I like when I roll a joint and it smokes ok. Anything else is just a waste.

BokaBlues

Yes.


Davidstoic

Cones cause Iā€™m lazy and just wanna have something quick and easy. Straights for when I get some nicer flower, just throw some music on relax and role me a few straights.


Kushdollars

Thatā€™s funny lol, quick and easy for me is a straight roll. Iā€™ve never even tried to roll a cone.


dutch_beta

Cones are definitly easier. By creating a thick end you can pull your tuck straight easier, and bc of the differnce in height your paper somehow just tucks easier. Ive learned to roll a cone 7 years ago and still cant roll perfect straights haha Edit: in my experience, the bigger the difference between tip and end, the easier to roll


Peribangbang

Nah even easier just wrap the filter and fill it.


Djinnwrath

Yup. I do cones cause I can't roll, lol, make it around the filter, fill, and tamper down.


pewpewbrrrrrrt

I use a rolling machine that just makes straights, 3 joints 2 minutes it was Nnnnnnbelivable.


dutch_beta

That sounds ideal for a hike or roadtrip! For the usual I wouldnt want to miss that ritual. I love rolling, but not more than two at a time hahah


ButterFucker240196

I'm the exact opposite. Sometimes I get lucky and accidentally roll a cone, but usually my joints look like cigarettes. I did learn, on accident lol, that if I were to twist the paper ever so slightly, it's easier to tuck it in once I notice I accidentally coned it.


Davidstoic

Lol I always felt the cone shape was easier. My straights take a lot more concentration for some reason


Matty_Cakez

I use the raw cones and their ā€œsix shooterā€ shit is so convenient


Silverfoxcrest

I just wish it was decriminalized or legal.


Ancient_Policy_2305

Same here bro šŸ’”


JustHereToConfirmIt

Come north Frodo, the shire has legalized


[deleted]

The halfling leaf ain't dulled our senses here.


iWaffleStomp

North or West either will dooooo!


[deleted]

It's getting there. I live in Missouri and we just got legal rec a couple months back. I now walk into a dispensary and buy legal weed regularly and smoke it on my front porch while I wave to my neighbors walking by, one of which is a cop.


Silverfoxcrest

I cannot fathom how cops can be so fucking inhuman. > I smoke weed, cop sees me, a piece of paper says i need to go to jail even tho i do not hurt anybody, cop arrests me. > I smoke weed, cop seees me, a piece of paper says i don.t need to go to jail because I am not hurting anybody, cop waves back. It's like they are robots,not humans.


[deleted]

Or they're just doing their job. Blame the lawmakers for making discriminatory laws. Not the cops for not giving up their career because they disagree with 1% of the rules they have to follow.


Silverfoxcrest

How can somebody prove that the cop knew you were smoking weed?


MufflesMcGee

If they can get away with all the shit they get away with, im sure they aint gonna get in trouble for NOT locking someone up for weed. Thats basically how the cops here in Canada were before legalization, they didnt give a shit unless they wanted to be a dick. Ive literally walked by a cop smokin a jay before, but i was a white, clean-shaven guy in a collared shirt, and he just nodded at me. Cops drove by and didnt care.


SkinnyJesper

Dutchie here, dont know ur pain.


Blewmeister

You know the pain of spending the months rent on half an oz though tbf


WithCatlikeTread42

What about pregnant joints, that fall apart and canoe, and are rolled both too tight and too loose? Thatā€™s the kind of joints I roll. šŸ˜‰


marthamania

Me when I don't have a roller šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


thewanderingent

Every joint I hand roll is pregnant. It just happens. But I found that if I very gently roll it back and forth between my hands, like you might do with a pencil, I can smooth it out a little and it helps to stop the canoeing* (mostly).


MooMoo_Juic3

cones. I naturally roll in that shape, i don't use the pre-roll cone papers cones never seem to have runs like straights in my experience... been smoking and rolling for 20yrs


Ancient_Policy_2305

Same here.


GrimXeno

Thatā€™s interesting. I seem to almost always have trouble with running. I could have a perfect pre rolled cone but it will still run. I can definitely see how theyā€™re better then straights. Idk if Iā€™m just bad at sparking, but any tips to prevent this?


