I love joints. especially when it is windy and all you got is a pipe that takes forever to get baked cause the lighter keeps blowing out. My friends dont like them because they say they waste too much weed. How wasteful are joints?? out of a gram of weed how much would be acually smoked?
Im not a big fan but to each their own you know.
I think whatever method you are using it seems to be working, judging from your avatar anyway. :stoned:
Pipes can be impractical. But with experience and the right lighter they work well. I prefer not to cmoke tobacco but I do miss a nice sweet ketama J when I am having a beer. I prefer to stay away from that dirty shit though, and i also like to be able to run a few yards without getting a split, I'm a terrible nicotene junkie.
I find humidity can often affect how well a pipe works. I just put up with it and consider myself lucky to be living this side of the North Sea.
I think smoking it in a pipe can be a little wasteful as tobacco ensures that the hash burns at the required temperature.
depends on how they are rolled. I have seen people roll a pretty joint, light it up, and you can barely pull on that fucker and a cloud of smoke rolls off the tip somehow. If your joint can't make you choke, then i would probably think its wasteful.
Next time you are fixing to roll a J, take that amount and smoke it in bowls, then ask yourself which high is better.
cool thnx but one more thing , how the fuck do i make myself a signature at the bottom of each of my posts?
Go into User PC and on the side you will see and option for editing your signature
You need to pass 50 before it shows though.
joints can be a bit wastefull but honestly so can bowls... the only way your not going to waste a bunch of THC is if you go out and get a decent vaporizer....
Personally, joints and blunts are my favorite, but i usually only smoke blunts if i'm with a people, Joints and blunts are an occasional thing for me, cause when i roll a joint or a blunt... i dont mess around 3gram minimum for a blunt... 1gram minimum for a joint.
i just remembered a study i read about a while back... Supposedly in a study (i dont know the sources so i cant confirm that thier accurate) they found that 95% of the THC in marijuana goes up in smoke... generally the more potent bud has around 15% percent THC, so your looking at a whole lot of wasted THC (unless of course your using a Vape, hten your getting a prety decent amount of that THC
I myself am not a big joint fan. I think they are wasteful to some degree but not terrible. like you said it is useful when it is windy out.
I like bongs the best. With a bong, you can control how much burns at a time, and there is no weed constantly burning like in a J. even when passing it around there is a fair amount of smoke loss.
o well, whatever works for you.
I abosultely love joints!!! I have become very good at rolling and have got it so it does not waste any more than a bowl... but then again as ValkyrieAg it really depends on how you roll them... when I started my joints burned like shit but now I love to smoke them more than anything else
I like to indulge in a good joint every now and then. Puffin on a joint is just fun to me. I don't do it a lot though cause I think it wastes a little more weed than smoking out of a bong or pipe. I usually roll joints with the bottom of my bag weed
Joints are not wasteful at all. They aren't as efficient as bowls are but they aren't wasteful. Now blunts are wasteful only if you don't have a lot of weed but IMO if you are by your self a joint would be better to use than blunt.
I don't find joints wasteful if you're with another person. I think joints are better and last longer if you're with a few friends. By myself I consider them a waste as I don't need that much. I only need 4 or 5 good rips and I'm done. A joint gives me like, 15 pulls. I'd be too fucked up after that.
I also find passing a bowl between a few people, the bowl gets hot. Yes, even glass if the glass isn't super thick, so fuck it, I'll just spin one up. :thumbsup:
how do you roll a joint that is less wasteful? I think using two papers helps but I dont really like doin that.Quote:

joints are definitely more wasteful than a bowl. you can use so much less weed in bowls. joints waste more because they naturally burn fast, you probably would need more weed for it, and the weed is in a constant burn. you guys were saying how a joint is good in the wind? i have to disagree because the wind blowing at it causes the joint to burn sooo fast its not even funny. it probably divides the smoking time in half (which is naturally already short with a joint).
If you are bad at rolling joints, they burn fast and you waste weed. Good joints can last fifteen or twenty minutes, though, and you lose less smoke than you would passing a cherried bowl.
I dunno, watch the end of your joint. If there are clouds coming out of anywhere but your mouth, either you should practice your rolling, or get a bowl.
After rolling a while, you will get a feel for the perfect joint. Not too loose, not too tight, not too much paper. They will burn for what seems forever, hit hard when you want them to, and do not waste any more smoke than a bowl. I wouldn't advise using two papers because it just starts to mask and overtake the great taste of your cannabis.Quote:

