How to roll a joint with a filter or crutch
Gather your materials
· Rolling papers
· Ground cannabis
· Grinder (optional)
Prepare your cannabis
Use a grinder or your fingers to break down your cannabis into smaller, even pieces. This helps ensure a consistent burn and optimal airflow.
Prepare the joint
Place a filter tip or crutch at one end of the rolling paper (opposite the gummed edge). This will serve as a mouthpiece and provide stability to the joint.
Fill and shape the joint
Hold the rolling paper with the adhesive side facing you. Then distribute the ground marijuana evenly along the length of the rolling paper, ensuring it’s slightly thicker in the middle and tapered towards the ends.
Use your fingertips to shape the cannabis into a cylindrical form, gently tamping it down for compact, but even distribution.
Roll the joint
Starting from the end closest to you, use your thumbs and index fingers to roll the paper back and forth, tucking it under the cannabis. Apply light pressure to form a cylinder shape. Then, lick the adhesive edge of the rolling paper and continue rolling until the joint is fully sealed.
Finish and light
Gently pack the open end of the joint to ensure an even burn and proper airflow. Use a lighter or a hemp wick to ignite the end of the joint while inhaling from the mouthpiece.
Rotate the joint as you inhale to ensure an even burn.
A smoking technique that involves rolling ground cannabis into a wrap. Blunts are larger than regular joints, allowing for a larger amount of marijuana to be rolled. This can result in a more potent smoking experience, delivering stronger effects. The larger size also makes them ideal for sharing.
When it comes to blunts, you have options when it comes to the wrap you select—and not all blunts are created equally. We encourage you to skip tobacco products that can potentially harm your health, and choose wraps made from hemp and herbal alternatives instead.
Blunts are known for their slow and even burn. Blunts tend to burn slower than traditional rolling papers, providing a longer-lasting smoking session.
How to roll a blunt
Gather your materials
· Wrap
· Ground cannabis
· Grinder (optional)
· Small knife or scissors
Grind and fill the blunt
Use a grinder (or your fingers) to break down your buds into smaller, even pieces. Sprinkle the ground cannabis evenly along the length of the blunt wrap, leaving some space at both ends for sealing.
Shape and pack
Using your fingers, gently shape and pack the cannabis inside the blunt wrap, ensuring an even distribution. Avoid overpacking to prevent the blunt from becoming too tight, which could impede airflow.
Finish and light
Use your fingers to gently shape the blunt into an even cylinder. Once you’re satisfied with the shape, you can carefully light the end of the blunt and enjoy your smoke.
Practice makes perfect when it comes to rolling blunts. With time and patience, you’ll become more skilled at rolling tight and well-formed blunts. Want to get right to smoking? You can also find pre-rolled blunt options.
A vaporizer, commonly known as a vape pen or vape device, is an electronic device used to heat cannabis or cannabis concentrates to a temperature that releases the active compounds as vapor. Unlike smoking, which involves combustion and produces smoke, vaporizers create inhalable vapor, for a healthier, cleaner and more discreet method of cannabis consumption.
How to use a vaporizer
Using a vaporizer may vary depending on the specific device, so it’s crucial to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Read the instructions
Familiarize yourself with the specific features, controls, and safety guidelines of your vaporizer. Each device may have unique instructions and settings.
Charge the battery
Ensure your vaporizer is charged and ready for use. Connect it to a power source as per the manufacturer’s instructions and allow it to charge fully.
Prepare your cannabis
If using loose leaf cannabis, grind it to a medium-fine consistency. This helps promote even vaporization.
Load the vaporizer
Open the chamber or cartridge of your vaporizer and carefully place the ground cannabis or cannabis concentrate carts inside, following the device’s instructions. Avoid overpacking to maintain proper airflow.
Adjust the temperature (if applicable)
If your vaporizer has temperature control, select your desired temperature. Lower temperatures often result in more flavorful and aromatic vapor, while higher temperatures may produce denser vapor.
Activate the vaporizer
Depending on your device, you may need to press a button or inhale from the mouthpiece to activate the heating element. Refer to the instructions to understand how to initiate the vaporization process.
Inhale
Once the vaporizer has reached the desired temperature, inhale gently from the mouthpiece. Take short and controlled draws, allowing the vapor to enter your lungs. Some vape pens can overheat if you take long draws, so be sure to check the instructions on your device.
Monitor and adjust
Observe the vapor production and adjust your draw speed or temperature setting to find your preferred balance of flavor, vapor density, and effects.
