you smoke the joint and what you have left over is a roach.

thats what americans call roaches. if your in the uk or most of europe, a roach is like a crutch for your j's. look on the forums or go to everybodydoesit.com and look around for the videos on there. they show how to roll some pretty good ones

Just use a small part ripped off of an index card. Roll it up so smoke can get through, but no weed does.

i find that business cards are too thick most of the time to roll a smooth cylindrical roach, so i went out and bought some filter paper from any headshop, its like 50 cents for a pack of 50.

around here, everyone just rips a bit of the zigzag pack off and that becomes your roach. thats why if you ever come to toronto and ask someone if they have papes, theres never a cover on the pack or a badly mutilated one :lol:

cut off a strip of index card and roll it into whatever size filter you want. works wonders for hitting the very last bud.

A roach is a bit of card used to give a joint some stability and is the most crucial part of making a half decent spliff. . No one like smoking a minging spliff when the end is wet and soggy so use a roach. A good roach allows the smoke to pass through it with no bits of tobacco or herb flying into your mouth, cause we all hate that horrible taste. A roach should be approx 1cm by 1.5, but a larger one may be required with a massive spliff.

Roll the bit of card up tightly

Good roaches include the packet from the rolling papers, a pack of cigs, a business card or anything that rolls easily and doesn’t end up in a square/triangle

The finished roach is ready to drop into your joint