Bowls are way small amounts of herb. Joints suck since they taste like shit, are fragile, run, and hold small amounts of herb. A blunt requires a lot of herb and is the best way to smoke, it's herb rolled in tobacco so it's way smokier than any other way and tastes delicious.
All hail blunts. I just smoked 2 peach optimos and a swisher today.
I use to think joints were wasteful, but now that I can actually roll decently well, they are pretty fucking good. I'd say that are about as effecient as bowls maybe more, depends on the roller.
Joints all the way,I've twisted mother earth's gift since 8th grade, and I can twist quite the party ! Uh huh
lets hope lip doesnt see this thread or he's gonna get into some arguments.
He says he can make a joint last 45 minutes.
if thats true....that is nooo waste.
Well i personally lover joints. if i have a fat one to myself i get pretty baked.
bowls are good too. blunts are great.
I love joints, there only really wasteful and run if you suck at rolling them, i mean im not even really that great at rolling them but mine always work fine, and the amount of smoke you lose isn't really that much at all
joints are not wasteful at all. shitty rolled joints are. with practice you can get regular sized joints to burn for 10-15 minutes. by regular sized i mean .6-.9 (thats regular for me anyway)
I like smoking my weed using a bong esp. when the amount of weed is small as shit I also belive that smoking the same amount using a bong gets you times higher then if you use a joint, those gram+ joints are a real waste if ur using regular papers, they burn like hell... :stoned:
A gram of decent weed, spliffed with a little bit of tobacco and wrapped in rizlas should last no less than fifteen minutes, and that's if you're hitting it like a motherfucker. A twenty minute joint isn't odd, if you know how to roll 'em.
Besides, I can't rip a bong in between classes.
The thing about joints is that they're so practical like I can walk around town smnoking a joint in the middle of the day but you couldn't go around hitting a bong or a pipe or whatever.
i heard joints only allow 10-20% of the thc to get to your lungs, bongs are most efficient allowing up to 75% of the thc through. I dont roll joints b/c i've got so much glass and i do think they waste weed. *tokes from bubbler*
if you smoke joints your stash wont last as long as if you used a piece. serious.
idk what you kids are smoking but my buds are almost too good to waste in a joint.
if you got a choice mix it up, dont smoke out only one way.
If I remeber right, he also uses about 10% tobacco in his J's. Cannabis joints burn about 5x faster than tobacco, so add some tobacco in the mix, it will burn slower.Quote:

While I can pull and fog out a blunt with the best of em, I would never say that a blunt is better than a bowl/bong....unless you are smoking some schwag maybe. But if its dank, I rarely roll a blunt.
My friend rolled 3 blunts to go between 6-7 people and they all lasted 30-33 minutes apiece, which is impressive because really the blunts don't get a huge rest...someones always pulling on them.
I agree with an above post....i can't get heavily stoned off joints.
LOL @ You for not knowing your ass from a hole in the ground.Quote:

Joints are awesome b/c you can always get pulled by the cops and just eat a joint.
I'll smoke a good j any time of the day, but I never really ever spin my own stash up. Not to seem stingy, I mean I just usually pack a bowl or something. I can spin j's up. I've done it. I tend to prefer a pipe/bowl/bong. Whatever, I really do like to switch it up sometimes, smoke a fat blunt or something. Like I bought a half-o one time and we rolled a fatass blunt. It was pregnant to say the least, but it was all good. Fucking stoned before we could get half way...Hahaha.
I used to smoke joints to the face... then i moved back to bowls... my new thing is I use mini blunts like garcia vega minis. I roll up like a .4-.5 and its awesoe
I've always seen a joint as 2 bowls worth. As i only need one bowls worth to get high, I'll only smoke a bowls worth. I only smoke from my bong when i'm by myself. When i'm with my friends all i smoke is joints. I can't roll, can't be fckin bothered with it.