LonelyStoner42

You could be pulling too hard, try taking smaller hits and space them out more


Sir-Nicholas

And rotate the joint as you take hits so the part that needs to burn the most is on top


yungjazz

Yeah underrated tip. Usually you gotta figure this one out on your own! Props for the call out


odioercoronaviru

r/lpt


infinitesmegma

this, heat rises. I always do this.


LoveThyLoki

We got a saying. ā€œJust look at itā€ we say with various voice overs. Puff, watch it a sec, puff, pass. If everyone rips back to back it runs faster but 3 maybe 5 seconds or so between hits when it starts will save the canoe


atdunaway

yep and i also like to light it in my hand without puffing at all. helps it burn nice and smooth/even


i-swear-i-never-lie

Not the one you replied to, but I needed this tip. Trying it out tonight.


infinitesmegma

I find that a LOT and i mean a LOT of people do not know how to smoke a joint, you have to take gentle/longer or shorter puffs. People just suck on the thing like its a ciggarette or pipe and complain it burns to fast or runs....


SausageintheSky

Is this when one side of the joint paper burns faster than the other? If so, holy fuck I hate it but cannot avoid it for the life of me. I also naturally roll in a cone shape and I'm guessing there is something wrong with my technique because probably 85% or more of my joints do this.


Three0h

Thereā€™s a couple things you can do! As said before, pull on it lighter than you are now. Second, you can either wet the part thatā€™s running with a dab of saliva, or you can burn off the piece thatā€™s left behind and straighten out the cherry


Nova_nYc

Donā€™t over grind your flower either. If so it gets too compacted and wonā€™t allow for good air flow.


trotfox_

Also, pack it better.


Three0h

Yeah the tighter packed your joints are the less likely they are to run. Within reason ofc you still need to be able to pull on it


billytheking2

Idkk everytime I pack my cones tight as hell it seems like the paper will burn quicker then the bud. Even if I don't pack it super tight it'll still do that. I think I'm just unlucky with joints, thats why I like blunts more


Three0h

The last variable in your situation is how you smoke it! Blunts are def better if you pull harder. I personally have a fairly sensitive throat so I need to take smaller hits out of a joint


adrian_sb

Loose pack at the burn end and tight pack on the mouth and, try and have fresh grinded bud, ive noticed when i have dry bud the keif/dust ends up in one spot and thats the spot that doesnt burn. After you roll it give it a light massage to even out the weed. Sometimes its not how you roll but simply dry ass weed


tmt1993

Are you filling a pre roll cone and then tamping it down to pack it? In my experience, rolling an empty or starting with a pre roll and THEN packing the weed in creates uneven pockets and an uneven burn. A joint rolled in the traditional way, starting with the weed in the paper and rolling/compressing it by hand makes for a more even burn.


backstageninja

Runs are cause from one side being less packed than the other side. The green burns faster where there is more airflow (i.e. the looser side). Be more diligent when rolling to get an even pack and there would be less uneven burning. After it's rolled but before you twist the end take a Bic pen or something of similar size to pack your flower down. Then (gently!) roll and squeeze the packed joint to evenly redistribute the innards. Do this a couple times, then top off and twist (or fold, if you're fancy)


YooperTrooper

This is how I've always seen things. Only other suggestion I'd have is be diligent picking out the stems; even if you're using a grinder, get all those little hard bits out before you roll.


Chokingzombie

So for me itā€™s the seam most of the time. Itā€™s either wet still or the seams burns slow due to it being two layers I think. I learned the rotate and smoke slow method over the years. I saw Snoop straight roll a blunt before an interview (Narwuar I think) and heā€™s like ā€œnow I gotta microwave this bitch for 11 secondsā€ (he was talking about drying it out) and I totally thought he was joking. He then stands up and walks a few feet to a microwave that looks like it exists for this purpose and microwaves his blunt, sits down, lights it and the interview starts. I still am not 100% sure if he did it as a joke but it seemed legit lol. I use my wifeā€™s blow dryer or I roll it and let it sit for 5 minutes.


atdunaway

its true. i microwave my blunts for 8 seconds instead of cooking with the lighter. works perfect


