Tobacco Cigarettes versus Cannabis Joints

I don’t know about you, but I’m a little tired of hearing comparisons of corporate-made, old-fashioned cigarettes to a 100% medical-quality cannabis joint.  Once in a while in my early days of weed exposure, I had a cigarette or three while we passed around a joint because cigarettes were plentiful. Now I think about the crap that is in those store-bought cigarettes and I want those years of my life back.  (image: StopCigarettes.net)

Do you know what is in a cigarette?  Take a guess… ok, how about:

• Acetone (nail polish remover)
• Acetic Acid (vinegar)
• Ammonia (toilet cleaner)
• Arsenic (rat poison)
• Benzene (gasoline additive)
• Methanol (jet fuel)
• Methane (sewer gas)
• Nicotine (insecticide)
• Stearic Acid (candle wax)
• Tar
• Toluene (industrial solvent)
• and our favorite… Hydrogen Cyanide (gas chamber poison, tasty!)

With that list of nasty chemicals, I’ll take my 100% medical-quality cannabis joints any day of the week.

How about you?  Do you smoke cigarettes when you smoke weed?  Do you smoke spliffs (hand rolled tobacco + cannabis)?  If you haven’t guessed, I’m a purest.
