24K Gold Joints
HOW TO!
DIY!
GET THIS EXPENSIVE SHIT FOR CHEAP LIKE A PRO!
Concept
I wanted to get some gold joint papers for smoking as a gift and just for funsies. However these are pretty expensive because there is an online monopoly on them by some company whose name I forgot. A pack of 6-10 or so goes for 45$. I don't like it when things like this are that expensive unnecessarily especially as I am on a budget right now so I improvise. I have joint papers and I have 24k gold leaf, the only thing missing is the adhesive.
This is the tricky part and also probably why no one has tried to make them themselves.
Most glue is not designed to be safe when combustible so naturally anything mainstream is off. There's some shit called 'blunt glue' and I don't know what it is but I guess it's safe for smoking. A recipe for it was essentially simple syrup, equal parts white sugar and water.
That's great because sugar also vaporizes like weed does since they're both carbon based. I don't know how it would taste taste-wise but I don't think it will matter. Genuine 24k gold leaf is a couple hundred atoms thick which means its incredibly thin and will stick to anything even remotely sticky. I don't think it would be flexible so you would have to roll the joint prior to coating it and then gold leafing it like that.
Here is an impromptu cost tally: Joint papers - 1$
24K Gold leaf 12 sheets - 20$
Sugar - 2$
Yes I am a very safety conscious smoker and will not smoke out of anything if I don't think it's safe.
This is why it is important that you get genuine gold leaf, do not get metal foil. In my opinion the only truly safe place to get gold leaf is to make it but buying it on the internet is also very reliable. Metal foil is not pure gold, it's a foil which means it probably has non food grade chemicals in it, while pure gold is fairly harmless and inert as a metal.
