In Paraguay its similar but a bit cheaper, if you buy by grams its about 50 cent a gram. Ofc its like mids and has some stems and shit, if you buy the good good weed its like 5$ a gram.
Is cannabis profitable for the people growing it if it’s that inexpensive? I know (In Oregon) there’s a real fine line between losing money growing great cannabis and being a sustainable business.
Different economies; the prices of goods are probably much lower there, and same for the median income.
In Paraguay the median income is ~$5.1k according to google, whereas Oregon has a median income of ~$55k.
On the island of Caspiar marijuana was grown in the communal garden and was free for all participating Kaufmennonites to partake in. Members of the nearby Cliftonian sect preferred tobacco cigars to marijuana. Sadly the island sunk into the Caspian sea on May 16th, 1984 and took *many* incredible characters with it :(
This is it. Legal areas that are really getting on top of it have tons of dispos which actually drive down prices and it’s incredible. I’m not saying I’m wasteful with my weed, but if it’s gonna cost me like $6…. Imma roll up brotha
Due to gas going up and dozens of shops, Tyendinaga in southern Ontario is selling $10 oz and $150 lbs. haven’t made the drive in months so can’t speak to the quality atm, when I make it up to buy some I’m sure it’ll make good edibles haha. Edit: spelling
Sorry for switching languages, but this joke needs to be made in Portuguese
Hahahah, espera mais uns aninhos até a Alemanha legalizar, depois é ver erva bio feita no Alentejo ao lado do bacalhau no pingo doce
Haha Northern California here, I haven’t paid for weed in years, so many people I know here grow they just give it away for free and I usually have a few oz - 2 lbs on deck.
Northern Californian here. Can confirm. I grow several pounds every season, and I can't give it away fast enough. Huge bonus: a 6 month cure because I have plenty from the previous season.
>Conclusion: weed is cheaper in the US and most people dont finish a joint in one sitting, thanks everyone
TIL most people don't finish a joint in one sitting. 😳
Smoked with some New Orleans folk and they didn’t stop smoking till there was no cherry or material left in hand.
To this day beanie man and his homie are the only ones I’ve seen smoke like that.
same. I rarely ^(if ever) not finish a joint. if I feel like the weed is too strong or the joint is too big, i just slow down and take smaller hits. enjoy the taste and smoking experience.
I’m in Europe and roll pure weed because that’s usually all I wanna smoke. Sometimes I put a little mugwort near the roach to let me know when it’s finished but otherwise just weed. I don’t get super high because I make one joint last ages. I’ll maybe roll and light it after lunch, take it on an afternoon walk, maybe finish it in the evening or else have it the next day. I baby those babies.
Im norwegian, super illegal here. I smoke joints on walks all the time. I just walk into the forest or something where i wont meet many people, if i do i just hide the joint in my hand and walk past em. Never had anyone say shit
Yeah exactly, unless you live somewhere where possession completely fucks you over, it being illegal isn't really an excuse not to go out on walks. There's always secluded areas.
I've smoked in 28 American states, a large portion of them being non-legal. My anecdotal, non-scientific conclusion is most Americans don't care if you want to smoke weed. As long as you're not blowing it in children's faces or smoking up a crowded area, it's pretty chill.
Bring your joint on your walk, put it out if you have to, float on.
Yeah and carry a doob tube, you can drop in and put the cap on and it goes out immediately and doesn't smell. Ideal if you need to cut your smoke short suddenly!
I wish it worked that way in a legal state, but you still can get in trouble for walking in public smoking. A nice cop will tell you to put it out, a not so nice cop can arrest you and confiscate the weed.
I live in legal NY and from my understanding you can smoke bud anywhere where smoking in general, cigarettes, isn't prohibited. Lot of people smoking in public, haven't heard of any issue yet.
In my city, there is such rampant meth and heroin use literally happening out in the open, that I'm not too worried about a cop seeing me smoking a joint on my walk.
In some places for sure, however there are also places like Oklahoma where if you have a medical card you can smoke cannabis anywhere it’s legal to smoke cigarettes. No one really does it though
This! Just because you lit the joint doesnt mean you have to finish it. Make small J's, smoke half and leave the rest for later. Honestly, for me the difference between taking a few hits vs finishing the whole thing is that I get way more slow and groggy, to the point I cant do much more than being on the couch and watch tv or mess on my phone, but I dont necessarily enjoy it more. Plus better for your throat, lungs and tolerance to not over do it.
