"HOW TO ROLL A JOINT" (Damn Near Perfectly)

1. Grind your weed

Grinding evens out the flower so you get consistent sizes and a consistent burn. If you don’t have your own grinder, break down the bud a bit by hand and remove any seeds or steamy pieces you find along the way.

2. Make a crutch or grab a filter

If you plan to use a crutch or filter, you can make one out of heavy paper by rolling a rectangular piece into a half-inch long piece. Or, you can make things simple and pick up some pre-made crutches or filters for rolling.

3. Load it up

With your paper laid out flat and your crutch or filter placed on one end, scoop up the paper in your hand and hold it between two fingers like a taco shell. Sprinkle your bud evenly across the paper in a slim line. Remember, the more you load the harder it will be to get a good roll.

4. Roll it up

Pinch the paper together into a sort of taco shape. Carefully, roll the paper in a back and forth motion to get the weed evenly distributed and pack it into a tubular shape. You want the weed loose enough that it burns because of good airflow but tight enough that the thing doesn’t just burn up in just a few hits. When you’re satisfied with the layout and pack, start tucking the non-adhesive end over the bud and rolling as you go.

5. Seal it up

Joint papers come preloaded with a thin strip of adhesive that is activated with moisture. So, when you’re happy with the layout and form, run your tongue along the glue strip lightly and slowly seal the joint by pressing the adhesive to the roll.

6. SMOKE UP!
