joint burning

Last night I was smoking a joint...the cherry (lit part) just got bigger and bigger, till it was about the size of the whole joint. The smoke was extremely hot and harsh. And sometimes when I light a joint the cherry will just crawl up one side of the joint...why does that happen? Did I light it wrong, roll it wrong, grind the weed up too much? Maybe it's because my stash is relatively dry right now... Incidentally I was disappointed and thought it hadn't worked too well and that I had wasted my weed, but...I got very, very high. Maybe it was that thick smoke.

You probably rolled a little more loosely than you should have.

The joint was probably rolled loosely, the weed probably was not even (can cause the loose side with no weed on it to burn faster and thats what causes it to burn a line in the joint). Try rolling a perfect, even one and you shouldnt have this problem. Also moisten the whole joint (extremely lightly) with your tounge before you light it next time.

after its rolled up, put it into a folded dollar bill and roll it back and forth to tighten it up

Moistening the joint is one thing I have started to do recently. It burns a lot slower. Can't see me doing this in company though will probably use water.

How exactly does that work? i've heard it mentioned before on here but i've never tried it myself.

your joint will be side burning cause eitehr its too loosely rolled or badly rolled or just too much paper...if its to much paper try rolling it backwards

Either weed to loose or to dry.Try moistening the joint first.Will defanatly burn slower.

i do it with my friends, and no one seems to mind. you're all gonna be puttin the joint in your mouths anyway

OMG dont wet the joint boys.......please dont....my pet hate!

I would teach you how to role a ruthless joint, I see the J's americans make aswell whats up with that????? there all fucked up. My joints dont have a single crease on them and look fucking amazing.

LoL when it starts to crawl up the one side just flip it. Its called Canoeing its because you lit one side more than the other or it was rolled to loose. And ya definatly moisen the Joint called Baptizing, just dont make it soaking wet, just put in mouth and let the moisture from the inside were your lips are do it. Nobody round here minds cuz we all know with that little sacrafise you get that must more stoned. So its a good trade off. Have Fun.

See we just fix that shit in seconds......we call it a bridge and it needs a quick flame holding the joint at around a 60 degree angle....1 second and a quick blow and its all fixed. Takes around 3-4 seconds.

This is why pipes are superior. Get to a head shop and hook yourself up!

or eather that, you lick the tip of your finger, and stick it on the part thats runnigs, and put that out, and puff away.

someone buy this person a beer!!
wtf is up with those american j's? is it cos you all smoke way too much bong? where i come from, we take pride in our impressive rolling skills. im talking perfect j's. imma start a joint competition thread.

Brey my sort of guy.........

Its because im from the Uk i believe and we get stoned just about anywhere. We have to roll in some dodgy places such as: Bus stops, Train stations, In class in college, In church (lol i made a joint while watching my sis's wedding).

J's are communal and far more sociable, if anyone makes a bad J they get ripped (made fun of in a friendly fashion lol)

what can I say, WeedLovingVeteran, you're not the only one that takes pride in rolling and rolls just about anywhere ;)
