Problems with my joint

Discussion in 'Apprentice Marijuana Consumption' started by SeraphySmokes99, Nov 19, 2010.

    First of all, I did search my question and it helped but it still didn't quite answer my questions thoroughly.

    What happened:

    I rolled up a joint using a dollar bill as a joint wrap into a cone shape and tamped it down pretty compact (i thought that was good) and I sort of messed up when I added the filter to it (may have folded down some of the paper on the inside) but it seemed like it was a good joint. (I have rolled good/working joints before) So when I went to smoke it, it took a lot to get a decent hit out of it (and I never really did) and it kept not lighting. I even broke off the filter cuz I thought it was just blocking smoke entirely and it still was hard to hit.

    My thoughts:
    After searching around, I am pretty sure I rolled my joint too tight (fortunately I only smoked a little bit so i'll mix it in with some other ground up weed and just reuse) but to me it didn't seem like I made it any tighter than usual. Also, the papers I'm using are a bit old, but the gum sticks when licked and they burn well, so i don't think that's the issue.

    Summary and question:

    Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to give as much info as I could to get the best answer. So I'm pretty sure I rolled it too tightly, but is that the only thing I did wrong?

    Please and thanks for the answers.

    Sorry man I'm not really good with eyeballing how much and I don't have a scale. I would guess anywhere from .25-.5 though. Want me to take a pic to verify?

    Pics don't hurt, i wouldn't try and roll a cone until you can roll a good normal j .

    I used to have the same problem. Just chop up the weed really well that usually helps, or grind it up.

    I did grind it up. =\

    And here are the pictures. Sorry it took so long, my digital camera is acting up. So I had to take them with my phone and the quality isn't too good.

    First is how much I was left with before I stopped (about 4-6 hits in), second pic is the joint unsmoked.

    Maybe because you used a dollar bill.

    Ugh but every time I make a handrolled joint it's sooo loose. I guess I just have to practice more...

    then practice regular rolling before resorting to the card trick.