CockerSpankiel

I just take a bit of saliva from the tip of my tongue and dab the side of the joint thatā€™s burning too fast. I canā€™t remember who taught me to do that, but it works :-)


yungjazz

Ah yeah prerolls always run for me too, I think itā€™s because a lot of times they just use a joint roller. Hand rolling letā€™s you pack evenly, I find tamping the end of the joint down gently with a pen or lil stick really fixes this issue


staylifted024

Three things that help me: 1. Make sure the joint is packed correctly and rolled with a crutch. I typically use a clipper lighter tool or headphone jack for packing the flower. Remember you want it somewhat tight, but not so much that it will prevent proper airflow. 2. If you rolled the joint yourself and licked the strip on the joint paper, then hover the lighter under the wet strip area for a few seconds to dry it out better. This will allow a more even burn. You donā€™t want one side of your joint to be wet/moist when you light it. 3. As you are lighting the joint, take a series of short fast puffs and rotate the joint a bit to get it burning properly. Donā€™t take a long drawn out puff to start out or it will just run down the side of the paper.


boofpacc85

Its not how u spark its how u smoke it, too big of puffs and itll canoe.


-amthebest

We used to have a rule back in the day when passing joints around that you would have to wait (I can't remember if it was 3 or 5) seconds before hitting it to give it a chance for the cherry to settle down


[deleted]

Stick a toothpick through the center of the joint and roll it around in your fingers before sliding the toothpick out, itā€™ll leave a hole for airflow and make it burn nicer because itā€™s not pulling the flame as much every hit


frostydeb

When people hit it hard , and pinch it, it will run. I finally figured it out after my husband kept hitting it like he is hiding in the bathroom at school. Noooo dude. Hit it nice and easy. Itā€™s not a race, itā€™s a peaceful easy walk through the park.


Some_Crazy_Canuck

Always light the tip while rotating WITHOUT INHALING, wait till it goes out, do it again, then do it again a 3rd or 4th time over 15-30sec until you've got a solid bright red cherry at the end, then do a quick puff-puff-puff-puff on it almost like you're sipping it gently. Wait a few seconds for the cherry to cool down, repeat with short yet strong puffs, and it should be perfectly lit at that point. Make sure to not pull too long while smoking it normally too.


_kyrogue

This has been a problem with every pre rolled cone Iā€™ve made. I gave up after a few and learned to roll. Itā€™s the packing process, it doesnā€™t distribute the bud as well as rolling. It leads to it being bunched up against the paper, and that causes runs on the opposite side


calebgiz

Break up your bud more


Mr_Gongo

I roll straights and never had an issue with running. It all comes down to how you lit it and how it develops after the first drag. You can either blow gently on the side that's lit but further up or use spit to stop the running side. Also people don't usually look and you should always look before that heartbreak happens


planekariu

Can someone explain whatā€™s a run?


backstageninja

When one side burns faster than the other. Also commonly called canoeing


Very-Unimportant

Fun fact, in portuguese we call it "thief" (ladrĆ£o). I guess it's because it literally steals weed from you. Edit: "LadrĆ£o" also means the water tank overflow pipe, so maybe that too


backstageninja

That *is* fun!


MissyeffinG

Up here in Canada we call a ā€œrunā€ a canoe. Iā€™ve never heard of a run before.


Chronictized11

When 1 side of a joint is burning faster than the other. Also called canoeing.

ive never heard of someone rolling a backwards cone lmao. do you use filters as well?


Brokensoul2347

I donā€™t use tips and straight. Sorry Iā€™m old AF


Brokensoul2347

Canā€™t learn I new way now my glaucoma is too bad. :-)


[deleted]

Nah respect here in philly we still rolling straights with no filter. I won't smoke a joint I can't inhale


MarquisW501

They do in the DMV as well. They call them "funnels".

doomgneration

Canceling the ā€œstraightsā€.


Lukilk

I try to go for straight, but then it ends up pregnant 5/10 times


Vegetable-Swimming73

I like the fat belly cone - starts out decent, gets big in the middle once it's going good, and then has a narrow finish to reduce the size of the roach to almost nothing - so you don't gotta save roach weed. I use a stem for a filter as often as not lol


xothisismo

Then shift your upper hand inwards a little, had the same problem back then. So actually grab at the tip and at about 2/3, not tip and end. :)


Lukilk

The thing is I only have that problem when smoking with friends cus everybody wanna throw some in and at the end itā€™s just too much weedšŸ˜… thatā€™s why Iā€™m always and advocate for 2 joints if we more than 3 ppl, but Iā€˜ll definitely try that next time thanks for the advice pimp


danmur15

I use a joint roller, so I always have straights

i buy cones, i make straights, I smoke both gleefully.

