Welcome to F.C. Irish's Flight Log

Feel free to comment, discuss, add, or challenge anything on this blog. The idea of the Flight Log is to find our common culture amidst the regional differences. I'm looking for a clear understanding, and everything I write is meant to facilitate discussion toward that goal. Enjoy.

Joint Operation

ENTRY 1

     Packed a half bowl for the morning, as my stomach is giving me pain, and I've got a lot on my mind. However, I wanted to touch on joints, one of the most iconic ways that smokers throughout time have enjoyed marijuana.

GH HIT!

I am no Master Roller, I cannot roll blunts for the life of me (and I prefer not to. Though I may partake, and throw in for a blunt, it is by no means my favored way of smoking, and I see it as a waste of marijuana), and only recently have I returned to rolling Js after a two year hiatus. The point is, I roll what is known as a bugle: tapered, with the mouthpiece being about maybe a half to a third the width of the end you light. After closing the mouthpiece, I leave the burning end open, packing in the bud that fell out as I rolled the joint. With a twist, I've completed a bugle style joint. I bring this up because last night, both myself and B Cents each rolled a J. My bugle seemed strange to him (and it more than likely is strange to most my age, as it is a classic way of rolling, and by classic I mean first half of the twentieth century), and he presented to me what I call a cannon. Consistently he rolls joints the size of Camel Wides, they are massive (His blunts are the same, as packed as they can be).

     It is alarming that I have forgotten how to roll a joint. For the majority of my time since returning to the Commonwealth, I have been smoking bowls, and blunts rolled by a Master Roller I know. Now, when the time comes that I wish to go on a long distance burn cruise, and I cannot get a hold of my friend, I come to find that I have the utmost difficulty in rolling a joint. It used to be a habit to roll them while I was in college, especially since we, for the most part, surfed. Roll one up, put it in a watertight bag, and go surfing. after a few waves, drift and burn. I just can't believe I am struggling so damn much. So, it appears bowls are on the horizon for this burn cruise. A solo one it appears.
