How to Roll a Joint

A Step by Step Guide

Step 1:

Gather your materials: Tips, Papers, Grinder, Bowl, Pencil, and Greens.

Step 2:

Grab one of your tips. Make three small folds. Your tip (filter/crutch) makes it easier to roll and smoke. If you don’t have tips, tear off a 1.5 x .5 inch rectangular piece of firm paper (business cards, rolling paper packages, raw tips, etc) and roll it onto itself to create one.

Step 3:

Roll it up nice and tight.

Step 4:

Time to grind. Use a grinder (best), fingers or scissors. Break up your greens and place them into the grinder.

Step 5:

Shred the flowers thoroughly with even consistency (neither too fine nor coarse). Remove any stems and sticks.

Step 6:

Lay the paper on a flat surface, with the sticky side on top and facing you. Create a fold lengthwise down the middle if it’s not already there. Put your tip on the left side. Spread greens evenly.

Step 7:

Pinch the ends of the paper with your thumb and index fingers. Begin to roll the paper up and down, spreading the cannabis out evenly and creating a consistent shape.

Step 8:

Roll your thumbs all the way down until you can tuck the paper edge closest to you under the filter. Roll your thumbs back up so the paper rolls over the cannabis, creating a closed joint. Roll tight and pull hands away from each other to keep the joint taught as you roll.

Step 9:

Once you’ve rolled it to the end, lick the glue along the top and seal the joint.

Step 10:

Find a pen to pack down the cannabis and fill the joint with any extra.

Step 11:

Twist it up.

Step 12:

Enjoy!
