People may no longer light cigarettes in bars and public places in the Netherlands but cannabis smokers are exempt.

Cannabis Exempt From Smoke Ban

[LightandDark]

And......?

Someone mind telling me the differences between cannabis and cigarettes?

Like chemical contents, chance to aggravate medical conditions, effects on health.......

Cannabis makes you feel really good. Tobacco gives you a minor buzz for a few seconds.

No idea.

Anyway, this is odd, because usually smoking cannabis requires a bit of tobacco to keep the joint burning.

True, although you can get special paper for it that burns differently which will keep the bud lit. But smoking pure cannabis just isn't right.

There's no way they could possibly police that ban though.

I keep the radio on half the night (to the local public broadcasting station- which is BBC at night when us Yanks be sleeping) and I heard about this but it doesn't make much sense to me. I understand a smoke ban because it prevents non-smokers from being subjected to the secondhand smoke, smell, and air pollution. But exempting weed? What? It sounds like the government in the Netherlands is trying to control the citizens' health. That really surprises me that a European government, which seem to be less intrusive, would do that. It's not a government's place to control what citizens can put into their own bodies, healthy or not.

Good. Tobacco is the shittiest drug I have ever taken. Need more potheads and less tobacco smokers.

Really? I've smoked countless joints, and only one had tobacco and weed in it. All of them have stayed lit.

I suppose it depends on the papers or the weed itself. Tobacco just makes it burn steadily.

I'm not sure what papers we use, they come in a little brown package thing though. I forget the name.

Only brown packaged papers I've ever come across are ZigZag and Swan liqorice. Word to the wise, don't bother. You can't actually taste it and there a bitch to roll with.

Yeah the papers I use are great, they rarely ever run and you can roll them really well. They might be called E-Z boys or something like that.

Some hard-core pot smokers in Europe might just uproot all together to the Netherlands just because of this law. Who knows, maybe Japan, or America too.

[Loki1285]

if you mix tobacco with weed you are not a pothead. That shit is disgusting.

Not really. The one time I did it, it tasted pretty good. Plus tobbaco intensifies the high of marijuana.

every European does it

you don't put much in but smoking raw buds is a bit nasty, and we get no floral material here, always just raw buds

Amen, I'd rather smoke a smaller join then inhale that shit.

Nah it's only done to make the blunt/joint/whatever to be a bit bigger.

you can get decent hash too

our marijuana is often quite good / very good but it's all buds, not flowery bits and leaves

i think mixing is dirty

in the Netherlands.

[major-shake]

Whenever I smoke blunts I don't mix, and it seems to burn fine. It could be the tobacco wrapper, but usually on a cigar they go out to.
