I do it because I have shaky hands and drop the roach, with a filter, I don't have to worry as much.

I had never heard of it until getting to college, since then I've met buttloads of people who do this very odd and unneeded practice. Some of them even beg/complain when there isn't a filter in there it is silly.

Yeah, I just moved to a new city and see a lot of people doing it here also.
I never roll with a filter and never have issues with weed in my mouth.

Its not actually a filter. Its a crutch, it just helps air flow. It also helps cool the smoke a bit before it reaches your lips. I find that I like them because they make your J's burn really evenly, and they're really easy to pass.

Why? because they are awesome. Great airflow, no roaches, avoid stinky oily fingers.
been doing it this way for the last 15 years.

I'm cool with a properly rolled crutch in a joint, but I don't want no filter there.

Helps airflow, keeps weed from falling into mouth, keeps friends from nigger lippin' it, and best of all, no stupid fucking roaches. You get to smoke every last bit of it, and don't need to save up roaches like a fiend!

Filters are stupid imo, just make a proper roach.

When people say filters, they mean crutch. I don't think anyone actually uses cigarette filters...
and who buys filters anyway? playing cards or business cards are the best

I definitely put a crutch in every joint that I smoke (isn't that often). I call them crutches, because it's a cool word, but some of my friends call it a filter. I don't know who would actually roll a cigarette filter into a joint... Can't say I've ever seen that.

I roll crutches/filters sometimes, but I actually feel that a joint without one will filter out a bit more of the tar, because of the weed-filled constriction at the business end.

I've never rolled a joint without one. If you have a crutch then there is no roach. You get to smoke all your weed without burning your fingers/lips

But you don't get to smoke all of that potent resin  Makes a pretty big difference IMO, the roach is the most potent part.
You can smoke joints without crutches all the way down if you hold it right (middle finger and thumb's fingernails) or use a roachclip, but it's much easier to put it in a bowl.
I've never used crutches  Always have roach clips on me
Filters seem wasteful to me, which sucks, because weed shouldn't be so valuable in the first place

Because a filter is something to grab the joint with. It isn't a world mystery.

People do roll with cig filters, really only popular among the medical crowd.
I put a bigger, not as broken up piece of weed on the mouth-end.

I roll hollow filters out of card paper. Its more of a stent than a filter. That way I can smoke all of the bud and I don't have to smoke the roach in a bong. I just find it more comfortable to hold/smoke I guess.

People actually buy roach material? I used to get sent shit loads in the post coincidental with my birthday and, for some odd reason, the winter solstice.

Yeah, you can get "roach card books" that have like the perfect card for making a roach. They're good if you wanna make dat perfect joint, but definitely not essential.
