Joints vs Blunts

personally I think blunts are gross. They smell like shit, and they dont taste as good as the weed, they are much worse for your lungs than a rolling paper is (whether its a blunt wrap or a blunt), also blunts always give you more of a 'couch lock' kinda sedated super STONED high. I like getting HIGH, not stoned. I wanna go do shit and have fun while I'm high, not sit around and do nothing but think about how high I am. Also blunts make me feel groggy and dirty; and sometimes they give me headaches.

All in all, I am NOT a blunt fan.

Speak for yourself - coz you didn't - blunts get me hella fuckin high - I'll smoke a part of a blunt and go raving, with it behind my ear forrealz. All depends on your temperament imo.
 
Joints suck, imo. They burn way faster than blunts, and don't burn as evenly. I've rolled maybe 150 Grape Swishers, and maybe 5-10 joints.

I grew out of blunts. though, since I'm not balling out of control or anything, and all the weed I smoke is top-shelf medical weed, which can cost a pretty penny compared to mids and shwag.
 
I never roll joints, it's a waste of stuff in my opinion. Otherwise it depends what I smoke. Because if it's hashish, then I like to mix it with tobacco and let the experience grow gradually, especially when I'm not alone (well, I'm mostly alone...). If it's straight marihuana, then I simply use pipes. They're the best way to get the most of what you've got.

Well, generally I take a rolling paper when it's not about attaining high right off but joints and blunts lose with smoking a pipe, they make you lose material.
 
Never tried a blunt, been years since I smoked weed (my job)
But when I retire, well, lets just say I'm gonna make up for lost time.
I've always rolled joints, if not a pipe.
Used a green bean once (picking beans, used tinfoil) it worked.
I havnt a clue about different strains, and effects from them.
Gonna be fun to figure it out.
 
Well, you can't say what strain you're smoking when you buy from a dealer. I would always hear "it's from Holland" in London and I'm 99% sure that the stuff didn't really come from the Netherlands but it was grown in the UK, they were simply strains that can contain up to ~20% of THC. But a lot of people think if weed is from Holland, it's strong, so it's a good way to sell your product.
 
Personally I prefer joints to blunts, but blunts are definately nice on occassion. Blunts aren't smoked commonly in Australia at all, and to my knowledge blunt wraps were recently outlawed under laws against flavoured tobacco, I have never actually seen somebody gut a cigar and then roll a blunt that way so these laws have pretty much eliminated blunt smoking from what I can tell. Joints are also uncommon, especially among younger smokers, as bongs tend to be the way the overwhelming majority smoke their weed but joints are still much more common than blunts.

I like joints more because I find the addition of cigarette tobacco smooths the hits and tastes better than the artificial sweetness of blunt wraps. Joints are also more customisable, by that I mean you can roll a greater variety of shapes and sizes. You can't really roll .4 into a nice blunt but if its nice weed; a pinch of tobacco, a rolling paper and a strip of cardboard is all you need to have a pleasant little smoke.
 
you can put .4 in a blunt it would just be kind of smallish, pretty much the size of a regular joint actually.
 
Protip: when rolling small blunts, always sacrifice in terms of length, not width.

A gram fits perfectly in a Swisher Sweet. If you're going to roll with .5, just cut the blunt in half, so you have short blunt, not a skinny one.
 
Its pretty obvious you could cut a blunt wrap in half, but they aren't super cheap and I have always felt it the best use of them to actually fill them, to each their own however.

Shimazu I don't know how large the average joint you or your friends smoke, but I would consider .4 to be on the small side of a spliff and that is accounting for the addition of tobacco in there which obviously makes it a fair bit larger than .4 of weed rolled on its own...
 
I prefer joints since I wan't to be able to taste the weed. Blunts are still nice though but I don't smoke them much since I have never been a tobaco smoker.

My opinion? Bad advice. Roll it long, tight and skinny and it'll burn slower and more evenly... roll it short, tight and fat and you'll likely have to deal with runs for the entire duration of the shortened session.

0.5g of loud = 1 blunt = dimesack around these parts

Sure, lots of people roll around a G to 2 in a single dutch, but the average smoker who goes from session to session is grabbin' a single J and puttin' it in the air, and repeating when it's time for the next one.... again, though, that's around southern MD.

[Edit: just a little visual confirmation:

0.5g of Strawberry Cough rolled up in a strawberry Dutch cigarillo. It's nothing impressive, but it sure enough is a blunt's worth of bud and it sure enough will get a single person high.

IMO, there is no point in rolling up unless your smoking more than a gram. Just throw it in a bong, shit.

It's hard to walk around hitting a bong, playa. I can't smoke in the apartment anymore... the whole hallway gets danked the fuck out no matter what I do to prevent it. I just twist one up and hit the sidewalk for 20-30min.
 
I can see Jibult's point. If he carried a pipe with him he'd still have paraphernalia on him after he finished smoking.
Although I can't say the idea of walking around my neighborhood every time I want to get high(a lot of the fucking time btw) excites me. :\ Methinks you're bound to run into trouble eventually.

Does it really take you 20-30 minutes to smoke a joint btw?

I like joints when I have some really good bud, but for mids or reggie I would rather roll a blunt. Joints allow you to taste the weed, wheras I think blunts kinda mask the taste and are somewhat harsh (white owl white grape is what I roll with). Right now I got some good nug called sierra mist, and what doesn't get put in the bong will def. go in a zig-zag(1 1/4" slow burners).

Trouble is everywhere. Yeah, I run a risk of walking into a couple officers on bikes or foot patrolling the neighborhood at night, but it's no problem to eat a blunt. I figure my chances are better outside the building with just a little smoke on me instead of inside my apartment with neighbors that've threatened to call police if they smell weed in the hallway again. Outside, it's just me and my J... inside, it's my entire house and smoke stash. I'd rather not have police come to my door for a complaint, smell smoke outside my door and then start an investigation.


But yeah, blunts typically burn for a good half hour for me. A g+ would normally stay lit for close to 40min. If I'm really tryin' to burn one as quick as possible I'll just chief the fuck out of it and 0.5g dutch'd be gone in 10-15min, but I'm normally laid back about it. I don't like facing/doming shit like that anymore... it's too harsh on the lungs/throat for me to have every inhalation during a session being weed smoke, lol.
