I learned how to roll cone joints in late 80s early 90s Paris. I can do a standard L shape collage, fit the cardboard filter made from a cigarette pack top or a metro ticket, and roll a pretty well shaped cone. But really, it’s a pain in the ass, and I much much prefer to use these pre rolled cones. Nothing wrong with that.

It is unnecessary to tell us how shocked and/or disapproving you are to find marijuana and other drug culture content on Boing Boing.

I always used to use a little rolling machine that looked like this :

I don’t think they had these cone things back then. What’s the advantage?

I always saw those cone joints in European blogs, and thought they were pretty cool. But I prefer to smoke out of pipe because it’s more cost effective. When I do roll a joint, I just glue two papers together, and roll em up. I don’t need no cardboard roach end, I just make sure to keep the airway unimpeded (that’s also why God invented paper clips… at least that’s just what I assumed).

Anyhow, I bought some pre-rolled down at the cannabis store, and lo and behold, they’re big cone joints!

When I was kid, all the liquor stores sold these. It wasn’t until I was in college that I finally figured out what they were for.

Will I get in trouble for suggesting that the British “99 Flake” is 1 better?

I must be tired. Briefly, I thought this was a post about home improvement. I thought, “Joints in what? Doors?” sigh

Honest question, as well: do cones burn more easily or offer a smoking advantage to skinny-cigar-shaped hand-rolls? I noticed that all of the pre-rolls in Amsterdam were cone-shaped.

…why do most people still smoke cannabis when great vaporizers are so readily available? Smoking is unhealthy, unclean, and inefficient - what are the advantages? (Serious question, not trying to be sanctimonious here. My lungs can’t handle smoke, they can barely handle vapor, so if smoking is more pleasant in some way I wouldn’t know.)

I never see commercial “rolled” joints, just cones. I think the taper may allow for less running of the burning material?

You’re not the only one.

I was like “is this some sort of wood putty dispenser? Like an for for cake icing, but silicone?”

ooooohh. No.