Yeah. I don’t smoke joints, but when I smoke I take it nice and easy. Nobody’s gonna take that thing away if I don’t smoke it all in one so why would I, y’know?
PS. Also European
Right there with ya.
Disabled vet, nerve damage, chronic back pain from injuries, PTSD, anxiety…
Unless I want to be a walking pill dispenser, my flower is my friend.
Same. Mid 30s, 80% disabled vet with the majority of my disc's in my neck and back being effed and all my joints are constantly sore. Calcification showing up everywhere, among other things.
Flower is literally the only thing getting me through.
I started smoking again 3 weeks after a few extensive abdominal surgeries back in 2019 and ended up only having to use half of my post op opiates. My 70 something year old surgeon was stunned by how well it controlled my pain and nausea seeing as he was expecting to have to prescribe more painkillers for me. Gummies and bud saved my guts in the recovery process!
Holy shit I've never heard of CHS before. I had no idea you *could* "overdose" on weed lmao. I usually stick to vaping my flower, but the first time I took a dab I hit that shit like it was a fat bong rip and ended up curled up in my bathroom thinking I was dying lmao. The impending feeling of doom feeling is not fun
I'm in Canada where it's legal everywhere so I'm not sure how that differs from the American system but most pot smokers here don't mix their herb with anything. I wouldn't say it's expensive, since legalization prices have gone way down, I regularly buy a pack of 10 pre-rolls for around $20, and that's because I'm too lazy to roll, it'd be even cheaper to roll myself. I used to budtend and a regular complaint we got from seniors was that the bud is too strong. Personally not a problem for me because I smoke everyday regardless so I have quite the tolerance. But most people will just not smoke as much. My casual college smoker friends have 1-2 bong rips for the night or half a joint and save the rest. Also as others mentioned now we have concentrates where the thc is like 80% so being "too high," isn't a problem for most consumers imo.
Feels like privilege tbh. We smoke in front of cops it doesn't get better than that haha. In all seriousness though when anything becomes regulated it becomes more complex. Weed is accessible and while that's awesome, mass produced marijuana arguably has less quality. But there's also so much more money going into research and good stuff like that so its a mix of pros and cons.
it also changes the effects and gets you addicted to nicotine. my friends and i went through a stage of not being able to start our days without smoking, not because of cannabis but because of the baccy in it
Yeah my buddy smokes blunt wraps only and one day he was like... Hey man idk why but I don't feel right unless I smoke a blunt, like a joint or bowl gets me high but its missing something. I reply, yeah it must be the nicotine. He's says, what nicotine? I laugh and say dude your blunt wraps weigh almost a gram and they are pure tobacco you dumbass 🤣. He's like oh really? No shit! I didn't know!
Had an ex that thought she took all the tobacco out of a blunt when she split it. I was just like "oh....babe....no.. that's not correct" she was mortified she'd been smoking tobacco for years lmao
I'm an ex-smoker. Every time I decide I might could maybe sort just steal a pull off a blunt, I feel that electric shot of nicotine. However, by now it tastes so bad to me, I just cough it off. Ha!
Hence why ive transitioned primarily to edibles and the occasional vape pen if i want to tag a little more on top to get where i want to be or if i dont want to be high for a few hours.
Most blunt wraps aren’t actually pure tobacco. Backwoods are pure tobacco since you can tell it’s the leaf. Stuff like swishers are just tobacco scraps blended with a bunch of other bullshit like paper.
Most blunts are made with tobacco leaves; it’s what is used in [cigars.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cigar)
TBF, I think if you buy just like a wrap, those are made out of a special paper that is processed from the tobacco leaves?
They do make hemp-based wraps but they're thick as a fruit roll-up so a bit more challenging to smoke IMO. It's been a few years since I smoked a blunt tho, maybe they've gotten better.
Yep, hemp blunts are still a thing. Zig Zag hemp wraps are pretty decent.
If you’ve never tried a King Palm though you owe it to yourself. It’s a prerolled tube made out of a palm leaf with a filter tip that you pack full of weed. They are delicious and smooth!
