    The two genders: cigarette and joint. Spliffs, blunts, and vapes don’t exist, you’re either a cigarette or a joint.

    That’s actually accurate in German.

    “Eine rauchen gehen” (female) - going to smoke a cigarette

    “Einen rauchen gehen” (male) - going to smoke a joint.

      The wick is just the end of the rolling paper, you twist it up so it burns more evenly. The filter is called a crutch and it’s just a piece of scrap cardboard to give you something to hold on to do so you don’t burn your fingers and lips

          It’s hilarious that you so perfectly embody the ignorant 'murican stereotype with both of your comments.

          I am from the US and joints that I roll have both a wick where the paper rolls up at the end to hold the leaf in and a crutch at the back to hold onto with your fingers. When you buy a preroll at a dispensary, they look like this as well. Where are you that these basic convenience features of pot smoking have not managed to come your way? I’ve been rolling joints like this since the 90s.

          Eh, twisting the paper actually helps, and the crutch is nice. I don’t care for smoking all the way to the end of the joint and hurting myself. What’s so bad about either of those things?

            You get all the tar and big ash particles in your lung for no reason.

            Joints hit very fast thats true. But I mean, smoking tobacco doesnt make it worse because tobacco is disgusting. But Cannabis, with all its fancy terpenes, why burn it away, turn the sensisitive terpenes into tar?

            Vaping is really great, went from pure joint (not a blunt as they use tobacco leaf as wrapper I think) to that+filter to minibong to Vape. Arizer Go, just perfect device that lasts forever and you can replace the standard size battery

      I think it’s one of those cones you stuff the weed into. The “filter” is more like a sieve to prevent doobie snacks.

        Nah, this his how joints look in Europe. Only people I’ve ever met that didn’t roll like this were Americans.

          I don’t understand how a joint would work without a filter? And no twist at the end? Do they just leave it open?

            They use the small papers and just leave a tiny little space at the end where the filter would usually go, and it just gets all smashed down and soggy. That’s why people used to use “roach clips” because the end of the joint would be a soggy, tarry mess that you couldn’t hold on to. I don’t know why anyone who’s ever smoked one of those shitty little joints would ever insist they’re superior to one with a cardboard filter in any way.

              My parents used to use Roach clips and swear that it is “good enough” but whenever I roll for them they get filters.
