Gotta wonder if the researchers were British?

I'll digress, I recently had my sister's 30 year old step son from England over for a visit. The topic of weed came up and he declared that he had given it up for good. Says he was addicted, was smoking 4-6 joints per day and noticed he was getting irritable at work in the afternoon, losing his temper, and the second he got home he had to have a joint, and it would immediately calm him down. Says he even started having a joint before going to work just to not go to work angry. He didn't like the ups and downs so he gave it up and suffered 3 days of intense withdrawals, mostly rage and irritability. No more cannabis for him he says...

Im looking at him like Willy Wonka at this point. Having lived in England for a while and knowing how ALL English people smoke their cannabis, I couldn't wait to ask him, Sam, did you roll your joints with half tobacco?

I knew the answer was yes, obviously. I said you do realize, the addiction you had, and the rage withdrawal was from the cigarettes you were smoking, not the weed right?

Whot? I don't think so mate... it was only 2 or 3 fags worth a day... he says.

When I told him I can go from an 8th of weed a day to nothing with zero withdrawal whatsoever, but quitting tobacco was harder than quitting a Coke addiction, I could literally see the brain cells arguing inside his head.

Saw the same thing on a BBC documentary about weed in the 90's when I was living there. Interviewed a guy who was deep in the grips of a Marijuana addiction and couldn't stop no matter how many times he tried to give it up. Video of him rolling a spliff with basically half a cigarette worth of tobacco in a huge paper and sprinkling about 1/4 gram of cannabis into it. WHY AM I SOOO ADDICTED TO WEEEED!!!????

Why do you think they call it dope? ;)


Although, it sounds like the dope wasn’t the weed, it was the one consuming it!

When I lived over there everyone put tobacco in their weed and thought I was insane for rolling it on its own. And hardly any of them smoked cigarettes, but they would always have 10 packs of smokes for rolling joints with. I wondered why they sold 10 packs in England, but then I understood where the demand came from lol.

Wild how most brits ive ever met who smoke or have smoked weed, don't put it together that the reason they're addicted to weed is because of the tobacco they roll it with.

They weren’t real smart with tea either.
 
The 50:50 weed/tobacco mix is so common in England that Guy Richie had it immortalized in his latest awful movie starring Charlie Hunnam.

I don’t know how or why they would do that. I couldn’t imagine taking a blunt of my PBB and basterizing it with tobacco. Fucking yuk

I heard Rogan say the same thing, he liked a little bit of tobacco in his weed to smooth it out and make it taste just right..........fkin gag me, tobacco makes me spin and start seeing through a tunnel before passing out....or hurling if I take a big hit. Been years and years but a hard no on tobacco for me.
 
lets see what i can get it for brb

They all say it's to make it burn better. Maybe their weed doesnt burn good? Dont know, all i ever smoked over there was mostly hash with tobacco, and a couple 50:50's of weed/tobacco that other people rolled.
Though the UK Cheese and Skunk was still dope even in a 5050, as a ciggy butt smoker anyways at the time.
 
looks like we got some options 🤣

At our age probably not good. I bet that shit would have a negative interaction with the half dozen heart meds I take everyday. You think? Lol

Freezeland; Your heart is in a good place there, probably just like the Timex 'takes a licking and keeps on ticking'.
 
My step daughter had a heart valve replaced and had to keep track of her blood pressure and heart beat speed. She had a small finger device to measure heart rate and she passed it around most folks were in the 70's & 80 beats per minute, mine was 48 so we did it again, 50 BPM. They said I needed to see a Dr. that's too low, I'm either a 26 year old athlete or I have heart problems. So after a Dr. ordered ekg its been determined that I'm a 26 year old athlete in disguise. I think it has something to do with that alien abduction. lol
