What is a Cone?
Table of Contents
Cones are pre-rolled joints shaped into a conical form. Pre-rolled cones emerged as a simple way to enjoy cannabis without the effort of hand rolling.
To use a cone, cannabis flower is ground and loosely packed into the empty cone shape. A filter tip prevents material from pulling through.
The user then twists the open end closed to secure the contents. Additional papers may wrap around larger cones.
Cone joints range from small .5-gram sizes to multi-gram XL cones holding over 5 grams of material.
Paper choices include natural hemp or rice papers as well as slower-burning pulp papers. Transparent cellulose papers also exist for visually inspecting contents.
Ceramic or glass cones are also available for longer-lasting reusable forms.
Cones offers convenience for packing bowls on demand compared to pre-rolled joints. Their shape provides an even burn while smoking hands-free.
For those who struggle with rolling skills, cones remove the hassle of learning to hand-roll symmetrical joints.
On the other hand, cones lack the personal craft and ritual of mastering rolling. And pre-filled cones can hide lower-quality shakes rather than whole buds.
How to Roll a Cone?
For the traditional experience, cones can be hand-rolled from paper into a conical shape. Start with an unrolled paper angled into a wide V shape.
Apply pressure while rolling the paper at an angle to taper one end. Lick and seal the tapered section to set the cone shape. Fill the wide opening with ground marijuana and gently pack.
Then, twist off the excess paper to close the wide end around the contents.
Add a filter tip if desired. Hand-rolling cones take practice but allow full customizing of shapes and materials.
