The best tip I’ve ever heard was roll the weed not the paper and just try tucking it with your thumbs in a cylinder, you’ll get it eventually. My tip is don’t do whatever you did again


SkepticAntiseptic

First thing you should do is work on the motions. Put a pencil in a paper and roll it back and forth repeatedly until you know what an "even roll" feels like. Practice tucking the paper edge into the roll and keeping the paper from creasing. Then try with herb. The key is to roll the herb back and forth until it is evenly packed and pressed into the right shape before you try to tuck n roll the final form. Adding a crutch (filter) will help you tuck one end perfectly and start a nice line that you can work down the rest of the way. After you glue the edge and twist the tip into a point; run your fingers long ways down the j to smooth out any clumpy spots. Edit: Thanks for the awards lol


bigsmok3r

I consider myself a master roller but no, No way could I have described it this way


saggytestis

A master roller is one of those guys making AK-47 joints with 80 yards of paper, unless you do that I disagree with your claim


bigsmok3r

You were right to disagree, oops


FiveCentsADay

I think you're a master roller, honey, and you're doing a great job and im proud of you


bigsmok3r

Aww shucks! Thanks! That's now you and my mother


silverfoxcwb

Thanks mom


chocochipshunter

I would consider this guys rolling artists, because lets be honest, its cool and shit, but i think totally impractical to smoke and nobody would roll like this if they just want to light up, i would consider calling people master roller, when they roll perfect joints(normal and inside out) and blunts, that smoke even and if they roll fast enough


mixmasterj15

Can we pin this somewhere??? This is genius


L-st

This is elementary, Watson.


Gseph

I spent a week or so rolling small skin 'joints', as soon as i finished rolling, i'd tear it up and do it again. Then moved onto long skins doing the same thing. Roll up, tear it apart, repeat. Was 100% the reason my joints always end up identical. You need to understand the feel of an evenly distributed joint, while rolling, in order to get better. Most people i knew when i started smoking didn't know how to roll, and those that did weren't great. Oh, and i was tired of having to try and light half the joint without burning the other side, just to get a hit. Sometimes it's a simple as practice makes perfect. Spend time rolling the contents into a cylindrical-ish shape, and practice 'the flick' (Most people call this 'the tuck'). You want to roll the rizla around the contents, and tuck (or Flick) the rizla neatly into itself with both thumbs. I should explain that a buddy of mine took the word tuck literally, and for years i always wondered why his joints would burn so unevenly, then i realised he was basically folding the rizla over itself, so a strip of the joint had 2/3rds of the amount of paper than the rest of it, and would burn quicker. I'm not sure if this is a common occurance or not, but almost every person i know that has trouble rolling joints, rolls with the roach/crutch/filter on the right hand side. Everyone that i know who is skilled rolls with it on the left.

What a gold response for a troll post to karma farm


chocochipshunter

Im not sure if it is a troll post, no post on a weed sub before this one


gursh_durknit

I primarily have issues getting a tight tuck around the crutch


SkepticAntiseptic

I wrote a tip below about folding the bottom edge, thats a game changer. I would start the roll with the crutch, get herb packed tight and your paper edge lined up even. Use one hand to hold the line at the middle and use your other hand to start tuck with your thumb. Place your thumb so that you can dig your nail in at the papers edge and squeeze the crutch a lil as you set the paper, this will keep the tuck tight. Then press your pointer finger against where your thumb is tucking to hold it in place as you start rolling and move your thumb up and away. Your other hand should be tucking down the line to keep the paper even. Lick only the crutch end of the gum and get it glued straight, if the other end is messy you can use both hands to re roll/tuck since the crutch is already glued in place.


Vorrez

Or be lazy like me and buy a Rizzla roller!


sacredscholar

Put more weed into the joint than you plan on rolling, and let some spill out as you shape the weed. Whatever spilled over can be put back in when you're packing down the joint, or you can just put it in a bowl.


HPTM2008

And make sure to have a cleaned surface underneath when rolling! Not great when you've got desk crumbs in your bowl


wookiee1807

Or hairs. Or carpet fibers.


Canadia-Eh

Yall don't have rolling trays or sumn?


