Step 1: Gather Your Materials
You'll need cannabis flower, rolling papers, a grinder, a filter (optional), and a rolling tray.
Step 2: Grind the Cannabis
Use a grinder to break down your cannabis into a fine, even consistency. This ensures an even burn.
Step 3: Prepare the Rolling Paper
Place a filter at one end if you prefer using one (recommended). Hold the rolling paper with the glue strip facing up and away from you.
Step 4: Fill the Paper with Cannabis
Evenly distribute the ground cannabis along the middle of the rolling paper.
Step 5: Shape and Roll the Paper
Start shaping the joint by rolling back and forth with your fingers. This step is crucial for forming a tight, cylindrical shape.
Step 6: Tuck and Seal
Tuck the non-glue side of the paper into the roll and begin to roll it upwards. Lick the glue strip and seal the joint.
Step 7: Pack & Twist
Use a pen or similar object to pack the cannabis down gently through the open end to ensure an even burn. Make sure you don't pack it too tight, leaving room for airflow while twisting off the end once your done.
Additional Tips & Tricks
- Use a Rolling Tray: It helps keep everything contained and makes it easier to gather spilled cannabis.
