Slog - Comments on "Marijana cigarettes are called joints. One that has been partly smoked is called a 'roach.'" http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/10/marijana_cigarettes_are_called_joints_on Some good advice for cops looking to bust dopers, circa 1963. Via AdFreak.com.... Copyright 2008 Mon, 01 Oct 2007 16:24:12 -0800 Wed, 03 Oct 2007 13:55:59 -0800 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=3.34 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Comment by Mr. Poe Joints. It's a waste of pot to fill a joint with dank. Joints are for schwag, and nobody buys schwag for joints anymore. If you're going to be at some public event, or simply in public, just fire up the bowl and blaze on the sidewalk. Nobody is going to care, and you will be totally fine. There is no reason for jointery [sic]. Ever. Schwag is for brownies and other social confectioneries.

Oh, and blunts are retarded. Stop acting like you're cool. Preaze.

Joints are massively wasteful. You lose probably half of your material in the effort. Totally lame and passe'. Still in major use in Europe, where the nicotine-addicted sprinkle a tiny amount of green in with the brown death-leaves. Nauseating to me....

Considering both the cost and efficacy of today's weed, why anyone would waste significant quantities of it by just letting it burn away uninhaled doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Besides, that's why one-hitters were invented.

A bong, or a pipe? Please advise.

Amen, son.

Bong. Then pipe. If you need to resort to papers, it should only be in a moment where Bible pages is the only available option. That is all. Thank you.

Pipes are fuckin' gross. Suckin' in butane and God knows what chemicals the crappy pipe you bought is made of and loading up yer gonna-be-drooling-in-a-minute-giant-hairy-bud and suckin' it all through a metal mesh screen? Why even leave the house?

Shake is civilized. Have a few hits, a few beers, be social. Besides, why carry drug paraphernalia on your person if you don't have too?

Some of us attend a fair amount of social gatherings that have resulted in the leading to of what is commonly known as the conversation stimulator. It works wonders. And it costs more than a little shake in the cigy-digy. Trust me...once you meet Janeane Garofalo, you shall fully understand.

Seems like joints are a generational thing; my oldster friends (50+) all love their doobies.

I'm a fan of the one-hitter that looks like a cigarette. When I'm out socializing, no one bats an eye if I duck into an alley to light up. And inside, I just pretend I'm smoking to look cool.

Well, that and for smoking when walking down the street, cuz smokin a d00b while walking down Broadway on the way to Indian food is pretty awesome.

Hey. Did anyone notice they said hash will lead pot smokers into the world of hard drugs? Today's drug warriors don't make that distinction any more, but back then there was a difference between hard and soft drugs.

I've had pretty consistent access to a vaporizer for the last couple months and it's quite possibly my favorite invention ever. Bongs are good and all, but the vaporizer's just so damn easy. Don't mind a pipe for outings and I have to admit that a good joint is nice on occasion, just for a change of pace.

However, the video was very educational. I've only tried hash once in Ireland, and I didn't understand why the girl scraped so little off into her cigarette. Now I know.

Also, do people really miss seeds? I thought taking out the stems and seeds were like...rolling 101.
