What's the point of mixing weed and tobacco?

Question

i've seen people cut open a cigarette and mix it with pot and roll a joint

does the tobacco enhance it or something?

what does the tobacco do?

Answer 1

makes it burn better.  smoke a cigarette after you smoke weed dont make you high but it makes you more relaxed  

Answer 2

GROSS. Sounds like a way to 'stretch' the pot (are these people poor? If so, they shouldn't be spending $ on weed).

Some people say smoking a cigarette after weed makes you more high, but that's really bull. Weed makes you high... not tobacco.

Why waste perfectly good weed?

TO ADD: As for making the pot 'burn better', that's bull as well. Well... unless they have their hands on year old bud or some that's been sitting out and so dry that it crumbles when touched... then it may make it burn slower... but eww... shouldn't be smoking that kind of bud anyway.

Only other thought would be if you had some REALLY sticky stuff and no pipe. Tobacco would let it burn better (as it is hard to smoke super sticky bud in a joint). BUT... any pot head knows that super sticky bud is usually super good bud and wouldn't dare mixing it with a cig.

My conclusion: These people are obviously amateurs.

Answer 3

To begin your life as a drug addict and drop out of society.

Answer 4

well sometimes you just want to smoke a cigarette, but you'd also like to be high. So you're just killing two birds with one stone(r).

Answer 5

i dunno but if u put some hooka in dat and roll a nice fat splife its tastes good.

Answer 6

the tobacco just helps it burn better. It doesn't enhance it in any way. Actually if you are a non smoker it ruins it as you end up with a nicotine headache before you have time to get high.

It depends on what skins you use really, some burn well anyway, but some dont so you add the tobacco.

just a side note for the person below:

i did not say it helps "the pot burn better" i said it helps "it burn better"  - as in the joint
