There isn't really a proper way, it's just what way people find best for themselves. If you find lighting it 1/4 inch away from the joint the best way to get an even burn, stick with that. Experiment and find which you way you find most preferable.
Shrapnel Reviewed by Shrapnel on . Proper way to light a joint I have a question regarding the proper way (if there is one) to light a joint. I usually smoke out of a pipe or a bong, and the weed I get tends to be rather dense and sticky. I don't smoke joints very often, but once in a while I like to try something different for variety's sake. Since I've been rolling ciggerretes for several years now, I've got a pretty good handle on rolling properly. However, I noticed that when I roll a joint with just weed, I need to light it like you would light Rating: 5
