Fact Checked by Doctor NameWhat are Baptize?
Table of Contents
“Baptize” is a term used in cannabis culture to describe moistening a hand-rolled cannabis product, such as a joint, blunt, or spliff, with saliva before lighting it.
This deliberate action is intended to prolong the burn time of the marijuana product.
The term itself draws a playful parallel to the ritual of baptism, albeit substituting water with saliva in this context.
Should I Baptize my Joints?
Baptizing joints, blunts, or other rolled weed products is a matter of personal preference.
Typically, individuals choose to baptize a joint when smoking alone or in the company of close friends or loved ones.
It’s important to note that pre-rolled joints available at dispensaries are not baptized and have no contact with mouths or saliva during their preparation.
While anecdotal claims support the notion that joint or blunt burns slower when moistened with saliva, there is no concrete evidence to substantiate this argument. It is crucial to exercise caution and avoid excessive saliva, as an overabundance can potentially clog the joint, rendering it unsmokable.
