Live Stoner Chat OPINION: Who makes the best rolling papers?

[rinnr]

I use to smoke blunts all the time, but if you are smoking good weed it completely ruins the flavor of the bud. I suppose this is a good thing if you are smoking garbage, but the thickness of the paper makes the smoke harsh too. Over all I rather smoke from a clean glass piece or a joint. But I smoke cigarettes too so my lungs aren't what they use to be

Lol I mean I understand smoking joints but not for these reasons. I by no means smoke garbage and would choose blunts over joints any day lol. I understand that joints are more flavorful but you won't miss much from Blue Dutches (which are actually flavorless) or fronto leaves. I can't vouch for the mfs that smoke backwoods though. I've also never smoked a cigarette in my life, but I don't think that's much of a factor in why people smoke blunts vs joints.

When I smoke blunts it's more of a ritual. My first smoke of the day is a blunt on the balcony with a book. I'll put it out once and respark it when I get bored and keep reading more. From then on, I'll smoke a blunt after hours of working on music, or after working my day job, or returning home from something. If I'm smoking a joint, it's to get high before I go to a concert or goin out etc.

Don't get me wrong I've only "confirmed" this theory amongst my friends, but don't you smoke joints to get high, as opposed to relax? Where you might smoke a cigarette due to stress, anxiety, that excited feeling you get when you think about smoking one n won't go away until you do etc, I'm smoking a blunt instead. If I'm trying to get high, I'll roll a quick joint or take a dab as both of those 2 are more alike (to me) than smoking a blunt. Joints, dabs, bongs...thats just "smoking weed" to me. Blunts are sacred. Blunts are necessary. Blunts saved my life. Blunts are there for me when nobody else is. I'm not entirely sure Jesus died for me and my sins. But I know this tobacco leaf did.

Don't flame me or whatever lol just had to drop some perspective

I placed an order on rollingpaperdepot and with the minimum order being $25 that is a lot of papers. So far I am enjoying the Hawaiian Skunk the most but still many to try. https://www.rollingpaperdepot.com/product/hawaiian-skunk-1-1-4/

I find Elements Red (hemp) much better than their original rice papers. https://www.rollingpaperdepot.com/p...hemp-1-1-4/?attribute_pa_box-of=1-single-pack

Lol I think you mean "don't roast me". And it's all a matter of preference. Theres no right or wrong way to smoke weed. Ok I take that back, when I was 10 I hit a bong for the first time and I blew into it and the bowl back went every where lol my friends were pissed, I suppose that's about as wrong as it can get. As far as smoking joints to get high and blunts to relax goes I'm a little confused, I smoke to get high, sure. But I think anyone who smokes regularly also smokes to relax as much as to get high. It really comes down to personal experiences and how we relate memories to our current actions. For instance my grand father use to make coffee at 5 am every day. I loved him dearly and I always looked forward to spending the mornings with him. So when I smell coffee early in the morning it is a little nostalgic, even though I make coffee all the time. It's likely the same with you relaxing smoking blunts. Also it's still tobacco, which may not have as much nicotine as a cigarette but it's still present. Just like when I get anxious I smoke a cigarette, for that same calming effect. But those are the two factors I see playing on your opinion. But if I'm smoking the same weed in the joint and In the blunt and the same ammount, there shouldn't be a difference in how high I get. Does that make sense too? When I use to smoke blunts all the time it was for other reasons. Like it's a lot easier to pass a blunt between 5 or 6 people than a heavy glass bong. Or I'm smoking when I'm away from home and don't want paraphernalia on me it's easier to throw away a 50 cent blunt than a 50 dollar bowl if the cops roll up. But in general when I made the change from blunts to joints and bowls I don't cough nearly as much and when I hit blunts now I'll cough until I gag sometimes. I just find blunt much less enjoyable. Also even the non-flavored blunts still take away the flavor of fine cannabis, joints do too just to a lesser extent in my opinion. Either way, as long as you enjoy it that's all that matters.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep an eye out for those lean papers locally. I like to have a couple roaches laying around in case time get tight. Roach weed is my second least favorite type of weed. But it's still better than no weed.

I mix my roaches from the week with fresh green at a ratio of 1 part roach 2 parts fresh and roll that for a few joints to get rid of them. But to be fair we normally smoke joints down to that last 2 hits before the tip. So theres not too much to power thru. Waste not want not and all. I donate enough to the weed gods from my spilled preperation bowls, falling grinders, dropped bits from the roller, etc.
But i smoke exclusively papers and glass. So the roaches are a bit more bareable.

It just depends, usually if I'm smoking my roaches it's because I'm out of weed so I don't have any to mix up. But by this time I usually have a good amount of keif in my grinder so I usually just pack a bowl with the roaches and top it with a good amount of keif to make it bearable. I guess there's as many ways to smoke as there are people who do it.

Man I hear ya about the donations to the weed gods. I wish I had all the weed that has fallen in my car alone. I could probably smoke for a year on what I've dropped in the last 22 years lol

Since about 1969, I've spilled enough to build a Burning Man...............lol!


I don't smoke often so I don't save roaches, they go into compost lol! And I usually have enough weed that there is no point. I also keep a bag of popcorn buds in the freezer as an emergency supply. Every few months I use them to make oil and freeze a new bag.

I usually smoke several times a day, so weed doesn't last around me for long. As soon as I start growing again, hopefully this will change. I've grown out a few dozen harvest in the past but I got busted in an outlaw state about 10 years ago with 15 plants and they hammered my wallet and tried to lock me up for 15 years so I've been a little nervous about getting back into it. Now my state decriminalized in July. So a small 2 or 3 plant grow could still be considered "personal use". And likely won't result in jail time so I'm getting my things together to give it another go.

I should have said, I don't smoke often but I vape several times a day. I absolutely love the taste of weed when vaped. My Focus Vape Pro and my Boundless Terra get a lot of use.

I know a lot of people like blunts. As an ex smoker, I find the smell of burning blunts even more disgusting the even plain tobacco! To each his own, but i don't understand why anyone would ruin perfectly good weed wrapping it in tobacco. But hey, that's just me.

So you didn't jump on the cannagar band wagon? My buddy made one and brought it over, it was interesting. Nothing to write home about. I didn't think it hit the best to be honest.
