How bad are filters with herb?

[linearvermin]

I'm thinking about buying a joint roller that comes with filters. This would be great because they would look like cigarettes from a distance and i could walk around smoking one and be pretty safe...I have heard that the filter absorbs some thc....but my question is: How much thc is actually absorbed? Will it make a big difference, or just a small one. If it just absorbs a little, thats fine with me because of the convenience. If anyone knows about this, please help =).

it worked for me. i wouldn't be worried about it absorbing enough THC to notice

By my experience, it is not so bad... I started smoking a few years ago and I was not used to rolling and I always got some cigs. on me, so I've decided to empty some out and to load them with the green stuff. Work great for a new smoker but with time I've learn to roll and stop doing that. For sure you loose some THC in the filter, good tip; take a needle and stab it, make 7 to 15 holes, it will help the smoke to pass trought without too much filtering. Or you can just buy a bong or a pipe !

Oh, I have a bong, bubbler, glass pipe, glass blunt, and joint wraps, its just that if it was in a cigarette i could walk around with it...cant walk around with a bong haha, and a cigarette joint would be less obvious then just a joint. Poking holes in the filter is a pretty good idea!
