Well, yes, my friends and the other people in their social groups could be lying to me for some mysterious reason, but barring further evidence, I'm going to believe them. It's true that tobacco burns better, but the general agreement is that they would smoke pure marijuana if they could
It doesn't mean your friends are lying. Sure, some folks could do that. My circle surely never mixed the two - we were more likely to mix pot and cheap alcohol to make the pot last a bit longer. The other point does exist in different pot cultures, just like some folks use slightly different tools to smoke.

Right, hence my initial "at least around here" :)

That said, there is no reason to force folks into giving away healthier filler herbs. Tax tobacco more, fine, but folks can buy their own fillers.
Fair enough. Just having it available at the shop, even if people had to buy them, would be a great improvement. Currently it's not easy to find around here.
And honestly, without testing the safety of the fillers, there isn't a real way to know how the safety compares to tobacco, especially if folks aren't using tobacco daily or regularly.
Right, so we should test them.
