What is a Twax Joint?

A twax joint is like a regular blunt or joint on steroids. This is because of its super-high potency.

Twax joints are created using the same method as a normal joint. However, in addition to a regular flower, it also contains hash or another cannabis concentrate either on the inside, outside or on the tip of the joint.

If you’re looking for products that pack a punch and will surely get you high, then a twax joint is definitely for you.

Many view twax joints as an alternative to dabbing their favourite concentrate. Twax joints are also ideal for social situations where friends all want to take a hit or two off a high potency joint.

In this way, a twax joint is the best of both worlds for those who enjoy the nostalgic, traditional method of smoking flower with the enhanced effect that comes with dabbing concentrates.

The earliest history of the twax joint could potentially date back to the Thai Stick, which comes from, you guessed it, Thailand. Their historical significance dates back to the marijuana trade between Thailand and the United States during the Vietnam War. These twax joints are created with full buds that are then dunked in additional cannabis concentrate before being covered in kief

The term twax or twaxing can also be used to relate to bongs or pipes. For example, to twax a bowl means that you sprinkle a little concentrate on top to add a bit more intensity to your experience, in addition to packing a bowl with a regular flower. The same would go for using a bong.

What are the Benefits?

As we’ve already stated, the biggest perk of smoking a twax joint is its potency.

It takes the effects of your favourite bud and brings them to an entirely different level by adding the potency from cannabis concentrates. Whether you’re smoking pure THC, CBD, or a hybrid, twax joints allow you to increase the benefits of your favourite bud.

Twax joints are also convenient and far less expensive than other alternative methods of consuming icky sticky. You don’t need expensive equipment. Instead, all you need are the regular supplies you need to roll a joint: bud and rolling paper. You would also need some kind of cannabis concentrate as well.

A twax joint is also ideal for those looking for an option to toke on the go as it is portable, convenient, and disposable. It also serves as a perfect vessel for those curious about how to smoke shatter in a joint.

Since they have increased potency, twax joints are also likely to result in a longer-lasting, more intense high, appealing to seasoned blazers whose tolerance is higher and requires a stronger concentration to get the job done. 

A twax joint is also convenient in terms of dosing. Whether you want a small amount for an extra boost or to take your smoking experience to cloud nine, you can decide how much cannabis concentrate you choose to integrate into your joint.

How to Roll a Twax Joint

Now that we’ve covered the basics, it’s time for the main attraction.

We’re going to tell you how to make a twax joint!

First, let’s cover the materials you’re going to need:

  • Favourite bud 
  • A weed grinder
  • A filter
  • Rolling paper – the sturdier, the better. You don’t want your joint falling apart.
  • The cannabis concentrate of your choosing – this is ultimately up to you, but we would say that choosing cannabis concentrates with a more wax consistency is the best way to go, such as budder, wax, shatter, or rosin.
  • A spreading tool – only necessary if your concentrate of choice is a liquid.
  • A lighter 

Alright, now we can get to the good part!

Method 1: Inside the Joint

Basically, as we said, rolling a twax joint is almost the same process as to how to roll a joint. But instead of sealing up your joint at the end, you instead sprinkle in whatever cannabis concentrate you have in it.

If you want to integrate the concentrate inside your joint, you need to:

  • Grind your bud and flower and fill the rolling paper with roughly half your weed.
  • Roll your concentrate with your hands into a long tube shape. Or, if you opted for a liquid, drizzle it over the middle of the bud inside the joint. It’s best to make sure that the concentrate is as close to the center as possible to ensure that the joint burns evenly, and you inhale all the righteous goodness.
  • Add a second layer of weed on top of the concentrate like a sort of weed sandwich.
  • Finish rolling the twax joint as you would a normal joint and seal it closed.

Method 2: Outside the Joint

If you’re looking to roll a twax joint with the concentrate on the outside, you initially create a joint as you normally would.

Once you’ve sealed up the inside, you can add whatever you want to the outside. At this stage, it’s best to use concentrates that have a sappy consistency.

If you want to integrate the concentrate outside your joint, you need to:

  • Roll a joint as you normally would with dry flower on the inside.
  • If you are using a liquid concentrate, use a spreading tool to evenly distribute a thin layer of concentrate on the outside of the joint. If you’ve opted for a harder or more malleable option, you can simply roll it into a tube with your hands and make it slightly longer than your joint so that you can wrap it around.
  • Spark up your lighter at one end of the joint and slowly turn it between your thumb and finger while gently pressing the concentrate into place along the outside of the doobie.

Method 3: The Tip of the Joint

If you’re looking to integrate a concentrate into your joint, but you don’t necessarily want to string it along with the entire joint, this is the best option for you.

Twaxing, just the tip of the joint, is a great way to get a kick at the start with your first toke from a joint.

If you want to integrate the concentrate to the tip of the joint, you need to:

  • Roll a joint as you normally would with a dry bud on the inside.
  • If you’re using a liquid concentrate, all you have to do is dip the end of the joint opposite to the filter in the oil. And if you’ve selected a concentrate with a harder consistency, you’ll need to heat it up and spread a thin layer on the outer edges of the paper. Then, all that’s left to do is enjoy!

Twax Joint – Perfect for an Extra Boost

Whether you’re a seasoned toker with a higher tolerance looking to get a better buzz or someone wanting to spice up their smoking experience, a twax joint is a perfect compromise of smoking a joint while also consuming cannabis concentrates.

With their portability and convenience, and extremely high potency, twax joints are ideal for cannabis enthusiasts who want to toke on the go or share the wealth and share with friends.

No matter which method you choose to use, it’s always best to ensure that your product comes from a reputable dispensary to receive the best quality and safest product possible.

Happy toking!