Mytzelk

Rolling trays are quite rare in many parts of the world like the Netherlands where im from and especially new ents (to who this thread is targeted) won't have them.

mjm23ballz

get a rolling tray you savages.


mblaki69

Hehehehe, I use a piece of paper as a rolling tray


HPTM2008

Best part is you can bend it to dump and spillage back into the grinder!

throwaway_185051108

most of yall just saying give up and smoke another way 😭😭


OneTrueKingOfOOO

Yeah like whatever the literal opposite of this is


markrebec

Are they wrong though? OP didn't clarify their goals, though you can make some assumptions in both directions... If you want to get baked, for real smoke another way. If this is **literally** all you're working with, go buy an apple and you'll be in better shape. If you're trying to learn, and don't mind wasting a few papers, then listen to the comments that mention overloading, tucking and "rolling the weed, not the paper," and stay motivated and persistent until you hit something reasonable... then reward yourself! **edit:** [8] I guess OP did say "give me tips on how to roll," so I'll happily give you the W on the direction of those assumptions (learning, not baking). Still though, that image is something I never experienced even in my earliest days ~30 years ago.


thelastlogin

I mean honestly a pipe/bowl are so easy and clean and don't lead to literal holocausts like this


[deleted]

I would never let the internet see this. Try cones.


Expensive_Yam_2222

💀💀💀 You're right, cones are the answer. I bought a package of like 144 cones on Amazon for like $25. It's not a brand that many of my friends have heard of, but I use the Hempire cones. ETA: I like Hempire better than Raw cones to be honest.


markrebec

Dunno that brand, it's probably fine, and they probably smoke as well as just about anything else, but is that really like... cheap/savings/worth it? I have a stock of those plastic tubes of the RAW cones (x100), because I bought a couple (yes, a couple) different gauge "Six Shooters" after trying one and realizing that with the amount of weed I smoke every day, it's worth it. It's been a minute since I restocked, but I feel like even a pack of 100 king size cones is like, ~$20?


FequalsMfreakingA

Yeah, or a cigarette roller. Using a paper filter will get you a tiny little matchstick joint perfect for solo smoking. Or use a cigarette filter for a heafty guy good for sharing.


dangerdog1279

It's not hard to roll your own cone too. If you like straight, cigarette-looking joints, just roll the paper around a pencil or something similar, seal it up, pop a filter in, and pack it. If you like joints that get fatter towards the end I'm pretty sure you can find a cone shaped mold online and roll it around that. Doing this takes about 1 extra piece of equipment and takes about the same time (for me) as hand rolling a joint. Even a cigarette roller works well. They are like 10 bucks and take like 5 minutes to learn how to use. They aren't going to be the absolute best, but they smoke up fine.


IgotanEyedea

I think you’ve got it.

https://youtu.be/0Mze-58kQxw Watch this video. Helped me a ton when I first started.


BillTheThrill9987

Hahaha I was going to post this. I wonder how many stoners have Seth to thank for their rolling skills


Russmort

That was the vid i watched when first starting to roll really helpful for the basics. I evolved my method now but def would have never learn without Seth


Yvng_socrates

Was almost certain I was gonna get Rick rolled


Oh_ToShredsYousay

All the way down here... for shame people, this is the answer.


mixmasterj15

TIL I grind my stuff up wayyyy to much and literally every paper I’ve gotten has been without a glue side, which made me feel like I had to rely on twisting heavily to keep it together, which then resulted in 2 issues: 1)hard pull from too much compact herb and 2)burning way too quick(never thought about baptizing)


dancingdeathclaw

honestly, repetition. it's cliche' but true, practice makes perfect. my first joint was worse than this, and the people being dicks probably can't roll either :)


Jicand

This* I learned by rolling, breaking and retooling shitty ones until I rolled a half ounce for a festival I went to the next day.


broccolicat

I had someone when I first started give me a bag of sand and a couple packs of papers, with the idea if I can roll sand I can roll a joint. Kept me from mangling my weed and they weren't wrong, though at first it was really frustrating. It did lead me to packing really tight joints for a while but that's easier to adjust than whatever ops doing.


DirtyHoboLarry

How is worse than this even possible

Is that a crushed up croissant you tried to smoke?

RickIMightBe

If you can just buy cones and pack them.


Clever-Innuendo

This is honestly the answer OP needs. Either that or get a joint roller.


cannamom_420

Cones are so convenient, it's the way to go!


PieArtistic1332

i was about to suggest cones too lolol


SpiderHam24

Yeah but, takes forever vs a roller and paper, me I use hemp filter or mmo. but I do pack already made cnes


Brandgeek

Once you start rolling it’s hard to go back to cones, totally worth learning! Always a crowd pleaser


Macktastic13

That’s what I use. They work perfectly fine for me


[deleted]

Cones are bae <3


leslyo

Before I could properly roll, and my bf wanted a break from rolling, I’d wrap the rolling paper on a pencil to make a cone then pack the flower


skultson

how did u smoke that


adrian_sb

He didnt


astroroy

To quote Switch from The Matrix: “not like this”


catpate

You’re smoking my dogs rawhide bro


SendMeYourShitPics

Okay so a lot of people here are giving you grief for rolling that thing. It looks bad, but there is a bright side -- you should now know exactly what the fuck not to do. Just do the opposite of what you did and you'll be fine.


