Weed Roaches: What is a Marijuana Roach?

A lot of smokers use their roach to smoke more weed later.

If you’re just starting out with consuming cannabis, you might have never heard of weed roaches before, but there is no doubt that you’ll learn very soon.

If you’ve ever smoked marijuana, you know that most of it will end up as ash after you finish smoking it. There are some products on the market that allow you to retrieve every last bit of THC from your weed, but what if your stash doesn’t include one of those? 

If you want to get the most out of your marijuana, then you should learn what weed roaches are and how they can affect your weed.

What Are The Weed Roaches?

Roach refers to the butt of a joint or blunt. It’s the end of the smoking device, where you put your mouth.

Most people smoke roaches by holding the roach between their thumb and forefinger while they inhale. When they’re finished, they place the roach in their mouth and puff until it’s completely out.

The term “roach” also refers to any part of a joint or blunt that has been smoked so much that it appears to have been eaten away by bugs (or something similar).

While this might sound gross, it’s actually not uncommon for cannabis users to find little nuggets of marijuana around their bongs or pipes. These nuggets are often referred to as “roach”.

Sometimes people refer to them as a roach clip, roach holder or roach-holder. The term comes from the fact that when you roll a joint, there’s usually enough left over to make another one — that’s your roach.

A lot of smokers will use their roaches to smoke more weed later, but some people just throw it away. If you’re smoking with someone else and they have too much left over from their joint, it can be polite to offer them your roach so they don’t have to waste it by throwing it out. 

You also might want to offer them your roach if you’re trying to get high for too long and want them to take a hit so you can go home!

How Do You Make A Cannabis Roach?

The cannabis roach is a type of joint that has been rolled using the excess marijuana from another joint. This “roach” can be made with any size of joint, but it is most commonly made from a large blunt.

To make a cannabis roach, you start by rolling a blunt as usual, but instead of finishing the job and smoking it, you leave some weed on the paper at the end. 

Then, take another blunt and roll it around the first blunt until the ends meet. Roll up the second blunt around itself and cut off any excess paper to create a flat spot for smoking.

The next step is to use a lighter or matches to burn off all of the excess paper from both ends of your joint so that they meet perfectly at the center point. The last step is to smoke your newly formed roach!

Cannabis roaches are especially popular in Amsterdam where they have become known as “Amsterdam Blunts” or “Amsterdam Joints” because tourists often buy them from street vendors in Amsterdam before heading back home with them as souvenirs.

Should I Throw My Cannabis Roaches Away?

Some people like to throw their weed roaches away, while others like to keep them to smoke later. If your roach doesn’t have much weed in it, sometimes it’s best to toss it away, but it also depends on how much you want to get high. 

So why do people throw away their roaches? Well, there’s always the argument that it wouldn’t be fair if someone else saw them on your countertop and thought you were selling drugs. 

There’s also the fact that most people don’t want to keep them around because they just look nasty when left out in the open like that. Sometimes roaches also end up smelling up a room they are in, and this can be a turn off for some people.

Tips For Making A Good Roach

There are many ways to make and smoke a weed roach. Some of them are more effective than others and some of them can be quite dangerous. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your roach.

The first thing that you need to do is make sure that the roach is clean. A dirty roach will not burn as well as a clean one and it may also contain other contaminants which could cause damage to your lungs. 

If you try to smoke a dirty roach, then you will not get a good hit because the hit will be too small or weak due to incomplete combustion.

There are two ways to clean a roach, one is by washing it under warm water and the second way is by scraping off any dirt or buildup with a knife or fingernail clippers. The best method is to wash it under warm water as this will remove any dirt from the surface of the roach as well as from inside its body cavity.

Use only the best weed when making your roach. This will ensure that you get the best possible smoking experience from it. With a good strain, the roach will stay potent for longer. 

If the joint was rolled well, then the roach will burn more slowly and evenly so there’s less chance of burning your fingers when you’re trying to light up your joint.

How To Smoke A Weed Roach

There are many ways to smoke weed roaches. One is by combining it with a bowl of marijuana. First, you will want to grind up your roach into a fine powder. You can use a grinder, or find one online for about $20. Once you have crushed up the roach, simply add it to your bowl and light up!

Another method is to roll it up into a joint. This is the easiest way to smoke a weed roach because all you have to do is light it up and enjoy!

If you are looking for something different, try making some cannabutter or oil from your leftover roach. 

Cannabutter and oil are great ways to cook with cannabis without having any of its potency lost due to combustion during cooking. You can also use these products in baking or other cooking methods that require butter or oil!

Final Thoughts

Not everyone is able to finish their entire joints during a smoking session, and making a weed roach is a good way to savor the last bit of weed in the joint.
