How To Roll a Joint [Beginner's Guide]


how to roll a joint

Have you ever tried to roll a joint, and it just wouldn't work? You probably ended up with something that looked like a worm. Well, today we are going to teach you how to roll a joint, so it's perfect every time.


Items You'll need

To roll a joint, you will need the following items:

  • Weed

  • Grinder

  • King-Sized Rolling Papers

  • Filter

Now that you know what you'll need and the tips to help you roll a joint, let's get started! Here are five detailed steps on how to roll a joint.


Step One - Grind Your Weed

The process of making a cannabis roll begins with the marijuana grind. You'll need a cannabis grinder for this, and it's important to grind your cannabis until you reach the desired degree of consistency.


This ensures that you have finely ground cannabis, which makes rolling easier. If you don't have a cannabis grinder, you may use scissors to cut your buds into little pieces.


Although this isn't the greatest method, the end result will still be good. Simply ensure that your cannabis is evenly chopped so that the joint roll does not come out uneven.


Step Two - Fill the Paper with Cannabis

The next stage is to fill the rolling paper with the appropriate quantity of cannabis after grinding your marijuana. Take a look at the type of cannabis joint you're attempting to make and use it as a guide for how much weed to put in the paper.


If you're rolling a typical cannabis joint, use 0.25 grams of cannabis in the cannabis rolling paper. If you're attempting to make a cannabis spliff, place approximately 0.75 grams of cannabis in the Cannabis roll paper.


It's also a good idea to avoid overdoing it with cannabis since this will cause your joint to burn unevenly, and the result won't be pleasant (insufficient ventilation).


Also, make sure to spread it around evenly so that the joint is well-packed but not too tight. If you stuff your marijuana too firmly, lighting and smoking, it will be difficult.


Step Three - Shape It Into A Cone

The next cannabis roll stage is to form the joint shape. This is a crucial cannabis roll step since if your joint isn't in the proper cone form, it won't burn properly, resulting in an unpleasant taste in your mouth.


To form a cone, start by folding the cannabis rolling paper in half and then rolling it loosely on both sides so that none of the cannabis sticks out.


After you've rolled the cannabis roll paper into a joint form, use your thumbs and index fingers on both hands (one for each) to form a circle around the marijuana joint. This will give you an indication of the size of your marijuana joint.


Place your cannabis joint between the two fingers on each hand (one finger for one side of the cannabis roll paper). Start to roll the cannabis rolling paper back and forth with your thumbs, gradually building up a cone-shaped joint that is about halfway up from both ends of the cannabis rolling paper.


The shape of this cannabis joint will ensure that your cannabis joint burns evenly. If the cannabis joint is too big, use your thumbs and index fingers to roll it down until it is the desired size. You may also increase the quantity of cannabis in the rolling paper if the joint is too small.

Step Four: Roll it Up and Light It!

The next step is to roll up the joint, making sure that it's tightly packed. This will ensure that your joint burns slowly and evenly.


To do this, start from the bottom of the cone and use your fingers to roll it upwards until you reach the top. Be careful not to press too hard, or the cannabis might fall out!


Now it's time to light up your joint! Ensure to do this away from anything flammable and in a well-ventilated area.


Take a deep breath, hold it in and then enjoy your perfectly rolled cannabis joint!


Step Five - The Final Touches

There are a few things you can do after rolling your cannabis joint to make it look even better. For example, you can use a cannabis leaf to cover up the gummed edge of the rolling paper.


You can also sprinkle some cannabis pollen on top of the joint for extra flavor and effects.


Finally, you can twist off the end of the joint to create a small hole that will make it easier to smoke. Enjoy!


Tips On Smoking Your Joint

Here are a few tips on how to smoke your cannabis joint so that you get the most out of it:

  • Make sure that the cannabis joint is lit evenly before smoking. If one end is not lit, then the cannabis joint will not burn evenly and will taste bad.

  • Don't suck too hard on the cannabis joint, as this might cause the cannabis joint to disintegrate.

  • After that, take little puffs every 30 seconds until you have finished the whole joint.

  • If your joint is too harsh, then you can put a filter on the end. There are many different types of filters available, including roach clips, party hats, and even an apple.

  • If your joint starts to go out, then lick your finger and apply moisture to the end of the cannabis roll paper so that it will stay lit.
