Not only does a neatly rolled joint look good, but it also burns evenly, and should give you a hit of pleasure with every toke. If you are new to cannabis and learning the ropes or looking to up your rolling game, this step-by-step guide will show you how to roll a classic joint, along with a few tips and tricks to nailing this timeless classic. joint roller machine

supplies needed

  • Cannabis Flower. When starting off, think small, use standard-sized rolling papers with a half gram of cannabis.
  • Rolling Papers. For beginners, try hemp papers—both thin and strong, they typically burn evenly without affecting the taste of your flower.
  • Crutch (Optional). Since you can make a crutch out of just about anything, they are commonly DIYed—thin cardboard or business cards trimmed to size are common go-tos.
  • Grinder (Optional)
  • Poker, Pencil, or Pen (Optional)

alright, let’s get started

Have all your supplies ready? Take a deep breath, you got this.

  • Step 1: Prepare Your Cannabis Flower First off, you’ll want to break all those pretty fluffy nugs of yours down into a smaller, uniform size. This can be quickly accomplished with an herb grinder, but if you don’t have one, you can break your flower down by hand, with scissors, or any other preferred method.
  • Step 2: Create Your Crutch (Optional) To make a crutch, bend your paper into “accordion” folds at one end, then roll the remaining paper around the folds to the thickness of the joint you plan to roll.
  • Step 3: Fill Your Paper Place your crutch (if using) at one end of the rolling paper and then center the ground cannabis on it. Hold the crutch between your thumb and index finger to keep it in place. Once set up, you can start forming and shaping the joint with your fingers.
  • Step 4: Pack Once shaped, pinch the paper between your fingertips and roll it back and forth to pack the cannabis down into its classic tube shape. Be careful to pack the bud to the same width as your filter. This will help keep your smoke smooth and even.
  • Step 5: Roll Now you are ready to roll the joint—keep in mind this is the step that can make or break the quality of your joint. Pinch the two sides of the paper together, and roll them up and down against one another.
  • Step 6: Finish Once you're ready to finish the joint, fold the ungummed side of the paper over the bud, towards the gummed side. Once there, seal the paper by licking the gummed section. Finally, pack the end to help ensure an even burn. If you’re not planning on sparking up right away, close the tip with a twist. 

tips and tricks

Here are a few additional tips and tricks to advance your roll.

Start with the crutch side. This will help guide the paper as it rolls around itself. Once the paper is tacked down on one end, you can work your way down the rest of the seam by tucking and sealing the joint to the end.

Make use of items around the house. A pen or pencil is a great tool to compact the unfiltered end to make sure the cannabis grinds are even. You can also use a dollar bill to help, simply fold a dollar bill in half and put your ground weed in it. Roll it back and forth, slip a rolling paper behind it, roll it up, and give it a lick.
