The Marijuana mix is perhaps the most important part of the joint.

Make sure the consistency is even. Remove any lumps or woody bits.

If you are rolling a pure-weed joint, make sure your material is absolutely dry.

  1. Shape

    The shape of the joint is determined by how you distribute the mix over the papers. Use long papers.

Most Joints are cone-shaped. Cones tend to smoke more smoothly than straight joints but are slightly harder to roll.

  1. The Roach or ‘Filter’

    Joints usually don’t have a filter like a filter cigarette does. A Joint filter is more like a mouth piece.

Joint Filters are made of cardboard. Cut an apprx. 2.2 x 0.7 Inch (5.5 x 1.7 cm) piece of thin cardboard and roll it up tightly.

Insert it at the left of your mix.

  1. Roll it

Let your thumbs do most of the work and give support and pressure with your forefingers.

You should start to feel the mix firming inside the paper.

  1. Seal it

  1. Smoke it

Loose joints taste rough, burn too fast and have a nasty habit of setting fire to clothing and furniture.
