Fatty

In cannabis culture, a fatty refers to a extra wide joint containing substantially more ground cannabis material compared to average slimmer joints. Their oversized girth sets fatties apart, achieved by using additional rolling paper to extend width. Fatties can commonly measure 2-3 times wider and more bulky than typical joints. The additional paper gives rollers more margin to generously fill and pack in more material without inadvertently spilling herb during the process. This greater carrying capacity in turn allows partakers to unroll an abundance of cannabis when puffing for more duration-intensive sessions. The name itself references their “fat” width and contents compared to standard rolls. While rolling picture perfect fatties does require some practice, bringing the necessary papers, ample bud supply and close friends makes it possible to eventually master the technique and fully enjoy their communal benefits when shared in good company.
