I love how this thread has split into 4 tangents:

  • Potsmokers talking about tobacco vs no tobacco in joints
  • Potsmokers hating on that brick weed picture
  • Americans whining about getting stereotyped
  • Some shit about hookahs



Good shit.





:lol: definitely, i just like pot. a cigarette here and now isn't bad, and if i had some top of the line tobacco, not TOP tobacco, i might do it. Maybe the thing with a lot of the people in america (NOT ALL AMERICANS, not even a majority, just a lot) is that the majority of the tobacco we can buy to roll is not that good at all. I bet it'd be nice with some quality tobacco.

I smoke weed by itself because I think tobacco's disgusting and I hate the buzz it gives you.

You can't even load bowls with that stuff. More like scooping it up out of the bag...but it was nice to have a shitload of weed during the ensuing epic acid trip.




Haha, I usually got it in a grocery bag. What a coincidence.

I dislike tobacco. Plus it's a lot worse for your lungs when you mix it.

"Brick weed" is brick weed because.. well.. it's compressed into a brick. (For smuggling purposes)
Ala:
Even though that is a worst case scenario. That is just some straight up nasty dirt weed. Although I have seen and smoked shit like that before, I never really enjoyed it. But it was all that was available... and dirt weed is better than no weed.
Marijuana loses potency when you compress it at all, especially if you start with some shitty weed to begin with. Throw in high temps and light/air exposure and it gets even worse. Most of the stuff that looks like that does in fact come straight from Mexico, with little to no regard for the potency or quality of the bud. Hell they don't even bother to separate males from females half the time. I've gotten shit before that's like 75% seeds and stems.

As for why Americans don't mix their weed with tobacco.. well all the reasons have already been stated in this thread. 1. Good weed is expensive 2. Most people think tobacco ruins the taste 3. We like to get high fast, at least I do. 4. We hold our pot smoke in for longer. I don't know about you but I don't hold tobacco smoke in, I inhale and exhale. That shit is bad enough for you as it is.
The prevalence of Europeans mixing tobacco with bud probably is due to the more laid back attitude towards pot there, as well as it generally being cheaper and more readily available. And yeah I don't know what kind of rolly tobacco you get there but the shit here is usually crappy tobacco and laced with chemicals, unless you buy good shit. I don't think American's are more against tobacco though... we are maybe more self-righteous about its use but to me it seems like freaking 70% of the population smokes tobacco. We just like our weed to taste like weed.
Also it's worth noting, I don't think joints are usually the preferred method of smoking. In groups of people maybe. But bowls, bongs, and blunts are all much more common in my experience. Also, in groups of people where joints are more common.. there is almost always at least one person that doesn't smoke tobacco, and the other half doesn't like how it ruins the pure taste of the bud. Most people like to taste the weed they just paid $400 an ounce for, or whatever ridiculous price most people pay.

Around here, they use funta (sp? sounds like foon-ta when they say it). The stuff is full leaves of tobacco. The pull a leaf out and heat it up with the flame from a lighter to dry it out before crumbling it into the cannabis.

When I asked a rasta guy why they mix in the tobacco, he said it is so they can still function after smoking. In a nutshell, according to local culture, pure ganja equates to lazy pothead while tobacco+ganja equates to mellow worker.

Yeah I have definitely heard that theory before.. not from many americans. I'm not sure if I buy it though.. I understand the theory behind it.. dilute the weed basically. But I can't really tell a big difference in the high between a joint with tobacco and one without. Except maybe adding a tobacco buzz to the high. Then again, being a smoker.. I tend to crave a cigarette immediately after getting high.

But then again most people I know don't even smoke joints unless it's a special occasion.. 95% of the time it's gonna be a bowl/bong with me or the people I smoke with. Conserves weed and allows you to smoke as much as you need. And I can rarely smoke an entire joint to myself.. usually I'll just take like 5 or 6 hits and put it out for later. But I consider joints to be a waste of pot especially when glass is everywhere.

Also, I've never been out of mainland North America.. so I'm not too familiar with the smoking rituals of other countries although I have smoked with many people from other countries.. there seems to be a major difference. Americans tend to want to get high fast - it is more often than not, a quick ordeal.. pack a few bowls.. pass it around.. everyone gets high.. good.. great. Play video games or whatever.
Whereas most Europeans and even Canadians, it seems to be a more passive social thing where you kick back and take your time. I mean don't get me wrong it's a social thing here too, but usually the only time we're smoking all night is if 1. It's at a festival 2. We're a bunch of chronic potheads.. which I am.. but you can only get so stoned.
I don't know this is a really interesting topic to me for some reason. I like pothead sociology? and comparing different cultures.

I don't know either. I don't care for tobacco, so I never mix the two. Like you, I find joints to be very wasteful and typically smoke out of a bowl. I can take one or two hits without wasting the rest. This way, a single bowl can be nursed throughout the day, maintaining a slight mellow buzz and still being able to accomplish tasks as well.

Yeah exactly, whereas if you are nursing a joint all day you're going to be wasting a lot of it between all that lost smoke and putting it out constantly.

Because I like to get super ripped, lol. Honestly, I smoke alone as often as I smoke in groups. Besides, in the case of smoking weed, it's the destination, not the journey.
