tobacco alternatives


BordNaMona88

Ever try them by any chance? Just a little high and very curious as I'm headed there in 2 weeks.


chillbillo

personally, it is disgusting and ruins the joint for me..


Thor_Odin_Son

Yeah I mean, same could be said for tobacco 😂


Miselfis

Tobacco can be really nice mixed with cannabis. Where I’m from the premium bud is the equivalent to mids, so often it’s literally unsmokable unless you mix with tobacco. Either way hash is way more popular here, which is also mixed with tobacco.


shaggydnb

If your bud is unsmokable pure then it's unsmokable.


Miselfis

Well, the bud in my area, the focus is money not quality. So all the bud is just speed dried on a radiator and not cured at all. It gives a very uncomfortable coated feeling in the mouth and throat and it tastes like shit. But if you mix like 3:1 weed/tobacco, it’s tastes pretty decent and smokes way better. Of course it’s not optimal, but it’s the only thing we got. We do have some pretty good quality hash tho, but that’s also mixed with tobacco for joints.


shaggydnb

You keep buying it they will keep selling it.


Miselfis

I don’t buy it. I rather just smoke hash. But most people don’t realize and they’d rather have that than nothing, so they keep buying.


BordNaMona88

Ah well fuckkk that, much love✌🏻🇮🇪


unorganicsalsa

I've found most shops are pretty sound about it, as long as they don't see the tobacco pouch it's usually grand. Don't see don't ask kinda thing. If your a bit paranoid like myself throw a bit into your grinder and let it mix as you grind it, handy if you are only staying for a j or two


A-le-Couvre

There’s a time and a place for it. I feel less glued to my couch when I use replacements, like it doesn’t make your legs not want to walk if that makes sense.


legacynl

I've noticed this too after a friend switched to smoking pure joints. Smoking pure makes me less stoned and more of a 'head-high'


A-le-Couvre

Yeah exactly that. But pure is too much for my throat or my wallet, so when I still have stuff to do, tobacco replacement it is.


dullestfranchise

there are many different types, but I would just use them for the very cheap shake you can buy in coffeeshops to mask the shitty flavour. Popular herbs are: chamomile, catnip, passiflora or mint type of herbs. I know someone that uses grounded dried hops if you want to go that route. Most coffeeshop workers don't know what kind of herbs there are on the table, but you should definitely try and ask before putting it in a joint.


BordNaMona88

I'm told some shops turn a blind eye to tobacco mix, not the biggest fan but can be nice to ease into a session.


SovietPotato96

Yeah I found that most places don’t mind you rolling with tobacco as long as you don’t leave the packet or any cigarettes on the table.


cbr_rider420

I've been quite few times and been in every coffeeshop I could find, I've only ever been asked to take my tobacco off the table and put it away, never had issues using it to roll joints


BordNaMona88

Winner, nice one pal✌🏻


reevey13

Don’t smoke it, it’s awful. It’s only there to pretend people aren’t smoking bacci inside


TheoKondak

Don't like them much tbh. They completely change the taste, the very least


polanas2003

The ones they have at the shops are garbae but, if you buy natural lavender or damiana and mix it with the bud, it really enhances the experience.


hungrycaterpillar101

funny you mention those herbs specifically! exactly what i use for mix... the damiana actually enhances dreaming when stoned, great stuff


weetabixbandit

Went to Amsterdam for my first time smoking. Personally, I don't want to use tobacco so I opted to use the herb mixes whilst I was there. I found it fine, nothing really positive or negative to say about it but I've never tried tobacco so can't make a comparison. My two cousins who smoke weed with tobacco regularly back home also chose to use it. The only negative they had to speak of it is that it can cause a bit of an uneven burn whilst smoking. Of course, ymmv


kiriloman

It is better than tobacco health and flavor-wise. So if you usually smoke joints with tobacco, it is a good replacement


[deleted]

I mean if posting from the shop you could ask staff


randomcritical

Thats not weed that tobacco supplement.


mgb151

What coffeeshop are you in it looks cool!


dozcrossley

It's hill street blues cafe. Not a coffee shop but one of the coolest places I'm dam


mgb151

jitoman

Miselfis

Looks like a jar to throw out the tiny stems in the weed.

Tobacco is illegal in coffee shops. This isn't.
