Since Germany's legalisation, I started rolling joints myself instead of making my SO do all the work lol

Sweet I'm going to give it a try. I smoke joints the way other people smoke cigarettes, so I feel like it would make a difference.

Yea, cigarette filters aren't what your looking for for sure lol. According to my research, they also filter a substantial amount of THC in addition to anything else that might be filtered by them, so it's not an ideal high. You're probably better off just using self-made paper filters. Charcoal filters are where it's at, though

Oh nah, I smoke joints with glass filters that I cut myself out of borosilicate tubes. I meant "the way other people smoke cigarettes" as in quantity and frequency; I average 10 joints a day, every day. I'd smoke more if I could but I just don't have the time 😂

I did experiment with packing Top tubes with weed but the cigarette filter takes out "the good stuff" which is why I was skeptical of the charcoal ones.

Oh, yea sorry lol

So far, I'm quite content. Now glass filters, though. What's their deal?

Dude I'm telling you, glass filters are the way for sure. I cut a piece of 8mm OD boro tube down to approximately 30mm, which in my opinion is the ideal length and gauge for 1 1/4 papers. I can make I think 120 of them for like 9 bucks and I reuse them until they get lost or find their way to someone else's ashtray.

They never collapse or get soggy, even if the person you're smoking with drools like Homer Simpson. And if it's clean it tastes better than a cardboard filter too. It doesn't filter very effectively though, and in about 1% of my joints I suck a little flower into my mouth.

I thought I might be able to fill one with activated carbon and cap it with steel wool or something. That would be the best of both worlds, in my opinion.
