How do they smoke marihuana in Jamaica? I mean the Rasta. They are not suppose to smoke tabbaco, so do they smoke only marihuanna without tobbaco?
I know my question may sound funny, but I'm just interested in this. In my country and in other eastern european countries (as well as former USSR countries) we always smoke it with tobbaco. So, no hard feelings, just asking

In the whole American continent its more common to smoke it pure. In Europe its more common to smoke it mixed. Rasta doesnt like mixing with tobacco either.

in africa aswel

probably because tobacco is more expensive (and its really not necessary)
wish it would be the same where i live

Sometimes tobacco is used in Jamaica for chalice smoking if the herb is too moist. But when you have so much ganja around you, there is generally no need to water it down with tobacco like there would be in a foreign.
