Roaches

Mr.Green he means saving the roach is disgusting not using a piece of cardboard, or atleast thats what i assume he means, and yes paintballer i agree they taste of shit, but do get you high.

A good roach imo is essential to rolling a nice spliff, everything is based around the roach imo. dunno how people roll without one.

 

When people are saying they smoke roaches, they just mean the ends of their joints, without cardboard in. When smoked down very small, what is left is called a roach. I don't really ever roll joints though anyway, and when I do I use a cardboard roach...

 

it's confusing when people use the same term for two different things

for me
roach: the butt end of a joint with a little bit of herb left in it

filter: the card part at the end (cuz that's really all it is, it's just a filter so you don't get no herb in your mouth)

 

I don't mean a roach as in a cardboard tip. I mean if you don't use a cardboard tip, only bud, and then you smoke it down until theres only a little bit of bud left. People often save the left over bud in a 'roach jar' to smoke later. But it tastes all ashy and old and gross.

 

You've never heard of smoking a roach? It's when you don't use a piece of cardboard, only buds, and you smoke it down until you can't really hold it anymore. If you pack it in a bowl right after it usually tastes fine, but some people like to save them and smoke them later, which tastes absolutely disgusting. Trust me, I know what a roach is...

 

Yeah that's what I meant. I remember keeping a roach jar one time, got about 12 or so roaches... smoked one and threw the rest out. I mean, if you smoke it right after the bowl it tastes perfectly fine, but keeping 'em for a week is just gross.

 

That sounds NASTY!

I guess I'll have to try it sometime...

 

I know it grosses a lot of people out, so I usually only chew on them if I'm by myself or with close friends; sticky and yummy. I really do love that taste. Some people may claim it's a waste of weed, but I enjoy chowing on the occasional fresh bud, too.

 

i like chewing on stems...

but its a 50/50 chance that ill roll with a filter/roach.

 

The best way to save roaches is, immediately after you acquire one just get a little container, tupperware, plastic bag, whatever; and break it open and dump the rest of the weed into the container and throw the paper away. Keep doing this until you run out of weed or have enough for a bowl or blunt or joint and then use it for that. My boyfriend and I saved enough roaches in about 10 days that we were able to roll a mega blunt with them and it was fantastic. Was a bit harsh but that can be a good thing.

 

Seriously??

That's rough... Nothing worse than resmoking a chipped cigarette.

 

no you europeans are just sissies =P

 

No, mate.... We just roll it right to begin with, so we never end up with anything worth smoking in the very end of a spliff. This never becomes an issue for us, because our joints are specifically designed not to be smoked to the butt; rather like a good quality filter-tipped cigarette

 

I never heard of putting filter tips on a joint until HF. We usually just roll blunts and I started smoking mainly with bongs.

 

we must remember "roach" means different things in the us and the uk

 

Have you never heard of 2nd generation blunts/joints? You save roaches from a few sessions and break them up and roll them into a blunt. All of the extra resin coating the roach weed will get you extra stoned, especially when you have a whole blunt/joint with nothing but roaches.

 

I always roll with the roach in, none of this stuff it in afterwards business!

 

i usualy take parliment cigerettes dump the tobacco out, fill it up with weed, pull the filter out of the cardboard, bend the cardboard down. that is my filter and no roach to worry about.

 

after i smoke a joint, i stick the roach in my chillum and smoke it.

 

This must be the thread shwagg smokers hang out in.
