Veteran's Confession

Id say lay off the joints for awhile and use a pipe or bong...relax then go back to rollin....hope things get better

 

Mine are like 50% of the time absolutely perfect, the rest are do-overs.

More ya think about it when one is doing it seems to be the main factor, or attempting to 'over roll it'.

I started smoking Gambler tobacco recently, so I get a lot of practice in rolling.

 

Unless I'm absolutly focused on the J. Yeah, I'll have to re-roll it. Happens. Same with blunts. No grey area.

Hence the rason I'm so friendly with my bong.

 

Grind it up a lot and just make nice cylindrical log joints, that's what I do and it's easy and works great.

 

For me it's just natural to roll a nice cone, no matter what. It's just the style of rolling that I do.

It's a lot easier when you have a lot of bud.

 

Sometimes when i roll a joint i make it bad that u tear it up and redo it till i like what it looks like...i have to hard on my slef so i wont constantly re lite it.

 

if it comes out bad just start over, papers arent that expensive

 

maybe go to a blunt, ive found even if the blunt isnt pretty or particularly the best, its still going to hit better than a messed up joint. atleast IMO.

 

yeah I roll joints, but actually its just a mini blunt. They burn longer and are so much easier to roll.

 

Rasta_Man,don't even trip.I'm a very conservative person,and I too seek perfection in all aspects of life,sometimes excessively.

Say for instance in my art.I love graffiti,and whenever I do a piece,I try to make sure that every detail is perfected,at least by my standpoint. But it can be really hard to make things perfect sometimes,and sometimes you have to go with what you have,or try to do better next time.

I'm sure you are aware of this already,I just wanted to give my two cents,because I feel that this is a worthwhile thread to give a worthwhile response to.Peace and Love R_M.

 

Shit dont sweat it.. around here joints are rarely smoked.. cant roll a good spliff for the life of me. Honestly im too lazy to even pack my bowls anymore.

 

maybe your nervous because your wanting to hurry up and smoke but if it continues take a break and smoke out of a pipe.

 

maybe try different rolling methods? shit, even table roll one just for the hell of it, sometimes we gotta get back to our basics before we can get over our little shitty spots well, works for me so shut up!

 

I'm a perfectionist. I never roll a bad joint. The only time I roll bad joints is if the gum isn't good enough and it falls apart.

 

Here, follow this tutorial.

Hi, I am John your tourguide.

We all know this situation: nothing happening online and going out for some healthy activity is just a bit too much activity.



So when it gets really boring there is nothing better than meeting some friends. ... who know how to waste time and health.



Note Jim with the green stuff.



Ok, so we are packed and ready to go:

Step 1 - Unpack the Paper and get the tobacco out of the cigarette (moisture will help)



Step 2 - Put some Tobacco on the paper and make a little roll for the mouth piece



Step 3 - Now it comes to the all important marijuana just put as much as you like on the tobacco (more is more)



Step 4 - Now grab the entire thing and roll it in your fingers until it all forms a kind roll



Step 5 - The hardest part is the actual rolling. But it is solvable right ?!



... CAREFULL handling will make it better ...



Step 6 - Now just rip of the leftover paper (when you roll inside-out)



Now take a deep breath and feel the force



... and don't forget to share with your friends



Till next time



SMOOOOKE IT!

 

stop thinking about it so much. the best joints i roll always surprise me cuz i wasnt really paying attention to it. you know you can, so just do it.

 

haha conchanga, that roll guide is the shit man! I love those lego dudes.

did you make this guide, or were you just referencing it?

the only problem is that the lego men aren't able to illustrate the exact finger placements and movements necessary for rolling with that technique. i know exactly what you're talking about, but i've also been rolling joints for three years.

 

No, I stole it from a friend of mine, but that's how I roll my J's. Less paper is a good thing.

Besides, the first time I saw that I wet myself. I couldn't stop laughing for 30 min straight.

 

R M I rarely roll a nice joint, I really suck at it. Maybe you are bit stressed and you'll be back to rolling nice joints again soon. Conchaga that tutorial is awesome!
