- I am a popular commodity amoung some people I know, I am the only one
- who knows how to roll a joint. Now this is because I tend to be older
- than most of the people who smoke dope around me and have a bit more
- intense life lesson than others.
-
- I like rolling joints. It is a very viscereal pleasure, you get to
- play with the nifty green stuff and it gives your hands something to
- do. This is especially nice if it is good if you don't wanna get
- really stoned but just catch a nice buzz and instead of keeping your
- hands busy smoking you keep 'em busy rolling.
-
- I like that green stuff. It's cool, kinda like oregano or some other green
- bulk spice but you know it aint. It has the smell, strange how
- so many people don't groove to it, ahh well learnd response, like
- appreciating good scotch. It reminds me of harvest day, right after
- the fruit has been reaped and the oils and esthers fill the air. Very
- good green homey feel to it. Then you get into carding the stuff to
- take out the seeds and stems and to break it down so it will roll
- effectively. It has to feel right, a bit drier than the best feel,
- where it is so sticky with resin that all you can do is load it into
- a bowl and do bong hits until your brain goes numb.
-
- You gotta decide how fine you are gonna sift the shake. I know some
- who remove everything until nothing is left but a fine red dust. I
- don't like that, it takes too long, and casues too many volatiles to
- be released as you card it, and makes really lousey joints that pack
- too tightly and don't draw worth shit. We all roll joints to match our
- personality, my joins tend to have stuff in them that shouldn't be
- there, leave things on the tray that SHOULD be, double paper walled,
- kinda fat in the middle, nice where it meats the mouth, and fulla
- garbage that gets burnt.
-
- Once you got the grass ready you them have to get you papers in order.
- The way I learned to make a joint was to make a boat out of the paper.
- Take the paper in you hand so that the gummed side is up and the
- crease is away from you, the short sides are called edges and the long
- sides are called sides. You fold the end towards the side, each in turn.
- First you take the left edge and you fold it about the top corner of
- that edge, bringing the lower corner up to where it meets the top side
- and the edge is perfectly in line with the side. Then you do the same
- thing about the bottom corner, and then you do it for each of the
- other corners on the other side. You have to make sure all the creases
- are away from you, then, from where the two bisectors meet on out to
- the edge you fold agains the crease, you fold in the same place but in
- the other direction of the original crease
-
- You do that with each edge and you get a little paper boat into which
- you can shift your sift. After having thoughly raked the herb you wind
- up with a little mound of grass, how big depends on how strong the
- grass is, how big the papers are, and how stoned you wanna get. I
- usually use a bit more than would fill a large bowl. You pick the
- gras up between you fingers and dust it into the paper boat. Try to
- get it even but don't worry about it you can fix it. Towards the
- bottom of the mound you run into stuff too fine pick up with your
- fingers, I consider it a point of grace to card once, and once only,
- it back into a smalled mound and then try to get at least one good
- pinch or two from it and let the rest of the shit go back into the
- baggie until one is scaping for anything green that burns. As you load
- the paper you are gonna spill dust, just let it go. Make sure you load over
- the tray and you will either get it with the cleanup card or smoke it
- some other time.
-
- Now you take your boat full of dope and begin leveling it. Stir it
- about with your finger to balance as much as possible and then you
- will begin rolling it. Make sure the gummed side is away from you if
- there is one. You roll it to settle the grass and get it
- even, and ya try to get it to spread out towards the edges. This is
- where people who use doller bills use them, I always thought it was
- too much hassle to fuck with. Once you have it spread to suit your
- desires you then have to roll the paper up into a joint. This is the
- tricky part. I always try to finish rolling it so that it is very near
- the ungummed edge and then to just fold that over and roll it up. Try
- to get it a bit tighter than you wanna some cause it will looesen as you
- roll it up. Just before your finished you have to lick the gum. The
- best I ever saw anyone do that was this little oriental girl I knew
- who had the most pointed tounge that was always moist. She had absolute
- control over her tounge, she could make it do things that would give
- you an orgasm just watching the movements. I being who I am tend to
- either slobber a bit too much or not get enough on there, it could be
- better but it works. You finish rolling it up and and then you gotta
- close the sides.
-
- The best way I have found to close the sides is to just roll one end
- and figure what gets caught gets caught and turn it so the other end
- is upright and then use a small poker to pull out things which stick
- out and push in the stuff that needs to go inside. Roll the ends
- counter to each other and lick to close. I got friends that stick half
- the damned joint in thier mouths, and others who just touch it to
- thier tounge. I am undecided, the wetter it gets the better the joint
- is but it just grates my aesthetics. Let it dry and you gotta joint. I
- tend to double wrap mine, by rolling that joint in annother, it
- strengths that fragine middle section and generally keeps a tight nice
- looking joint. I also tend to tear off that messy end, the one that
- caught what got caught, to suck on, and use the flashy paper tail to
- light it.

