Lighting a joint is not as simple as it may seem, especially if you're new to smoking weed. Here you'll learn the correct way to light a joint, along with the safest and healthiest flame sources for your next smoke session<\/a>.\u00a0Of course, the proper lighting technique will only work if you also rolled your joint<\/a> correctly! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\tWhat is the correct way to light a joint?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the safest and most environmentally friendly ways to light a joint is to use a hemp wick<\/a>, which is coated in beeswax. Hemp wicks provide a healthier alternative to traditional lighters since you will not be inhaling any butane. This organic alternative preserves the flavor of your joint and continues to burn even after you start smoking. Hemp wicks are also good options for lighting bongs and pipes. <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t
