No.
I personally do it because it gives a big head rush, that might just be the nicotine buzz though.

if you roll a pure spliff? it will get you higher oviously.
i never roll pure because i cant seem to roll it loose enough.. use a pinch evrytime.
No, if you dont smoke tobacco it may give you a bit of a rush, but it wont happen after a while. It is pretty obvious that if you roll a pure spliff the same size as a mixed spliff you will get higher off the pure spliff
I think mixing weed with tobacco is a waste of good green.
Would you smoke brown weed? Why smoke tobacco then?
Tobacco = shit.
of course you will get higher off a pure joint the same size than a mixed joint, but you're not gonna put more weed because its not mixed
I do mix a little tobacco in my weed, i dont really taste it, makes the weed burn more even, its easier on the throat when you smoke big jays, and makes it slightly fatter when you smoke with alot of people. Plus, its how its done most of the time here, so its like a habit..
Like MJAH has said it does make it weed burn more even. I tried smoking it a few times without tobacco when I was Canada, because that's how most of my Canadian friends smoke it, but doesn't light up well and you have to constantly stand there with a lighter in your hand and it's annoying if you're out.
^Agreed. I started smoking young and we couldnt afford pure joints even if we wanted to so it was tobacco all the way....
To be honest I like to smoke a ciggy straight after a J......it gives me an even more relaxed stone. I suppose its just the enhanced effects of feeling the nicotine though.
Smoking cigs while high or drunk or on anything, really, is relaxing and much more fun than smoking normally. I know plenty of people who only smoke when they're high or drunk, but when they do, they practically chain em.
Being a smoker myself I mix tobacco with weed to make it go further. A joint is one of the most wasteful ways of smoking weed (though the pros outweigh the cons). If you smoke tobacco anyway, mix em 50 50 (and mix them WELL) and roll medium... never pinner, never too fat. You have to know how to get it really tight, and how to mix them right, or your shit will go out all the time. Burns smoother, lasts longer, wastes less weed smoke inbetween hits.
Tobacco is addictive as hell though. I'm addicted and you will be too if you do it often enough. Avoid mixing unless you're visiting and its the custom (very common in England, and somewhat common in Canada... rarer in the US), or you smoke tobacco already. Doobie and spliff are terms specifically for a mixed roll. Smoker or not, tolerant of nicotine or not, you'll still get a headrush from a spliff, because you hit harder and hold longer when it's weed, than you normally do. Similar with a bong (bong tobacco sometime, it'll knock you on your fuckin' ass)
If you're a nonsmoker looking to conserve the green, try mixing with catnip (careful, it tears papers easily). Catnip doesn't taste bad, sorta tastes like weed really, and gives you a bit of a buzz to boot.
I love the taste of a pure joint,
I don't smoke though, so whatever you like.
Hahahah...
I ripped right now from a few pure Js.
You will get faster high and become stoned afterwards. If you smoke just weed you don't get stoned, only high. Try it and if you like it continue with it.
WEED gets you "high", tobacco does not. How would smoking tobacco with your cannabis make you higher for longer?Quote:

My bio prof (way back the first time I went to college) told us something interesting- if you take a single drop of nicotine and put it on the ear of a rabbit, that rabbit will be dead before 24 hours is up! :( NO, we never did it as an experiment, but I believe him! This was back in the 60s, before the all the news about cancer and all that was popular.
How addictive is nicotine? Once, early in our marriage, the hubby and I were out of money- day before payday. We scrounged together a bit of change and since we were out of food, I wanted to get some bread, a box of mac and cheese and a can of cheap tuna. Hubby said "NO! I need my Camel Cigarettes!" We had the very first argument of our marriage over tobacco. We compromised- I got the tuna and the mac & cheese, no bread, he got Bull Durham.
But there he was, young and madly in love, but willing to let both of us go hungry to feed his addiction! And, no, he isn't normally such an ass! Wouldn't still be with him if he was.
He is still addicted after 40 years. He still needs his tobacco. He's thinking of quitting.....again. I've lost count how many times he's "quit". Maybe THIS time..... Granny:hippy:

Interesting, isn't it? And its true! That's because the dose of nicotine from smoking one cigarette is about .9 mg. A drop of the purified chemical is substantially more than that, and for such a small organism, can be lethal, especially since it can absorb through the skin. If you handle quantities of tobacco leaves you can accidently overdose yourself on nicotine and white out, or worse. Similarly, eating a cigarette will make you sick because of the high dose of nicotine (and is an emergency for a child, as such a level could kill them). 90% of the nicotine in a cigarette burns up at the temperature the ember reaches, and this is why smoking does not deliver a lethal dose. I've read at least one case, even still, where two people had a non-stop smoking contest to see who could smoke the most cigarettes (dumb in so many ways). Both were hospitalized from nicotine overdose and the winner, after smoking 4 straight packs in a short time, did not survive.Quote:

(By the same token, many other substances are neurotoxins in their pure forms, including capsaicin from hot peppers. There's your pinch of salt, fellow smokers)
So true. I don't normally smoke tobacco, but a couple weeks ago I only had some kief from my grinder so I put it on some tobacco to smoke in my bong. After taking my first hit I had to sit down because of the headrush.Quote:

But i dont smoke baccy anymore, so its all pure weed for me.
It's just a gross idea to me, tobacco smells and tastes like shit, why would you mess up the nice subtle flavors of pure weed? Not to mention tobacco is poison, pot is natural and it won't kill you, to me that's like brushing your teeth and then rinsing your mouth with toilet water, I just don't get it. Couldn't you like, smoke the weed, then smoke the tobacco? If you want it to last longer, smoke less. If your worried about running out, then you shouldn't be smoking J's anyway, smoke a glass bowl or something like that.
i used to roll blunts with a friend who smoked. He told me to try i cigarette (im a non-smoker) after i smoked cause he said it would give me a good buzz and i wouldn't get addicted because i was high, unless i did it a lot. Anyway i tried it and it gave me a nice head rush, i like to smoke a cigarette when i smoke sometimes now. But, only every couple weeks or so and only if someone offers it to me.
You are rightQuote:

It does give you a little "boost" i would say, but at the same time the risk of getting addicted to nicotine isn't worth the boost. i say if you want to try it, go for it ONCE in a WHILE. i think smoking weed straight up is the better way to do it though. peace
I like weed and I like cigarettes, but mixing them is a no-no for me... I had already started smoking weed when I had my first puff of a cig, and I felt like I was dying; obviously, with weed you take deep tokes, but with cigs you only do a shallow breath. So when I first tried a mixture of the two, I didn't know which to do, and the taste woulda been better with just weed...
the point is, enjoy a spliff or enjoy a cig, but don't combine two very different things
