A pinner joint contains a minimal amount of cannabis flower, leaving it looking disproportionately slender and thin, resembling a pin. Pinners utilize standard size rolling papers but spread out the weed so sparsely that the joint looks absurdly narrow.
Some roll pinners to conserve cannabis when supplies are low. They provide a few light hits to temporarily placate cravings until more weed can be sourced. Others may roll pinners while learning proper rolling technique, gradually working up to filling papers completely as skills improve.
Pinners often run unevenly and require frequent relighting due to imperfect packing. For wider joints that burn properly, use more weed, wider papers, cones, a rolling machine, or just buy prerolls. But when rationing the last bits of a dwindling stash, constructing an awkward pinner joint can make leftovers last just a little longer.
