rolling with tobacco

i don't think i've ever smoked a blunt in my life (46 & set in my ways maybe) but i've rolled cigs since my early 20's & have developed a habit of rolling joints with 15-25% tobacco & the last bit 100% so i can just toss the roach. i find it really smooths out the smoke while still letting the flavor through. it does change the flavor profile some but the fact i'm, not coughing/hacking i can enjoy the flavor more. i have a harder time distinguishing flavors with a bowl of straight weed than a weed/tobaccoo joint. i'm curious if blunt folks enjoy this effect as well...

i know rolling tobacco & pot is common in europe.

Change the flavor profile some?Is that all you're smoking lol?Don't mind me it's just a shame when folks poison themselves throwing a positive light on it.Carry on.

I love smoking cannabis blunts. it does change the terp profile. some of the strains that ppl who smoke bowls can't stand terp wise are fine in a blunt if you like that terp profile the blunt brings in. really comes in handy for some of the landrace sativas with a rude taste (not all landrace sats taste good).


today ppl are judging strains by terps being in the top one , two or three top criteria. I like the high effects with good-great potency and long duration of high. some of the Malawi's ( including hybrids) I love smoke great in a cannabis blunt. I much prefer blunts to bowls personally. but hey! i'm a cigar smoker so wtf.

I didn't mean to sound crude I meant nothing personal and hope nobody took it that way.I used to love tobacco myself for a whole lot of decades its just so fuckin harmful in so many ways I hate it myself,I just have to remember not everyone feels that way.I really used to despise those preachy ex-smokers with an I'm better/smarter than you attitude always sounding condescending on the subject,I would really hate to come off as one of those type people.To each his own

Personally, I took what you said as 'all good'.. now, "I" can be condescending occasionally, if I was, didn't mean to be but facts are facts.. if one want to smoke... anything.. its your decision... :biggrin:


Turning into the "i'm sorry thread" ... I'm NOT sorry! :biggrin:

Cannabis mixed with tobacco not only affects the flavour of the Cannabis, but also affects the effect / high. I don't like it at all, in fact, I always pass on the mixed joints when offered.

To me, it is like having a good whiskey and you add cola to it. And just as the sugar from the cola affects the effect of alcohol, so does the tobacco with the herb.

Many people tend to get a 'whitey' when they smoke cannabis when mixed with tobacco; I see it all the time with south and north Americans that come here and locals share a joint with them, 95% of tokers mix with tobacco here...

Naw I'm definitely not sorry about the way I feel on the subject,I'm grateful as hell I feel that way actually.I think I sounded a little "I'm better than you" though and for my choice of wording and expression I'm sorry.You know I'm just not a believer in any kind of prohibition on adults for any substance I can think of,but if there were one placed on tobacco at least I'd be able to understand the reason behind it,I just don't understand at all the prohibition placed on the hoochieKooaramma period.

Unfortunately...

Unfortunately...

Preachy ex smokers are maybe just telling people something they aren't ready to hear...

My sons good friend died at 33 years old last year of lung cancer.

He was a great guy a carpenter. He went pretty quickly, about 6 months.

I quit in 1978. It's hard to quit even if you want to.

I have cancer and I don't judge anyone.

Peace

P.S. My son smokes and I'm trying to get him to stop

guess its how and who interprets the rhetoric being 'preached'.
Those that enlighten are after nothing more than your good/continued health. But I get it.

If it's a cough inducing weed, In a blunt it will still make you cough. I smoke blunts in groups of 3 or more. You can add a little baccy to the blunt an get that smoother effect, you can also add a little bit of fan leaves instead of baccy an get a smoother hit.Try it in a joint also with fan leaves or any leaf material that is not "sugared" instead of baccy. But try to stay away from the baccy an blunts, you will notice the difference IMO.

''The research is particularly relevant to the UK, as according the latest Global Drug Survey, up to 90 percent of European cannabis smokers add tobacco.''

someone tell me why i cant get the link out of this lol

try to tell european buy a vape or smoke clean weed, they look you like crazy


this is what they tell you adding cigaret makes the weed work more and it last longer
some say they dont get so paranoid


if 500 people smoke weed only like 3 of them have vape or only smoke clean weed for me exprience: P in europe so my guess is over 90%

i have quited and started many times

reason for starting again is i might smoke too much weed and mixing really makes it last little longer maybe and if shitstorm is upon you little cigaret might help or learn meditation most choose to smoke a cig
its hard to get ton of oil to vape if you dont have ton of indoor space in north summer is short and harsh so might not get even 10% what you dreamed
cost of weed might be more here too than in america, places where its legal i get thats its easy to smoke ton of oil

i had no idea that some people feel a difference in the effects smoking a mix. interesting, can't say i have but i'll pay more attention now.

also, i don't mind the preaching, i hate the fact that i smoke cigs.

I bloody love mixing.

For someone who makes concentrate, I dab maybe once a month, but rarely a day goes by without a spliff. Hash, rosin, BHO, whatever. Say or think what you will, it is my preference. To each their own says I.

Before I mixed grass and tobacco. I enjoy to smoke the whole joint but I rarely want to be that stoned. The butt end is always 100% tobacco. Not that I won't flick a straight roach. Collecting roaches always reminds me of buttpickers. Now I rarely mix with cannabis and just butt it out when I have had my fill and put it in a container for later.

the way I see it, tobacco in a joint ruins any if not all of the flavor associated with the herb. if a nicotine buzz is what youre after then, like others have mentioned, smoke a well rolled blunt and youll be buzzin fer sure. ive smoked my fair share of spliffs and since quitting cigarette smoking it really does nothing for me. personal preferrance though, to each their own.:smokey:
