    Okay, I work at a gas station third shift, but most of you already know that due to my older posts. I notice more, and more people come into the store to buy cigars. When I was younger (BACK IN MY DAY) (I'm 28) I always used rolling papers, and pipes (some of which were homemade), but now everyone wants to smoke in cigar papers.

    I finally asked a person one day.. "Why not just get a pipe or rolling papers? They'd save you money in the long run." The response really made me go :confused: His response was "It makes it taste good."

    Please forum. Correct me if I'm wrong. I want to be corrected if I'm not saying the truth. Doesn't weed taste good all by itself?? That sweet green taste. So this is what I gather, and I may be hard on this newer generation, but here it goes.

    Do they like to smoke it because all their friends do it? If weed wasn't the in 'thing' would as many people pack a cigar full of the icky sticky? These are just some of the thoughts that run through my head.

    I love you forum, and thanks for listening (reading) my random rants.

    I usually get blunt wraps because they make it taste good and i get a tobacco "rush" when i smoke one

    It depends on the kind of weed you're smoking. I don't prefer blunts, but if I've got crappy weed, or if there's a bunch of people all trying to smoke at once, it's convenient. I would always rather take one massive bong rip if I'm alone.

    Hey man the sample size is too small and not a good representation of the whole population. Therefore, resulting in data that isn't valid enough to draw a conclusion as to why these kids do it. :bongin: btw bowls all day errday.

    Actually, I do think that's the reason. All the kids hear about blunts from music and movies and whatever so naturally they want to smoke them. But the people that say it improves the taste are jokesters because adding tobacco to cannabis only takes away from the taste. I'll admit I don't mind smoking one occasionally, but anyone claiming blunts taste better than joints needs to get their taste buds re-evaluated...

    I'm not old and I don't know about kids these days but my friends and I always switch it up, and even to this day I have pipes, bubblers, a bong, a steamroller, and always at least 3 packs of papers and 1 pack of tobacco wraps.

    When you have smoked enough weed you realize each sack has a different perfect method, some bud is dry as hell and a bitch to smoke out of a pipe, other bud has compact nugs with great moisture which would be perfect for rolling. I see every bag of Jane the same way as I see women. Yeah you can do the same thing repeatedly and get satisfaction out of it, but to get the most satisfaction you need to change it up and tailor your solutions to the problem (female, or bud) at hand.

    I have never smoked a blunt. People don't really do it in the UK and the stuff I buy is way too expensive to fill a whole blunt with.

    It all comes down to preferences really. I don't like tobacco and therefore hardly ever mix with tobacco or blunt wraps, I'd much, much rather smoke a pure bowl from a pipe or bong and save the paper for another time when a pipe isn't as convenient (but it usually is just as easy).

    of course the taste of the sweet green tastes mean through glass thats clean! but remember, different strokes for different folks, personal preference, what makes me itch makes you scratch, etc. some people enjoy the taste of blunts, others dont. its what makes the world go round, i guess.

    i personally enjoy a grape swisher or backwoods from time to time, but it is not my "go-to" method, as i prefer glass over anything.

    Let them smoke what they want? I mean if they are really engrained in the canibus culture they will switch up sooner or later their still kids and learning we all start up with something. I started off with nothing but blunt wraps and acrylic bongs. I have come up a long way, just let them enjoy their journey

    Last night me and 5 friends each had personal blunts to the face. I'm regretting it now though, it definently get me as high as I thought it would.

    Blunts are nice cause they burn slow and keep the rotation going, but I don't mind Joints though.

    It's simple. Rappers dominate the popular weed scene now. If rappers aren't rapping about joints, they're rapping about blunts. That's why rolls have become so popular. Me, personally I hate blunts. People always get their spit all over them and then I have to have their spitty wrap in my mouth and thats just vile.

    I hate smoking blunts and going in to buy them. They know what you're buying them for.... Especially if you're in a hurry...
     
  18. #18 snoogans2, Sep 17, 2011
    why do you care so much? people like to smoke their own way.
