Are the English captivated by joints?

Ok, most if not everyone I know that blazes in England ONLY smokes (most)
joints. What's wrong with that I hear you say? Why absolutely nothing ofcourse. However, my question is why. Why don't the English prefer other smoking methods or at least show some interest in them. Personally, I learned to smoke in U.S so i learned from a glass spoon. I've moved onto my bubbler now. None of my friends over here have a glass pipe, I know 1 person with a bong, I just never hear any other methods being discussed. I think everyone is too set in their ways of joint smoking. One girl even said to me: "Eww, you smoke out of a pipe, that's disgusting!" My ex g/f tried
smoking from my pipe once and she was like "it's too harsh" "waa waa waa"
"I need tobacco in my joint!!!!!!!!!!"

I'm not the biggest fan of joints for these reasons:
I can't roll anyway :P (basically i'm 2 lazy)
They constantly burn, airgo, where's the thc going?
It's hard to conserve your bag when you're constantly rollings J's or matching someone.
I hate tobacco, I'd rather just smoke weed pure but every English person I talk to always says this:

"Nah bruv, you need it otherwise it doesn't burn properly."

Anyway, this thread was not to nag the joint smokers but more to question why there seems to be no diversity between smoking methods. Reply if you can be bothered.

i myself have 5 bongs and 2 pipes and an electric pipe you remember that one right? lol yeah but i stickm to joints cos i know what im getting and i too find the pipe harsh and the bongs hits r over in a flash with a joint u can kcik back with a lighter for about 20minutes

Because joints are the best, learn to roll a proper one and you'll never go back :)

I have a pipe and a bong, i smoke joints on weekends and pipe or bong on weekdays, so i use pipes and bongs more than joints and im english. But i agree with you that most people around here do smoke joints most of the time.

Joints have the highest thc consumption from the weed that's burning apparently. Plus they're easy to carry around, there are lots of cops around these days therefore walking around with a glass pipe may not be subtle enough. I prefer using a bong but a lot of the time they just aren't practical.
Pure.

1st of all whats with English and not British!

Anyway, for me - using bongs/bubblers/pipes and all that jazz is just to get really fucked up - like smoked out your tree.

I like rolling joints - I like starting off with some skins, weed and my fingers then crafting it into something smokeable - its rewarding to smoke something you have created from scratch.

I like to lie back with a joint and smoke it slowly
With a bong, its too much hassle, and it gets you too baked.
I used to be into all that when I was like 14-16 but now my aim isnt to get totally wasted - I just want to mellow out a bit and joints are perfect for that. plus its cool to pass them round:stoned:

Ha, yea, maybe I should've put British :o

Maybe it's just me and my lack of passion for arts and crafts that keeps me away from joints. I know what you mean though about the reward factor. I prefer to pack a bowl in what, 10 seconds, then how ever long it would take me to roll one. That's just me being lazy again tho :D I really like the artisticness of a glass piece, the whole concept of naming it etc. Joints are easy to pass around but it sucks when it sideburns or when you spill ash. I like joints but I doubt I'll ever like them as much as my bubbler <3

I have got a bong, a chillum and a pipe. Pipes are good because you can be absoluely out of it but still load a pipe. I have just bought some licorise rolling papers so I am to have a hash and skunk special so i still love joints.

I agree totally :D, joints = the original Rasta way :D lol jk.

i use to use boung'.s and pipe's when i
was in high school. then all i used wher papper's for a long time unless i had no
papper's then i would make a pipe out of a can.
Bought small pipe two mounth's ago
an it get's you more high and you don't
waste as much.so now i use bouth.

I know most of yall will probably say it is b/c i dont role a joint properly but everytime i smoke a joint it seems to run alot and waste too much bud. I prefer gravity bongs or pipes, i feel like they conserve my bag while still getting equally high if not higher

i can roll a joint properly,
but would choose a blunt over it,
and a bubbler over that
and a bong over that [don't have one though]

you silly british with your papers

i am with you all the way. i love my bowls. i name all of them. I do make homemade bongs, and that has to be just as rewarding as rolling a joint., i am 16, and basicaly, i love smoking out my brains

I think the same as you Rogue.

Almost everyone who smokes weed in UK smokes joints.

I prefer joints, but i have about 7 bongs and 4 pipes.

Recently i bin using bongs alot more... And i couldnt belive what i had been missing. So now i have 2 hits from my bong and a spliff whenever i wanna chanse my high.

