What could be more beautiful than the simplicity of ground cannabis rolled in thin paper? Joints offer control for precise dosing, and once you know how to roll one, they require minimal prep time. They’re portable, and perfect for a personal smoke or to share with friends.
STEP 1
Gather your materials
- Rolling papers
- Ground cannabis
- Grinder (optional)
STEP 2
Prepare your cannabis
Use a grinder or your fingers to break down your cannabis into smaller, even pieces. This helps ensure a consistent burn and optimal airflow.
STEP 3
Prepare the joint
Place a filter tip or crutch at one end of the rolling paper (opposite the gummed edge). This will serve as a mouthpiece and provide stability to the joint.
STEP 4
Fill and shape the joint
Hold the rolling paper with the adhesive side facing you. Then distribute the ground marijuana evenly along the length of the rolling paper. Make sure it’s slightly thicker in the middle and tapered towards the ends.
Use your fingertips to shape the cannabis into a cylindrical form, gently tamping it down for compact, but even distribution.
STEP 5
Roll the joint
Starting from the end closest to you, use your thumbs and index fingers to roll the paper back and forth, tucking it under the cannabis. Apply light pressure to form a cylinder shape. Then, lick the adhesive edge of the rolling paper and continue rolling until the joint is fully sealed.
STEP 6
Finish and light
Gently pack the open end of the joint to ensure an even burn and proper airflow. Use a lighter or a hemp wick to ignite the end of the joint while inhaling from the mouthpiece.
Rotate the joint as you inhale to ensure an even burn.
Keep up the Practice!
Rolling a joint requires a bit of practice, but once mastered, it becomes a straightforward process. You can also check out the pre-rolled joints on sale at Key Cannabis Dispensary.
