    Well, in Jamaica they roll with banana leaves sometimes...

    I have seen folks use writing paper, newspaper, tin foil to make a pipe, and all sorts of madness.

    But nothing beats a good rolling paper. I still have a last pack of Marfils from the 1980s that I save for once a year... but there are a lot of brands of papers out there...

    Don't know where you are, but check out the places that sell tobacco - perhaps they have lower cost rolling papers than head shops or cannabis outlets.

    Yes, the older papers (especially ones made in Spain) were top quality, burning to literally nothing if you lit an empty paper and let it burn. Often unglued as well!

    And I've been using them since the early '70s. Club Cabaret papers are also excellent, wider to roll big fatties.

    Always rolled my one. Used to smoke cigs from tobacco rather than ready made as well so always had a supply of papers. I like the really thin ones. Cheapest way is to get a local tobacconist to buy you a box when he makes an order and then pay him for it. Cheap as fuck and always had plenty at home. The wholesale boxes have 100 packs.

    I gave it up when I joined the work force, random drug testing back in 1969. Only a few times after that.

    I unroll them lol

    Not only do joints not get me high at all, they leave my mouth tasting awful. If I find myself in possession of a joint, I always open it up and dump it into a bowl.

    Joints also tend to be a bit of a waste considering how much burns off in between inhales. They also stink up the place a lot more.

    I usually just smoke (when available) before bed and was always a small pipe. I certainly don't do as much as I used to.

    But to the OP question, I normally just bought regular papers you can get pretty much anywhere that sells tobacco. A pack of 50 papers is only a buck or two & considering how much one can pay for their stuff they smoke, it's not that much.

    I tried a few times, and the joint fell apart and dropped the contents all over the coffee table. That was MANY years ago and MJ really has no appeal to me.

    I got lazy and bought a hand roller. I can roll one if I really needed to but they're always loose, takes me a few minutes and kinda crap. Pop it all in a hand roller and you got an even joint in less than a minute.

    For me, I like alcohol and weed, but I can go without alcohol for a really long time, like a year or more, and doesn't phase me. I don't get sick or have too much when I smoke weed, where I can sometimes over do things with the drink and get sick.... And in a couple of hours I'm good and sober again. I know it stays in the bloodstream for a while, but the actual effects drop off faster and easier than alcohol.... And no hangovers.

    My limit is two beers per week. I would be OK with non-alcoholic beer if it tasted more like real beer. Hard liquor is not my thing.

    I quite like Bud light. Not alcohol free but lesser strength and plenty of flavour. I don't have much tolerance for alcohol (or as my husband says "a cheap night out"), so it's perfect.
