Roaches not universal?

I rolled a J with a cardboard roach ... my girlfriend, her best friend, and some other people all thought I was crazy for it... they still do. I look like a goon.

Roaching a J ( a piece of rolled cardboard approx 6mm long) means you can smoke all that lovely green down to the roach so you get less waste.

I tried to explain that! But ... ah well. If I don't roach it, I toss the end in a pipe anyway :P. I do prefer to roach though.

I never used a roach in my life (not even when I smoked a joint).

I roll with roaches, longer than 6mm though! Having a decent roach in ur blunt makes the smoke flow better and from gettin resined. even made blunts with double roaches, like "s" shaped curled up. its good makin a coned roach for big spliffs. The oldskool way is just as good

damn i am really high and got confused

what you guys are calling roaches I call filters

roaches to me is the leftover joint when you are done smoking

a roach is like a cigarette filter on a joint but a cardboard tube. Lots of people in europe and the UK use a roach. Ive never seen anyone roll a joint without one and i know a lot of stoners.

It's an interchangable term, Metto. Roach is just the last bit of a jay.

yup.

I would think of a roach as the piece of card i put in the end of the joint to stop any presious skunk being wasted.
