TUTORIAL: How to Roll a Joint

Hey guys, just made this short little video for my friend who needed some help so I thought I'd share it with the community as well. Hopefully this can help some others as well---

ummm, not trying to be a dick at all, but have you watched your own video before posting it??

i'm about a minute and a half in and still haven't seen the j as it's off camera and not even in the shot.. and the few seconds it is in the shot, your thumb is covering it and i still couldn't really see it..

might have been an excellent video, but i have no clue as i can't see wtf you're doing in over half of it..
again, not trying to be a dick, just offering some constructive criticism.

constructive criticism number 1

make sure the camera is showing what you wanna teach.

^^im confused... do you need to zoom back on your browser?... I can see it.

lmao, yeah heartland, i took your advice and zoomed out in mine and now i can see it.. forgot i have horrible eyes and have mine jacked up to 125% to see anything..
to the op, sorry about that, lol...

yeah it's clearly visible for me. Although I already knew how to roll that is a fine joint you got there sir.

Dude... it took me months to figure that one out.. I was all like "wtf?"... That started when the ads in the upper right started. Glad I could help.

And to the OP... nice video, nice joint.

stickie please

damn, i'm having problems quoting people tonight, but that's effin funny heartland.. like i said, i can't see poo anymore and jack my screen up to 125% to see shit better, i'd never have put the two together..
here i'm all wondering why dude posts a video where you can't even see wtf he's doing, and i'm the idiot, lol.. too funny..

Ya I was like, uhhhhh ya I watched it before I posted it! lol
Just thought you were being extremely picky. S'all good, though

Thanks for the responses, guys!

Im all thumbs, my joints all turn out the same - crappy.

step one- 2 grams of weed
step two-roller
step three-insert weed into joint roller, close spin once
step four-insert paper and roll again till you see gum tape, lick said gum tape and roll again
step five- open joint roller and light up.

Well yeah man, anyone can use a joint roller. But a true hand rolled joint is an art form. I'd rather smoke good hand rolled joints all day.

None the less thanks for the response!

I have herpes of the mouth, would you recommend that I do not lick the joint? Cool video btw.

Well if you have herpes I'm assuming you're smoking the joint by yourself. So in that case, I think that would be fine

---- Bump me ----

I have a much simpler way. just say "Hey____, roll this or no smokey smokey"

Indeed, and honestly, you still need some practice before it can be called art. Looks 'ok' though, good job nevertheless.

Are you left handed? If not, you got the tip on the wrong side.

It also looks like you got the tip itself turned around. Basically when you roll the joint you should roll the tip tighter slightly so it opens again like a spring and fits tightly.

Not being rude here in any way . I was just hoping to see a pro roll a joint and show others how it is done . The hands were a bit uneasy here and not that fluent in rolling , it looked like my 3 year old learning to ride a bike so to say .

You should be able to be one with the paper and weed while allowing your fingers to move swift and accurate as the joint is rolled in one motion after pre rolling and extending the herb , like a guitarist plays cords. The hands shown didn't even support the paper until it all left the desk , most times not people have to roll with something in there lap and usually do not use a support system to load the paper .

Again no offence meant here but someone needed to point out the rough rolling here . Some people are able to roll a joint and others can do it blindfolded due to repetition but this is not how I would want to learn to roll .
