Crafty Cannabis: How to Smoke Out of an Apple and Roll a Cross Joint

Mar 25

Ever found yourself wanting to enjoy some cannabis but lacked the traditional tools? Maybe you're just looking for a fun, creative way to spice up your session. Whatever the case, learning how to smoke out of an apple and how to roll a cross joint can turn an ordinary experience into an extraordinary one. Let’s break down these two crafty methods into simple, easy-to-follow steps.

How to Smoke Out of an Apple

Yes, you heard that right. An apple. This method not only serves as a handy solution when you're in a pinch but also adds a hint of fruity flavor to your smoke. Here’s how you can turn a regular apple into your new favorite smoking device:

Gather Your Supplies: You'll need an apple, a pen or a similar tool to create holes, and your cannabis.
Make the Bowl: Start by removing the apple stem. This spot will serve as the bowl where you'll place your cannabis. Use your pen to create a hollow about halfway through the apple. Be careful not to poke all the way through.
Create the Mouthpiece: Now, take your pen and make another hole on the side of the apple. This should connect with the first hole you made, creating a pathway for the smoke. This side hole is where you'll draw the smoke from.
Add an Optional Carb: For a smoother experience, you can create a carb—a small hole that allows you to clear the smoke from the apple chamber. Just poke another hole on the opposite side of the mouthpiece that connects to the central chamber.
Pack and Smoke: Place your cannabis in the top hole, light it up, and inhale from the side hole. Voila, you’ve just turned an apple into a smoking apparatus!

How to Roll a Cross Joint

Now, for those who want to elevate their joint-rolling skills, the cross joint might look complex, but it’s surprisingly doable with a bit of practice. This iconic joint is not just for show; it allows for an even burn from two joints at once. Here’s how to craft this conversation starter:

What You’ll Need: Two rolling papers, a needle or a thin object to create a hole, your cannabis, and a grinder.
Roll the Base Joint: Roll a standard joint but with a bit more cannabis than usual, as this will form the base of your cross joint. Make sure it's packed firmly and has a twist at one end.
Roll a Smaller Joint: Now, roll a second, thinner joint that will act as the crosspiece. This one doesn’t need a filter but ensure it's sealed well.
Prepare the Crosspiece: Take the thinner joint and use your needle to poke a hole through its center. Wiggle the needle around to widen the hole slightly, ensuring the smoke can pass through.
Puncture the Base Joint: Carefully create a hole in the base joint where you want the crosspiece to intersect. This hole should be slightly smaller than the diameter of your thinner joint.
Assemble the Cross: Insert the thinner joint through the hole in the base joint. It should fit snugly, ensuring smoke can pass from one end to the other.
Seal the Intersection: Take a small strip from another rolling paper, lick it, and wrap it around the intersection of the two joints. This will seal any gaps and ensure a smooth smoke flow.
Light It Up: To smoke your cross joint, light the three ends simultaneously (you might need a friend’s help). Inhale from the base joint’s filter, and enjoy the double burn.
