The procedure to ignite a prepared cannabis cigarette involves applying a controlled flame to the tip until it is evenly burning. This action initiates combustion, allowing the user to inhale the resulting smoke. Ensuring an even burn is critical for optimal consumption. Uneven burning, often referred to as “canoeing,” can result in a less enjoyable experience.
Properly initiating the burning process of a pre-rolled item ensures consistent airflow and prevents wasted material. A consistent and even burn contributes significantly to both the flavor profile and the longevity of the smokeable. Historically, various methods have been employed to achieve optimal results, ranging from simple matches to specialized lighters, each impacting the user experience.
