View Full Version : 3x5 card roaches
Im sick as hell, no bud til sunday, so im passing the time with you fine people.
Ok, when i roll a joint i use a peice of 3x5 card, or index card, to make a roach. I roll it up and put it in the end of the joint, roll it up and it keeps the weed out of my mouth and helps take even hits. This my friends is what i call a roach and i thought everybody else did too.
Most of my friends, and almost everyone around hre who smokes dont use the index cards as roaches. They consider a roach just the end of the joint with some weed in it but is too small to smoke. I ask them, dont you get weed in your mouth and they say no. They dont use anything to filter.
Ive been doing it this way for a while and im gonna keep doing it cuz it works for me. Does any body else roll this way? I thought most people did, i guess im wrong.

i read in cannabis culture magazine in the wutz hot an wutz not thingy that filtered jointz r not hot, unflitered r. so most ppl do not use a filter. im wit yah on it tho, i think they give u more torque so u can take big hitz, no weed goez in yer mouth, an when u get to the end ov the j, u dunt gotta wrry bout a clip er burnin yer lipz.

I guess people dont like carry around filters. I always ahve a few in my pocket so it doesnt matter.
I also find it easier to roll with, because the filter is roundish so you just hold that and twist it up. always comes out real nice.

That is the way most Brits roll, and is what is known in the UK as a roach.
A variation on the tulip is one of my creations.

I have heard a lot about roaches, but I have never personally used one. I have never seen anybody around where I live use one and I learned how to roll without, so I just never have bothered with it. Might have to try sometime though just for the heck of it.

i'm pretty sure the guy in that video is doing the same thing you do with the index card but he uses an extra rolling paper to make the "roach" end of it as you refer to it.

well here, a roach iz juss wutz left over frum a joint, wutever unburned pot. we call the cradboard thing a filter. but anywayz, u dunt roll it any differently really. all u gotta do iz make a spiral out ov the cardboard an juss slide it in the open end ov the j, nuttin 2 it. id try it next time u smokin, cuz i personally prefer it this way so u may too.

Roaches are the best things that ever happened to joints for niggs. No more nig-lipping it!