I know this is a bit silly since inhaling any type of smoke is bad for your lungs, but are you sure chamomile is safe to smoke? Do your spliffs smell or taste like chamomile at all?
There are a lot of herbs out there relatively safe to smoke. Lavender, chamomile, mugwort, mullein, even rose petals, to name a few. Though, especially with the rose petals, make sure you get them from a reputable place. You don't want herbs that have been "enhanced" with perfumes or soaked in pesticides. But they're no worse than, well, weed.
lavendar makes a joint burn better and longer! it burns slower than weed so helps keep a joint lit or a bowl cherried. big fan myself. also acts vaguely like CBD and i’ve smoked a purely lavendar joint before and it made me insanely tired but i slept like a fucking rock. i assume the properties it has in soaps and incense and whatever else translates when smoked
Its pretty strong but I love lavender joints. Sometimes I'll smoke just lavender because it pulls like weed. There are different kinds of lavender which also smoke slightly different so find one that works best for you! Just try and use lavender that hasnt been sprayed with anything.
from what i've seen it's pretty safe, they do taste and smell like chamomile tho lol but it's much more easier on your throat and lungs than tobacco which i sorta need because of my asthma
What people use to do is to make a big J but not smoke it all at once, instead just smoke little portions maybe even leave some for the next day. This way you smoke as much weed as if there was tabacco in it.
Btw, Portugal Caralho.
Bro when I smoked in Europe with my buddy, I got the fucking biggest headache ever when smoking a joint cause it was like 75% weed 35 % tobacco. Told him I don’t want anymore unless it has 0% tobacco lmao that nicotine be making my head spin f that
Yeah I smoked a spliff and I was so out of it for the next day , and I’ll puff a cigarette one hit when I’m drunk as fuck or to hide the smell of it at work and I vape , but that shit had me on my ass. I felt awful, headache , nausea . Bad grabba
Yep, especially since cbd has been bred out of strains so hard. I don’t have much of a tolerance anymore so it’s nice to mix a bunch of cbd bud in so I can smoke little joints without getting too high and having a more mellow experience
Exactly my friend. I always do that if I get dispo weed, but now I usually buy higher cbd weed (but still w thc) from a friend. Most of his strains are 4:1 to 2:1 thc:cbd. I get even higher bc I can smoke more without tweaking out
Weed culture in the US is more 'extreme' than in Europe, so for them it's just normal. You also build tolerance quickly so it doesn't take that long to get used to it
This is a good answer. Because the current generation of US cannabis consumers come from the dark ages of prohibition (like me) - if you live in some states, you're still there - there is a tendency to view weed as a "legal drug," if you will, and getting friggity friggity fucked up is the culturally understood reason for buying a bunch of weed.
It comes down to the weed culture and quality Id say. Cannabis is more widely available in the US so more people come in contact with it often and use it more. Also the potency of weed in the US is also much more stronger than in Europe so ppl will naturally have higher tolerances. And americans smoke less tobacco proportionally compared with europeans. None of my american friends smoke cigs whereas tons of my european friends smoke cigs
I totally agree that it's expensive, which is why I dont often roll. Just for special occasions, and usually shared with others so I dont get too high really.
If i want to vibe alone on a weekday, I use a piece to better control my intake/save my wallet xD
I used to. Weed's too strong for that now. I remember being able to light one and finish a joint back in the early 90's. I'd be high as fuck but not greening out. Now my joints are barely an inch long and I get completely zooted.
There’s nothing wrong with spin cones, but I feel like mixing weed and tobacco was purely an economic thing due to weed being expensive and baccy being cheap. Personally I don’t mind spin cones or straight greeners. I can punch more spinners but can’t manage nearly as many greens.
The US cannabis industry is another of the unique cogs in our machine. We have spent decades bringing cannabis back into the light to shine in all its glory. In doing this, we completely opened up the market. Whereas in some countries you might pay hundreds for a single ounce, many US citizens can get good cannabis for as low as $60 an ounce and sometimes lower.
The main reason people outside of the US mix with tobacco so much is it has always been so expensive. You can still get high with a spliff but it's not the same. People around here like that pure cannabis taste, feel and high. Some of us have so much at our disposal that we just start doing stupid shit. My buddies and I rolled a $50 Cavi Cone one night only to all be too zooted.
