Rolling A Joint: Step By Step

Rolling a joint is just another important technique that any marijuana smoker needs to have in his arsenal. Just like rolling blunts, a skilled joint roller can do it in a minute or two and their joints are perfect. In my own opinion I fancy blunts a lot more and I find it easier to roll a good blunt than rolling a good joint, but I know how to do it my way when I can’t find any blunt wraps, plus rolling papers are a lot cheaper than blunt wraps.

Step By Step Rolling A Joint

1. First thing you need to do, like rolling a blunt, is to break up the weed AKA marijuana. Just use your fingers, a razor blade, or a grinder to break up the bud. You want it to be broken down well for a joint so you can pack it better. You’ll need about a half a gram to a gram for the typical joint.
2. Get some rolling papers, these can be found online, or at a gas station. Online stores often have a wider variety of flavors and kinds, like the clear plastic rolling papers that you see on all the marijuana documentaries. While a gas station can have anything from a few to a shitload of rolling papers, you just have to know where to look. Typically the gas stations ran and owned by Indians have loads of smoking paraphernalia.
3. Take your rolling paper and fold it in half, usually they are already creased, make sure the part with the glue is sticking up. The glue is a darker band on one side of the rolling paper.
4. Load it up with weed, usually I like to sprinkle it on evenly at a time. Grab the joint between your index fingers and your thumbs and roll it gently, this helps pack the weed down in the joint. If you practice and have a good grip on the paper the weed will naturally get compressed and kind of rolled in the joint.
5. Now here is where I differ than most people, it’s hard to roll a joint by tucking the bottom side of the paper into between the top side of the rolling paper and weed, so I just have the weed sitting in the rolling paper in the V shape but with about 3/4 of the paper on the back of the V and a 1/4 of the paper on the front, now place it down on your rolling surface and roll the bottom part of the rolling paper into itself like rolling a paper tube with the weed inside. This allows you to roll it tightly without using as much technique as other joint rolling methods.
6. Before you finish rolling the joint, lick the glue/gum before you make that last part of the roll and then seal it up. You can lick the outside a little bit to seal it even better, cause sometimes you don’t get a good lick on the glue.
7. Dry your joint and enjoy



Here is a video by High Times that shows how to easily roll a joint, sometimes a video is alot easier to learn from than just words and pictures:


I actually think that rolling a joint is harder than rolling a blunt and I prefer a blunt because of the added kick from the tobacco, but joints are just as good when you’re trying to conserve weed, and when they are rolled properly.