Dont use the pipes much though, just not my thing.

joints will always be my favorite way of smoking pot, but i usually use a small glass pipe so i can divide the weed up into like 3-4 bowls, smoke a bowl, wait like 10 minutes, and then smoke another. if i had the money i'd roll joints and pack huge bong bowls but i can't.

I would roll more joints, but i can't roll for shit. glass pipe 98% of the time. The rest is when other people roll for me.

whatever Sensiride said..

I still cant beat a gravity bong for sheer wanting to get stoned very quickly

I fucking love joints, just been for one. If you can roll them right (I like to think I can) they burn really slow and you can just sit back and relax. They're perfect for the summer... I love playing basketball in the park then lying on my back with a nice j to share with my friends. Can't beat it.

I do use tobacco but I know it burns fune on it's own. I find pure joints are quite bad for passing though cos you have to roll a king and it eats your stash. Find 'em too harsh without the chemicals in baccy to numb your throat. I stick to rolling baccy, GV or Cutter's Choice it's so much smoother then fag baccy.

Because they're not called "British Muffins", are they?!?!?!

personally my favorite is the best of both worlds, we call it "dick in the bush"

roll a blunt or fat ass joint to the size where it will fit in your bong stem without the bowl piece and fire away

shit gets you smashed with a quickness

If I have like an ounce, Ill roll spliffs pure. Most of the time I dont have enough on me to roll a pure spliff.

OK, sorry to be dumb here, but I'm new to the world of grass since recently buying some for my sister, who's sick with chemo, and trying it again myself for the first time in years. I know what a joint is, and that's how we're smoking this. For folks who don't roll good Js, which is true of me, a little rolling machine works wonders.

I know what a blunt is and that it's a different sort of smoke in a different shape than a joint (also with different paper), but I guess I don't understand the "why" of a blunt. Doesn't it just use up more herb than a J in a straight shape? Why do folks smoke blunts instead of joints?

And what's a spliff? Like I said, excuse the dumb nature of these questions, but I'm still learning all the terminology . . . .

Spliff is still a joint. Same as a doobie.

Not trying to be an arse or anything, but for terms to do with drugs, try typing it in www.urbandictionary.com
You get a lot of different views on what the term means depending on what part of the world the poster is from.

Not everyone who is British is obsessed with joints. During my senior year of high school (fun times) we had a foreign exchange student from England. She was in my Econ class and eventually we started talking. One day our talks led to weed and we found a mutual ground and liking. I invited her to go toke with me. I made a joint and brought it with me and she absolutely hated it. She felt it was too much wasted and that bongs where the best way to get high. I couldn't have agreed more but i had just one problem, i had no bong available. Well i learned my lesson when toking with her and always brought my bong. I still keep in touch with her (nothing happened between us, sad for me she was good looking) and she is talking about coming back to the states to talk to some people again. Yeah, a old friend coming back. Time to get some more of that sweet erb. :rasta:

Kush, I love it when I hear about the Herb bringing and uniting people together. Its one of the few things that can unite blacks, hispanics, asians, indians, japanese, chinese and caucasian people.

Cool. Will use that link. Thanks, Swizzy.

i think they are...but i never said anything cause i figured it would get me slapped or i was totally overgeneralizing. thanks for reiterating something that i always noticed

im english, andits true that we do mainly enjoy joints. However, often we make use of bongs, pipes, hotknives and buckets.

Werent you banned for being a dirty mouthed, sick minded bastard?
My God, I shouldve been banned for that by now. Im different though, I say it in a classy way.

You: 'hey darlin, wanna have a shag?'


Me: 'hey sexy, how about we skip the kissing, cuddling, passionate intense sex and just move straight onto the after-shag-fag?'

J rolling has a few very important attributes:
1. making a J with your own hands is a nice pre-smoke ritual
2. you can't spill a J
3. (most important) you can't eat your glass pipes if you have a run in with police

Ah sweet, a Japanese toker. No offence, but do the eyes go even slittier?

thats true. try swallowing a 14'' roor. When i can afford it, i roll jays thick, sumtimes thicker than cigs. im such a j man. but when money is an issue, vap, bowl, and bong. smoking is smoking to me, i adapt my smoking to my day. jay's with baccy taste way different than straight jay's to me, but i'll still smoke it!

Ditto, it feels good to smoke something you crafted yourself.
Pure.
