How To Roll A Classic Joint
Everybody starts somewhere. Mozart didn’t always play the piano. The Williams sisters didn’t always hit blistering serves. And even the most experienced joint roller had to practice in order to master the craft. Being frustrated with yourself will not help you achieve your goal. But keeping with it, using the right tools, and believing in yourself will help guide you on your path. Visualize it now: holding a perfectly rolled joint in your hands to enjoy with yourself and others. Never forget: The magic is in your mind.
1. Grind your herb so it has uniform consistency; you don’t want stems to rip the paper.
2. Take out a new piece of rolling paper. Make sure the glue edge is flat and crisp. Don’t be afraid to toss out a paper or two if it looks as though it’s begun to curl up.
3. Don’t be afraid to toss out a paper or two if it looks as though it’s begun to curl up.
4. Slowly pour out your weed onto the paper so it’s as even as possible.
5. Pick up the paper carefully and begin massaging the cannabis so it’s even and packed down in a moderately firm cylindrical shape.
6. Begin tucking the paper in. You can keep the folding edge tight by pulling at the opposite end of the paper.
7. Tuck the paper in little by little until you are at the top of the joint.
8. Moisten the glue edge, seal up the joint, and breathe deeply. You’ve just rolled a perfect joint.
