How to Roll a Joint

Step 1:

Break up the herb making sure to remove all seeds and stems. Also make sure there are no chunks which might rip through the paper.

Step 2:

Take out a rolling paper and hold it gummed side up. Fold it horizontally, leaving a crease just under the center fold. For better results, twist both bottom corners so that the paper makes a pouch.

Step 3:

Place the desired amount of pot in the paper, distributing it evenly across. You must remember to leave enough room to roll it up.

Step 4:

Begin to twist the paper filled with bud back and forth between your thumb and index finger so that is begins to tighten and take shape.

Step 5:

Start to roll it from the bottom up with the same fingers.

Step 6:

Lick the gummed edge while continuing the rolling motion until the paper has completely overlapped.

Step 7:

If you are a beginner, chances are the first few joints you roll will be loose. You can tighten it by placing it vertically on a horizontal dollar bill. Fold the dollar bill around the joint and tightly roll it back and forth with your fingers. Remove the bill and the joint should be much tighter.