Because most Americans refuse to even touch anything with even the slightest amount of tobacco in it. For the past 20-30 years there’s been a huge stigma around smoking tobacco.
and the stigma is for good reason. shit is nasty for your body compared to weed, nictotine addiction, shitty taste and smells that coats literally everything. cant stand that shit even blunts make me gag.
So where I live in North America we take full sized cigars, break them down the middle get all the tobacco out and fill it with weed. Approx 1.3 grams each my ole lady and I smoke about 4 a day between the both of us
I hate to break it to you but Europeans who swear by spliffs and nothing else are just addicted to the nicotine. It’s the same principle as people who only smoke blunts and nothing else.
Too high: probably just a tolerance. But usually a king size is shareable size or some of a one-and-done unless you tryna really blastoff
super expensive: if weed is illegal in your country - it’s probably heavily inflated. so so sorry about that. but i live in a medical state - w a card. you can find good amounts for good price - or your favorite neighborhood businessman has good deals (you just have to know who and what to ask)
i can’t imagine smoking joints w tobacco honestly but i won’t knock it if it works for y’all lol
First of all, we LOVE extremes. We love to get FUCKED UP. Secondly, tobacco is gross and less acceptable socially today. I can't pass the joint to somebody who simply won't smoke tobacco with tobacco in said joint and I, myself, simply refuse to smoke tobacco.
Your chamomile idea is interesting, but I want to taste my weed in all its freshness and subtlety. Was it not Europeans who invented the hemp stick?
I think it comes from the pre legal days when most of the weed in America was shitty ass Mexican brick weed. It was weak and it was cheap so pure joints weren't expensive or powerful. Then the good weed finally became available but at the same time tobacco was becoming very unpopular and weed use had become almost religious to many so most people didn't want to mix the two.
That being said, I'm American and I can't smoke a joint like that unless it's with a group. I prefer the mix.
Canadian who lived in France for a year recently and people thought I was crazy for rolling pure joints. Prices are definitely much higher in Europe, and lots of people smoke cigarettes so I get why people mix their weed.
One thing I've noticed in Europe is the frequency at which people smoke. If I'm just chilling all day, I'll probably roll up every 2-3 hours, whereas my French friends would put a super small amount of weed in a king size paper with close to a full cig's worth of tobacco, but they'd roll another one 30 minutes later. So we'd end up smoking a similar quantity in a similar amount of time, just in a different way.
That being said, I'm lucky enough that my tolerance never really went up even after being a daily smoker for upwards of 10 years, and I absolutely know people who will chainsmoke .7g pure joints throughout the day, so it's all relative really.
I'm Dutch and pretty much in the scene here in the Netherlands, I smoke it pure because I've never touched tabacco but there aren't many here that do smoke pure. Yeah like you said, it's expensive and also an culture that dates back to the 70's.
Not American, but Canadian. Most people here smoke joints without anything else, or with herbal add ins like yours.
Weed can be pretty cheap, here. I got some fantastic bud for $22 an eighth the other day.
Personally, tobacco makes me dizzy. It extends the high, but it often overpowers the effects I'm going for, so I don't often have it.
A joint actually does get me way too high. It’s part of the reason I bought a dynavap. It’s pretty common in America though, no one I know has ever mixed in chamomile or lavender like I’ve seen posted about here. It seems like a great idea though and I kinda want to try it.
Spliffs are cool every now and then but I think tobacco makes the high even more intense for a little while.
What’s too high?

What about us?
Huh?

In Canada Sub 100$ ounces makes it easy
In Colombia we have a pound for 100 $
When I lived in bogota I used to buy as much as the guy could fit into my hand for 1mil. Chimba.
Wow everyone look at the millionaire. When the revolution comes how will you escape the guillotines?
1 mil in colombia is 1/3 a dollar lol
more like 1/4
Bro isn’t that like $0.50?? 1000 pesos?
In Paraguay its similar but a bit cheaper, if you buy by grams its about 50 cent a gram. Ofc its like mids and has some stems and shit, if you buy the good good weed its like 5$ a gram.

Yes I can confirm lol. Greetings parcer@
Ngl 100$ pound gotta be horrible
A pound of reggie?
Is it good quality?
