I’m old we never used filters back in the day, sometimes we’d use what we called a crutch which was just a piece of whatever thin cardboard we could find rolled into a cylinder.

Those are all you need. Keeps the flower out of your mouth and let’s you burn almost all of it (or maybe all and I’m a coward)

I actually enjoy the russian roulette element of having to find out the hard way when it stop burning flower and starts burning crutch. It’s like a hard “joint’s done” notification.

I’m with you throughout this thread. Learning all the regional differences lmao.

I know the european ones but it’s understandable there because they’re different languages.

Generally crutch or filter is the name for the cardboard around here and then the roach is what’s leftover at the end whether it’s got a crutch or not.

I like no crutches but I usually smoke a joint then shove the roach into a bowl and finish it off.

Or save it for later but then you’ve gotta carry around the stinking stub of a joint.

A roach is just the end of a joint that got put out. Sometimes we’d roll all the roaches into a new joint and that’s a generation joint.

My buddy and I used to keep several generations of roaches going at once. So once you have enough roaches, you roll all those into a joint to create a “second generation joint”. Then once you have enough 2nd generations you can make 3rd, and eventually 4th, and at that point those will just knock you on your ass

This is the way. I’d always tear out a flap from my pack of cigarettes
