"Even in Amsterdam they sometimes mix it with tobacco as you said."
It's been eighteen years since I was in Holland. Things may have changed as I notice that you and another person are saying that now the Dutch aren't big into mixing pot and hash with tobacco. It's entirely possible that mixing it is falling out of fashion in the Netherlands. It's interesting to read the reports from studies in Europe and other places where most people mix the two drugs. It appears that it causes people to become dependent on marijuana because they are becoming addicted to tobacco. They feel cravings and associate the cravings with both drugs. It seems like a really bad idea to me. If people mix it because they are looking for a milder high, it would probably be better to just smoke a few smaller drags from a hash pipe or vaporizer and not hold it in very long. That would do the same thing without subjecting people to the risk of using another much more addictive unhealthy drug.

Yes I totally agree with you but as I said it is my opinion that more people in Europe and Scandenavia smoke cigarettes in general, so that might contribute to the health issue.
I agree that people should smoke less instead of mixing it with tobacco!
