If you come across marijuana smokers, the only pain they talk about is rolling their joints. And this is not joint-pain we talk about.
Rolling a joint is pretty much like preparing your cigarettes, from the scratch.
Well, the Swiss have gotten rid of the trouble that has irked countless cannabis connoisseurs and average consumers of the psychoactive drug.
A small tobacco-maker is now offering cigarettes they claim contain just the right amount of cannabinoid to be beneficial, according to an RT report.

Well, the Swiss have gotten rid of the trouble that has irked countless cannabis connoisseurs and average consumers of the psychoactive drug.
A small tobacco-maker is now offering cigarettes they claim contain just the right amount of cannabinoid to be beneficial, according to an RT report.
"The world's first tobacco-and-hemp cigarette comes from Eastern Switzerland," reads the website of an independent company called Koch & Gsell, reassuring those in doubt that, "yes, of course, it's legal."
"The natural tobacco-and-hemp blend develops a bouquet of mild, sweet and spicy aromas when smoked, exuding the unmistakable scent of cannabis," reads a statement from the company, which is based in the canton of St Gallen in northeast Switzerland.
LOOKS POSITIVE
The new cigarettes contain a legally permissible amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is the cannabis compound which is responsible for the high people get after the consumption of the psychoactive drug.
They also have "an extremely high proportion of cannabidiol (CBD), a substance attributed with a range of different positive effects."
CBD is also believed to help relieve pain, anxiety and various other conditions.
HEIMAT CIGARETTES
People can buy a pack of the new Heimat cigarettes for 19.90 Swiss francs (Rs 1,300 approximately) at kiosks. People can even order on the company's website.
The cigarettes will be available in the supermarkets of one of the country's largest retail chains, the Coop, starting from July 24.
SWISS CANNABIS AFFAIR
With plans underway in Switzerland to decriminalise the consumption and production of cannabis for personal use, it's no longer a criminal offense to carry 10 grams of cannabis or less, which is now only punishable by a 100-franc fine (Rs 6,600 approximately).
Smoking hemp cigarettes will be possible anywhere smoking is permitted, the Swiss company has warned consumers to not bring these abroad if they want to avoid criminal proceeding since there are countries where cannabis is still illegal to consume or possess.
