    I feel like you’re misunderstanding.

    In the USA, which chances are the person you’re responding to is from given the population breakdowns, a Blunt is weed rolled in a cigar / tobacco wrap. A joint is weed rolled in a cigarette paper. We rarely roll tobacco in with our weed because why the fuck would we roll tobacco in with our weed??

    As far as I can tell the only place that typically rolls tobacco in with their weed is in the UK.

    Again, why the fuck would you roll tobacco and weed together? Gross.

      France here. We use tobacco or else it hits too hard and it’s too expensive. That may be wasting but dude I’ve been smoking a lot and pure weed joints from Amsterdam killed me several times, it’s just too much

        I always either rolled tiny ones (~1,5cm long) or just mixed it with some tea. Though now I have a vaporizer and ofc use that.

          Mixed it with tea as in you rolled tea leaves into your joint or drank some to soothe your throat? If the former, can you tell me more? I’d try that

            It’s the former. I wanted to try a joint filler that does not have nicotine nor bad smell. I had seen someone try smoking tea leaves with a pipe on youtube and decided to use that. Any tea is good as long as it is just leaves.

      Im with you on not contaminating weed with tobacco but around here (germany) most people would think of a joint as weed mixed with tobacco but maybe thats just not correct.

      But whatever, everyone just use your weed however u want :)

        What I am saying is I’d wager the bulk of the English speaking world equates a joint to weed in a rolling paper and not weed mixed with tobacco.

        Gross.

        That said you said it perfectly too, they called them “spliffs” and the rest of us are sad they didn’t have more weed available so they could avoid the spliff.

          I dunno sometimes people called them joints too but I’m usually too high to really get my undies in a knot over English words as there are too many. My mother tongue is far more efficient with words and would use the same word for both lol

      “I don’t like something personally so no-one else can either”

      I used to smoke cigarettes, I don’t anymore. I find the factory made ones a bit gross most times. But I understand not everyone does.

      And I still smoke tobacco, but never without weed, and I generally don’t smoke weed without tobacco. I enjoy how good tobacco smooths out the smoke a bit, and counterbalances heavy indicas as nicotine is a stimulant.

      Just like with alcohol, people sometimes enjoy their substance differently.

      I prefer smoking from a small-ish bong (more like a large water filtered pipe, I don’t take rips, I take large puffs), a 5050 strain of CBD/THC, with tobacco. This is because I smoke all day for medical reasons. Not all the time, but throughout the day. So I don’t want it to be too strong.

      The proper rips of heavy indica I save for the evening.

      You are right about what a blunt is, btw, just want to second that.
