Do you think joints are wasteful?

Simple question - do you believe that joints/blunts are a waste of weed?

Depends.. If you're by yourself, probably. If you're in a circle of people, probably not.

Nope. A lot depends on how fat you roll them and to some degree your smoking technique, but a joint is not inherently wasteful.

I hear that. Sip a few and put it out. I made a snubbing stone that sits in the ash tray. Puts it out immediately. Also depends on how you chief it slow n low or sharp drags with quick stops.

Joints are pretty fuckin wasteful. Around here if we have a group we pass around more than one bowl. The only joint and blunt smokers are dealers.

Well, the wording of the thread title and the poll question are conflicting. IMO
To answer the title, yes, I think joints are will waste more weed when smoking, proving to be less efficient than say, smoking from a pipe.
To answer the poll question, no, I don't think joints should be just written off as a waste since that is my preferred method of smoking. And regardless of weather or not some weed gets wasted, I get more enjoyment.
Plus you smoke all the residue in from the joint, so you get pretty fucking high.

I hate smoking joints with other people, unless it's 1 or two people that I can trust with it. Most people just don't know how to properly smoke a joint, it seems like every time I'm with a group of people passing around a joint, everybody sucks it down so fucking fast/hard like it's a bong hit or something.
This causes it to burn much hotter so a ton of weed gets wasted, and is usually the cause to the joint running. This was always a problem to me in highschool, because it was common in my are to take 1 hit and then pass the joint/bowl/bong. So people try to get as big of a hit as possible everytime and it just fucked everything up.
I used to be a real weed snob though

They are more wasteful normally. This has been studied.
However, I love rolling a fatty for myself.

Yeah not hitting it too hard near the end of the hit means it won't be burning as hot between hits. Same idea with rolling it skinnier, the heater is not as big. Compare to smoking a big fat bowl with a giant heater, that's going to be burning off quite a bit of weed between hits. Not that pipes can't also be efficient, but they definitely aren't inherently more efficient than joints. A pipe with a lid on the bowl can be pretty good though.

Personally I think it does simple because I've always used glass And compared to paper waste is zero unless you got some Mega bowl in such case you'll waste 10x more with one of those haha.

I think blunts are a pretty huge waste and think it's crazy anyone would smoke good weed with them. They waste a ton of weed, the smoke is harsher, and the taste the bud is completely ruined by the tobacco. Might as well just smoke a spliff, at least you waste less weed.
I also like my joints to be rolled with nice thin papers, Raw is my favorite. If I want blunt size I'll get some king sized papers

I think it really depends. A nice joint to yourself can be nice, but I would be less likely to smoke a blunt to myself. Sharing a blunt is always great, it's a lot of weed and gets you all blown.
If you are trying to conserve weed, then both are wasteful. I would much rather just smoke a bowl or two, that'll get me stoney enough

It definitely isn't the most efficient way of smoking, but that doesn't make them wasteful.

Joints don't get me as high as smoking the same amount of weed almost any other way, so yeah, I'm going to have to say they're a bit wasteful.

I think they are wasteful, these days I only need one or two hits to get stoned, so rolling something is just pointless. And if you're with a group of people they're more practical but still kind of wasteful, and there's bound to be that person that sits there holding the joint while they ramble on as the joint burns away. I still think they have their place though. For cruising around smoking, a joint or blunt is ideal.

Same here. Sometimes I'll roll a pinner out of maybe 0.2 gram of weed, take a hit or two and put it out. That can last me several days, I consider that a pretty efficient use of weed.

I've always felt that they were. I saved joints for special occasions and mostly smoked out of a small pipe. It was pretty rare that I'd be smoking with 3+ people though (even kinda rare that I'd be smoking with even 1 other person) so there was a good amount of time where it was just sitting there burning with no one hitting it.
Joints always got me higher than pipe/bong though (probably because I ended up smoking more than if I had just loaded a bowl)If I was having a particularly shitty day, I'd roll a joint and put on some music and within 30 minutes whatever was bugging me, wasn't any longer.

I find it takes me about 2 times as much weed in a joint to reach the same level of stoned I would from a bowl. So much of it just goes up in smoke.
Not to say I don't enjoy a good joint, but if I'm trying to stretch my supply, I'll load bowls only.

So wasteful, to a person who has a higher tolerance, I can toke a joint in a couple rips through a bong.
And that is just to put me where I wanna be, that does not count for what I want to smoke afterwards.
It's cute when someone offers to roll a joint, but I usually pass, as I'll kill the thing.

if you put tobacco in and make it a spliff, that makes it a lot less wasteful. if the joint is tight enough it won't waste any weed also. you can say it's wasteful but as has been said, joints still get you mad stoned so I really wouldn't call it a waste.
edit: well to a person with a huge tolerance yeah i guess any form short of bong rips isn't going to do quite as much...but to those of us who experience the non-stoned state more than being stoned lol

I answered yes before I seen blunts where included in the poll, I don't think blunts are really a waste, they're far from conservative but they get you really high, and I like how they taste as compared to joints.

I do not mind pitching in on a big blunt, but I can not remember the last time I actually rolled a joint.
It's it's own thing, for it's own purpose, social/convenience.
Otherwise, there are far more effective ways to get stoned.
