i'm in the area with the steel that never rusted
I was reading the thread about blunts and health, and somebody mentioned that they enjoyed hearing about different ways of smoking. That made me think of an interesting alternative to joint papers or blunts - onion skins.

All you have to do is take the outer skin, and tear a uniform piece as large as your normal papers / blunt, blow on it for some moisture and roll it like anything else.

It burns just as slow as a joint if not slower, and gives a nice neutral flavor. Doesn't taste like onions at all for those of you wondering.

I'm sure some of you have heard of this, but it seems like a lot of people don't know.
 
hmm thats pretty interesting sir

i might try it tonight if i have any onions lol
 
Um...interesting. How does is stick together? Does the onion skin seem to hold together well as you burn it down and does it burn nice and even all the way through?
 
Thing is though anytime you handle your onionspliff youri ndanger of rubing that shit into your eyes.

That'll piss on your chips.

Why choose this over rillos? or papers?

Eat it. Make salad or w/e. No reason why this is "superior", people just like alternatives. Maybe one night you will be stuck at home with a vidalia and no papers =D

@muncheez yes it burns very even, you just use heat and saliva to make it stick like ungummed rolling papers.
 
I don't think I would try an onion peel unless I was in a bind, but I have a glass bowl, glass bubbler and always have papers on hand..so I don't think I will have to resort to onion peels anytime soon...haha.... pretty interesting idea though, I never would have thought of using an onion peel to roll anything!! I hate peeling onions as it is HAHA.
 
I've smoked a blunt rolled in cellophane and it tasted better than any blunt I've smoked before. I hate the smell of raw onions, smoking the skin sounds pretty gross.
 
my current bong is a sobe bottle thats perfectly shaped (the shape can make it harder or easier to clear a bong, like a powerade bottle is shaped odd so its hard to clear in one hit. the sobe bottle is smaller rounder, so its like a bong, and very easy to clear).

poked a hole in it with a coat hanger that I had cut with pliers and been using as a pinch hitter push to clean it out when its clogged. and then held a lighter to it to melt the hole a little bigger, to where it was just under the size of a sharpie body (what I use as a down tube) and while the plastic is still hot and moldable I shove it in there so its somewhat tight around it (still not airtight) and I angle it upwards while the plastic is still hot, that way the tube sits at an angle when plastic hardens (what you want) and then I put chewed bubblegum around the downtube and made it look pretty and not like chewed up gum, and then it dries and its not sticky or anything, and air-tight.
then I just put an o-ring around my pinch hitter and use that, or I've got a tapered tube that I've affixed a metal pipe bowl to the top of and use that sometimes. works as good, if not better than actual bongs I've bought at stores. highly prefer the pull-chokes rather than the ones that have the fixed bowl with the carb in the back of the bong. so hard to clear those without re-sparking the bowl.
 
would seem hard to get an onion peel to stay together but makes sense old bible paper is onion paper and makes great papers my fav part to use

Revelation 22:19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and the things which are written in this book.
 
I've never used bible paper, but I have noticed that they usually come with a few pages that are blank in the beginning or back.

also, I think bible paper is rather thin. just go get some orange JOB's. (my personal fav, they roll so good, if you notice the paper has little lines in it that I think help form the roundness of it, as I always kind of fold it over and rub it together that way before putting any weed in to get the shape of it going) cut a small piece of the rolling paper cardboard off, roll it up to make a filter, and then roll a cone shape (they always come out cone shape if I roll it with a filter).
 
I sometimes use my glass blunt. The best part isn't just that it is glass so you don't get the paper taste, but once you have pushed the "plunger" in far enough you can place it within the stem of my bong and take bong rips. Pretty neat invention. Not as harsh (but still a tad harsh), but same kind of feel.
 
by glass blunt, do you mean like a chillum? a glass straight hitter? pretty much a giant pinch hitter, its like a pinch hitter but has a normal sized bowl and matching width down it.

It's like a one-hitter but you get way more than one hit off them.

Onions skin would work fine, if you could use a razor blade to separate the skin (which is cellulose btw) into a joint sized section.

In Biology I tried to see how large of a section of onion skin I could cut away from the onion itself, not large enough to roll a joint. Maybe someone with better hand-eye coordination could do it though.

If done correctly its thinner than any paper or cellulose paper.
