Roaches

[BigDP]

hey guys,

friday is going to be my first time buying weed and im gonna buy papers also so I can make joints.

I was wondering, when I roll the joints, it is required to use a roach? People say that roaches soak up alot of the THC, and I get cant my hands on a bong or a pipe.

So, use a roach, or to not use a roach? That is the question...

:thumbsup:

Go without a roach, it's just a waste of time.:thumbsup:

Roaches dont do much for me. I usually like to throw out the J or blunt when it gets roached anyway, not the best stuff to smoke when its all gooey

I dont think a little piece of card will soak up any THC, come on.

I cant see how people can not use a roach either, pulling through a piece of.. flattened rolling paper, the gap must be about 0.1mm.

Its not common in america, but in england everyone uses roaches they give a much better and smoother smoke imo, and they dont take up much thc at all.

They make the joint at lot easier to smoke aswell kind of like a cig.. and stop you from getting all your saliva all over the paper, I dont know how you smoke a joint without a roach but I tried it once and its like your trying to squeeze the smoke from in between two wet pieces of paper its disgusting.

Maybe you should just try both and then you can see which one you prefer.

I use cardboard filters all the fucking time. Even on ez-rolls. You can get much more satisfying hits. :)

ya and if you dont youll probly end up getting a mouthful of weed

[HazyVille]

use the roach, imo it hits better and as stated above, you wont have to deal with trying to squeeze the smoke out of your jay, as for blunts theres no point i dont use them the rollie provides enough support, if you have enough weed in there. On another note, whenever i smoke blunts and it gets to the roach, and i cant hit it with my lips i just hold it up to my nose and suck air in through their hahah gives you a very wierd feeling for a min and gets you really high, not to mention its funny as hell.

def go with the roaches. just dont go over board with the amount of cardbaord and the length of the roach. i noticed that they hit best when you roll them so that the cardboard doesnt overlap eachother more than once, i also just bought some hemp papers from the local gas station and all i have to say is wow. Their so much easier to roll, their wider so you can put more bud in and they burn so much slower and consistent. i went with the ezwider hemps

i dislike the fact that roach means both a shorted blunt/joint and a "filter"

[airboy]

yes deffinately go for the roach.

[smartin.2006]

If you roll em right you wont get mouth full of weed and it will hit just fine. I used to roll with roaches and to me it seemed a waste of time cuz it was just as good.

[WeedyBoyWonder]

Smoking without a roach is worse in everyway possible imo.

[Nightrafe]

I use mostly roaches, it's just easier to roll the cone with a roach in it.
Or sometimes we roll the joint with the tobaccohead of a filter cigarette.

[Loathsome]

In my experience, you don't need a roach. Just make sure your lips are dry when you hit it

[r0k]

Yeah, waste of time imho.

[yokinazu]

this "roach" to me is a new fangled thing in the states. if you know how to properly roll a joint it hits just as good and you dont get a mouth full of bud. but to each his own

[TormentedImp]

i dont like joints bc its more work than its worth if ur just smokin a lil, when i started i picked up a nice looking metal piecec and i use it all the time, when im lookng to smoke more i just roll blunts. plus, all that smoke commin off the end of ur jonit is wasted weed, usually u got light a pipe everytime u hit it but its a lot less wasteful
and id advise against getting a piece if ur in any risk of getting caught so u dont have any paraphernalia thats when joints are best so u can just eat em or whatever

[TormentedImp]

oh, and thats a no on the filters

[LongIsland420]

dude it's up to your personal preference. some people find it easier with filters, some people don't. it's bigger in europe than it is in the US. I always use them with joints (not usually with blunts), for me personally it doesn't make sense to try to squeeze smoke out of a joint while burning your lips and getting pieces of bud between ur teeth and having residue all of your mouth and fingers. and having a roach / filter doesn't affect how high you get.
