Yep, extremely commonplace. I thought "spliff" itself referred to a joint of tobacco and weed (may be wrong). I personally avoid it because tobacco after weed makes me feel nauseated. So tobacco + weed has the same result.
Also, whitey-ing is real but can be very very rare. I've been smoking for years and have never seen it happen to anyone, but it happened to me once. I zoned out and passed out in a grocery store after smoking a few huge bowls with my buddy and taking/drinking nothing else. Woke up completely drenched in sweat and feeling like death with a nurse (who was shopping near us) holding me up and calming me down. REALLY unpleasant! Felt fine the next day though, except the sore ankle I twisted.
I also strongly disagree that pot is a gateway drug. If pot is a gateway to heroin, than breast milk is a gateway to hard liquor.
