The term “pinner” is in reference to a sewing pin and applies to any small, tightly rolled joint that is thin and straight, unlike most joints that are bigger and rolled into cones. Stinks something awful.A pinner is slang for a small, thin joint. Roach: The itty-bitty burnt end of a roach. Usually a piece of a business card or the rolling paper packaging. Be it crucifix, windmill, diamond, or French braid, it usually means some kind of rolling mastery and having too much cannabis around.įilter: The end part of the joint that adds structure and a convenient holding place. Twax: Verb coating your rolling paper in cannabis oil or other concentrate before using them.Ĭross Joint: Adding joints to another joint to build…something. Spliff: Combination of loose tobacco and cannabis rolled in a regular rolling paper.īlunt: Cannabis inside, cigar paper outer. The majority of pre-rolled joints are cones, and you can buy empty cones for loading as well. a chonger, a bomber, a Bob Marley, a bat.Ĭone: Referring to the shape. Rolled using oversized papers or gluing a few together. J, doobie (or just doob), reefer, jazz cigarette, Thai stick, twizzler, twist, puff, smoke.įatty: Because it’s a fat joint, dude. Pinner: Because it’s the size of a pin, silly. Find a paper for yourself that works and you can say the same thing. You can say it’s splitting hairs to worry about the paper quality and disregard the fact that I’m smoking something, but hey - joint rule. My rolling technique needed to adapt to each paper’s idiosyncrasies, but after a few tries I barely noticed and I’m now leaning towards the Pure Hemp papers.Īn important factor to remember is that the papers you buy from a head shop will be designed for smoking cannabis and offer a better experience than a paper that originated with tobacco. Less ash and an almost total absence of taste except for the strain’s flavour were the first things I noticed the second was that these papers burned slower, which I attributed to the cannabis drawing the ember, rather than the paper.

I used the same strain for each joint, and in each case, the new paper outperformed the Zig-Zags. Going ahead with my, um, testing, I was pleasantly surprised by each brand that I tried. That left me with a few reputable alternatives: an unbleached Zig-Zag for comparison, a rice paper (Elements), a hemp paper (Pure Hemp), and an unbleached plant fibre paper (Raw). Personally, I disregarded the flavoured papers, clear cellulose papers, the 24-karat-gold papers, and anything bigger than a regular joint size (1-1/4”). If 60+ styles of rolling paper sound intimidating, just ask for help, and know that not everything is going to be appealing. We are not suffering from a lack of alternatives just check your local head shop. Needless to say this is an environmentally harmful practice, and really does your body no benefits either. The bleaching process introduces chemicals like chlorine and calcium carbonate (read: bad stuff) to change the colour of the paper and increase its tensile strength. Even if I disregarded the taste and the chunks of ash floating around, Zig-Zags use a mixture of wood pulp and flax that’s bleached. Eventually I switched to the Whites, which is a lighter paper but still offers the same features… and drawbacks. The cut-corners make your rolling easier, the glue is dependable, and the thick paper resists tearing.

The attraction of Zig-Zags is that they’re cheap and available everywhere. Having a variety of strains, though, made me wonder if using different rolling papers would change my smoking experience.

Some OCS brands have started offering fresher (or better cured) cannabis, so I was delighted to get back to rolling my own. However, even with the added convenience, I was disappointed with my findings. I had found OCS cannabis to be incredibly dry and difficult to roll with, so I was hoping pre-rolleds would be my solution. Last winter I investigated what pre-rolled joints were available through the Ontario Cannabis Store.
