i rolled with a crutch for a little while, didn't really get used to it and then moved away from paper to glass. recently a friend traded me the "connoisseur" pack of raw papers which come with a book of tips so i've been using them quite a bit. i don't think i'll go back to regular joints. it's almost easier to roll with a crutch now that i've gotten used to it and this way i don't have roaches piling up as i can just smoke em down to the filter and toss it. depending on how many people are smoking/how froggy i'm feelin i'll either put about .5g in a 1 1/4 size or a gram+ in a king
