if youre talking about something the same as a zigzag but something from around the house Im guessing?? well just in case, you can use the blank pages in a Bible. or possibly a dictionary depending on how new yours is and how thin the pages are. If they are pretty thin, go for it, do your best to roll that shit tight so...hopefully, it will burn evenly on all sides when smoking and you wont get any runs. And as far as how many hits you should take. As many as you can...you got it dont you...fuckin smoke it to tha head then....ENJOY! Hope you get high...
