You might enjoy smoking it through a bong, consuming it through edibles, or using vape cannabis concentrates.
Having said this, the most common way to consume weed is by rolling a joint.
This is a very simple and budget-friendly method of consuming weed, and you will only need some marijuana and some rolling papers, and you’ll be ready to light up!
So, if you’ve run out of rolling papers, and you really can’t be bothered to go out and get some more, I bet you’re wondering what you can use from around the house to roll a joint with.
Using tissue paper has probably crossed your mind, and in this article, we have compiled all the information you need on using tissue paper to roll a joint. Let’s dive in!
Can You Use Tissue Paper To Roll Your Joint?
It is possible to use tissue paper to roll a joint, but it is quite difficult to do so. It is much easier to use rolling papers, but sometimes you will not have any available, so you will have to make do with an alternative.
Tissue paper is a very thin and soft paper that is used in various ways around the house. It is often used to wrap items.
In lots of ways it is similar to rolling papers, but it is slightly more delicate. This slight difference makes it a lot more difficult to roll the joint, but it is still possible!
If you are hoping to find a way to roll a joint without rolling papers, then tissue paper can work as a replacement.
How Can You Use Tissue Paper To Roll A Joint?
Tissue paper is a lot thinner than rolling paper, making it quite difficult to use to roll a joint. It is likely to burn a bit differently than rolling papers will.
However, it is possible to use tissue paper in place of rolling paper.
To do so, follow the steps below:
Cut your tissue paper into squares around 68mm long and 34mm wide. This is the same size as standard rolling paper. It is best to use uncolored rolling paper so that it doesn’t contain dye.
Grind your weed using a grinder
Add the crutch
Next, shape the joint. To do this, pinch it between your fingers and start rolling from the crutch toward the end.
Then, pack the end of the joint and twist the top of it so that it closes.
After you have completed these steps, your joint is ready to be smoked!
While you might find that the joint burns down slightly faster than if you were using rolling papers, you will still be able to smoke from it without the need to purchase rolling papers.
What Alternatives Are There For Rolling Papers?
If you have run out of rolling papers then you’ll need to get creative. There are a few different ways that you can make DIY papers to smoke your weed with.
These include:
Rice Paper
If you’re looking for an alternative to traditional rolling papers, rice papers are a great option. They have been used for many years and they provide you with a smooth and slow burn.
They are made from a vegan-friendly source, making them good for the environment.
Hemp Paper
Hemp rolling papers are a natural and clean alternative to wood pulp rolling papers.
They are a lot more sustainable than using traditional rolling papers, and they are also healthier for the consumer.
Hemp papers are not bleached, meaning they are a natural brown color. They are also much rougher than rice paper, making them easy to roll.
Bamboo Paper
Bamboo rolling papers are better for the environment and consumers than regular papers. They are a great vegan-friendly option for rolling papers, and they are very durable and burn slowly.
Gum Wrappers
All gum wrappers contain a paper sheet. If they also have foil present, you should remove this.
This is a last resort, as it will not create a very good joint. It will be much smaller and shorter than any of the other options.
Corn Husks
Corn husks are a great alternative method to roll your weed. Sun-dried corn husks are often used in Jamaica as a way to smoke weed, so you can give them a try if you can find them where you are.
Rose Petals
This may sound very random, but rose petals are a great replacement for rolling paper.
To use rose petals, you simply need to heat three rose petals in a pan for no longer than three seconds. Then, connect them and use them in the same way that you would use rolling papers.
Apple Pipes
Pipes are a very common way to smoke weed, and you can make your own DIY pipe using an apple! To make this, you will just need to drill a hole into the top of the apple.
Then, drill a hole on the side of the apple that connects to the other hole. Once you have done this, you should line the top hole using aluminum foil and put your marijuana inside.
To smoke, light the weed in the top hole and smoke through the side hole. When you do this, you will get a delicious flavor, too!
Knives
Using hot knives is a great way to smoke marijuana. Simply place the top of your steel knives over heat until they are warm, place the weed on the knife and press down on it with the other knife.
When it starts smoking, you should start inhaling the smoke!
What Type Of Paper Is Best For Rolling Joints?
The best paper to roll a joint with is usually one that is free of any chemicals, burns smoothly, and is free from any dyes and inks.
There are many different alternatives available, such as hemp, rice, and bamboo papers which are great for rolling joints.
Tissue paper can work to roll joints, but it is often used as a last resort.
This is because, while it does work as a substitute, it doesn’t work as smoothly as some of the other alternatives listed. Tissue paper tends to burn down quite quickly.
Alternatives To Smoking Joints
There are many different ways to enjoy marijuana, and smoking joints is just one of these ways. You don’t have to smoke the drug to get maximum enjoyment from it.
Let’s have a look at some of the ways that you can get high without having to roll a joint.
Bongs
Bongs are a great way to enjoy cannabis. They come in many different shapes and sizes, and you can choose the one that best suits you.
Many bongs offer water filtration which provides you with a much smoother smoking experience.
Pipes
You can also enjoy marijuana through a pipe. This is a great way to smoke cannabis because it doesn’t pose the same dangers.
Smoking joints sometimes involve tobacco, and this is bad for your health. Vapes
If you enjoy inhaling your cannabis, then you can opt for smoking it through a vape. You can get these devices in lots of different forms, including disposable pens and refillable cartridges.
Vaping is potentially much safer than smoking, and it is also better for the environment as you are not disposing of the papers (You might also be interested in checking out some Beginner Vape Tricks like How To Bane Inhale)
.
Edibles
It is very common to consume cannabis through edibles. The effects of consuming edibles are very different from the effects of smoking them, and they are also much more discrete.
The effects of the drug also last longer if you take the drug in this way. It is very popular to make weed brownies or space cakes to consume cannabis.
Can You Roll A Joint With Printer Paper?
You cannot use printer paper to roll a joint. This is because paper contains lots of toxic chemicals that are added to the paper during the process of manufacturing.
Printer paper is also much thicker, meaning you’ll be inhaling much more smoke than if you are using standard rolling paper.
To roll a joint, you will need to use the thinnest paper possible, and printer paper is much too thick.
Final Thoughts
So, there you have it! If you find yourself stuck without rolling papers, you can use tissue paper as a substitute to roll a joint.
There are also lots of other alternatives to consider if you find yourself without rolling papers.
You could also opt for consuming marijuana in a different way such as through edibles, vapes, or other means.
If you choose to smoke it through a joint, tissue paper can be used as an alternative to rolling papers!