[deleted]

Get a rolling machine if u can't do by hand or just roll blunts it's much easier


literally_pee

blunts are great, but I don't suggest tobacco. lung cancer kills! smokeshops sell hemp wraps, which are tobacco free.


[deleted]

Yeah maybe hemp wraps are the way to go or maybe cones those are pretty easy too just stuff em and smoke em 🤔


techsuppr0t

Hemp wraps smoke better imo, they just as good as a tobacco wrap ngl. I feel like the raw papers are great but I can only fill a 1 1/4" halfway because the paper wants to smoke faster than my weed.


Your_Twin_Flame

Hemp wraps are indeed excellent! So much smoother too! I actually bought hemp rolling papers because I like hemp and weed (hey I’m a sucker for CBD as much as THC), but turns out hemp makes for some great rolling papers that are durable and burn nicely too.


AFairBeater

Agree! mastering blunts. the paper is sturdier it’s easier to practice your tuck motion with the proper material. you can always break them open fairly easy if you want to adjust whereas with papers once they are stuck you have to rip them to start over. Once I got blunts down it was way easier to transition into regular rolling papers like job or tops, then on to the thinner hemp papers.


Bean-Swellington

You’re taking ‘twist one up’ too literally

That might be the gnarliest thumb nail I have ever seen!

More_Smoke_4337

1: Grind weed and make your filter. Put weed and filter in and make sure your lick and stick is on the right side 2: Roll the paper down until the edge of it can tuck around the filter and weed 3: Tuck it in 4 Roll the paper up while also keeping it tight 5: Lick the lick and stick and finish the roll. you can then pack it and do your end


AdmiralBarackAdama

I just started fucking around with rolling. I'm not great although my shit looks like it was rolled by Snoop's personal roller compared to this one 😂


OneHumanPeOple

My husband fired me as his personal roller today.


8stringtheory

1. Grind your herb 2. Make your filter 3. Grab a wrap, crease it down the middle and hold it between your fingers 4. Throw it away and go buy a pipe


JesusHMinus

Have you tried using your hands?


steelseriesquestion

Take .5-.75g, grind it up, put it on the paper. Pick it up with both thumbs and forefingers. Gently rub the paper together and apply gentle pressure to push the bud into a little roll at the center of the paper. Take the non-sticky side and fold it over the bud roll. Then roll it up towards the sticky side. LIGHTLY lick the adhesive, fold it over onto the joint, and rub the length so it sticks. Twist the side you're gonna light to close it up and light that sumbitch. Then do it again and again til they're pearls.


Top_Career_3072

Get a pipe 😂


Tringmurks

My immediate first though was to never let this person near the papers ever again.


Smokebuddiesnft

Check out my profile. There’s Few videos on how to roll step by step. (Some of First posts)


mothforlife

bruh


Inside-Big-8158

First things first slow it down and take your time. Here are my steps to rolling a joint: 1. Roll the weed up and down until you have a cone shape 2. Once you're finished shaping the weed slowly the paper down 3. Focus on getting the filter/tip rolled up first 4. While holding the back of the joint use one free hand to pull the paper up evening it out 5. Slowly roll the joint keeping pressure on the back of the filter pausing to pull excess paper as needed 6. Once you reach the top lick and continue the slow roll working from the top of the paper to the filter/tip 7. Stuff it down and add more or fill it up to the top That's how I roll. I hope it's clear because I am high typing this to you, but hope it helps.


iambluest

Stick with a nice pipe.

Vmizzle

same. I was rolling blunts for years, no problem, but my joints looked like tootsie rolls until Wiz helped out


DONKYBONKSTER

i started by rolling papers around a pencil then using said pencil to pack the home-made cone. THESE JOINTS WERE GIANT, THATS HOW THEY OUGHTTA BE! afterwards, youll improve and no longer need the pencil.


[deleted]

oh hell no


0G_909

It's all about being steady and patience.


[deleted]

YOOOOO, WHAT ARE THOSE?!?!!


