    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.

        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 sicko-blur

            one time I smoked a roach from a backwood blunt in the bong and immediately passed out on the floor. Woke up with the stereotypical circle of faces staring down at me (I was only out for a few seconds)

        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.

          Ah so when we don’t use a roach/crutch/filter we call it “French style” after French style roll up cigarettes without the filter.

          Don’t know if that’s actually French or not but that’s what it’s called lmao.

          Nothing worse when you’re stood in a lift with a boomer and you know they can smell it but don’t know what that smell is.
