I suppose if you don't smoke tobacco then it'd make it pretty nasty. It's just pretty standard here to smoke it in joints with tobacco, especially soapbar as it's very harsh in a pipe.

You can get nicer hash here too or pollen sometimes which can be beautiful. Don't get turned off hashish because of soapbar

Weed is much more enjoyable imo and I much prefer it but sometimes you settle for hash if you have no money or there is a drought. 25 euros for a quarter of soapbar versus 100 for weed :P
