/pipe. The cough is more common with danker weed as THC is a vasodilator and it's this, as much as the smoke itself, that makes you cough. Mixing tobacco with your weed suppresses the coughing reaction.

From hanging with bong smoking friends, I have noticed that a large amount of the dodgy hydro that is currently sold around Aus, doesn't burn properly, even when dried. Tobacco has to be added to aid in it's combustion. It's not only the 'gravy weed' that is crap, there is plenty of crappy high turnover bud doing the rounds.

I'd hate to have my old weed habit and have to smoke some of the crud I have seen of late.

Today I only enjoy good outdoor, smoked green (or vaped hash oil), with a nice break between use for best effects.

You're showing your age now mate But the wisdom you speak with can't be denide. I should follow that advise, and i am now, but not volantary. Been 3 days since my smoke (broke). And i smoked an ozy in a week prior. It's soooo worth the break, cause the more you use any drug, the less it works. Not sure of "any" drug, but most good ones anyway. And i know i'm off topic, but hows the vapo go? Do you waste much? Cheers.

 

[nath6023]

It would look something like this

Option 1: I Prefer to Smoke My Marijuana mixed with Tobacco
Option 2: I Prefer to Smoke My Marijuana mixed with Tobacco only when I am Smoking Joints
Option 3: I Prefer to Smoke My Marijuana Straight, Without any Tobacco

Those seem to be the three most common responses. PM me if you disagree

Mate one more option.
Option 4: I Prefer to smoke My MJ strait, but can't afford it.

Thats me though, so 4 has one vote, so far.
But i think this will be more random then most polls. But thats a thought.

Wisdom can be achieved at a young age, I can assure you that much. I had some very good teachers of the entheogenic plant/fungi/cacti variety...

When done correctly, vaping hash oil is the most effective method of ingestion, with the least waste. Burning the bud leads to the most waste as the THC is more likely to be broken down before entering the lungs.

It's a good thing that THC is such a potent drug that you get high either way

I was a hardcore stoner for many years until I followed the wise words of Terrence McKenna and now I'll only use Mary Jane in large amounts with a good break between session. The high that can be achieved by using THC is greatly diminished by daily use.

There will not be a poll in this thread

It has very little HR value and it would poll such a small percentage of the broader pot smoking community that it would render itself less than useful.

God Bless Terrence McKenna, a true explorer and friend to many. I've been watching and reading his work since i was 16. Thats 10 years he has paved the way to open my heart and mind. I wish i had accsess to all the natural stuff, but looks like it's just gonna have to be DXM, until i can find LSD or shrooms. Trying to locate acacia for DMT but no luck so far.
And true, age is not measurment for wisdom, however, most young people are still to learn. Plus each trip to another plane seems to age you like 2 years spiritually.
Anyway, i'm way off topic. Cheers, PsiloSubNaut.
