Joint without tobacco: A healthier option

Pre-rolled joints in UK

Smokers are looking to print a purely cannabis joint, also known as a purity joint or straight green joint, and become increasingly common as cannabis consumers search for healthier consumption methods. A pure cannabis joint will provide a cleaner high because it eliminates the consequent health risks associated with the combination of tobacco.

Why do people smoke joints with tobacco?

Economical: Tobacco stops the cannabis from burning too quickly, and therefore is less expensive for regular users.
Burning properties: Tobacco’s burning properties help sustain a consistent burn and minimize spontaneous extinguishing.
Cultural habit and practice: In parts of Europe and other countries, mixing cannabis with tobacco (mainly called a “spliff”) is a common practice in the cannabis culture.
Effects modification: Tobacco produces a unique head rush that some users appreciate when combined with cannabis.
Less irritating: Some suggest burning tobacco with cannabis makes the smoke less harsh on the throat.
Another high: Tobacco and cannabis produce a hybrid high, or “cross-fade,” where the stimulant properties of nicotine interact with the relaxing properties of THC.

The advantages of tobacco-free joints

Without the means to ingest the nicotine, there are virtually no addiction issues associated with tobacco products. The experience is more pure, so you get to enjoy the full flavor and effects of your cannabis strain without contamination. Research has shown that cannabis, free from tobacco, produces more lucid cognitive effects and, likely, fewer respiratory symptoms. Often users perceive that pure cannabis joints retain the unique terpene profiles of the cannabis plant that provide aroma and therapeutic value in enabling the various strains.

Options for Better Rolling

For users who are mindful of the burning properties of rolling joints tobacco-free, a few alternatives exist. Hemp wraps, herbal smoking blends, and grinding cannabis to a consistent texture can each help the burning experience of cannabis-only joints. Cannabis-specific rolling papers, which are made from hemp, may contain a natural gum arabic adhesive and burn more evenly than traditional papers. Users can include non-psychoactive herbs, such as lavender, damiana, or marshmallow leaf, in a joint to improve the burning and texture characteristics of the joint, without the harmful chemicals from tobacco.

Health Implications

Tobacco naturally contains many carcinogens and toxins that you will not find with cannabis alone. There will always be a risk factor when smoking any substance, but tobacco is assertively limited. A 2016 study published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology found that tobacco-mixing cannabis users exhibited behavioral dependence – they demonstrated signs that their dependence on cannabis was more significant than those who consumed cannabis without mixing tobacco. Also, tobacco plants introduced 4,000+ chemicals into your system, including no less than 70 known carcinogens.

Transitioning

Users transitioning away from tobacco mixtures to pure cannabis may feel a bit different in the beginning. There can be an adjustment period of a few joints for users to sort through and guide themselves to any changes in taste, burning, and effect. In general, you may consider gradually reducing the mixture and then eventually switching to rolling pure cannabis only. Making the switch to tobacco-free joints is an intentional step for anyone to respect and consume cannabis in a healthier way, while enjoying the ritual nature of joint smoking.
