u sure it was water?i have never seen the movie but some ppl dip there jays or nugs or cigs in pcp. if u dont kno wut pcp is it is a drug that makes u trip and it is clear like water but wen u dip something in it, the pcp crystalizes on the object diped in it.
it was probably spit, cause he couldnt roll a good one. so he decided to get it wet so it would shrink down.
or hash oil. :D
When some people I know when to Canada one of them said to me some Canadians wet the joint with their mouth before lighting. Like suck it, kind of.
I've done this one numerous occasions for the sake of it, and it kinda makes the joint burn alittle slower, and the smoke thicker.
I've noticed that, especially when I get the gummy the wrong way round I tend to lick the entire joint to try and get it to seal.Quote:

Could be PCP or hash oil(or something similiar. But if for whatever reason the joint is starting to run, I give it a nice little dab of saliva to stop that.
Yeah its definately water i watched this movie the other day he basically put the whole joint in his mouth and pulled it out slowly sparked it took one toke and threw it away, im guessing he did that to destroy the joint.
i lick mine around the end i am gonna light i little so that when i light it it wont run up the side but i dont get the whole thing wet just enough to dampen the paper :jointsmile:

Its to make the joint burn slower. the dude does it in "the big lebowski" the thing when you put it in your mouth and kinda pull it out.
when you try to put out a fire...what do you pour on it? usually, water (if youre really unlucky, gasoline). its common sense that water makes paper slower.
and whats in your mouth? water (if youre unlucky...well i wont even go there).
just think about the answers to those two questions, if it doesnt come to you why people do this to a joint, then you should put the joint down!
by the way i know it as being called "baptising" it, and alot of the old tokers that i smoke with, the same guys who roll their joints as tubes with the ends twisted off and no filter, do this on every joint they smoke.
also if anyone watches kids in the hall, you may remember the sketch "hes hip, hes cool, hes 45" in which he pulls out a joint, baptising it and says to his son "hey, wanna split a doobie with your old man?"
I've seen the joint in the mouth trick before to help it stay shut, not really necessary but I guess it could be efficient if you do it well.
if you can roll joints properly there should be no other steps after licking it shut other than fire :thumbsup:
In Canada putting the joint in your mouth before blazing is called "baptising the joint". Its to make it burn slower.
Exactly. A good joint doesnt need to be wet to burn properly.Quote:
