Using cigarettes in joints?

Discussion in 'Medical Cannabis: Treatments & Patient Experiences' started by PhazeTwo, Mar 13, 2007.

  1. Hi all, first post here.

    Just wondering what the health aspect of using cigarettes in joints is?

    I've been told it's not as bad as using pure cannabis due to the fact that it dosen't have to burn at a higher temperature?

    I don't smoke that often - perhaps 3 joints a week.

    Curious to know the risk of lung cancer etc from the cigarette side of things?

    Cheers!
     
  2. Smoking with tobacco is, I believe more harmful than without, but if your only smoking a few J's a week, I cant say as its a major health concern in my opinion anyway, if your really worried about health, try a vaporizer.
     
  3. Yeah, thats what i'm thinking. A few J's a week can't be doing that much damage. All about moderation.

    Haven't got the funds for a vapourizer and in my opinion, nothing beats relaxing with a J on the go! Might purchase one of the vapourizer pipes though, they''re only £10 or so over here.
     
  4. they dont work really, u need a electric one to fully extract the fumes, the cheapo glass ones kinda waste some of the greens pertentual imh.
     
  5. never used a vaporizer, but I mix tobacco from my black n milds with my blunts..makes them nice n fat, and it gives it extra flavor too! it doesnt really do much more than that, besides cuts back on how much weed u need to put in there to fill it up, cuts back on the cost.
     
  6. If you're worried about the health aspect, use straight weed. Tobacco is harmful and to me useless.
     
  7. Don't even get into tobacco dude...I'm an addict of the tobacco company. It's horrible. Seriously.
     
  8. from what i've experienced putting a lil bit of tobacco into your j or blunt can be nice and it can be bad. for instance.. if someone rolles one up with tobacco for me it should be about 70 weed 30 tobacco otherwise i get a really sick headchange and it isn't very nice. but if the bud is really really good then you can use a lil less weed so it would be more like 60 40. whatever the case may be adding tobacco to your smoke will be probably be more harmful because it may change your habits and also it comes with a brutal sore throat as well. i dunno what the health is but yeah
     

  9. i agree 100%. fucking ciggs ought to be illegal and not weed. tobacco companys are true evil.
     
  10. oh yea, and i smoke cigs too. so i'm a hypocrite i guess.
     
  11. I've been toking for about 3 years and have never smoked a straight cigarette so I doubt i'm going to start now.

    Also when I do smoke J's it's about 70% weed and 30% tobacco, just put it in to make it burn a bit better and make my weed last longer really.

    Cheers for the replies!

    :smoking:
     
  12. Yeah, dude. It's weird because... I don't even know. It's not like I NEED a cigarette. I mean, if I don't have a pack, whatever. I can wait a day or two. But when I walk into a gas station and have 3 bucks on me. I just get a pack. And then smoke..........as I'm smoking now..... sigh =\
     
  13. Ya man, screw tobacco. I mean...its like...why? I'm partially addicted and there is absolutely no redeeming value in tobacco. I guess if your gonna use tobacco buy good tasting tobacco, maybe some bali shag. :smoking:
     
  14. a little pinch of cig in a joint is nice. burns well, no drag :D
     
  15. A jay won't reach its full potential unless you put tobacco in it. Without tobacco they run, they're harder to roll, they burn too fast, and you lose alot of smoke.

    Tobacco as a plant just burns more evenly and better than weed, its like the glue that holds a jay together. It helps the weed do its job better.

    And a few a week won't do anything. A few cigarettes a week wouldn't do anything. But get yourself some nice rolling tobacco, cigarette tobacco is just nasty. Sometimes I roll blueberry tobacco with blueberry kush in a blueberry paper.

    Delicious. :smoking:
     
  16. Ive got to admit that sounds like it would be the best tasting j ever.
     
  17. this is what iv been told by my doctor...."pot smoke is so harsh with tar that after it builds up in your lungs it starts to kill itself off. while ciggs just kill you all together. There has been nothing proven yet that mj causes any kind of cancer or lung problem
     
  18. nothing like a pure skunk joint though, tobacco gives me too much of a rush, we call it a backy rush where I am, if your going to put some in, dont put to much in, or use an alternative smoking product to mix with your weed, more healthier than tobacco.
     
  19. i think there will be a slight health risk but nothing that could probly kill you or harm you bad over the years.

    but hey im not a doctor.

    and i was just thinking about this when you take to big of a hit of like a tobacco you start to cough. and a big hit off tobacco is a small one compared to bud. so wouldn't you just be coughing the whole time because you take big hits off the bud? i have never used tobacco in my jays so i wouldn't know.
     

  20. i like this, this is how i feel put into words
    are most people here in the uk or us
    is smokin with baky catchin on in us
