They're never quite right for me with regards to length or width, so I maintain the habit of sticking 3 silver Rizlas together, like a dinosaur.

We call those thunder trumpets where I'm from 😂

Dude!! It's been SO long! Everything alright now?

Yeah man, it's been a while! Everything is a-okay these days, how are you holding up?

If it's a-okay I'm assuming you did the thing. You're a better man than I am. Everything's holding up fine, other than the fact I'm up to smoking an oz of bud a week now, roughly. Never mind the concentrates, the edibles, the RSO, the shrooms, the Lucy, etc. Still have gainful employment though!

Just finishing off my 7th thunder trumpet of the day, and I try not to get up before noon... Could roll an 8th...?

did indeed my friend! It's sure good to have it over with 😅
Can't make light of keeping a job while smoking all that my guy, I'd be way too fried to function 😂 I haven't had the time to dabble too much in the reefer since my return. Budget is about the same though, but I go for high quality occasional smokes rather than the cheap constant ones. I think it works better for me than how I was smoking before tbh 🤷‍♂️ Good to hear you're holding up bud and I'm glad to be back ❤

Well, I think I'm functional, at least!

So, this is my public statement that I'll pay for 7g of any bud you want off here, or any combination to make up that. You're an inspiration to anyone, especially anyone who has the privilege to know you, my friend. Glad you're back too!

Its all too rare to see people having an amicable and friendly interaction respect to both you good sirs, frankly the site could do with less shit housery and more of this 👌🏻

I wholeheartedly agree! How a site where you can order weed to your door can generate so much hate and anger is beyond me. Should be a hippie dippie paradise 😂

More than functional I'd say, you're a superhero!

That's way too generous my friend, your lovely words are more than enough for me ❤ And maybe a pinch of your expertise, if you'd recommend me some good value high end hash or concentrates 👀

People are making me blush a lot lately! I'm far from heroic, but thank you.

I'm sure we can do both? Vendors, hit us up! RealD had some decent hash going on... Whatever you want though, genuinely.

Gotta adming your words had me a bit red in the cheeks as well 😊
I've seen you fight for what's right and stand up to injustice, that's heroic in my book!

I think I read RealD had some isolator on the way, will definitely try to get in on that 🥳

You're a real one!

I have an incredibly focused sense of justice, and always have done; hence my offer dude.

You can keep that chit and call it in at any future date though, as long as I have a little notice.

That's a very admirable quality to have, and it's more than most!

I appreciate you greatly buddy, gonna spark a thunder trumpet now in your honour!

If you smoke your joints pure then elements and OCB’s are literally what you want! OCB’s I find easier to roll with but elements leave literally no taste or ash apart from off the gum. baffles me how people smoke with raw papers taste like cig 🤮

raw black king size slims

Recently changed from RAW black to houseplant brown rice by OCB free from all the crap

I use Raw cos they come with a pretty tin

what kind of Raws do you use?

I’m lazy so I just buy elements cones on Amazon 💀

thats the way! 🤣

Been using Smoking (black package) for years. Love them!

what do you like about them?

They're very thin and burn well. I know there may be others just as good as the ones I use, but never felt the need for change! 😅

With you there, been on blacks for years, but then then the Smoking reds came out (even thinner)!

I personally use blazy Susan's, clean burn and a thin vegan paper also. Plus you get 50! in a pack so all round great product for me. They are pink though so do a few odd looks from fellow stoners 🤣

getting all the girls with GIZEH Pink!! 😆

So I used to use the Raw Organic Hemp papers all the time...until I realised that most of the ones sold in shops are fake. I think there's only one authorised outlet that sells them online here, where you're guaranteed to get authentic ones. Smoked them for the natural ingredients etc and god knows what they put in the knock-offs that are sold everywhere in the UK. So I either get Raw Organic Hemp boxes online or OCB Premium papers in the shops, where you can verify the authenticity with a QR code!

we actually had similar issues when purchasing Elements Papers, as those are in our opinion, the best. Bought 5 boxes of knockoff papers and only noticed because the papers wouldnt stick...
fck fakes! fck fake selling vendors!