Power down and clean
Once you’ve finished your session, power down the vaporizer as instructed by the manufacturer. And, of course, keep it clean to keep it running smoothly.
A hand pipe, also known as a spoon pipe or a bowl, is a simple, discreet, and portable device that fits comfortably in one hand. It usually has a bowl for the cannabis, a carburetor (or carb) to control airflow, and a mouthpiece for inhalation.
Hand pipes are designed to hold a small amount of cannabis, which allows for controlled and precise dosing. Nice for everyone—great for people who are newer to marijuana.
How to use a hand pipe
Get your cannabis ready
Use a grinder or break down your cannabis into smaller pieces using your fingers. This helps ensure an even burn and optimal airflow.
Pack the bowl
Load your cannabis into the bowl. Try not to overpack, because you need air to flow through.
Ignite and inhale
With the mouthpiece near your lips, use a lighter or a hemp wick to ignite the cannabis in the bowl as you inhale gently. Rotate the lighter or hemp wick around the bowl to ensure you’re smoking the green, not relighting the charred cannabis over and over.
Control the carb
As you continue inhaling, release your thumb or finger from the carb to allow fresh air to mix with the smoke, enhancing the airflow and clearing the chamber.
Exhale and enjoy
Once you’ve taken in enough smoke, remove the flame and set the hand pipe aside. Exhale and enjoy the effects of your smoke. Tip: you DO NOT have to hold the smoke in to absorb more THC.
Remember to clean your hand pipe regularly to remove potentially harmful resin and to maintain optimal performance and flavor. Pipe cleaners are great for removing residue and ash.
A water pipe consists of a chamber filled with water that cools and filters the smoke before inhalation, providing a smooth smoking experience. While filtering out unwanted elements, a water pipe preserves the natural flavors of the cannabis, allowing you to experience the full spectrum of tastes and aromas.
It’s important to note that water pipes often have larger chambers, allowing for bigger hits. This can be beneficial for experienced users or those seeking a more substantial and potent smoking experience.
How to use a water pipe
Using a water pipe may seem complicated at first, but it becomes muscle memory very quickly.
Fill the water pipe:
Remove the downstem or bowl piece from the water pipe. Then fill the chamber with just enough water to cover the bottom of the downstem. If you overfill, you could get your cannabis wet, or water might enter your mouth when you inhale. Not great.
Grind your cannabis:
Use a grinder to break down your cannabis into smaller, evenly sized pieces. This will give you a nice, consistent burn and optimal airflow.
Pack the bowl:
Insert the downstem or bowl piece back into the water pipe. Then gently pack a pinch of ground cannabis into the bowl piece. You don’t want to smash too much cannabis into the bowl because you need air to flow through.
Ignite and inhale:
Hold the water pipe by the mouthpiece with one hand and place your lips inside the mouthpiece. With your other hand, use a lighter or a hemp wick to ignite the cannabis in the bowl as you gently inhale. As you inhale, the smoke will be drawn through the water, filtering and cooling it before reaching your lungs.
Clear the chamber:
Once you’ve finished inhaling, remove the bowl piece or downstem to allow fresh air to clear the remaining smoke from the chamber. Exhale and enjoy the effects of your smoke.
Before we get into the delights of dabbing, we want to take a moment to let you know: this method is known to deliver a very potent experience with fast-acting effects. So, if you’re new to cannabis, make sure you know dabbing may not be a gentle intro.
Dabbing is for consuming cannabis concentrates (wax, shatter, or oil). It involves heating your concentrate and inhaling the resulting vapor. Cannabis connoisseurs love dabbing because the rich terpene content in cannabis concentrates contributes to a more nuanced flavor profile, so you can appreciate what each unique strain has to offer.
There are a few ways to dab. Some require a few steps and specific tools, and others are less complicated. Just remember, when it comes to concentrates, a little goes a loooong way, regardless of the tool you use. Talk with your Budtender about how each works and what to expect.
E-nail
Short for electronic nail, an e-nail is an attachment you can get for your traditional dab rig. An e-nail replaces the standard nail and torch on the dab rig, and lets you control the exact temperature.
E-rig
Short for electronic rig, an e-rig is a battery powered full rig that lets you easily and precisely heat dabs.
Dab pens
If you’re looking for a discreet, portable tool for dabbing, this is the way to go. Also sometimes called a wax pen, dab pens are similar to a vape pens. They let you easily inhale concentrates without the need for additional tools like a torch, or pipe.
