Here are reasons I've found it ideal to use joints.
-you're out and about and don't want to carry a pipe around.
-you reside somewhere you don't want someone else finding your pipe/bong/paraphernalia.
-you're smoking socially, have a limited amount, and don't want to keep packing a bowl.
-you live somewhere where cops give you shit about paraphernalia, so you want a way to smoke without post-session evidence.
-you fucking felt like it.
Thanks for asking, OP. It's always nice to see new perspectives!
I can dig it man. I’m a little older and don’t run into a lot of those situations.
I do appreciate the ditchability of the j. I don’t think it’s ever stretched a small amount for me though. You really have to have a group of people who don’t bogart at all to even break even.
That being said, I can imagine what it would feel like to want to roll a j, and it feels cool.
All the best to you and yours man.
It's all good, my dude. Personally, I'm in a similar boat. I haven't rolled one in over a decade, since I'm now an adult living in a state where it's recreational. It's no longer a focal point of social gatherings.
I just remember having this discussion back when I was a broke ass kid living somewhere less progressive, worrying about my landlord or cops busting me for this nonsense. My friends and I would buy green from back alleys and smoke in parking lots for lack of better options. Js for smaller groups, blunts for larger ones.
I haven't smoked in decades, and back then it was illegal as hell. Being able to drop a joint and not worry about paraphernalia was an advantage.
In high school I got illegally searched by pigs and almost got kicked out of school for having a bong stem and a mushroom in my pocket.
Everything except the last two are fulfilled by dry herb vape. Its also healthier and you can smoke inside.
One hitter is small
A lighter and papers isn’t paraphernalia? A pipe/bong can be for tobacco and other stuff as well
One hitters accomplish this as well
Papers and lighters are paraphenilia as well.
Only real valid reason there.
It’s not really “perspectives” when it’s just excuses that apply to other stuff as well mate….
My dude, I'm not here to discuss semantics or gatekeeping reasons. OP asked a question, I provided an answer. Thanks for sharing your personal opinion, I'll be sure to give it the weight it deserves.
