Have you ever considered the potential risks of mixing cannabis with tobacco, such as an increased likelihood of addiction? It’s a common practice, but what about individuals who do not smoke cigarettes? How do they manage when smoking a joint or spliff? Is it possible for someone to become addicted to smoking after being introduced to tobacco through joints? And how do former cigarette smokers resist the urge to start smoking again when smoking a joint? Is there a healthier, nicotine-free alternative to mixing tobacco and cannabis? Let’s examine why tobacco and cannabis are often paired together.
Tobacco is assumed to enhance the smoking experience for several reasons: it allows for a full, satisfying smoke that hash alone may not provide, it dilutes the strength of the smoke, and the combination of flavors can complement one another. However, tobacco contains nicotine, a highly addictive substance that makes it difficult for smokers to quit. Despite the common practice of mixing cannabis and tobacco, there is little research on the relationship between the two. While cannabis is generally considered to have minimal addictive qualities, some research suggests that smoking tobacco and cannabis together may achieve a certain brain state, but this is still being studied.
Cannabis use disorder (CUD) is a possibility, but it may be related to the pleasure derived from smoking cannabis, rather than its addictive properties. It’s important to explore alternatives to minimize the potential risks of addiction. Some tobacco substitutes include canna, damiana, lavender, marshmallow leaves and roots, and even tea, although this may not be everyone’s preference. Rolling hash on its own, using a chilling pipe or bong, or consuming edibles are other options. Have you experienced addiction to cigarettes as a result of smoking joints with tobacco?
