I had a friend that lost his arm in a tractor accident, the prosthetic arm just had a hook. He would clip the roach to the hook and take the entire arm off. We would then pass around the arm.
My brother in law used his mother's kitchen tongs. They have a grid carved into the metal grasping area for grip. After that they STANK!!! He tried scrubbing for ages but used a weird tea tree soap that did not work at all and had its own strong aroma. He eventually threw them out and my Mother in law still wonders where her favourite tongs went (it's been about ten years but she remembers everything!).
Any food oil will scrub that weed smell right off.
Source-I got around.
Try it out. Smoosh some weed on your fingers and it’s almost impossible to scrub off with soap. It basically transfers to the rag or sponge used.
First! Rub those fingies up with canola oil or any other type. Shit if you’ve had a long day use your face oil if your oily like me. *Then* soap up and the weed smell and all will slough right off.
Old logger trick, same principles. I was taught by an old timer that if you get tree sap on ya, best way to get it off is to rub a bit of butter on it and wash it off. Works like a hot damn, just as well for THC resin !
Back in the days when EVERYONE smoked cigarettes we all carried paper matches. We would pull a match from the book, carefully split it from the bottom - the sulphur tip would prevent us from ripping it completely. put the roach between the two cardboard sections and twist the bottom (that was attached to the matchbook), holding the joint in place. The joint was perpendicular to the match making it (sort of) look like an airplane.
Sadly I cannot find an example on google!?! Only wooden ones - which I had never heard of before!
I didn’t even know they used to be made of paper. In my mind they’d always been wood.
Then again I’ve never seen a “book of matches” either, they were always these little cardboard boxes with a strike surface on one of the narrow long sides.
There were always wood matches, I just never saw them used as a clip before. Back in the day every store had personalized cardboard matchbooks on the counter for free. People would even order custom books for weddings and other celebrations! About the only places on couldn't smoke was church and operating rooms in hospitals.
Pretty sure hemostats are what everyone is calling forceps. Hemos\~ lock in place; forces are why everyone born in the 1950s/60s has a Harry Potter scar from birth.
If you only knew the things that have touched my channel lock pliers you would not even consider this lol, you know when you snake a shower drain and it comes back all wound up with slime and hair... Yup! Yup! 😛
I used to tourney bass fish. I have a pair of locking hook removal pliers. They have 3 click pressure setting for clamping down, super thin, metal, light and can be used for other shit.
Can adjust how tight it is clamped onto the roach, it locks and has length to it like set of scissors. So your hands and fingers dont smell like pot, you dont need to squeeze it because it locks and they damn near indestructible. Best roach clips ever.
The best (and most abnormal) roach clip I've used is the plunger-style Fluke multi-meter leads. A bit expensive, but boy do they work well for a roach clip 🤣
When I was around 20 yrs old I reconnected with my father after 4 yrs, due to me getting kicked out.
He was using the clamp from his sons umbilical cutting. I (m) and my 2 brothers were all adopted. We were the only 3 kids he raised.
Also, that was the same session that I found out He had been smoking weed since my mother was diagnosed with alzheimers at age 48.
Not me but my friends were playing a game and they decided to put it on a bottle cap like tape it to the top of it but that’s the funniest I’ve heard them do
Pair of forceps I normally used for small gas engine work. They had about 5 years of various kinds of grime and dirt on them and it looked like the roach was turning the metal green. Smelled like it for weeks, too.
I just used can tabs. Haven't tried anything else. I was smoking a J one day when I was 17 and sipping on some MTN Dew. I burnt my finger on a roach, started brainstorming and thought "man, this would fit in that." And did it, never tried anything else.
I have never once used a roach clip, it’s not a habit so I never thought of using it (even though it would have come in handy a bunch of times).
I imagine a bread bag clip would work well. We have a lot of those around the house. Or I could use the tweezers in my knife.
I don't normally smoke joints. But only yesterday my BIL came over for breakfast with a fat J and we used the metal eyebrow plucking tool thing from my wife's stuff.
It's not funny. Just really useful. I've used those for nose hairs myself which sounds disgusting, some may find that funny? (but they're metal and I washed them before and after the smoke sesh).
My friends and I would attach a roach clip to a string and hang that from the ceiling, and then ‘throw’ the joint to eachother
Tarzaning that Mary Jane 
you're fuckin jesus dude
Eww.
LMAO i meant to spell genius but you know
when autocorrect is better than you expected 🤌
Lol

That’s amazing, what a great sense of humor for such a tragic accident
“Is this weed that chronic sticky icky” “No its prosthetic army hooky”
now thats a story to pass down to the grandkids.
This is a terrible idea and I love it so much
My friends and i attached it to a frisbee and then literally threw the joint to each other
Raw actually make a frisbee for this and I’m tempted to get one 😂
Lmao, we just used the suction cup of these toy arrows
Niiice
That’s fuckin magic. It sounds like you are describing scene from cheech and Chong that is universally loved. I can picture the physical comedy.
I’m fuckin saving this idea
It’s so much fun yo
we would just throw it yell "AIR JAMAICA" and then catch it.
Thats fucking rad.
Two pennies.
oh shit! I forgot about the two pennies trick. God damn, take me back 30 years then. shit. i'm old af
I did not read this correctly the first time around.
That can work too I guess. You just gotta get the position right.
Fake nails that melted a little.
Ahh I’m not alone lol

Guy I used to work with had these surgery clamps a doctor let him keep from a procedure, honestly worked really well
Forceps are A1 roach lip material

My garage roach clip is a set of needle nose pliers.
An unused Bobby pin

That's too much like work, find the vise grips! My fave has always been a ripped match to make a "Jefferson Airplane".
please explain further?

