[QUOTE=sp00ks;36258688]I think the main difference is, that Americans smoke marijuana and Europeans smoke hash.

I don't know much about the pricing, but i suppose most people would take the cheapest option.
You can buy pre-rolled joints without tabacco in them here. I think most people smoke pure pot because they don't do it very often. Most people that i know/ knew that smoke pot said they smoke 3 or 4 a month.
Kids smoking anything is fucking stupid in most cases. They are trying to look cool and mature.
[QUOTE=SwissArmyKnife;36259496]People smoke incense? What?[/QUOTE]
It's similar to bath salts. Designer drugs are legally sold under the pretense of being incense, only they are 10 times worse for you.

itt: people talking about shit they don't fully understand
"most people smoke weed with tobacco"
"europeans smoke hash americans smoke bud"
"pot is PROBABLY better idk i dont know how to do research"
Cannabis isn't harmful if used responsibly. The benefits severely outweigh the little-to-none drawbacks. If you HAVE to smoke pot to have fun, then you are not using it responsibly and have become psychologically addicted. If you need to turn to weed every time you're stressed, same thing.
[QUOTE=Jodern;36260101]I honestly don't see the point about smoking at all.
If I want to smoke something I'd just put my head in the fireplace.[/QUOTE]
Do us all a favor and proceed with the afromented action.
Tobbacco by itself is a lot like Marijuana in that it isn't extremely harmful/addictive at all, but it still isn't good for your lung to constantly smoke it.
The thing that makes ciggaretts so bad is that there are about 4000 other chemicles in it plus the nicotine, which is highly addictive.
Smoking marijuana with tobacco isn't the same thing as just smoking a ciggarette with marijuana at all
I.E. a hookah is very different from a cig even if the "main ingredient" is the same (tobacco). You're not going to get extensive lung cancer (unless you hit one like... every day for a long time) and addiction from hookah but you will from cigs.

Not all addictions are bad though. Most of the world is addicted to coffee.
Anyways about the article: it doesn't suprise me.
Marijuana has several things going for it over cigs:
1. It is much healthier for you
2. It gets you high
3. It's not addictive (only psychologically)
4. It is just as "cool" to do, if not more these days.
Why smoke something bad for you that's going to get you addicted for life when you can smoke some marijuana, get something out of it, and be able to walk away the next day without craving some more? And not have to worry about getting lung cancer (unless you turn into a pot head and just smoke an assload)?
[QUOTE=sopie;36258709]No we don't... almost nobody in Europe smokes Hash...[/QUOTE]
Ehh, we only get hash into our side of norway. It's a celebration if we actually get some weed.
[QUOTE=James*;36258737]Hash is foul stuff though[/QUOTE]
thats cos UK mostly has soap bar. if u got a good dealer he'll be able to hook you up with some proper hash
[QUOTE=Van-man;36260322]Do us all a favor and proceed with the afromented action.[/QUOTE]
Same effekt just INSTANTLY. This actually sounds good.
I don't really see why they had to study up on this, it's much easier for kids to grab some money and go across the street to buy weed then it is to create a fake idea and spend $40 on cigarettes at some gas station.
[QUOTE=redBadger;36258715]Still pathetic people in my book.[/QUOTE]
And what reason do you have to call pot smokers pathetic? I'm not even on any side and that's a bullshit thing to say.

Make that 'less unhealthy' and you're getting there.
Inhaling smoke, no matter what it may be, isn't healthy. And I'm still not convinced that smoking pot has absolutely no negative effects whatsoever.

Breathing oxygen isn't 100% healthy either, so fucking what? A lot of shit we do is not healthy. People who live in cities are constantly exposed to unhealthy smog. I think weed's the least of their worries.

Tennessee just started passing bills to make synthetics illegal, because it is labeled "not for human consumption" they put all sorts of shit in it and kids were dying.
I remember in high school teachers/cops were telling kids just to smoke real weed rather than shit like K2 if they were going to smoke anyways.
[QUOTE=J Paul;36258600]It's a regional thing. Really I've only ever heard of people smoking weed with tobacco in Europe. In America, or at least the area where I live, it's incredibly common to smoke pure weed. In black communities, and more recently in some white communities, it's also common to smoke pure weed out of a tobacco cigar wrapper (a blunt), which I guess could be considered a mix, but other than that, not a single person I've ever met, nor anyone any of them has ever met, mixes their weed with tobacco.
In fact I'd never even heard of mixed joints and I'd never even seen one of those cones with the filters until I got the internet and saw pics of them from Europe. If you busted something like that out around here, it'd probably be a conversation piece.[/QUOTE]
I agree with this, where I'm from hardly anyone ever smokes weed with tobacco.

Seriously? You can't? You can't decide whether its better to develop deadly lung cancer than to develop...um...hm...yeah, I know there's something, but it pales in comparison to fucking lung cancer.

give me a safe place to cook and $100+ for the amount of weed needed for a batch
[QUOTE=KnightSolaire;36258926]There was an article on here about 2 days ago which found out that one spliff was worse then twenty cigarettes.

inb4 you are an idiot who does not give any facts.
I'd rather smoke cigarettes (Like I do) than smoke weed.
I tried weed, it was horrible and it's also illegal.
It's my opinion, I don't give a damn what other people think.

your opinion is stupid
[QUOTE=Webby2020;36258557]Who does that exactly?
I've never seen anybody do that. Or even heard of it.[/QUOTE]
No, but most weed smokers also smoke cigarettes.
[QUOTE=Sanius;36261573]your opinion is stupid[/QUOTE]
Why you are still posting?
so this is meant to be good news, right, because it shows kids nowadays are more educated on the dangers of smoking?
also what exactly is the reason for smoking pot with tobacco, that's unheard of here

Why would I smoke weed which is illegal?
I'd rather damage my health slightly with cigarettes than go to jail because of smoking weed.
This is just my personal opinion, you cannot say that my opinion is stupid.

If products containing THC is illegal, then why are products containing Ethanol or Nicotine not?
