Since Germany's legalisation, I started rolling joints myself instead of making my SO do all the work lol
Practice makes perfect!
Nice looking joint.

Took a lot of effort on my part lol
Do you compress the pot by rolling it back and forth before wrapping the paper? Also is your pot dry?
This particular joint looks like it’s kinda loose.
I knew an old guy with no teeth in Indiana who was part of a family that sold tons of pot. This guy was the family’s designated joint roller and holy shit could he roll a joint. They were perfectly cylindrical, with a filter at one end and the other end tucked down tighter and more symmetrically than an angel’s butthole.
We used to sit there and smoke those joints and play “Greedy”, which is a dice game involving five dice.
Later when I was introduced to the November Games at MIT, the dice game they play is identical to Greedy.
For me the nicest thing about legalization has been moving to vape cartridges. Especially if you are a very infrequent smoker.
The advancement of smoking tech in the legal market blows my mind.
God bless humanity for black markets, because fuck authoritarians, but also god bless humanity for free markets even more.
Most advanced idea in the black market was pot brownies. Five years after legalization and I’m buying little self contained vape cartridges where all I need to do is pull and out comes pot vapor of any strain I want.
Yep. And it's cheaper too!
So much cheaper. And I can get carts that smell like strawberries instead of pot, so I don’t get in trouble with my apartment building.
I use a re-usable battery, but the self-contained vapes are super impressive. No charging required, nothing but unwrap and pull.
As a very infrequent smoker: please tell me more!
The cartridges never go bad so as long as you store them properly you can keep one more or less indefinitely. They're pretty cheap too. And less harsh than flower. Very convenient if you just want something around to use whenever you need it. All you need is a battery.
Anyone in here roll them backwards or inside out? That's my favorite way, burn off the excess paper. You look like a true pro rolling those ones
Dutch style.
Hey pretty good op! Better than the ones i roll
🙏🏻
Try to make sure there's no herb between the filter and the paper, makes getting it tight around the filter much easier. Once you manage to tuck the paper around the filter nicely and have a nice grip around that part, it's much easier to get the rest of the joint tight as well. And when the joint is properly tight around the filter, the filter won't fly off when you shake the joint from the other end to get it tighter.
Tldr just make sure you get the paper around the filter good and tight, the rest will fall in place
Listen to this man!
Hey thanks.
That's not common for someone to say about me, haha.
Do you use OCB Coal filters? These can be a little bit tricky to get rolled into a joint. I like the Curved OCB Tips the most, maybe give them a try to up your game. Although this looks pretty good for a start.
Yea, I'm using coal filters as they're a little more pleasant to smoke with. I used to choke a lot smoking through paper filters. But thanks for the suggestion - I'll keep it in mind!
Does the "good stuff" not get yoinked out of there with a charcoal filter?
Not to my knowledge. The cannabinoids and terpenes go through the filters, and the rest you don't want to inhale are filtered out. Makes for a more pleasant smoking experience all around - less itching, less coughing
Sweet I'm going to give it a try. I smoke joints the way other people smoke cigarettes, so I feel like it would make a difference.
Yea, cigarette filters aren't what your looking for for sure lol. According to my research, they also filter a substantial amount of THC in addition to anything else that might be filtered by them, so it's not an ideal high. You're probably better off just using self-made paper filters. Charcoal filters are where it's at, though
Oh nah, I smoke joints with glass filters that I cut myself out of borosilicate tubes. I meant "the way other people smoke cigarettes" as in quantity and frequency; I average 10 joints a day, every day. I'd smoke more if I could but I just don't have the time 😂
I did experiment with packing Top tubes with weed but the cigarette filter takes out "the good stuff" which is why I was skeptical of the charcoal ones.
Oh, yea sorry lol
So far, I'm quite content. Now glass filters, though. What's their deal?
Dude I'm telling you, glass filters are the way for sure. I cut a piece of 8mm OD boro tube down to approximately 30mm, which in my opinion is the ideal length and gauge for 1 1/4 papers. I can make I think 120 of them for like 9 bucks and I reuse them until they get lost or find their way to someone else's ashtray.
They never collapse or get soggy, even if the person you're smoking with drools like Homer Simpson. And if it's clean it tastes better than a cardboard filter too. It doesn't filter very effectively though, and in about 1% of my joints I suck a little flower into my mouth.
I thought I might be able to fill one with activated carbon and cap it with steel wool or something. That would be the best of both worlds, in my opinion.
Yeah i feel that, i only smoke with charcoal filters(for 3+ years) :D Have you tried the purize filters? I find they dont have as much of a taste of their own. Sadly not every kiosk or gas station offers them but headshops usually have them.
These seem quite similar to what I'm using. What's the difference exactly?
Good question, maybe it's the size of coal or the thickness/shape of the ceramics, but i found they taste less of coal.
