I used to use tobacco in joints because that was the way everyone did it. When I had to quit smoking (ciggies) but still wanting to get high, I thought why not roll a joint without the tobacco? guess what, it works like a charm, tastes batter, burns very nicely and you get a cleaner high. Plus, no more nicotine and all the other shitty chemicals found in tobacco (unless maybe you use rolling tobacco). Oh, and one less expense
