Gave up 7 years ago, but I might just take it up again on 12th March just for that one day. **** knows how you ****s afford it. They'll be £20 a packet soon.
GV has the consistency of a tramp's pubic hair and mattress filler. The taste is similar too, although I've never actually chuffed on mattress filler.
Do what I do, i've been of the ***s for about 5 months, I only smoke jazz ***s now and only at night or weekends, I feel better and my senses of taste and smell have returned. It's not a perfect solution because in an ideal world we would not use drugs, but I like them too much to quit altogether. Also I only buy one 12.5g of GV smooth a week now instead of 8 or 9, so I'm saving cash too.
GV is the way forwards for spliffs. It also means you can fall asleep smoking a spliff and not die, a somewhat useful bonus.