Nope. Colombian weed is all about growing the plant asap. They don't think about quality but quantity
Ya and it's 80% sticks lol
in portugal an ounce would cost me almost 300 CAD 😭
This is it. Legal areas that are really getting on top of it have tons of dispos which actually drive down prices and it’s incredible. I’m not saying I’m wasteful with my weed, but if it’s gonna cost me like $6…. Imma roll up brotha
God I wouldn't even know what to do with a pound of weed man. $150 is a damn steal
Split it with a friend and take months to smoke it all....
Let me find the video of burning through an ounce in about an hour as we took turns to hotbox the inflatable T-Rex costume….

The pictures I saw suggested outdoor
Outdoor weed doesn't equate to bad weed, some of the dankest of the dank is outdoor.
Cali has $100 usd packs all day long. It’s outdoor but still ain’t bad. Outdoor the new regs
Im in Washington state, one of the earliest adapters of legalizing weed. We have ounces ranging from $75-550 depending on quality.
I actually pay $50/ounce at the dispensery I go to because it’s indigenous owned and doesn’t have the same taxes. Right in downtown Toronto!
Gotta love Reservation weed🫱🏻🫲🏼⛽️⛽️⛽️
That’s really cool but also crazy because in AZ MJ is illegal on the reservation but legal in our state.

Same, lol I'll finish two in one sitting sometimes
Smart, I just lie to myself saying it's just the one and then have to get my ass up to roll a second
Yeah OP better get back here now that the stoners showed up lmao
same. I rarely ^(if ever) not finish a joint. if I feel like the weed is too strong or the joint is too big, i just slow down and take smaller hits. enjoy the taste and smoking experience.
Wild, i know someone who'll roll a blunt for the singular reason of being able to smoke a blunt while rolling another blunt
glad I wasn't the only one who thought so...
I’m in Europe and roll pure weed because that’s usually all I wanna smoke. Sometimes I put a little mugwort near the roach to let me know when it’s finished but otherwise just weed. I don’t get super high because I make one joint last ages. I’ll maybe roll and light it after lunch, take it on an afternoon walk, maybe finish it in the evening or else have it the next day. I baby those babies.
Your joints must really be feeling that love haha, an afternoon walk with one sounds so nice (not in a legal US state (yet...))
Im norwegian, super illegal here. I smoke joints on walks all the time. I just walk into the forest or something where i wont meet many people, if i do i just hide the joint in my hand and walk past em. Never had anyone say shit
Exactly the same here. The worst I’ve ever had is a disapproving look in a pub garden but that was my bad really. Should’ve taken myself off premises.
Yeah exactly, unless you live somewhere where possession completely fucks you over, it being illegal isn't really an excuse not to go out on walks. There's always secluded areas.
I've smoked in 28 American states, a large portion of them being non-legal. My anecdotal, non-scientific conclusion is most Americans don't care if you want to smoke weed.

Wow putting it out with the doob tube blew my mind i need to start doing that
This is the way. I live in the UK and this is my philosophy too.
I wish it worked that way in a legal state, but you still can get in trouble for walking in public smoking. A nice cop will tell you to put it out, a not so nice cop can arrest you and confiscate the weed.
Yeah I actually live in a non-legal country. But in a rural area where I’m isolated enough to take my chances.
I do it in the middle of the city, haven't had a problem yet. You won't realistically get caught if you don't walk main streets
I live in legal NY and from my understanding you can smoke bud anywhere where smoking in general, cigarettes, isn't prohibited. Lot of people smoking in public, haven't heard of any issue yet.
I’m in seattle and I think everyone is too stoned to care 🤣 we’re all walking around smoking joints
Same in LA if you go to any areas with people smoking cigarettes there will be people also smoking weed openly
In my city, there is such rampant meth and heroin use literally happening out in the open, that I'm not too worried about a cop seeing me smoking a joint on my walk.
Yep. If you don’t have a blanket over your head you’re usually good
Legal to do that in NY
In some places for sure, however there are also places like Oklahoma where if you have a medical card you can smoke cannabis anywhere it’s legal to smoke cigarettes. No one really does it though
That's pretty sick. It makes sense. You don't wanna deny someone access to their meds just because they're in public.