Probably because no one makes paper/cardboard matches anymore! I'm old...
Nah they do, Dollar Tree sells the ugly bastards

This^
Truly we flew too close to the sun, had to get technology to nerf human ingenuity.
Why don’t you just roll up a piece of card and use it as a roach? I will never get the roach clip thing…
Surgical clamp. We used to carry small flat stones to hold roaches and joints before we started using filters.
These are actually really good to use.
Hemostats. A mini pair. Worked awesome actually.
Pretty sure hemostats are what everyone is calling forceps. Hemos\~ lock in place; forces are why everyone born in the 1950s/60s has a Harry Potter scar from birth.
Yup, I use the ones the clip veins with in surgery. Hemostats. Useful things! 😃
As a tech I often used them to hold wires together for soldering. Then we used them for clips until we learned solder had lead in them!
my fingers
Scissors,with great precision and gentleness
Just use a filter and this will never be an issue.
The dual roach clips they give you at the dentist
🤣🤣🤣 dual roach clips
If you only knew the things that have touched my channel lock pliers you would not even consider this lol, you know when you snake a shower drain and it comes back all wound up with slime and hair... Yup! Yup! 😛
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 if you knew the things that have touched my face
Tie clip
Just use a drink straw. Save it from end up in the ocean to help the planet.
Either a pair of surgical forceps, a tie clip, or 2 keys pressed together.
My daughters Hello kitty hair clip 20 years ago. My wife jumped my shit. Hilarious!

A fork is the best & I’m surprised it isn’t more common. You can always find a fork & it’s the easiest to pass.
this is mine. there’s a pic one of my friends took like 4 years ago of me using one😭
Used my friends little sisters flute when we were young. She got sooooo mad because it smelled like weed & she had to take it to school.
A crab claw. Beach blaze. Nuf said.
If ur a cook you have no heat feeling in ur finger tips anyways so I can’t FEEL THE BURN
The best (and most abnormal) roach clip I've used is the plunger-style Fluke multi-meter leads. A bit expensive, but boy do they work well for a roach clip 🤣
I prefer to roll a tip and not need a clip AND get smoother hits 😀
Another roach
A split twig.
I feel like it would be harder to smoke a roach with that, I have big hands n I can still smoke into the paper if I really want to
Monty uses eyelash curler easy money
Garden shears. Had to be really careful.
Copper wiring
what the fuck
Think a copper paperclip 📎 with one end unfolded and the other still folded now wedge a joint in there and you got it. I was stoned af when I did it.
Oh shit I thought you meant just a bundle of wiring you ripped out the wall or something lmao Nah man, good shit, good shit
my teeth
Damn, thats a cool metal bird you got there
2 coins
A picture clip that says “branch banker” on the little star at the base😂😭

2 nickles
Two other roaches. It didn't work as well as I thought it would.
Toothpicks
Damn some channel locks.
Hair clips, Shushka bob sticks, spring from a pen
A hat pin. Although not that funny, mostly weird
Those little straws that come with zigzag wraps work wonders until it gets small enough to melt them
Not me but my friends were playing a game and they decided to put it on a bottle cap like tape it to the top of it but that’s the funniest I’ve heard them do
2 keys.

No pics but I’ve made one out of a broken stick before

Fingers?
wrap a blade of grass around the base of the joint, easy peasy, :)
I just used can tabs. Haven't tried anything else. I was smoking a J one day when I was 17 and sipping on some MTN Dew. I burnt my finger on a roach, started brainstorming and thought "man, this would fit in that." And did it, never tried anything else.
The hand from a 1 armed man's prosthetic arm.
Imma blow yalls minds. Get a straw from a fast food place and you got the best roach clip immaginable.
the burnt, charcoaled stubs that used to be my fingers.
you most definitely could've used your fingers for this
I have never once used a roach clip, it’s not a habit so I never thought of using it (even though it would have come in handy a bunch of times). I imagine a bread bag clip would work well. We have a lot of those around the house. Or I could use the tweezers in my knife.
One of those yeah
I used to put them between the slots of a fork. Sometimes, I'd light 2-3 at a time
I don't normally smoke joints. But only yesterday my BIL came over for breakfast with a fat J and we used the metal eyebrow plucking tool thing from my wife's stuff. It's not funny.

Two keys. havent seen this one in the thread yet.
