Follow These Simple Tips to Make Your Joint Burn Slower

Even after years since marijuana was first legalized in the country, smoking remains the most preferred way of consuming the herb. And out of all the inhalation methods, people prefer joints the most. There’s something about joints that makes them quite unique, and that makes even the people with a medical marijuana card try them every once in a while.

However, there’s one issue with marijuana joints- they burn really quickly and thus don’t last very long. Well, not every joint is the same. However, most do have this problem. If you are a marijuana user, you perhaps know what I’m talking about and how annoying it can be.

Fortunately, though, there are a few that may help you tackle this problem. A cannabis joint can easily last longer. You just need a few simple tips to make it happen. And in this post, we’ve covered them all.

Grind Your Cannabis Properly

One of the pivotal aspects of a good joint is how well the bud is ground. In fact, grinding your cannabis properly is essential not only to make your joint last longer but also to achieve even burning. Experts recommend you try to find a grinder that may provide you with a fine grind. However, you must also make sure you don’t make it too fine, as it may lead to the obstruction of airflow and in turn difficulty in burning.

Use Good Quality Bud

The quality of your marijuana bud also affects how quickly your joint burns. Thus, to ensure a longer-lasting burn, you must make sure the buds you are buying have been cured properly. Make sure you are buying your marijuana from a reputed place.

Another thing you may do here is to talk to your budtender about what you desire of your cannabis. They may be able to help you find a product matching your requirements. Additionally, you may ask your budtender about how to grind the bud properly for a longer-lasting burn. Or else, you may buy some partially ground cannabis to start with.

Pick up The Right Rolling Paper

Just like your marijuana strains, rolling papers also come in various shapes, sizes, and varieties. And some obviously last longer than others.

Well, choosing the right rolling paper may be a matter of personal preference. However, experts recommend you should buy thin papers. The thinner your rolling paper will be, the longer it will last. Also, prefer buying the ones made of hemp. Papers made of hemp burn very slowly and provide you with a really great overall experience. 

You May Use Multiple Sheets

You may also use more than one sheet of paper to roll your joint. Using multiple sheets to roll a joint may avoid the burns to run on the sides only (which may provide you with a very uneven and harsh experience).

Additionally, using two sheets may promote just the desired airflow through your joint. This will keep the burning slow and steady.

Roll Your Joint Tightly

Now, your joint must not be stiff and rigid in any case. But you still need to pack it tightly, as less airflow keeps the burning slow and even.

There are many ways to roll a tight joint. You may either use a machine for the purpose or do it manually. One of the very easiest ways to roll a joint manually, if you are a novice, is the canoe method. Here’s how to roll a joint using this method:

• Take a rolling paper and fold it in half.
• Twist one of the folded ends of the paper in order to make it a cone. This twisted end will hold your cannabis in the paper while you roll it tightly.
• Fill your cone with ground cannabis.
• Roll the paper around it as tightly as possible. But don’t make it too tight, as it may obstruct the airflow completely or split the paper.

I hope the tips given-above help you enjoy a better and longer-lasting smoking experience. However, in the end, it’s all about the quality of marijuana you use and how good you are at rolling a joint. So, practice rolling a good joint, and enjoy!
