Heavy smoker but cant roll.

Discussion in 'Marijuana Consumption Q&A' started by RedHaze36, Apr 11, 2015.

  1. I've been smoking for a while and still have yet to get good at rolling... I love paper but I've tried and tried and can't get any technique. Any tips on what I should do? Everyone who tried to teach me are astonished on how shitty I do every time.
     
  2.  
    Yeah, that's me right there lol. I usually don't like joints so I never bothered to learn. Someone had given me some RAW cones though, and I realized I enjoyed walking around at night smoking one. Once the cones are gone I'm going to get some papers and whatnot and watch youtube vids on TV and figure it out. If I can't learn it, I'm just going back to cones lol.
     
  3. Fair enough lol I love cones too, they made me want to learn how roll fatty carrot joints.
     
  4. I Learned How To Roll With Flavored Papers,,Then I Got Really Good A Rolling Blunts/Extendo's
    Now All I Smoke Is Raw Papers,, (Not Cones)

    I Taught Myself How To Roll And Now I Believe I Pre-Roll Suburban G6's
    And My Favorite Is The Bong

    It Just Takes A Little Practice Bro..

  5. Mate, get one of those little cigarette rollers.  Roll before you get with your friends if you don't want them to know.  Otherwise, practice, practice, practice.
     
  6. Honey been smoking 20+yrs and I still can't roll, give me a good bong to share...
     
  7. use your mouth to pull on the paper as you form it and tuck it.. its like a third hand i swear. also twist the ends reffered to as the boat technique. bong the roach..
     
  8. Everyone makes it out harder than it needs to be. By far it's super easy. Just roll it how you think it should be rolled.
     
  9. That's a good tip. Thanks man!

    I use em all the time lol I don't care about it, I just want to learn it. haha
     
  10. It took me forever, but I finally learned with blunts. Blunts are a lot more forgiving when rolling, so you can work on your technique there. Blunts smoke better anyways.
     
  11. First I even out the weed in the crease, then I get it rolling with my thumbs on my side, and my index and middle fingers on the outside, making sure to keep it even. Then I jump my index fingers over the gum to my side and push the paper down so it catches underneath. Move my fingers back to the original position and tighten it up, wet it, and seal the deal.
     
    Some might laugh at all that, but I don't roll with double wides where you have a lot of paper... I use Raw king naturals and they're always stuffed. The consistency of your broken-up bud should be soft and spongey for the best roll.

  12. Start by having a good filter, then you can roll anything =D
     
  13. youtube the card trick. Any one whos never rolled one joint in their life can flex a perfect one with this method in 1-2 tries.

  14. Exactly how my new friend explained it to me. Already picked it up a little it faster. Thanks man!
     
  15. Wiz Khalifa honestly does have a few good videos on YouTube to show you how to roll joint. Just remember, push your thumbs up on the paper, while pulling down with all your other fingers. Let the paper roll itself, just guide it after your tuck. I hate the boat method, I can roll 3 joints in the time my friends will roll 1. And they burn fine, they're pretty good. Then again, rolling burritos for 2 years helps with your tuck and roll technique, honestly. Go apply at Chipotle or something and improve. Hahah or dont. But just push your thumbs up, pull your forefinger down. The paper will roll. Or get a rolling machine for $6 and have perfect weed cigarettes each time. :) Just not as satisfying to smoke.
     
  16. Just need practice and need to get a feel for it.
     
    Tip I learned from a 45 year old stoner, lick your fingers then wipe them on your pants.  This will add some grip to your fingers making the rolling process easier.
     
    I used to be the worst roller but eventually I got the hang of it.  Although I never smoke joints they are fun once in a while.

  17. learn how to roll with a pencil and dollar bill (many many youtube videos on it, take your pick), roll that way a couple of times, it will give you a good feel for tightness and how the paper catches, and then start practising with just your hands when you feel that you're ready.
     
    I also like to break up my nugs with my hands when I roll because it makes your hands a little sticky and allows you to grip the paper better.

    Rolling is an art. Most people try to roll fatties, not good for most starters, I prefer pinners myself, if you have more smoke rolling off the end of your roll then you have in your lungs your wasting it IMO, (tangent I have wondered what is the perfect amount of smoke to inhale to get the most out of your stash ?  Any lab studies on that subject I would gladly volunteer !!!!
    Anyway, after folding your paper, and placing a small amount in the creases, your finger placement should be. index finger above (to tuck the paper over it), thumb in front (to twirl it up), middle finger under (for support)
    Once you have your fingers in place roll (twirl) as you slide your index finger to the outside edges and out of the way. Once the gummed portion is just above quickly lick it, and complete the roll.
    Use tobacco to practice with as we don't want any real wasted materials....right!
