We always just called it a filter here in Canada.

The 'roach' is the butt of the J so long as there's still some smokeable within (tear it up first, don't smoke the filter).

Speaking of rolling or piping roaches I knew a guy years ago who used something similar to Russian stacking dolls to store his generational roaches. 3 levels of rez. If I remember correctly he said it took months if not the better part of a year to get enough roaches to roll a 3rd gen roach J.

I'm equal parts disgusted and curious.

Yeah, I've heard filter too. I just never got the appeal of sticking extra paper in your J, but then again marijuana is wildly illegal where I'm from so my priority was always to get as faded as possible ASAP. Rolling a J is usually an outdoor experience for me, i.e. it needed to be easily concealed and smoked rather quickly. To each his own

And I knew a couple of guys back in high school who would actually eat blunt roaches. They thought it got them higher. It's been like 3 years since I've seen anyone do it but every time I did I was like ???

EWWW WHAT THE HELL!!! you don't EAT that!

I kind of prefer having a filter to be honest, it makes holding the J easier and you get less oil and rez on your fingertips. It's also illegal out here and with the current 'omnibus' crime bill being forced through Canadian Parliament. As of last night low-level pot growers (6 plants) are going to be facing harsher minimum sentences than pedophiles who rape babies and make kiddie porn.

I've also always been weary about smoking outside. Seems way more likely to get busted that way. Lucky for me I have a rather large internal 'storage closet' in my apartment, it's the ultimate smoking room hehehe.

Also a final tip for all the puffers on the board - Oil of Wintergreen. A bottle of that stuff sells for like $3 at any pharmacy. It's one of the main ingredients in stuff like A535 or Ben-Gay or other muscle relaxants hence the smell of pink peppermints / old people. 2-3 cap fulls of that stuff in a spray bottle (like Febreeze or Windex) top it off with water, give it a shake, and you've got the ultimate in scent killing sprays.