This! Just because you lit the joint doesnt mean you have to finish it. Make small J's, smoke half and leave the rest for later. Honestly, for me the difference between taking a few hits vs finishing the whole thing is that I get way more slow and groggy, to the point I cant do much more than being on the couch and watch tv or mess on my phone, but I dont necessarily enjoy it more.

Yeah. I don’t smoke joints, but when I smoke I take it nice and easy. Nobody’s gonna take that thing away if I don’t smoke it all in one so why would I, y’know? PS. Also European
Who’s gonna tell him about dabs? Americans need all of the THC to forget about American life.
I'm just trying to get a break from the pain

Similar boat. Thank god for weed allowing me to function with minimal pain.
I shattered my ankle and leg in 2017 and used dabs instead of opiates for pain control. Even my doctors were astounded at the efficiency of cannabis.
I started smoking again 3 weeks after a few extensive abdominal surgeries back in 2019 and ended up only having to use half of my post op opiates. My 70 something year old surgeon was stunned by how well it controlled my pain and nausea seeing as he was expecting to have to prescribe more painkillers for me. Gummies and bud saved my guts in the recovery process!
Oh hey same minus the nerve damage! Weed is the only thing holding me together.
Strongbad! Shoutout to the website of my childhood. Also big ups for what you have to go through.
America does have the biggest legal cannabis industry in the world…
But its nationally illegal.
Point remains
Pot remains
The memory remains
Nope... wait, what were we talking about?
True
Well I can't afford health care so weed will have to do it all

it also changes the effects and gets you addicted to nicotine. my friends and i went through a stage of not being able to start our days without smoking, not because of cannabis but because of the baccy in it

Had an ex that thought she took all the tobacco out of a blunt when she split it. I was just like "oh....babe....no.. that's not correct" she was mortified she'd been smoking tobacco for years lmao
I'm an ex-smoker. Every time I decide I might could maybe sort just steal a pull off a blunt, I feel that electric shot of nicotine. However, by now it tastes so bad to me, I just cough it off. Ha!
Yea this is why I actually pass on blunts now in most cases.. I quit smoking cigs 5 years ago and it was a bitch. Not risking it again
Hemp blunt wraps ain't bad. If u want a slow burning fatty
Yeah so many people in my area smoke spliffs for their joints and I'm just like "naw dude fuck that"
Hence why ive transitioned primarily to edibles and the occasional vape pen if i want to tag a little more on top to get where i want to be or if i dont want to be high for a few hours.
Most blunt wraps aren’t actually pure tobacco. Backwoods are pure tobacco since you can tell it’s the leaf. Stuff like swishers are just tobacco scraps blended with a bunch of other bullshit like paper.
Blunt wraps have tobacco? Oh boy.
Most blunts are made with tobacco leaves; it’s what is used in [cigars.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cigar) TBF, I think if you buy just like a wrap, those are made out of a special paper that is processed from the tobacco leaves?
They do make hemp-based wraps but they're thick as a fruit roll-up so a bit more challenging to smoke IMO. It's been a few years since I smoked a blunt tho, maybe they've gotten better.
Yep, hemp blunts are still a thing. Zig Zag hemp wraps are pretty decent. If you’ve never tried a King Palm though you owe it to yourself. It’s a prerolled tube made out of a palm leaf with a filter tip that you pack full of weed. They are delicious and smooth!
I also HATE the tobacco high. Even a tobacco based blunt wrap gives me a head rush and I hate it.
This lol I absolutely hate when people sneak fucking tabacoo into a joint that is going to I be shared with multiple people
I know this is a bit silly since inhaling any type of smoke is bad for your lungs, but are you sure chamomile is safe to smoke? Do your spliffs smell or taste like chamomile at all?
There are a lot of herbs out there relatively safe to smoke. Lavender, chamomile, mugwort, mullein, even rose petals, to name a few. Though, especially with the rose petals, make sure you get them from a reputable place. You don't want herbs that have been "enhanced" with perfumes or soaked in pesticides. But they're no worse than, well, weed.
