I really like joints. I love them. I used to smoke cigarettes, and I hate them, but I really enjoy the smoking aspect of a joint. The resinous buildup and all that.
I can't do it anymore. If I roll a 2 gram joint to share with 2 friends, they are puffing easily while my throat gives out halfway through and I get a raspiness that I can't stand.
This is why I vaporize through water. This is easiest on my throat. I don't like vaporizing oil or herb without water filtration as that's what my throat seems to be able to tolerate these days. Not to mention while the first two or three hits still taste good to me, the remainder of the joint tastes like crap as I think what 1/10 this much herb would have tasted like inside one of my flower vapes. Or better yet, pressed into rosin and vaped.
Just my personal preferences, I don't claim to be a 100% fucked-combustor, but I'm getting to be more and more that way.... I don't smoke flowers out of bongs or bubblers and these days would only roll a J to be shared among friends.
