well, i think we can all agree that weed is better to smoke than tobacco, right? doesnt it taste better, smell better, and feel better in your lungs? so why would you wanna mix that great smoking experience with something that not only tastes less good, and doesnt get you high, but also has been proven to kill about 12K people a day? not to say that smoking pure weed is great for you, but id venture to say that tobacco is probably worse, and i think its just a shitty association to make, to mix good and pure and naturally delicious mary jane with something processed to death and doused with tons of deadly chemicals proven to cause cancer, which are only added to make us addicted to pouring money into the pockets of corporations.
in summary:
tobacco = big business weed = supporting your local farmers
tobacco = gets you addicted weed = gets you high
tobacco = deadly weed = less deadly
tobacco = tastes ok (if your already addicted) weed = tastes GREAT
just my opinion

I`ll smoke hookah tobacco through a waterpipe(hookah) Its turkish tobacco aged in molasses with artificial flavorings. Its like a blunt taste except less nicotine, if you throw buds in a hookah the bud will burn before the tobacco ever smokes because of the molasses

When I lived in the Virgin Islands the ppl I smoked it with put what they called funta(sp) in their joints, which is pure homegrown tabacco and I enjoyed it I would like to get some. I wouldnt put no other tabacco in my joints. I prefer blunts tho

thats not true....my old roomate used to have several hookahs from when he lived in israel, and we would put weed in em all the time, all you have to do is mix it good with the tobacco, not just sit it on top, as long as it gets the same molasses coating as the tobacco and mix it up evenly in the bowl the weed burns for as long as whatever else is in there......i must sound like a hypocrite, but i used to smoke hookahs with weed for about a year when i lived with my old roommate....we called weed + hookah tobacco = the remix.....i havent done that for a few years though, ever since i stopped my other tobacco smoking

I own a couple of Hookah/Narguileh and I sometimes mix too. What I find works great is to chop up the buds (grinding is too fine) and let them sit in honey (overnight if possible). They you mix it well with the flavoured tobacco, put a thin layer of just tobacco ontop and then your coal (if you use foil, no need even for the top layer). It's really nice and gives you a very mellow evening.

I like my coffee black. I like my whiskey neat. I like my weed by itself (glass bowls). Now, that doesn't answer why Americans roll all weed joints. The ever-present taboo of marijuana in the states could be a reason. Since the thirties, the US, namely WR Hearst forced propaganda down America's throats. I think that that spawned a lasting taboo, and in a way turned weed into, for lack of a better word, Martyrjuana. It brings back an image of my younger days, beneath a bridge, hastily, nervously smoking a joint with my middle school friends. We felt like rebels, we felt cool, and it felt illegal. The point is, in America, we don't (unfortunately) think about weed in such a casual sense, early on. And that may be why we smoke weed as is, and not mixed with a leisurely-smoked plant like tobacco. That's my two cents, spend em however you like. -J

When I was in London, they all smoked spliffs (tobacco and pot) because the weed was fucking wet and wouldn't light on its own.

Wet weed is a crime.
Weed should be dried at the very least and if possible, cured.
The simplest curing is storing the dried weed for 3-4 months. It'll taste much better.
The only real reason for wet weed is to rip people off by selling them water weight.

Why do I smoke weed on it's own? Because I smoke really great weed that has fuckin flavor and why dirty it up with tobacco. That's blasphemy.

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.
