Greetings one and all....
Ive been smoking weed for 10 years now and ive also been a cigarette smokers for longer... I tend to smoke cigs when i have alot of things to do and cant high ...
Ive always known smoking weed mixed with tobacco is not the way to go.. but in the country where i started the bud wasnt good and very very expensive so we didnt have much choice... Everyone rollling a joint would blend it with tobacco...
so the habit remained.. I still to this day smoke with very verrrrrrrry little rolling tobacco in my joints. Recently i started rolling a couple pure ones a day and im kind of enjoying it more... (the high that is) but with certain strains, i cant help but cough my lungs out.. and to be honest it doesnt feel much healthier than with the tobacco...

So now that im pretty decided on only smoking pure ganja, HOW THE HELL DO YOU GUYS DO IT TO NOT COUGH...=)
I smoke pipes and bongs pure.. no coughing... But after 6 years of bong ripping everyday, and gettting married, rather than smoking 10 bongs a day, i smoke a couple joints.... And like i said, with certain strains you cant work around the coughing...
Is this why most americans smoke bongs and pipes?...

So any suggestions, aside from (smoke more and get use to it)....

Take it easy, Peace out

spend longer on drying and curing, the longer it dries the smoother the smoke.

If i were going to dry i would last it out over a month instead of 3 days like a lot of people seem to do these days.

The faster it dries the harsher the smoke.

Hey speedy,
I let my bud dry at least 10 - 14 days in a room only for drying, at 55% RH and 18 degrees Celcius.... I then jar it up, and let it cure for atleast 14 days before even tasting it... Its true that my grows tend to pass much smoother, But it happens that i exchange with friends, or go to Amsterdam (dont live far) and sometimes those are harsher... but then again, Even with my stuff... it happens that COUGH COUGH COUGH...
:)

peace

hey guys, hows the smoke?bongsmilie
i too smoke my weed with tobacco. i am in australia. here it is about 50/50 the ppl who smoke with and without tobacco. its the way its was done when i started smoking nearly 20 years ago and it seems to be the way it is done now too.
i smoke cigarettes and use what we call spin(tobacco) in my weed. i smoke through a bong and most ppl i know do also. when i smoke it green i too cough up a lung every time. i am wanting to reduce the amount of tobacco in my weed but dont know what to do bout the coughing. you say drying and curing longer, but what about the weed you have to buy? can you make it smoother if you smoke it green through a bong?

cleaning the bong regularly is a must too, the left over resin can add substantially to the harshness

bought weed is always a lucky dip, never know what its gonna be like how it was treated and dried, some people even coat their shit to gain weight

i'm not sure about how to make it smoother unless you get it damp which is another common thing here in the uk.

if you buy your weed damp then you are paying for water weight. i m not keen on that at all. i am paying $300AUS an ounce, so i dont want to lose any of that weight.
i like to keep my bong pretty clean. i rinse it 1-2 times a day and give it a good clean every 3-4 days.
like you said bought weed is a lucky dip. i cant wait to get my first harvest in about 6 weeks. i will dry it and cure it properly.

i smoke blunts, which is a tobacco leaf with weed inside.

a lot of my american friends cough, but i think its because i always give them that expandolung cough your ass off weed.

i heard coughing is good, like its supposed to open up newer places in yoru lungs that havent been touched by smoke and makes your higher if you cough harder.

thats just hearsay tho, ive never seen documented proof

i have heard that too. therei a bit of a saying here "you got to cough to get off" and i think it is sort of true. but i am the same never seen any proof.

after a while youll stop coughing i cut out baccy and switched to the odd pure one and my friends would be choking to death but after say 2 weeks or so i just learnt to not take kingsize draws and the tickle cough jut dissapears and you can start taking bigger draws.

I smoked cigs for 4 years and stopped. Nasty fucking habit.

Just stick to pure joints and you're home free. Tobacco is a bitch's drug - there's no cheaper drug on the market and it's designed to hook and kill you...

thats what i am starting to think. at least now that i am growing. i think a big thing here is expense. $300AUS a bag.
yea you don't have to pay out the ass like that here but good weed is off the menu

Exactly what happened to me if someone smokes a cig now I hide my head inside my shirt until it is over and the tainted smoke has cleared!

Going tobaccoless wasn't realy that hard for me, now if someone passes me a spliff with tobacco in I normally hack a lung out. And I smoke cigarettes everyday too....

thats the trick to it man, id recommend just hitting a pipe fora while getting used to smoking pure j's is no easy task i was rolling half the sized j's i normally would using twice as much dope and not being able to speak to anyone for an hour..

good fun but a bit antisocial

Thats it guys, I have now managed to digest the pure spliffs:) IN only a week of smoking tobaccoless, its passing pretty smooth...
I do find myself rolling a couple of cigs a day! Never realized i was so hooked to tobacco.. i guess that is why i was rolling a joint every hour or so:) not the bud im hooked to, but the tobaco.... now i just got to keep the amount of cigs down, and ill be set:)

Take it easy

Jah
