Rolling a joint should take you as much time as it takes you to break the bud up and put it in.
All your doing is trying to push the front end under the spot that is tightest in the back, while rolling it like your holding the end of a pencil but you only have the joint up to your thumbs fingernail or less. And packing the bud too tight is a risk when your taking too long to roll it. My honest advice, roll it smoke and get it under the back flap on your first try.

ive been using hemp papers and i just roll it by hand. the most important part is making sure there r no sharpp stems that will poke through and ruin your joint. i am pretty good at it but i dont roll the most beautifull joint, they do smoke well usually. ive had a few bombs,

Always rolled by hand personally.. there's something satisfying about smoking somethimg you've formed yourself, one of the reasons I love a good old fashioned joint.. aesthetic pleasure lol.

I love presenting a pretty spliff as a gift ^^

Cones are easy to roll because you can get more control with that solid little roach, and tip the joint upwards as you go so nothing falls out... And you can always tip a bit in at the top X3 also it's easy to poke down, twist off and light if you have a nice broad top. Lol there aren't too many girls I know who can roll a joint, which I find sad in an odd way. They're all into glassware...

Everyone has their preferences, I find when friends roll for eachother, they subconsciously replicate that person's style.

jesh, i know lots of chics who roll.. and that whole tip thing kind of freaks me out to be honest.. when i was in amsterdam... they gave you tips with packs of papers, and i was like wtf are these things, lol.. i can't get the hang of rolling it with the tip in the end for some reason i get the tip end too tight and can't roll out the other end right, the whole tip just fucks me right up for whatever reason, lol..
i was trying to find onlie the marijuana paper rolling guide i was talking about... it's not something i'd do everyday, but what a great thing to bring to a party imho.. break a few of the out, and it's a great convo starter for sure.. i think they have have tied them to like poles kind of if i remember right, they were bad ass looking for sure, looked almost like an old skool thai stick..

I always put my roach in at the very end, it's alot easier imo.. I used to smoke j's with no roach but when your smoking hash, getting shotgunned isn't nice.. so I broke that habit. I always roll cones as well, much better smoke I think.. plus a big fat cone looks awwesssome

Hmm... I only know 1 girl who rolls and everyone on 420 Girlz is completely nuts over their pipes or bongs. Then there are those annoying girls whose boyfriends grow/buy/roll all their weed for them 0_o

Everywhere is different I guess.

i guess i just need to sit down one day with a pack of papers and a pile of bud and sit and roll all different kinds of j's and cones and what not all day long till i feel like i got the knack for it..
i can roll an ok joint and a blunt, but i will openly admit that i do much better with say the 1.5 wide's and not the shorty papers at all.. i tend to use the extra paper to help me roll them with, i know it's not the best method as you end up smoking way more paper.. i'm the same way with blunts.. i'm fine so long as i have a phillies full sized blunt or even i like the games, those suckers are huge, lol..
but i accidentily bought i phillies cigarillo thing the other day.. i didn't realize it till i opened it and went to crack it... i ended up pulling the blunt off after a lil struggling, and i was damn proud of myself even if it wasn't as nice as my blunts normally are..
i tend to tuck the first wrap in so that i can hold it tight with all of the left over paper that i have, then i can just roll it up from there.. where i struggle is when say that first wrap is super tight and i don't have all of the paper behind it to use to my benefit.. wtf am i doing wrong here?? i'd love to get the tip on how to roll fatties with the shorter papers... but i can't figure out what i'm doing wrong.. i think it's something i'm doing or not doing on that first tuck..

fuck knows man, I just stick 2 skins together at the ends and do a gum transfer to join it down the middle of the where the 2 skins meet and roll on from there.. I always try and get it tight at the bottom and therest follows suit

practice makes perfect. as long as the practice isnt you siting down witha big stash and a bunch of papes trying over and over to get it right. its going to take awhile man. dont give up. but dont sit there and try to perfect it in one sitting either. it wont happen. just keep rolling em and by this time next yr youll be like yep, my jizzis sho iz nice nigga.

I found you can't roll blunts like jays

blunts you can tuck in and work it from one end to the other, even putting it down and coming back.. then unstick and restick.


joints are like one quick motion.... toss ur herb in, push your bud down, roll the paper back and forth between your fingers until it compresses into a cylindrical cone... then roll back, and alll the way to where the glue strip side has a bunch of paper and the non glue strip side is flush against the nug...keep the non glue paper against the nug, tight, and use the length of your finger to keep the glue strip side as TIGHT as possible, no slack, and just roll/wrap the paper around until it's flush then lick from the back with the roll of the paper and the glue strip will get wet without your tongue touching it and it will stick... really clean... thats a normal joint like the one in the middle i posted

maybe you can get some little tip /shortcut from that to help you out racerboy? I wasn't really understanding what you were asking...




LOL you don't even want me to try to type out how i roll a backflip :?

I find it easier to roll a fatty with skinny papers actually. The reverse used to be the case, for some reason though, times have changed.

Verde, I don't think I could have worded it better x

i agree. i use standard zigzags. not the 1.5s. and my joints come out fatter than those rolled with a 1.5 from my buddy. its all in technique man. you must hone in your technique. i learned alil from everyone ive seen roll upa duuby.

i'll get my first wrap tight, and tuck it behind all of the bud, but use the paper that i have left over to kind of tuck it behind, if that makes sense at all.. than i can either use my lips and hold the extra paper tight while i roll the joint tight the rest of the way up, or i can just hold it with my fingers, but i do really good when i use my lips to help pull it tight...
and when i don't have that extra bit of paper to tuck in behind and hold the rolled part tight, i'm screwed.. i can't figure out how to roll them tight when you've either got them stuffed with bud or are using shorter papers..
i guess practice makes perfect, and i'll try out what verde mentioned as i've seen more than one of his joints and have been impressed on more than one occasion for sure..
