🌀 Step-by-Step: How to Roll a Joint
Step 1: Grind Your Herb
Use a quality grinder to break your herb into an even consistency. This helps ensure an even burn and makes the rolling easier.
Step 2: Prepare the Filter (Tip)
Roll your tip into a tight cylinder and place it at one end of your paper. This creates a stable mouthpiece and makes rolling easier.
Step 3: Fill the Paper
Hold your rolling paper with the adhesive strip facing up and towards you. Add the ground herb evenly along the center, placing more near the tip end for structure.
Step 4: Shape the Joint
Gently roll the paper back and forth between your fingers to shape the herb into a cylinder. This step is key to getting an even roll.
Step 5: Tuck and Roll
Once shaped, tuck the unglued side of the paper into the roll and start rolling upward. Lick the glue strip and seal the joint.
Step 6: Pack the End
Use a pen, stick, or the tip of your grinder to gently pack the open end. Twist the tip to seal it.
