subject: The Right Length, Width, And Thickness Of Rolling Papers For Smoking Marijuana [print this page] With the wide range of choices available for rolling papers, it become difficult to select which is the best? Just to avoid this confusion even a long time smoker uses a rolling paper that is available at the nearest local store. In this article we are going to talk about the differences that dimensions of rolling papers can bring so that you can enjoy your smoke to the fullest -
Rolling Paper Width
The width of a rolling paper is calculated as the distance from the bottom of the rolling paper to its top where the part containing the sticky substance begins. There is no standard width defined for rolling papers. Therefore, you might find the same type of rolling paper varies in width from one company to another. Given below are some commonly available widths and size of the rolling papers
---single: between 1 1/2 inches - 1 3/4 inches wide
A wider paper allows rolling of thicker joints as compared to that of a single width paper. You can only roll a joint as thick as a cigarette with the help of a single wide rolling paper. To roll a thicker joint, you need a wider paper. For smoking marijuana that is smaller then half gram you only need single width rolling paper.
Rolling Paper Length
General length of a single wide rolling paper varies from 2 3/4 inches to 3 inches long. A joint rolled using rolling paper of this length will be slightly shorter then the king size cigarette. Some companies also produce longer rolling papers for joints larger then king size cigarettes
Rolling Paper Thickness
You can find different thickness of rolling papers such as thick, medium-weight light-weight (fine), extra-thin. Joints prepared using thinner rolling paper allows more air to pass through as you inhale and burn slower as compared to that of a thick rolling paper. However, it is easier to roll a joint using thicker paper and is preferred for free burning. Thin paper is recommended when you want to smoke marijuana that is damp and is expected to burn slow.