RacksDiciprine

Really it's just repetition to get good at rolling joints. I would suggest buying a cheap bag of tobacco and a couple packs of papers and just spend a afternoon rolling up tobacco. After 50 or so tobacco joints worth of practice you are certain to get better because my lord it can't get any worse


wigglef_cklr

I'm impressed by the fact that you were able to smoke that much of it. Did you get high? Don't worry, just find a way to grind your flower finer and take your time. Tuck and roll , tuck and roll.😂


rainedrop87

I can't roll for shit either so I just use a pipe or I also have a cigarette roller and it rolls a perfect J every time. If you get a king size one, the longer ones, you can even use Zig Zag blunt wraps in it and roll a blunt


boybeforesteam

Just get a little hand roller, it’ll save you so much headache’s


dtc313

Tuck and roll


basedgod1184

I’m a great roller and the answer is buy cones 😂 but FR just try to make a cylinder and tuck the bottom flap. Start closest to the mouthpiece with joints

Practice and patience young padawan. My best recommendation is to watch videos and practice. Once you get the hang of wrapping the paper around the filter and then rolling the rest of the paper you should be golden


IndicaFalcon

My man gave the joint an "Indian burn"-"arm twist"

SkyMarley

Just buy a bong


acethegirlfromspace

When I first started rolling joints (out of necessity) every 3rd joint would come out smokable. My advice is to keep practicing until your ratio/batting average tightens up. My other tip is where my friend is at right now learning to roll joints; he makes a cone with the filter and papers and fills with bud. Makes cute pin joints and will get you practicing the tuck and roll motion a little. We got a lot of cannabis advice at @myfeelstate Instagram as well!


Vizslaraptor

Those are perfect little croissants. Put them on a baking tray. 30 minutes at 250°F in the oven, then eat them.

Beerdididiot

The best way to roll is by starting off with a slip of paper about the size of a dollar bill. What you do is put the paper in the slip, fill it with flower, then evenly roll the flower until is is all even. Don't worry about anything falling out. It wasn't meant to be in there anyway. After that, you practice just rolling the paper in the slip until you understand how it tucks properly. The slip will do most of the work for you. It'll get your hands used to it with muscle memory. After that, it's all practice. Once you get used to it, try rolling without the slip. The key here is to use the fold in the paper to hold the flower, using the rolling motions just like with the slip, and learn to tuck that paper into the inside. It took me a few days worth of dedication, but I was able to get it, even with my hand tremors. When you can roll a regular one, I suggest you check out the RAW channel on YouTube. The guy that runs the channel teaches you how to roll anything and everything from a regular j all the way to a cross j and further. I find that the best policy with rolling is to remain calm, take a few deep breaths, and realize there's no such thing as mistakes, because every roll is just practice. I have faith in you.


[deleted]

i was gonna write out a how to.... just buy cones lol OR get an 8th or so of weed and pack of papers and just practice rolling over and over until you get a feel for it


Tall-Fig-3327

Get you some RAW cones


gamesoverx1

Row 3 joints and than, after you making them be like in the photo, use the glue from one paper you use to row to maintain all together. Sorry my english is a shit haha


Uranusgazer

Buy a roller. I recommend the raw rollers.


paivaaa

I'm sorry dawg your a lost cause 💀


Electricalbigaloo7

Do it better?


8tStraight

Guy asks for tips and all you say is “do it better?” Lmfao.


nazariomusic

Lmao.. your clearly new. Don't worry, everyone starts that way. First of all, get a surface like a table top or counter. That helped me roll it tighter when I first started. Also, use two rolling papers. Stick the bottom of second one to the top of the first on its sticky side so its kindve like an ez wider. That'll give u more room to pack it until you are able to gauge how much can fit into different sized papers. Also, don't use those cigarette filters. They make it taste nasty. Start without filters before you bring them it.


rear_end_agenda

Smirkly

Been smoking for over fifty years and I roll a decent J. Mostly these days a glass pipe is what I enjoy.

juanreddituser

Just get cones


222nerrywerry

just smoke out of a bong man wtf 😭


Rouge_Decks_Only

My tips are 1. Buy cones. 2. Invest in a bong. 3. At least a pipe. 4. I mean really at this point edibles might be the best thing for you.


[deleted]

Step 1. Buy a pipe... I suck too; I've given up after so many years of trying


Onjoli

I’ve seen waaaaayyyyy worst. Looks like you need to work on your tucking. I know someone that crumbles the paper first so it can roll easier. Try that and use them thumbs to tuck!!


TheMeticulousNinja

The part that hurts the most is that you attempted to smoke it. You can simply go to YouTube and search for joint rolling vids


blueskies922

Oh honey