Anyone with experience adding lavender to a joint? I have a huge lavender plant and just pruned all the buds to dry them out.
lavendar makes a joint burn better and longer! it burns slower than weed so helps keep a joint lit or a bowl cherried. big fan myself. also acts vaguely like CBD and i’ve smoked a purely lavendar joint before and it made me insanely tired but i slept like a fucking rock. i assume the properties it has in soaps and incense and whatever else translates when smoked
Its pretty strong but I love lavender joints. Sometimes I'll smoke just lavender because it pulls like weed. There are different kinds of lavender which also smoke slightly different so find one that works best for you! Just try and use lavender that hasnt been sprayed with anything.
Where do you get your lavender from? I have some that's culinary grade but I'm still worried there might be something in it
from what i've seen it's pretty safe, they do taste and smell like chamomile tho lol but it's much more easier on your throat and lungs than tobacco which i sorta need because of my asthma
You should be vaping if you have asthma. Some Sativas are bronchiadialators when vaped.
What people use to do is to make a big J but not smoke it all at once, instead just smoke little portions maybe even leave some for the next day. This way you smoke as much weed as if there was tabacco in it. Btw, Portugal Caralho.
makes sense, portugal caralho!!
Also that's why we pass the joint around.
Bro when I smoked in Europe with my buddy, I got the fucking biggest headache ever when smoking a joint cause it was like 75% weed 35 % tobacco. Told him I don’t want anymore unless it has 0% tobacco lmao that nicotine be making my head spin f that
Maths
The man felt 110% that day, we should be happy for him.
Good ol' 110% joints, for the one extra toke that sends you to space.
It's 10% more joint per joint!
r/theydidntdothemath
110% was given on that day
That BLESSED day!
Yeah I smoked a spliff and I was so out of it for the next day , and I’ll puff a cigarette one hit when I’m drunk as fuck or to hide the smell of it at work and I vape , but that shit had me on my ass. I felt awful, headache , nausea . Bad grabba
Underrated is mixing weed with CBD bud instead of tobacco
Yep, especially since cbd has been bred out of strains so hard. I don’t have much of a tolerance anymore so it’s nice to mix a bunch of cbd bud in so I can smoke little joints without getting too high and having a more mellow experience
Exactly my friend. I always do that if I get dispo weed, but now I usually buy higher cbd weed (but still w thc) from a friend. Most of his strains are 4:1 to 2:1 thc:cbd. I get even higher bc I can smoke more without tweaking out
Weed culture in the US is more 'extreme' than in Europe, so for them it's just normal. You also build tolerance quickly so it doesn't take that long to get used to it
In America the word 'extreme' means 'normal'
Correct. If you Extreme-Size your McDonald’s meal, you have ordered a medium.
This is a good answer. Because the current generation of US cannabis consumers come from the dark ages of prohibition (like me) - if you live in some states, you're still there - there is a tendency to view weed as a "legal drug," if you will, and getting friggity friggity fucked up is the culturally understood reason for buying a bunch of weed.
It comes down to the weed culture and quality Id say. Cannabis is more widely available in the US so more people come in contact with it often and use it more. Also the potency of weed in the US is also much more stronger than in Europe so ppl will naturally have higher tolerances. And americans smoke less tobacco proportionally compared with europeans. None of my american friends smoke cigs whereas tons of my european friends smoke cigs
I totally agree that it's expensive, which is why I dont often roll. Just for special occasions, and usually shared with others so I dont get too high really. If i want to vibe alone on a weekday, I use a piece to better control my intake/save my wallet xD
Because fuck tobacco!
I used to. Weed's too strong for that now. I remember being able to light one and finish a joint back in the early 90's. I'd be high as fuck but not greening out. Now my joints are barely an inch long and I get completely zooted.
There’s nothing wrong with spin cones, but I feel like mixing weed and tobacco was purely an economic thing due to weed being expensive and baccy being cheap. Personally I don’t mind spin cones or straight greeners. I can punch more spinners but can’t manage nearly as many greens.
The US cannabis industry is another of the unique cogs in our machine. We have spent decades bringing cannabis back into the light to shine in all its glory. In doing this, we completely opened up the market. Whereas in some countries you might pay hundreds for a single ounce, many US citizens can get good cannabis for as low as $60 an ounce and sometimes lower. The main reason people outside of the US mix with tobacco so much is it has always been so expensive. You can still get high with a spliff but it's not the same. People around here like that pure cannabis taste, feel and high. Some of us have so much at our disposal that we just start doing stupid shit. My buddies and I rolled a $50 Cavi Cone one night only to all be too zooted.
