Question ❓ What did teens used to roll joints with if they couldn't get cig papers?
I'm writing a chapter of a novel (for a dissertation) and it's led me to wonder what teens roll their joints with when they can't get cigarette or rolling papers?
The novel is set in 1994, so I was wondering if teenagers (or people who didn't wanna leave their house to buy stuff) used other papers to roll their joints. I just felt like I could ask some experienced smokers instead of just making something up.
Looking around my kitchen, I thought maybe people used baking parchment or newspaper, but then I remembered newspaper ink used to not be made of inert soy ink, so maybe it wasn't safe. No idea! That's why I thought I'd ask.
