ok so i love blunts because they're a very good social smoke and i like to smoke in the woods so they're easy and portable. three nights ago my friend put a blunt in my freezer because she said it keeps it from drying out. i guess we forgot about it and we didn't smoke it until last night. i've never heard of this and i thought it was kinda stupid but it burned so slowly! has anyone done this? also i have tried to put honey on blunts and dry them. i know that this works very well for slow burning, but i cant seem to dry it enough that it's not sticky and gross. i thought about maybe putting the honey between the tobacco paper and the outer leaf but i generally don't roll in two pieces like that. anyone have any tips? or other ways to make a blunt burn more slowly? thanks.
there are all sorts of techniques to roll a slow burning blunt. when using honey, put a very small amount on the leaf and then roll it, if its sticky and gross, you put too much on, no need to wait for it to dry either because you use so little. some people put blunts in the microwave for 5-10 seconds to dry out the leaf so it seals it, and some put it in the freezer because it lowers the temperature of the leaf and bud so it dosnt burn up as fast. basically to get a really nice blunt, find the freshist leaf you can (ask how old the blunts are, ask for a fresh one, go for a newly opened box, etc.. when buying one), having dank (moist) weed, and roll it tightly (but not too tight). combined, this will give you the best blunt, or so i have found through experience.
Wen i was younger i did the honey over blunt, to make it less "gross" I added jamaican white rum. Im pretty sure u can add any just mess with the proportions of honey and alcohol. U can even dry it with a lighter this way it will go in a flame not so bad where it would put a hole in the blunt, end result honey and alcohol flavored blunt and slower burning.. Ohh yeah i only used backwoods and whiteouts if that makes a difference..
the reason it burns slower from the freezer is because then it is frozen.. from it getting warmer it creates an ever so slight amount of condensation to moisten it up and thus make it burn slower
Buy you a Dutchmaster. Lick the outside well. Start from the inhale point of the blunt and peel the layer of leafroll off. Break the Bluntwrap after the leaf is off and fill with goodies. Roll the leaf back onto your blunt tight and you've got the slowest burning blunt ever. I swear i had a dutchmaster blunt last me three hours last night. No need for extra fixins such as Honey or syrups
BUT you may end up wasting 10 dollars worth of dutchmasters before you get the technique down well enough. Theyre a bit of a bitch.
dutches are the easiest to roll imo, cause if you fuck up the paper, you still have a leaf to fix it. plus they taste amazing!
When you smoke weed in a blunt/spliff/joint/cigaweed, you waste approximately 90% of the THC. 90%. I don't know about you, but smoking weed like that seems pretty retarded, no matter how cool it looks. Pipe it up.
yup that and the existing moisture in the paper that was there before the condensation formed has to go through two state changes (solid to liquid, and liquid to gas) instead of one (Liquid to gas) so the fire has to use more energy to overcome that obstacle and it also causes it to burn slower.
Smoking marijuana period causes significant THC loss (unless you are in a small room). Since you can take massive hits out of bongs, therefore burning much of the THC and sending it right to your lungs, loss is only ~10-20%. Pipes are less efficient, as the weed tends to continue smoldering after you're done a hit (and a smaller hit since it's harsher), so loss is about 60%. With joints, you have all the loss mentioned so far, plus the fact that your mechanism is porous, allowing gas to flow out freely through the sides. This effect is more dramatic when outdoors, in a breeze. Smoking a joint outside wastes around 80-90% of the THC in the joint. Smoking out of a pipe outside wastes about half the THC. It's simple gas mechanics. That's why we have folk-knowledge like "pipes get you more fucked" and "bongs are ridiculous". It's because you're getting double or triple the effect off the same dose of THC, since more of it is entering your bloodstream.
"Since you can take massive hits out of bongs, therefore burning much of the THC and sending it right to your lungs, loss is only ~10-20%. " Sounds like a bitch that cant drag on a blunt.
ah thanks everybody. i just rolled a gorgeous dutch and i'm about to see if it lasts through my finals cram session for this evening
its true... it was on an episode of Bill Nye The Science Guy heres a photo of him explaining it to a group of grade schoolers....
