Spliff question

[StokeBloke]

How much weed do you put in a spliff, and do you use tobacco or just pure?
I just can't seem to find the highs I used to get when I was younger smoking hash (green was very scarce in the late 80s early 90s in the UK) and I don't know if I'm putting in too much or not enough which is affecting the results.

Why would you need tobacco? I too smoked in the 80's and usually green oil or hashish. You have to remember the weed back then was a lot different than now. Unfortunately back then a good majority of weed was mixed with fan leaves for more profit making the weed less potent. Nowadays home growers don't use the fan leaves because the highest concentrations of THC are in the flower/bud.

if your weed is weak you might be growing it incorrectly, harvesting too soon or not curing it properly.

Yes it could be low ratio of weed to tobacco. I don't do that blunt with tobacco but i know folks who do. I'm not sure what you are expecting for a high or why the blunt. I've grown lousy weed do to enviornmental factors outdoors not indoors much anymore. My indoor weed is pretty potent now that i've learned the way of growing.

Have to disagree. The weed in the uk has never been better or more potent. The shit I used to smoke as a teen in the uk I wouldn’t smoke now if someone offered me it for free

Yeah I just watched a Vice YouTube vid about some super skunk strain that’s taking over the UK and supposed to be extremely potent

I never understood mixing cannabis with tobacco, but to each their own.

Every Australian and New Zealander i have met adds tobacco to their joints.

I think it probably originated in the African communities to save weed. I know when I was a teenager they almost always rolled " pins". They thought our doobs were wasteful because they were so much bigger.
Now it's for stealth, it actually gets rolled into a flavored cigar or " blunt" and also to save weed.

Adding tobacco only has much effect on persons not addicted to nicotine (yet). I shared a Sour Diesel spliff after a NORML event once and the boost was plain to me, even as wrecked as I was on the SD. I won't mix my weed with tobacco for my own use because I don't need another habit to feed.

But honestly, I can't get the same kind of highs from when I was 20, likely because of aging. I can get pretty close after a tolerance break but I don't like to take a break unless I'm dankrupt. (I haven't been completely out since 2017.)

I’ll be honest from experience highs as a 17-18 year old and what I feel now is no comparison don’t get me wrong weed is still the best thing on earth but it isn’t as good as it once was I remember one time in highschool I got stoned with some friends on a Saturday and just walked around town but after smoking the first bowl time just started to slip the day turned into this almost Hollywood flashback like thing where the only thing I remember was a dozen or so 2-3 min moments and the weird thing was I knew it was happening and I always seemed to know what we were talking about but I rarely knew where we were and don’t even get me started on the first time which was the first time experiencing munchies as well I was an unstoppable eating machine for over an hour in a fully stocked kitchen and there was no one to stop me because everyone else was either having sex or couch locked but back on subject I know exactly what you mean it’s like when you smoke you only scratch 90% of the itch you still feel great but at the same time somehow unsatisfied the solution I found for myself was switching from a hand pipe to a bong for you that’s like switching to a blunt but i know in the UK blunts are a pricey option my advice would be switching to a method of smoking that increases your thc intake you won’t feel like you used to but it’ll definitely scratch that itch