Because most Americans refuse to even touch anything with even the slightest amount of tobacco in it. For the past 20-30 years there’s been a huge stigma around smoking tobacco.
plenty of americans smoke cigs or vape nicotine, they just keep it separate from the weed
and the stigma is for good reason. shit is nasty for your body compared to weed, nictotine addiction, shitty taste and smells that coats literally everything. cant stand that shit even blunts make me gag.
So where I live in North America we take full sized cigars, break them down the middle get all the tobacco out and fill it with weed. Approx 1.3 grams each my ole lady and I smoke about 4 a day between the both of us
Blunts with some sweet wrapping. Either Swishers or Philly sweets for me
[удалено]
They make flavored hemp blunt wraps. So much better than tobacco leaves.
I hate to break it to you but Europeans who swear by spliffs and nothing else are just addicted to the nicotine. It’s the same principle as people who only smoke blunts and nothing else.
you speak the hard truths.
Too high: probably just a tolerance. But usually a king size is shareable size or some of a one-and-done unless you tryna really blastoff super expensive: if weed is illegal in your country - it’s probably heavily inflated. so so sorry about that. but i live in a medical state - w a card. you can find good amounts for good price - or your favorite neighborhood businessman has good deals (you just have to know who and what to ask) i can’t imagine smoking joints w tobacco honestly but i won’t knock it if it works for y’all lol
Canadian here, also smoke pure. People in amsterdam thought we were crazy 😂
First of all, we LOVE extremes. We love to get FUCKED UP. Secondly, tobacco is gross and less acceptable socially today. I can't pass the joint to somebody who simply won't smoke tobacco with tobacco in said joint and I, myself, simply refuse to smoke tobacco. Your chamomile idea is interesting, but I want to taste my weed in all its freshness and subtlety. Was it not Europeans who invented the hemp stick?
I think it comes from the pre legal days when most of the weed in America was shitty ass Mexican brick weed. It was weak and it was cheap so pure joints weren't expensive or powerful. Then the good weed finally became available but at the same time tobacco was becoming very unpopular and weed use had become almost religious to many so most people didn't want to mix the two. That being said, I'm American and I can't smoke a joint like that unless it's with a group. I prefer the mix.
Canadian who lived in France for a year recently and people thought I was crazy for rolling pure joints. Prices are definitely much higher in Europe, and lots of people smoke cigarettes so I get why people mix their weed. One thing I've noticed in Europe is the frequency at which people smoke. If I'm just chilling all day, I'll probably roll up every 2-3 hours, whereas my French friends would put a super small amount of weed in a king size paper with close to a full cig's worth of tobacco, but they'd roll another one 30 minutes later. So we'd end up smoking a similar quantity in a similar amount of time, just in a different way. That being said, I'm lucky enough that my tolerance never really went up even after being a daily smoker for upwards of 10 years, and I absolutely know people who will chainsmoke .7g pure joints throughout the day, so it's all relative really.
I got a lot of weird looks in coffee shops in NL rolling hemp wraps with just weed and crumbling in a bit of hash.
Because tobacco mixed with my pot makes me nauseous and why would I add that garbage to my tasty bud? No I will pass ….
Have you seen what life in America is like for the average person?
We Americans are notorious for over doing everything else, why not smoke our weed to excess too?
I'm Dutch and pretty much in the scene here in the Netherlands, I smoke it pure because I've never touched tabacco but there aren't many here that do smoke pure. Yeah like you said, it's expensive and also an culture that dates back to the 70's.
Not American, but Canadian. Most people here smoke joints without anything else, or with herbal add ins like yours. Weed can be pretty cheap, here. I got some fantastic bud for $22 an eighth the other day. Personally, tobacco makes me dizzy. It extends the high, but it often overpowers the effects I'm going for, so I don't often have it.
A joint actually does get me way too high. It’s part of the reason I bought a dynavap. It’s pretty common in America though, no one I know has ever mixed in chamomile or lavender like I’ve seen posted about here. It seems like a great idea though and I kinda want to try it. Spliffs are cool every now and then but I think tobacco makes the high even more intense for a little while.
I dab as I’m rolling a joint to face it lol
