How to Roll a Joint

 

Do you enjoy cannabis but have never quite gotten the hang of rolling a joint? Many of us have had the same experience. Using a bowl, blunt, bong, or other methods are great, but sometimes a joint is the way to get the perfect dose—not too much, but not too little—for your needs. Luckily, our expert joint roller, Nasya, is here to help!

Our goal at 7 Stars is to help you discover the benefits of the cannabis plant. This video will teach you one of the basic skills—rolling a joint—to get the benefit of the plant with fast onset and a controllable dose.

If this is your first time smoking, we recommend a “start low and go slow” approach. Check this blog post and video for a helpful walk-through on how to smoke cannabis the first time.

How to Roll a Joint, Step by Step

Here are the basic steps to rolling a joint:

  • Roll a filter, or “crutch.”

  • Grind the flower by taking out a nug and putting it in the grinder. Twist the top and grind it up.

  • Sprinkle some flower into the rolling paper. Make a row that is a little smaller than a pencil.

  • Make sure the adhesive side is up, and away from you.

  • Put the filter in one end. This is the end you will inhale from.

  • Hold the paper between your thumb and index finger and roll the side that is closest to you toward the adhesive.

  • You roll it away from you, and stop when only the adhesive is showing.

  • Lick the adhesive and roll it tight.

If you did all the steps and now have a joint, congratulations! If it didn’t quite work, get a new piece of paper and try again. It’s a little difficult, but most people can figure it out after a few tries.
