8 Different Types Of Weed Joints Around The World

Put your skills to the test and try one of these different ways to roll a joint.

If you’re a self-proclaimed pro-roller, we have quite the test for you.

Did you know that cannabis consumers roll different joints around the world? Our average joint here in North America might actually be considered taboo in places like Europe.

We encourage you to broaden your horizons and try rolling a different kind of joint, one that’s new to you but tried and true to someone else.

Without further ado, here are eight different joints created by cannabis consumers worldwide.

Cool Joints To Roll

The Dutch Tulip Joint

Smoking out of a beautiful, dank tulip? Yes, please.

This style of joint was invented in Holland (the Netherlands), which might not come as a surprise, given the name.

Rolling a dutch tulip is a bit complex; it calls for about 5-8 papers that will stick together to form a large cone shape. Then, fill the cone with herb to get that iconic Dutch Tulip shape.

The Pasta Filter

Who knows where this idea originated?

Some claim that they first saw this practice of using dried pasta as a joint filter in Europe, specifically Spain.

Using a single fusilli pasta as the filter is beneficial for two reasons: the airflow is unmatched, and the pasta slowly cooks as you smoke, adding some starchiness to your smoke (which, some say, makes it smoother).

L Shaped Joint

Legend has it that Amsterdam founded the renowned L Joint. It’s similar to the cross joint, but instead of placing the top joint in the middle, you shift it over to make an L shape. You can often find them being sold at Amsterdam coffee shops and cafes.

The Cross Joint

And that brings us to our next joint, the Cross Joint. You’ve definitely seen this roll in movies like Seth Rogen and James Franco’s Pineapple Express. It’s not clear where it originated from, but in the words of James Franco’s character, “Rumor has it, M.M. O’Shaughnessy designed the first one, the guy who designed the golden gate bridge.”

The Shotgun Joint

We’re not entirely sure where the Shotgun Joint came from. I would guess a couple of stoned American college students looking for ways to get even higher. The result is simply two joints wrapped in one, either held together by another rolling paper or hash.

The Plumber's Joint

Reddit

Maximum airflow is the name of the game for the Plumber’s Joint. It’s nothing more than your average joint with a small tunnel in the center that allows air to flow easier. This can be made by rolling a regular joint but with a skewer inside, then removing the skewer when you’re ready to spark up.

The Windmill

I can only imagine that the Windmill Joint originates from a country with a lot of windmills. Perhaps South Africa or maybe even the Netherlands. It consists of one thick joint and four smaller joints jabbed into the sides to form a windmill.

The Braided Twist Joint

The origins of the Braided Twist Joint are unknown, making it a mysterious enigma. Rolling it is quite simple, however. All you need is to roll three relatively thin and loose joints and stick them together at the base with another rolling paper. Then, put your braiding skills to the test and braid the joints from base to tip.

Final Note On Different Types Of Weed Rolls

There are tons of ways to spice up your typical smoke session by rolling an unconventional joint.

Our personal favorite is the Dutch tulip because we feel extra snazzy puffing off something so elegant.
