In my 25 years of blazing, this is something I've been doing. European joints use roaches. Roaches are rolled cardboard paper butts used for a joint, they are usually thrown away and another roach is rolled for a new blaze.
Here's a tip, don't throw away your used roaches, keep reusing them until they are so dense with resin air can't pass through. You save paper, and the bonus is you get a stronger hit after each re-use.
I usually re-use two roaches alternatively for each successive joint. For paper I used the hard cardboard inside the Juicy Jay papers package. Rolled the butt to the width size of 3/4 a cigarette butt, and half the length of it.
Once they are packed with resin you can peel the top layer or thin the paper. The roaches should be dry first for easier handling. You can smoke them via bowl or joint, up to you. But I wouldn't recommend it. I snipped the papers into tiny pieces and rolled them with tobacco. Taste was sour nasty. It's like a bong high, strong at first, but not steady. Smoking paper does work, but again I wouldn't recommend it.
The best way to extract the cannabinoids from the resin roaches is by cooking them. You could try the alcohol extraction method too if you have saved a bunch of them. I'll be adding these resin roaches to my next cannabutter batch. Enjoy!
