It's easy. Most of the time people make things harder than it has to be. Just be patient and wait until you get the shit and you'll see the cancer paper. It's a strip that's darker than the 1st and 2nd layer wrap and it's about an inch long on the mouth piece. Honestly you're smoking tobacco anyways so you're wasting your time thinking you're saving your lungs by taking the paper off. If I were you I'd just crack the blunt open, spill the guts and put weed in and roll it up. Both layers ensure slow burning. Blunts burn slow anyways but of course the more the slower it burns. You could just take 1st layer off then take cancer paper off then try and put 1st layer back on but that's too much work, I just crack em and put weed in and roll it up .
