People Also Ask

What is a crutch in a joint?

It's the rolled filter tip at the mouth end, usually a small piece of card or a glass tip, that keeps the joint open, catches debris and lets you smoke it down to the end.

Why do you use a crutch?

It stops the joint from collapsing, keeps bits of flower out of your mouth and gives you something to hold so you can smoke it fully without burning your fingers.

Is a crutch the same as a roach?

They're related but not identical: a crutch is the deliberate filter tip you roll in, while 'roach' can also mean the leftover butt end of a joint.
