ROLLING A PERFECT JOINT: WHAT YOU NEED
Before anything else, you need to remember to have these materials handy before you start rolling. Preparing them will make your rolling easier and more efficient. List the following:
- Cannabis; preferably your favorite strain
- Rolling papers
- Crutch/Filter
- Pen or any similar object; for packing
- Grinder
- Rolling Tray
Now you’re ready to start. Follow this step-by-step guide.
#1: GRIND/BREAK YOUR CANNABIS
The first step that you’ll have to do is to make sure to break up your strains. You can use your fingers to release that sweet aromatic fragrance that we are all familiar with. Another option that you can utilize is by using a grinder to get a finer and better break from your buds. By not using your fingers, you’ll be able to avoid having sticky fingers and you’ll also get the best burn rate out of your joint to have a longer session.
#2: PREPARE YOUR CRUTCH
Some people choose to not have a crutch, but we highly recommend that you have one. Simply, a crutch acts like a mouthpiece for your joint. You need to prepare your crutch before actual rolling so that you don’t waste any time and potential loss of cannabis.
Having a crutch has plenty of benefits, including safety purposes to avoid burns on your fingers and lips, prevents falling out or waste from your joint, keeps the shape of the joint, and it improves your smoking experience. If you want, you can either make a crutch from thick paper or thin firm cardboard by creating as many folds as you can. Most crutches are around 5.5 x 1.7 cm in measurements. On the other hand, you can also opt to buy pre-made crutches.
#3: FILL UP YOUR JOINT
There are plenty of rolling paper options in the market. Make sure that you find the best one that suits your preference. We suggest organic hemp papers as these types of rolling papers don’t affect the smell and the strain of your joint. When filling up your joint, there is no proper technique, just do it the way that is comfortable for you. What you need to focus on is to evenly distribute the cannabis and leave space for the crutch later on. Creating a cone-shape joint is optimal to get the best smoking experience.
#4: ROLLING
Here’s the delicate part, make sure that you use two fingers when rolling your joint. Make sure to move your fingers as gently as you can from left to right to maintain the proper distribution of the particles. You also have to insert your crutch at the end of the paper before rolling.
Check from rough edges where spillage can occur. To avoid waste, roll your paper back and forth to secure the particles of your joint. There are also rolling trays that you can use for this part. The rolling tray will remove the excess cannabis from your joint to get the best shape and form. Having a proper rolling tray also ensures that you don’t have the excess falling on your lap.
#5: LICKING AND SEALING
You will know when it’s time to seal your joint when the glued side of your rolling paper is tuck securely underneath the unglued side. If not continue rolling back and forth. After you get to the point where you want to be lick the outer layer thoroughly until you hit the glued part to seal the layer. This leaves one end open. Don’t forget that the tucking and sealing along the length of the joint should do it slowly and gently. You don’t want it to be too tight or too loose.
#6: PACKING
Proper storing of your joint is important to have a smooth and even burn. To do this prepare a pen or an object of the same shape and press the cannabis through the open end. When you’re done and you’re holding your joint, make sure to hold it upright at the filtered end. After, you should gently tap the flat surface to compact the cannabis particles. Don’t forget to make sure that the crutch is secure to act as reinforcement on your joint.
#7: TWISTING
Twist your joint to have a candle-wick appearance. This prevents any possibility of fall out. Once you’re ready to enjoy your joint, the twisted point would be the part of the joint that you would be the lighting.
#8: LIGHT & ENJOY
As mentioned in the previous steps, after storing you will light the joint at the twisted part. Avoid relighting or not finishing a joint once you’ve already lighted it previously because it will have a bad taste. Enjoy your every puff and be proud of your rolls.
#9: DON’T FORGET TO SHARE
Any cannabis lover would say that smoking a joint is always better done with peers. This sets the mood of the room. Most importantly, who wouldn’t want to enjoy getting high with friends?
Follow these steps and you’re on the road to be a master of rolling your own joints. But to have the best experience you’ll need premium cannabis products. You’re in luck because Sativa Bliss offers a wide variety of flowers, pre-rolls, and more cannabis products that may interest you.
