Why are people putting tobacco in joints ?

[reallybaked]

I have been reading the forums for about a day , and decided I should registar .
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.
