If you learned how to roll the perfect joint from a friend or family member, there\u2019s a good chance that you learned using just the bare minimum - your fingers and some papers.<\/p>\n<p>However, for today\u2019s modern weed smoker, there are a plethora of tools that can help you to not only make your experience more enjoyable but actually easier. Let\u2019s explore some of the ways that you can use a variety of products to your advantage.<\/p>\n<h1><strong>A Modern Marvel - The Grinder<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Some might say that we have our own grinders built in, as many use their hands to break up nugs of flower before smoking. If you\u2019re looking to keep your equipment to a minimum, you can continue to use this method, but a grinder is an inexpensive way to dramatically improve your marijuana experience.<\/p>\n<p>Grinders come at a range of price points, and depending on the features they bring and the material they\u2019re made of, you can enjoy their help in a rather inexpensive fashion. Your basic grinder involves two pieces that fit together and rotate various sets of nubs or teeth on the inside. This allows your bud to be separated and literally ground up into small pieces.<\/p>\n<p>More complex grinders offer multiple sections that are best described as interlocking trays that you can stack one on top of another. As you grind your product, it separates out the useable bud from the precious kief, leaving you with a stash for later use. Grinders can also be used to take a little bit of flower with you on the go if needed.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re used to doing things the old-fashioned way, you may be wondering why a grinder is essential. In short, it offers a variety of benefits including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A faster method of grinding up your bud<\/li>\n<li>Keeping product off of your hands and limiting the potential for waste<\/li>\n<li>Allowing your weed to be broken up into very small pieces that pack into your bong or bowl much easier<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Still not sold on the idea? Try using an inexpensive one to see if it makes a difference in your routine.<\/p>\n<h1><strong>Rolling A Joint? Try A Tray<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Anyone who prefers to roll a joint over consuming cannabis in other ways knows about the frustration that comes when you have a mishap. Whether your dog came up and bumped your hand or you\u2019re super tired after a long day of work, we\u2019ve all dropped our fair share of unfinished joints, thus essentially trashing the product that\u2019s inside.<\/p>\n<p>Like grinders, trays come with a variety of options and can be as basic or as lavish as you like. Made of out plastic, metal, wood, or nearly any other material you can think of, trays are designed to make rolling joints easier and for passing your bud around to others in social situations. Many of today\u2019s trays come with predefined compartments, allowing you to store papers, pre-rolls, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the storage benefits offered and its ability to be portable, the main benefit of using a tray when smoking weed is that it saves your product if you happen to accidentally drop some. Let\u2019s face it - those who are experts at rolling still have their off days, and a tray can ultimately save you money by allowing you to conserve every last speck of weed. Certain tray designs can also help you funnel your flower into a bowl, eliminating the need to pinch and pick it up with your fingers.<\/p>\n<h1><strong>A Crutch By Many Names<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Many people use the term crutch but others know this helpful tool as simply a tip or a filter. Whatever you call it, this handy little device brings a ton of benefits to you from the time you start rolling to the last drag you take. Just like our other recommended tools, a crutch can take on a variety of forms and price points.<\/p>\n<p>If you consider yourself to be a little more fancy, you can purchase a crutch made out of wood or even glass. These small nubs are designed to sit at one end of your joint and make rolling a perfectly cylindrical blunt super easy. Those who are on a budget or who may not know about reusable ones for sale often take thin pieces of cardboard and roll them up to create a similar effect.<\/p>\n<p>How can a crutch help? Instead of it being an extra step that\u2019s just for looks, using a crutch can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Act as a barrier between your lips and the burning weed when smoking, reducing the chance of burns. It also gives users a nice little spot to hold onto while taking a drag or passing it around.<\/li>\n<li>Increase airflow to your product, giving you a better burning joint that\u2019s not difficult to smoke.<\/li>\n<li>Reduce the instance of a soggy tip in social situations where your blunt is being passed around to friends and strangers alike.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While using a crutch doesn\u2019t provide the same types of benefits that a cigarette filter does, the concepts are somewhat similar. If you want to look like a pro when you smoke or roll, your best bet is to invest in one of these handy tools.<\/p>\n<h1><strong>What\u2019s Your Go-To Tool?<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>We all have our own preferences when it comes to smoking weed, and whether it\u2019s the strains we favor or the ways we consume it, it goes without saying that having some equipment handy makes the process a lot easier and more enjoyable. If you\u2019re totally new to smoking weed or simply want to change things up and see what your options are, stop by <u><a href=\"https:\/\/thebakereeseattle.com\/\">The Baker\u00e9\u00e9<\/a><\/u> to see our extensive line-up of accessories.<\/p>\n<p>Not sure what to purchase?