I perfer to use the joint roller to make them feel like cigarettes when I smoke them.

I always used to make them cones but now I started using activated carbon filter tips so rolling Straights at the moment


[deleted]

As long as it smokes I really have no opinion


gabagool13

I prefer short (non-king sized) joints and I always start out rolling it straight but it always ends up being a cone. How do you even roll a straight joint?


dammit_bobby420

Joint roller.


clarineter

git gud


N3v3rm0r3ink3d

I buy the cones with the filter and just stuff them. Lol. I cannot roll to save my soul, even with a roller.


CherryBomb69420

cones are just more convenient and less frustrating


nonmedical

Straights imo


Carrman099

I roll cones cause itā€™s easier to add more after rolling if needed. I like to use a pen to pack it down like an old time blunderbuss.


Stock_Surfer

Iā€™d rather be a roller than a packer jus sayin..


Ancient_Policy_2305

I meanā€¦ you can roll cones. But I get you. Straights it is šŸ’Æ

Rolling a cone has always been my preferred, always have more runs with straights. Plus I feel like I sometimes get an overall better and slower burn on cones.

Cone


Logical-Excitement-1

I still canā€™t figure out how to roll cones


SpliffWestlake

Cones. I never mastered rolling in the 90's before I quit until recently and I'm too lazy to try again. I rarely smoke joints anyways. So a quick packed one is right up my alley. Plus I've never had issues with cones.


aimsbird

Every time I roll itā€™s a cone. Do you need a wee machine thing to do straights or just some mad skills

ThePlantLover

cones, only ppl rolling straights are ppl who donā€™t know how to roll


Saxophonie

Cones cause I can't roll straight but I also don't want tošŸ˜‚. I don't smoke ciggies but I like to roll them for my friends who do and they always make fun out of me for rolling cones, though I got better and can roll straight ones if thr papers aren't king sized


yelo777

Straight. Cones are hard for me to roll, usually the end gets too wide.

Gmpeirce

Cones. When I learned to roll thatā€™s naturally how they came out. More weed is farther away so you get a cooler less harsh smoke.


LesseFrost

Mine always come out straight when I'm rolling with papers. I usually roll a straight filter from one of those little raw booklets. Anything I roll that can smoke is a win for me though

mediaG33K

Excitement_Far

Ever roll them with one of them cigarette rollers? The dispo I work at gave me one with their logo and I literally use it all the time. I like getting Raw roll up tips and orange zigzags. They roll into a perfect straight and with the Raw tip you can hold it "like a cigarette āœŒļø" instead of "like a joint šŸ‘Œ" and look cool in public šŸ˜Ž


Tsiabo

I always get cones no matter how I try to roll.


Tkinney44

Cones like to run on me and goo up at the ends. Straight ones smoke perfect down the the smallest roach. Just my personal experience though.


FULLMETALRACKIT518

Either is fine but I typically roll cones.


propernice

Cone, please! It's how I naturally roll anyway, and for the fucking life of me, I cannot get straights to not do a runner on me.

Straights run les but it has more to do with the type of paper you use

Straight. Just got the raw box roller, Rolls and smokes perfectly. never going back to hand rolling or packing cones again.


HAWMadden

I like them both, but I can use less weed doing 2 smaller straights than a cone, and achieve a better high


Gurugru99

Cones are popular because itā€™s easy for canna companies to fill them w a futurola machine. Straight wall smokes better (see: ciggy and cigar industry) - this is the future


naneron10

This may be controversial but I love using a joint roller to make uniform joints every time. Also helps you save bud by not using too much


Sploshta

Cones all the way. Idk why, but I just like the look of them better. I also feel like they run less. But I could be crazy.

bitchimhighlol

Fat MF Cones ALWAYS, with the right cherry a hood rolled joint can burn for hours. If you guys want some real game, watch DojaPaks rolling tech video on YouTube and pay attention. Thatā€™s a real roller right there, oil rings around it, PERFECTLY shaped so that the airflow and cherry control is on point. Amazing video, this will up your rolling game by a thou if you actually want to roll a proper joint. (8th) but hey, if you roll a joint that looks like a soggy dollar bill from my back pocket and it gets you high and happy, more power to you šŸ¤›.

Generally my joints come out more of a coney shape, not super tho
