When it comes to your free time, the chances are that you won’t want to spend it rolling your next joint, when instead, you could be putting something good on TV, preparing a selection of snacks, or switching your phone to Do Not Disturb ready for a little smoking session. Fortunately, there are ways to save yourself time and hassle, and one of these is by rolling up a joint (or five). In this guide, we’ll be taking a look at the benefits of doing so and the types of paper to use.
What is Rolling Paper?
Just for the beginners out there, RAW rolling papers are thin sheets used to roll up joints and tobacco in general. They come in different sizes, allowing you to choose the length that’s ideal for your preference – and there are several unique types of paper that you can choose, too.
Why Pre-Roll a Joint?
There are many reasons why you might want to pre-roll your next joint or even an entire batch. The main one is to save time, as imagine knowing that when you’ve finished work for the day, you’ll have a joint sitting on a shelf or tucked neatly away in a drawer waiting for you when you get home. If you’re having guests over, you’ll likely have to spend a chunk of time rolling up, especially if you are having a joint each and this is why pre-rolling can be so beneficial.
How to Prepare for Rolling
Whether you live in an apartment, a house, or if you’re renting a holiday home – making sure that you have a dedicated space for rolling won’t just help to save time, it can actually reduce the risk of contaminants and even offer a little extra privacy if needed. Smokers have different techniques, but most will need a clean, flat surface, free from fans and open windows, as well as a comfortable seat to get rolling.
Which Paper Should You Choose?
This is where the experience really gets interesting. One of the most enjoyable aspects of rolling a joint isn’t just the high once you’re smoking – it’s the ability to customize your experience. If you prefer a more traditional approach, why not go for a classic paper in a size that suits you?
Maybe you want a little more kick and taste to your next joint? If this sounds like you, hemp paper (made from naturally derived hemp materials) could be the way to go. Make sure that you opt for an organic hemp paper, otherwise you could end up adding unwanted chemicals to your smoking session. There is even rice paper, which is thin, durable, and adds a little more exclusivity to your experience.
However you prefer to enjoy your next joint, we hope that you’ve found our guide helpful – and remember to always smoke safely in a controlled, secure environment where you can sit back, puff away, and relax to your heart’s content.