- Last week I celebrated my promotion (like getting tenure at U of
- Chicago). After giving every one a "Hemp Saftey Course" including the
- video of "Hemp for Victory" I brought out a batch of brownies. The "pro's"
- in the group said they tasted like "liquid hash". Most people said they
- felt good till 4pm the next day. So I thought I'd share the recipe with
- the net:
- Start with Hershey's Premium Baking Bar Unsweetened Chocolate.
- On the back is a recipe for brownies which includes 1 cup butter, 4 squares
- of chocolate, 2 cups sugar, 4 eggs, 1 cup of flour, and vanilla extract.
- Start with dry hemp leaves and grind them in a coffee grinder to a fine
- powder. Put in a measuring cup until ~75 ml of "green flour" is made.
- Fill to the 1 cup mark (250 ml) with regular flour. Proceed with recipe
- on box: Heat oven to 350 F, Grease 13x9x2 (inch) pan. Heat butter and
- chocolate and stir with wooden spoon until smooth. Stir in sugar. Add
- eggs one at a time. Add vanilla extract and stir in flour mixture.
- Add nuts if desired (a very nice touch I think) and bake for 40 minutes.
- It seemed to take 10 minutes longer than the box suggested (30 minutes)
- to be completely baked through. Makes 3 dozen brownies. Take 2 and wait
- an hour. Take 4 and cruise for 12 hours. Enjoy!

- In the interests of making marihuana use a little bit safer, to prove that
- use does not automatically equate to lung cancer, here are two use methods
- that bear attention:
-
- The Dual-Chambered, Hot-Cold Bong
-
- [it was noted in a followup that a hot-hot bong would supposedly be better
- because the temperature is not the key, its the water vapor. Experiment
- and figure out for yourself what works better -- Lamont]
-
- Basic Design (can be modified to fit different styles):

-
- Basically, the principle goes like this: Most of the carcinogens in
- marihuana smoke are water-soluble. THC is not. Therefore, the bong was
- invented to remove carcinogens and to cool the smoke. However, warm to hot
- water does tend to remove more carcinogens than does cold water, so using
- hot water would seem to make the smoke much safer to breathe (and still
- avoid lung cancer), except that the point of cooling the smoke is lost.
-
- Thus, the Dual-Chambered Bong was designed to remove the most carcinogens
- as well as cool the smoke for inhalation. Basically, the first, hot
- chamber is filled to the brim with water, and beneath it is placed some
- form of heating unit (or inside it, or whatever can be done to keep it hot).
- Next, a short distance away, the second, cold chamber is placed with some
- way of keeping the area the smoke passes through really cold (such as: cold
- water with icepacks around the chamber; ice packed around a coiled tube;
- liquid nitrogen or dry ice poured/piled around the coiled tube; cold water
- in the chamber with cold water being pumped around the outside through a
- tube coiled around the chamber; etc.) to cool the smoke. Then you keep the
- marihuana in the bowl lit by your favorite method, and treat it like an
- ordinary bong. Since this apparatus is fairly complex, it is suggested
- that you disguise or have disguised the D-C Bong as some form of dualistic
- statuary (such as a couple kissing, where the point at which their lips
- meet is the link between the two chambers) to prevent police busts from
- wasting your investment on materials and design.

- For the baker or cook with less of a turn for smoking marihuana, the
- following is a recipe for marihuana brownies suggested by Timothy Leary.
