Joints

I just have a few questions.

I've only recently started smoking pot, and the times that I have were joints that other people have rolled. Now I have some of my own, and I'd like to knoow hot big the average joint is? Length, Thickness, etc.

Also, while lighting a joint the other day it wouldn't stay lit. I would take a few hits on it before it burned out. What's the reason for this? How can I stop it?

 

If you want a quick and easy way to roll a good length joint follow this method.

Its what I use.
I suck at rolling freehand.

 

Okay, that looks good, I'll try it. How much should I put per joint?

 

just break some up and try to role it whatever falls out put back in ur stash. id figure the avgerage joint is around a gram of pot but it can be alot more or less. personally i dont care for joints as much as glass pipes or water bongs. joints and blunts or anything thats rolled up seems to burn the weed up fast. pipes conserve the weed. pipes dont allow as much to burn away from the smoke comming from the doobie. dont role a huge doobie if ur just by urself it will just waste pot.

 

K. Anyone know about the joint burning out thing?

 

it only happens to me when i let it sit and dont hit it for a while. usually i smoke with a few other people so it usually doesnt happen. if u keep hitting the joint it will stay going lol.

 

If its still moist, it will either keep going out or it will run like crazy. Also, if your just slowly smoking it by yourself, it has a tendency to go out.

 

The only problem I ever get with joints is when one half burns and the other doesn't.

 

I rolled my first one just a little while ago. How does it look?

 

I'd smoke it.

 

Aha. I think it's a little short; I only used about half a gram.

 

a joints a joint......aslong as it burns....

 

if it burns uneven aka boating lick your finger and touch the side thats burning more towards the part where u put your lips do tht a couple times it will put the burning part out and it will burn even once it catches up it usually happens from not breakin the bud up enough

 

Break your weed up till it's just TINY chunks, and put about a dime or two into it, and roll the weed between the paper and your finger to get it "Tight" then roll it up lick and seal. I usually put 2 grams or so in my joints and they are a little bit tighter then your average ciggerette, and they never go out. The reason your are probably going out is because your weed is too moist or you arn't rolling it tight enough, you do not want "loose" weed in your joint, you want it to be nice and tight, but still hittable. and also like in your picture, don't have the end twisted so much or you won't be able to draw smoke. rip the tip off till it's close to the weed, and twist so there is like a little hole right in front of the weed and you suck through that, if you rolled it tight and right, the weed won't suck through into your mouth, even with the hole there.

 

my blunts/joints are always too tight, they look pretty but I lose like half the smoke as it doesn't pull through

 

Yeah I think that was what was happening to me for a while. But im getting better at it haha.


anways, what do you guys think about using a straw wrapper as a substitute for rolling paper? just stuff the weed in one end? i havnt tried it because i dont know if its a good idea or not, so just let me know what you think.

 

just buy some rolling papers, usually joints made with anything else aren't any good.

 

fucking harsh ass paper. FAHK that.

Just give er a shot, no one was born the kudos master. Just keep practicing if you want to get good at it. And buy a piece too for the meantime

 

nice. better than i can do

 

A whole gram?! That'd be a fat ass J! I'd suggest maybe half a nug if you're by yourself, unless you've built up a tolerance.