Absolutely! F**k the fakes - the Raws I was smoking were actually pretty decent knock-offs (except that I don't know what ingredients went into them!), so I didn't notice until I realised the Raw filter tips from that same shop had 'Made in China' on the back haha...so they don't even try to hide it! Then I looked up the issue online.

What I don't understand is - given just how widespread it is with Raw, including on Amazon etc - why doesn't the company do anything about it?? They must be losing shitloads of sales! And it's not like the fakes are any cheaper I think. Maybe it would be a losing battle to try to whack-a-mole the fakes...

RAWS, always raws

Used to do 2 skinners, licked gum from a 3rd paper then peeled off, stuck remaining 2 papers together, less paper, but now getting older it's just the longer single skinners, blue rizla, silver ziz zag, or raws lights

Used gum from zig-zag papers to stick together 2 papers in the middle of joints, strong gum with the old zig-zags

Quite partial to a page from a cheap bible you find in hotels.

Usually a blank page in there too 😂😂

Blue Elements. 💨

RAW Ethereals 🔥

I'm still using rizla blue king size which is what I was using back in the college days. The green card at the back never lasts two long though which results in me having to use last years Christmas cards as roaches, I knew they would come in handy one day lol.

Raw Blacks or Browns, OCB's or Elements. Or if I've run out I'll stick a few greens for cigs together, only when I'm desperate mind.
So whatever my local shop has when I walk in I guess 🤣

Didnt have access to all the fancy skins available these days back in the day in lil old Ireland so it was red or green and the looks you would get even asking for papers like they knew what you were at 🤣🤣

Greens are emergency use only! 🤣

Cant teach and old dog new tricks now man im red for life 🤣🤣

I must be the only one using standard short red rizla's. Will disgust a lot of smokers but its my thing. I love the ritual of sticking 3 skins and building my joint, 20 odd years at it now, i aint changing now🤣
Which way do others roll, left to right or right to left??

Roach tip on the left, but I'm a lefty 👈🏻

I taper 3 skins by folding the parts above and below the fold, and it's always angled so that the roach goes in the left and the larger part of the slightly tapered cone is on the right.

I've never been able to roll any joint with the roach in, and I always add it at the end. I'm right handed, if this is significant in any way. I rarely fuck this up, but it's often commented on as if I'm an aberration.

I used to do that too man when i started out, roll it, stick the roach in after, its how i was shown, what does it matter man, smoke your way, i was always questioned why i roll left to right as if i was doing something wrong. What ever works is my take, we all just want get stoned 🤣😎

It all ends up as ash anyway right? 😂

Fact man 😎 and all is right with the world again once youve gotten there 🤣

I reverse roll (I believe the cool kids call it backstrapping) using a large ocb paper but I also can't roll with a roach in. I'm right handed too although I'd suspect that's got little to do with it. If I try rolling with a roach it ends up fat at both ends and looks like a college kid on their first acid trip at Camden lock has just fumbled it together in the rain.

I get the black pack of OCB with the roach book in. Tesco know the score...

I don’t smoke joints hardly anymore but when I do I make sure my skins are sold to me by a certified raw dealer. There is an abomination of fake raws and elements about that make your blunts taste like absolute shite. God knows what is in the paper they’re printing off barbarically in the millions in some factory in china to end up in our lungs. My best advice to anyone in the u.k is to get your skins if they are raw or elements from a certified dealer. If you live rural then order them online from the horses mouth. You cannot go wrong. I made this mistake. I’ve burned major ozs of bud and hash in my time using blag skins and never again would I entertain it.

Make me laugh the people who say “theres no difference” “they’re the same”. They don’t have a clue.

The best skins hands down for me are elements. Certified element with a 1.75 of sherbanger in there. Wowza.

OCB, dark brown pack
