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
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
Also there is charcoal filters specifically advertised for rolling joints since at least a decade. A brand populat in Germany is linked. Another populat one is called actitubes and Rolling paper companies like Gizeh also make these now.
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.
Yeah, it would be silly to try to create a strict system of binaries to describe something as complex as human beings and the constantly changing world we inhabit.
