Filter or no filter

Well I'm the only one I know that uses a roach so I've smoked a lot more un filtered joints then ones with. I've never tried to use a cig filter

 

I use a crutch because it helps with being able to smoke the whole joint. I've never used a cig filter because I've read that it takes away some of the good stuff in the weed

 

The notecard method

 

i smoked a cig joint once without taking the filter out, didnt get high. ive never used a filter intentionally, unless you count a little piece of the pack used as a roach.

 

roach. i dont see the point of not using one.

 

roach all day, why would you use a filter? Surely it will 'filter' out some of the good shit.

 

So a roach is another term for a filter? (the non-cig kind. one we all know. rolled up piece of paper/cardboard)

Posts like this throw me off. Is everyone interpreting a filter as a cig filter and calling them roaches? Local terms I guess.

 

I always use roaches in my joints. Something to hold, get a better hit, and can smoke majority of the bud.

 

always filter. everytime i smoke without a filter it ends up getting soaked and it gets harder to pull and filters help me roll easier

 

Same here, it's really big in Canada to put a rolled up piece of cardboard in the end of your joints. In fact that's how I learned to roll. It makes it way easier to smoke, and you're not spitting out weed crumbs when you smoke it. The best part of a cigarette pack to use is the sides of the inside part. We call them "wings" around here. "Hey throw me a wing off your smoke pack, I need filter for a joint"

 

I do sometimes, I was using heavy paper so I could smoke more of it. Now I don't mostly because while teaching my girl to roll joints she gave up and got a rolling machine.

 

I roll a filter up (aka a roach, crutch, tip whatever) if I am rolling a joint to smoke with friends just because its nicer to pass around and the roach doesnt get soaked. If I'm in a hurry or just rolling a small one to myself I don't bother. IMO Joints with filters smoke much differently than ones without. Not better or worse but I notice a definite difference in how the hits feel. Anyone else find that?
