jointstick

A jointstick is a type of cannabis cigarette that contains both marijuana and tobacco. It is often rolled by hand, combining finely chopped marijuana with tobacco. The jointstick offers a mixed flavor and altered effect due to the presence of both substances. The ratio of marijuana to tobacco can vary widely depending on user preference.

The practice of mixing cannabis with tobacco is common in some regions and cultures, often for reasons of accessibility, cost, or perceived enhancement of the experience. Tobacco, containing nicotine, is a stimulant, while cannabis contains cannabinoids such as THC, which is psychoactive. The combination results in a unique pharmacological profile.

Jointsticks are typically smoked similarly to a regular cigarette or a joint. The combustion process releases the active compounds from both plants into the smoke, which is then inhaled. The effects experienced by the user are a result of the synergistic or additive effects of nicotine and THC, as well as other compounds present in both tobacco and cannabis. The term "jointstick" itself is a portmanteau, blending "joint" (a marijuana cigarette) with "stick" (often referring to a cigarette).
