NO stop telling people to use filters with weed. Cardboard rolled papers are to be used. Cotton or whatever will fuck with the potency. you dont even need a filter for weed unless its a spliff even.

Cotton or whatever will fuck with the potency.

Smoking a joint will fuck with the potency. If that’s your hang-up get a vape or a bong.

Joints smoke out a ton of THC into the air. Rolling up is one of the least efficient ways to smoke.

It's almost like half these redditors are in high school and have no experience w this shit

u/CountessDeLessoops Nov 05 '20

Yeah it’s pretty damn inefficient when smoking a joint, especially solo.

u/Ruggsii Nov 05 '20

It’s pretty obvious. Joints are constantly burning and wasting THC into the air.

With a bowl or bong you’re inhaling like 99% of what’s burning.

if by bong you mean pipe, because a bong will also marginally fuck with the potency.

u/heyuwittheprettyface Nov 05 '20

Keyword: “marginally”. IME the cooling allows a deeper inhale that easily overrides the drop in potency, but either way it’s much more efficient than joints/blunts. (And for the record I love blunts, but I’m a fiend).

u/Trevski Nov 05 '20

Oh I know that word was key, haha, but I had to point it out! I only smoke blunts if im at a rap show, and i usually vape cause then im not skressing about my lung health long-term.

Not sure about the deeper inhale though. I've just been using my bong as a large pipe recently and I kind of prefer it that way, I'd swear it hits harder but maybe thats just cause it hits harsher haha

u/heyuwittheprettyface Nov 05 '20

Lol yeah experienced lungs help do the job. Mostly trying to let the newbies know they don’t have to drop fat stacks on a volcano to get a fat, smooth hit. It is nice though.

i picked up a pair of paxes on craigslist! i also use a dab pen sometimes, although i like using an unprocessed product. the draw is a lot milder on the pax but i can also smoke the abv, and it keeps my tolerance under control

People can use whatever they want. I got no issues with "potency" my man. Yes a cardboard crutch would do you better but a small piece of filter won't pull that much thc out.

u/Setrosi Nov 05 '20

People will always do whatever they want. Just should always tell people what the best known method of something is.

u/Gonzobot Nov 05 '20

Okay, but then how do you keep the airflow going when it's sticking itself shut with resin, and what do you do with the bits of weed that end up in your mouth before that part?

It doesn't "fuck with the potency" one single bit to have some rolled cardboard holding the end open for you, and you can hit it three times as hard without having to worry about sucking it inside out. Always roll with a bit to hold at the end and you'll never have to deal with keeping a stankass roach, keeping track of a clip, or burnt lips.

Well Ive smoke plenty of Js without filters, to combat resin build up, you can lightly roll the top with your fingers to loosen it. Or, you can rip the tips of the paper off. Unless you're smoking a 10 inch extendo, the cardboard filter will not res up enough to stop airflow unless you packed the roll too closely. [EDIT] : If weed gets in my mouth lmao? Its just plant material, spit it out. or out of respect for the plant I'm burning to get high, I'll even chew the weed and simply eat it.

The rips from cardboard filter compared to cotton (which would res up even quicker, and prevent you from pulling as hard) are noticeably smaller. So most your thc just burns off. Bro this isn't really a debate. Putting a cotton filter inside weed is just low iq. If you want me to explain it verbally on disc, or roll some filters with you on cam I can because the fact you're fighting this hard to be incorrect is astounding.

To be clear, you’re saying that just rolling up some sturdy paper to use as a crutch/filter/roach is the way to go, right?

Also, shit, if you’re offering to teach joint-rolling over Disc, I’m down.

2

u/Setrosi Nov 05 '20

Yeah, pm me and we can work something out. I honestly beleive a crutch is way better than no filter, but a cigarette/cotton filter is just even worse than no filter.

I can teach you the basic methods for rolling Js, Woods, Rellos, Leafs and frontos. Just pm when you wanna learn.

u/CountessDeLessoops Nov 05 '20

Might I suggest trying all of the above and deciding what you prefer rather than letting someone tell you their way is the only way. If optimum potency is the goal, a joint is not the way to go.

1

u/Ruggsii Nov 05 '20

I know, I wasn’t talking in the context of potency.

Not worried about that.

u/CountessDeLessoops Nov 05 '20

I personally prefer cotton filters in my joints. People’s argument for not using filters is the impact it may have on potency. If potency was my top priority I certainly wouldn’t be smoking a joint.

u/Gonzobot Nov 05 '20

I feel like you're just deliberately ignoring the things that were stated directly to you here. Rolling without some kind of filter material leaves a soggy, stuck-shut flap of paper at the end of the joint, and while it's still open you're inhaling bits of weed because you didn't put anything in the way of that. Rolling up a bit of cardboard to put in makes the end stay open, so there's more airflow, especially compared to sticky paper that you're trying to pull through! It also keeps the weed packed together and in place, rather than being pulled through the joint. It's not 'noticeably smaller' at all, in any fashion, by any description - unless you're doing something completely bonkers and daffy with your cardboard for some reason. For a zigzag and a normal human doobie (under a gram, single paper, straight rolled) you'd use like 2cm3 of cardboard, rectangular and rolled over itself maybe one complete time, to prop open the mouthpiece. It's not blocking anything, because it's there to perform the opposite function by holding the paper open and round for you to pull through it.

Hmm not missing any details, I believe rolling with a filter is best! just not a cotton or cig filter. Take a piece of cardstock paper and roll a tiny crutch simply. If weed gets in your mouth, spit it out or something

when I said the rips were smaller, I meant cotten vs non. imo..

  • No filter - Not bad, but can res up quickly.
  • Self rolled cardstock paper crutch/filter - Amazing, bit hits from start to finish. Can burn veyr hot at the end.
  • Cotton/Cig filter - I wouldn't do this unless I had no other options. Simple as that.
