Mixing Cannabis and Tobacco
It probably comes as no shock to anyone to acknowledge that tobacco is addictive. Nicotine (the addictive drug found in nicotine), mimics the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which affects muscle movement, heart rate, memory, and more. Addiction is the result of nicotine’s ability to act as a stimulant and cause the release of dopamine, a naturally occurring neurotransmitter that rewards behaviour that feels good and beneficial so that we feel compelled to increasingly repeat it. This is referred to as “substance use disorder” (or SUD).
Cannabis, on the other hand, hasn’t historically been considered to have physically addictive properties. There are indications that someone can develop an addiction to cannabis, called cannabis use disorder (or CUD). But our relationship with cannabis is a more complicated one, involving phycological or mental moods because of the effect on the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system. If you buy Ganjagrams organic cannabis, you won’t be ingesting added chemicals like pesticides. However, it is likely that consuming cannabis with highly addictive nicotine does encourage addiction.
The Motive for Mixing
Some people like to smoke, and they have their reasons for doing so. If you are interested in smoking a spliff (containing cannabis and tobacco) that burns evenly, instead of a joint (exclusively cannabis), or interested in something that provides a proper smoke, and realizes that it is not realistic to smoke that much weed, you can opt for the tobacco/cannabis combo, it’s a function thing. You may simply enjoy smoking tobacco, or even have considered yourself a habitual smoker for some time.
Substance use disorder is a subject of continued study.
The Cannabis/Tobacco Effect
It is still being debated as to whether cannabis is any better for you than tobacco. There are over 4,000 chemicals that are common to both. So, whether you’re smoking a joint or a spliff may make no difference, it is still unclear. What is becoming increasingly clear is that if combining nicotine with cannabis increases your chance of becoming addicted to nicotine, the likelihood of it creating a negative effect on your health increases.
Tobacco Alternatives
If you like to smoke, but think it ill-advised to smoke an entire joint, there are alternatives to tobacco (nicotine). Some of the popular tobacco alternatives include Damiana, marshmallow leaves and roots, Kanna, Lavender, Kratom, and any tea leaf.
Vaping is an alternative to smoking, although you are still taking the vapour into your lungs, it isn’t smoke from a combustion process, so there is no tar and nicotine. You may or may not feel the need to vape oils, or e-liquids, you may opt for a vaporizer designed for raw cannabis flowers.
Edibles are for people who would rather not involve their lungs at all. They’d rather just breathe air. By infusing cannabis into chocolates, cookies, brownies, or gummies, you get the benefit of a precise and potent dose, and the digestive system provides a more extensive experience than inhaling smoke or vapour.
