Have you ever smoked cannabis using cannabis? It might sound strange at first, but it’s common practice these days. Smokers process their buds using hemp grinders, empty the contents onto hemp rolling trays, and wrap them in hemp papers. But it doesn’t end there—smokers are also replacing lighters and matches with hemp wick. This environmentally friendly option removes butane and other nasty chemicals from the equation when lighting blunts and bowls, which makes that first hit all the tastier.
Before we get into the uses of hemp wick, it’ll help to cover the different types available to consumers. Despite their differences, most of them share something in common: they’re made from natural fibres coated in beeswax. Why beeswax? Well, this bee-derived substance helps the wick to burn gently and evenly, creating a candle-like effect. As for the different types of hemp wick, you’re likely to come across the following options when shopping around:
Aside from lighting joints, blunts, and bong bowls, hemp wick has a wide array of other uses. Check out some of the most popular ways people use hemp wick below:

Now you know all of the uses of hemp wick, but why should you use it? Isn’t it easier to simply apply a light or match to your joint? Doesn’t hemp wick just mean you have to take another step between rolling and inhaling? We get that hemp wick entails carrying around another item in your smoking arsenal, but the benefits far outweigh a slightly more packed stash box.
Whenever you apply the flame from a match or lighter to the tip of a joint and take a breath, you aren’t just inhaling smoke from combusted cannabis flowers. Lighters release butane, a toxic gas that can cause harm to the lungs, heart, and even brain. Butane also tastes nasty and detracts from the otherwise terpene-rich tastes of the first few hits. Matches—with their glue and combustible chemicals—aren’t much better.
Hemp wick helps to sidestep exposure to these chemicals and replaces them with natural materials: hemp and beeswax. Sure, no matter how you light your joint, you’re still inhaling toxic byproducts of combustion. Using hemp wick, however, prevents adding even more pesky chemicals to the picture.
