Who spins their weed?

Where I'm from, almost everyone spins their mix, and pretty much everyone smokes using bongs. This means, after a bud has been grinded up, it is then mixed with tobacco. Usually a ratio of 70% weed, 30% tobacco. Even people who do not smoke cigarettes will still usually smoke spin mix. I think this is only popular in Australia and parts of Europe.
I can not smoke green weed anymore, it's just too harsh on my throat and doesn't get me stoned in the same way, but I hate the way I feel after smoking spin mix.
Positive: -Headspin (Only really noticeable when you frist start) -Feel stoned as soon as you exhale your hit -Weed lasts longer -Less desire to smoke cigarettes while stoned. -Smoke is way less harsh and causes less throat irritation
Negative: -'Dirty' high -Feel very lazy -Headaches -Addictive -Increases negative effects of tobacco due to larger smoke intake as apposed to a cigarette.
I know that most of you who read this are going to say that it's a waste of weed and whatever. But how about some of you cigarette smokers actually give it a try before you report back.
Just grind like 0.2g of bud, and add a little bit of tobacco to so it's around a 70/30 mix.

marijuana smoke is less harsh than tobacco
actually inhaling marijuana smoke and air is almost like air

Thats is definitely not true.
Marijuana burns at a much higher temp than tobacco. When mixed with tobacco the overall temp. of the smoke is lessened quite a bit making it much less harsh.

The high is more quiet and mellow. It definitely relaxes the body more than just sativa

I have one friend who mixes tobacco religiously. So I'll occasionally do it. Only in Js though. The tobacco is too harsh for a bong hit and you can't hold it in as long. I never do that unless I'm with that friend though. The only benefit you list that would apply with me are making the stash last longer and luckily that hasn't been a concern for a while.

Yeah I agree, great for getting to sleep or just sitting on the couch watching movies. But I find it makes me lazy and tired throughout the day if I were to wake and bake or smoke early in the morning.

What do you mean by unfiltered? As in not smoking from a bong?

I find tobacco makes a bong hit much less harsh. In fact, I only smoke bongs. I am able to hold in the hit just as long as I can with weed. But smoking straight tobacco from a bong, that is really harsh and makes me cough my guts up almost every time.

I can't stand it. Not only does tobacco give me asthma, head spins and cold sweats, but the high is crap and I usually get a headache. Cannabis kills/stops tumours and cancerous cell growth. if you mix your cannabis with tobacco, not only are you removing whatever medicinal value there is out of it, but then adding an addictive, carcinogenic substances. I don't get it when people say they mix to get the mix/session to last - the only thing getting you high is of corse the cannabis, (after that shitty nauseating nicotine headspin) have slightly smaller bowls/cones of cannabis. If there is tobacco in a mix and I smoke I won't be able to smoke to the cone, and after it - my lung functions will be noticeably worse. if the cone consists of only cannabis then I can always pull it, the nature of the smoke IS very different. If you want to mix/spin to get your bud to last, purchase smoking herbs, not only taste better but they give you a high. Try mixing with Marihuanilla, or Damania for a heavier smoke. There is many others. Come on people we all know durries taste like crap because of all the chemicals in them. Cannabis always has a nice aroma and taste don't destroy it with cheap nasty tobacco. :P

Very true. The tobacco I guess cancels out any goodness from the weed. Also makes it very addictive in my experience.
When I pull a cone of mix, I get a nice, relaxing warm feeling in my head after I exhale. It doesn't last long at all, but that feeling is what I want when smoking bongs. Then, when I pull a green cone, it's just kind of an irritation to my throat, and a very unnoticeable high.
I really want to get myself off of the spin mix. Either by gradually toning down the amount of spin I use, or having a green cone, then a mix cone.
I find a green cone to produce a much cleaner high, but the spin cone is a very addictive dirty high - I mean sometimes I hate the way I feel after a session, but the initial feeling of pulling that beautiful mix cone is enough to keep me smoking it again and again.

Weed is harder on your throat without tobacco? This i will never understand. Tobacco irritates my throat, much much more Than weed.

I am sorry but anyone that mixes tobacco with weed is an idiot. Tobacco is harsh to me and the buzz is terrible. Tobacco blunt shell / wrap is as far as i go.

I think mixing tobacco with weed is absolutely disgusting! I hate the taste of tobacco and nicotine is addictive.
A lot of people where I live smoke blunts but I can't stand the flavor of the tobacco leaf. I'll stick with my pipe, thanks.
