Why are people putting tobacco in joints ?

The proportions vary greatly.

I have 2 sets of smoking peers, my local people (live within 2 - 3 miles) and people from college (coollege is only 8 miles away but some pepople travel 25 miles in the morning to get there)

The local people consider a "strong" joint as like 30 - 40% weed, yet at college, a weak one is considered about 50% weed. so it varyies massively.

Personally, it depends on why i'm smoking. if it's to relax a bit before a lesson, i'll roll maybe 40 - 55% weed but if im smoking to get raelly stoned i mite go up to like 80% weed.

after reading this thread, im seriously considering rolling a pure weed joint next time i have the afternoon off at college.

I've' done half and half with a shitty joint before it was alrite but i couldn't taste the reefer.

[quote=MrGuyUK]there was probably more than £5 maybe even £10 worth of weed in that one blunt.

I love that...around here we it would be like $20 at least for a decent blunt.
I just paid $60 for an 1/8 of Jack Hair, beasters are like $20 an 1/8 though so that's alright

Sometimes my friend mixes 50/50 with tobacco if he only wants to use a little bit of some really strong weed. It's only like .3g, which is not really enough to physically roll a good joint, but if it's top quality stuff, then it's still enough to get totally baked. The tobacco helps form the joint when youre not using much weed and helps it burn.

Personally, I save the good stuff for the glass and put straight mids into paper.

i put tobacco in my joints 50% of the time. i like it cuz it gives me a headrush with my high, and it makes the j burn alot slower

what i dont like about it is the taste

i use drum rolling tobacco

No one around here that I know adds tobacco, though iv wanted to try it. Any J iv ever rolled is %100 bud. In my opinion it goes out depending on how well you ground down the weed. If you break it up slopy in your hands, its alot more likley to go out than with chopping the bud with a blade or grinding it.

My first post has to concern the use of tobacco when rolling a joint . Why ?

Seems like it would affect the taste of the bud .

Sorry if this is a odd question , but I have lived in BC for my whole life , and smoke pot regularly and have never heard of this .

Great site BTW .

I've been told that it's quite popular in Europe, especially Holland. I used to know some Vietnamese guys that used tobacco with weed, They claimed that it made the high last lots longer. When I was a tobacco smoker and I smoked a cig right after a bowl, it seemed to intensify things a bit. However, the only times that I have actually mixed the two is when I've emptied about 3/4 of the tobacco out of a cig then loaded it with weed and added a small amount of tobacco to the top. Great way to smuggle weed into concerts and such. Even with a filtered cig, you still get a damned nice buzz and the tobacco helps to mask the weed smell somewhat.

try gutting the insides of the filter with a pin or somthing...it would kill my buz thinking about how much THC was getting caught in the filter and not in me! :rasta:

50/50 mix of weed and baccy? Fuckin hell, thats a lot of baccy! I only use literally a pinch of rolling baccy in the middle of a spliff (layer of weed, layer of baccy, another layer of weed). If im low on herb, then I just roll a small spliff.
I do like pure joints though, but at the moment all thats going around is wet stuff that just about burns with baccy. And its still £25 a friggin eighth! :(

I like to mix a little bit of Captain Black Sweets (cigar) tabacco into my spliffs. It makes the joint burn slower. Also, I love the flavour of the Sweets' tabacco. Makes the joint so much better in my opinion.
