Do they realize the joint/spliff they are smoking is filled up with way more tobacco than marijuana ? (or do they smoke fully loaded joint ?) edit: I don't understand the downvote but to clarify things: in Europe, where I live, I seldom saw fully loaded joint (which would be called the same: joint or blunt).

Yea, except the fact that it does not have the addictive elements of nicotine and those same students do not smoke 20 joints per day. But now you also have edibles and vaporizers too.

  Is there any talk about the quality or characteristics of the paper used to fabricate the joint ?

    Some papers incorporate talk into their branding. "Natural unrefined paper" "100% rice paper" "Natural hemp gum"

TIL a joint can contain tobacco.

  In Denmark (and I think most of Europe?) joints usually have tobacco in them, though apparently that's less common in the US.

    Yes, in Europe it is very common to mix tobacco with your weed/hashish when rolling joints.

      Yuck.

Some people did, but for the most part growing up in southern california it was just all weed, and usually smoked in a bong or pipe or something else made with glass. Blunts were popular though, so that might negate some of it.

How could they not? Do you realize the difference between drinking milk and soda? Or the smell of an orange vs. the smell of shit? If so, they are human just like you with senses including both the sense of smell and taste that would make it literally impossible for them not to realize this. But I'm sure you already knew that before trolling.

  > How could they not? Do you realize the difference between drinking milk and soda? Or the smell of an orange vs. the smell of shit? Eh. If that was true the US wouldn't be the largest consumer market for bottled water in the world. Just as some people think drinking 2liters of coca-cola a day is normal or some believing the blue cigarette smoke they exhale is impurities from the lungs being cleaned up (or was that the tobacco industry ?). I don't know how the pro-hemp/marijuana campaign plays out day to day and how americans perceive it. In my teens I used to know people who criticizes tobacco but still went on smoking 5 joints a day with tobacco. That was a minority though.

    So the US being the largest consumer of market for bottled water proves that certain people's tastes are so damaged that they can't tell the difference between tobacco and marijuana smoke? How does that follow and what the hell are you smoking?
