Why are people putting tobacco in joints ?

[Skink]

sitting here with a pipe in my heart and the recall of the agonizing year it took me to not want to light a cigarette...

tobacco is a foolish additive...

If you are new to pot and tobacco,,, UK or not... DO NOT try tobacco for the first time,,,please,,, it has no value and many negatives...

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 . Rating: 5

Yeah, thats a good point skink. If your new to weed and havnt smoked tobacco before dont put tobacco in cos you'll get addicted to it.

It has no good points, only bad, although because im one of the idiots i smoke cigs so it makes no differnce to me, but yeah seriously, dont smoke fags.

i'd like to chip in here

im from yorkshire (midlands sort of in UK) and yeah, most people put tobacco in joints round here. the only reason i dont if it's a blunt, if i have loads or i an others wanna get really messed up.

Person, i rarely smoke to get totally out of my face lol, normally i smoke during college at the local park with friends, and if we have to go back to college after, so if we're totally messed, it raises suspicions.

But from my understanding, the bacci pads it out a bit, helps it burn better and changes the high a bit aswell.

I'm not a smoker so i don't really like the thought of tobacco in my joint, but it would just be too expensive/inconvenient to roll pure skunk spliffs all the time.

last time i had anything that resembled pure skunk was a really crappy blunt paper i rolled (cigar length, maybe a bit longer, blueberry flavoured bacci skin thing) and when i rolled it and poked it down, it was about 1/5th of the length of the paper and fatter than most cigars, so i got my grinder out and started packing it with weed, after it ws about 4/5ths full, my grinder was forcefully removed by friends insisting i put no more weed in or i'll kill us all (shandy drinkin puffs!) needless to say, it took 3 sessions and a combined total of 6 people to smoke it, but it was grand. there was probably more than £5 maybe even £10 worth of weed in that one blunt.

But yeah, like i said, its convenience, cheaper, burns better.

All opinion though i suppose.

Same in Ireland.
I nearly always have bacci in my joints. Burns better and stretches your weed a bit methinks.
It's rare around these parts that you'd have a joint without tobacco :|

My boys like to put tobacco in the joints we blaze. i dont care either way though. They say it's because it burns nicer, I can't tell the difference. :/

Something people need to realize about adding tobacco to joints is a mostly european thing. They don't have the same tobacco as we do over here, there's is usually much higher quality(this is just what I've seen from personal experince) and isn't as chemically treated.

over here we Toast the The tobacco this help to Get the Nikotine and others ingredients out.. Its works very well when done correctly You get a much Smoother smoke which last longer.. But we also seems to smoking on some bigger Pibes "lol"

Everyone ive ever known who smoked in england have put baccy in with thier j's, with most of them it would be about 60% tobacco. With everyone ive met in uni so far who smokes its like 90% tobacco joints, fucking stupid, i cant be arsed preaching to them i just say no to thier joints.

I wouldnt add a camel or a marlie or any american cig tobacco to a joint. I put a bit from canadian cig to make it burn better, and definatly it burns longer. I like the taste better personally. I quit cigs a few years ago and the pinch of tobacco doesnt cause me to get back on them, i know because i stop toking every so often and feel no need. I dont put half and half though like just the tip of a cig. Never in bowls.
