These days, weed is more popular than ever. Weed is technically still illegal on the federal level; you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who’s not pro-marijuana.
You likely already know its perks if you’re a long-time pot smoker for people waiting to try it.
We’ve got you covered if you don’t know how to roll a joint. Keep reading for everything you need to know about rolling a joint.
The Basics
A first-timers guide on how to roll a joint starts with the basics. Begin with a rolling paper of your choice; rice, hemp, or flavored papers if you feel fancy. Gather some filters if you’d like, a poker to shape the cannabis, and of course, cannabis flower – an even, finely ground texture is critical.
First, place the filter at one end of the paper with enough of the paper left to form the joint quickly. Spread the cannabis evenly throughout the piece, adding pinches wherever necessary.
Next, roll the paper up, and use a poker to compress and shape the roll until it’s snug and even. Finally, lick the glue strip and roll the whole joint, and you’re ready to get lit!
Gather Necessary Materials
Rolling papers come in various sizes, from the popular king-size down to the ultra-slim 1 1/4 size. Your cannabis of choice should be ground in a grinder to ensure an even finish to your joint. A filter tip (optional) can be made with rolling paper, or you can purchase pre-made ones.
Once you have all the equipment, start by folding the joint rolling paper in half lengthwise with the gummed edge exposed. Place the filter tip at one end of the article and top it with your ground cannabis.
Start to roll the cannabis evenly by tucking the paper and work your way up the roll to make a tight joint. Use the moist gummed edge to seal the joint, and your finished product is ready to be smoked!
Step-by-Step Instructions
Begin by grinding your cannabis with the grinder until it is a fine consistency. Then lay your rolling paper out on the tray, take a pinch of cannabis, and tap it gently down the center of the article.
Then use your finger to move the cannabis around the paper so that it is even as you roll it between your thumb and forefinger. Tuck the tips of the form into the crease you made and lick the seal to help it stick, then twist and roll until the report is tight around the cannabis.
Enhancing the Flavors
Enhancing the flavors is an essential part of your journey. Choose a strain of cannabis from Harvest that suits your palette. Countless varieties are available, so some research and experimentation may be in order.
You’ll want to add some flavor to the mix, try experimenting with different flavored papers, such as cherrywood, or mix tobaccos like Cavendish with your cannabis. Finally, light your joint and enjoy the flavor you created.
