How To Stop A Joint From Canoeing

People that prefer consuming cannabis through papers will want to learn how to stop a joint from canoeing. When a joint “canoes” it means it is burning unevenly. If only one side is burning and you do nothing about it, the joint or blunt will look like a canoe. That is, open on one side. Canoeing can be caused by a number of factors like rolling loosely or smoking outside when it is windy. Whether you’re about to roll up or already smoking, there are several ways to prevent a joint from canoeing.

1. Roll Tighter

The trick to proactively stop a joint from canoeing is rolling a proper joint. By the time you are done rolling there should be no gaps left.

Space between the rolling paper and weed will almost always result in canoeing. So it’s worth it to take your time when rolling up if you want a smooth smoke without having to try to fix the canoe.

Once you see the canoe process beginning, act fast to even things out before things get out of hand. You can tilt the joint so the faster burning side is at the bottom. Heat rises, so that can help to even things out a bit.

  • i actually thought this was a nice article and it filled some gaps in my knowledge about preventing canoeing and for that i'm grateful (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)

  • I agree. It solved my issue and informed me of why the issue was occurring. The article also told me what it was called. I know someone called her a clown, but they didn't realize the author went to clown school and knows how to write. 😀 I'm not great and comebacks.....lol

  • Actually, those answers are only are correct if you smoke without tobbaco. it differs from the way you smoke. yes a joint canoes due to burn rates so why is this?

    Well it's because weed and tobacco burn at different rates weed burns faster so if you haven't mixed your tobacco and weed and there more on side than the other your joint will canoe regardless of how you have rolled it.

    The way to combat this is to grind your weed and tobacco in the same grinder and mix it effectively so one or the other isn't at one side and it blended together
