Joint Rolling Methods
For those of you who already know how the basics and want to move on to the more advanced joint-rolling methods, read on.
The Knee Trembler
- Take out two rolling papers then stick them together at a 45° angle.
- Place the mixture and roach onto the paper.
- Roll the first paper down (the one which contains the mixture).
- Wet the second paper, wrap it around the first one to seal the end of the joint.
Saturday Night Special
- Get two rolling papers, sticking them together with their sticky strips forming a straight line. Make sure that they overlap by about one-fifth of their size.
- Now take out a third rolling paper and stick it to the back of the first two rolling papers. Make sure that you stick it right in the center.
- Add the mixture, evenly distributing it, as well as the roach.
- Roll the joint as you would a normal one.
Secret Agent
- Grab two rolling papers and stick then together by sticking the gummed strip of one to the edge of the other rolling paper.
- Now take a cigarette and remove its filter by squeezing at the base using your thumb and forefinger. When you see enough of the filter showing, pull it out.
- Replace the filter with a roach. Make sure that it is the same size and shape as the one you took out.
- Cut the cigarette with a sharp knife (so as to make a nice, clean cut) about 1cm from the roach.
- Place the mixture onto your rolling paper to replace the tobacco from the cigarette. Place your now-disguised roach onto the end of the rolling paper. Make sure that you place enough mixture on your paper to make it look like a cigarette.
- Roll the joint into an even cigarette shape with the roach poking out at the end.
- If the joint feels loose, that’s normal. Take a gum strip from another rolling paper and wrap it around the filter to secure it.
Magic Carpet
- Combine two rolling papers together forming a square, leaving one gummed strip side along one side.
- Then take a third rolling paper, sticking it face down at the edge of the first two rolling papers.
- Place the mixture, making it into a cone shape. You can trim away excess paper if you want, since there is plenty of space in the joint for the mixture.
- Roll the joint and then twist the end to secure the third paper.
The Joker
- Stick two rolling papers together, making sure that the sticky strips form a straight line.
- Get a third rolling paper and fold it in half. Leave the sticky strip on the outside.
- Lick the gummed strip and stick the third paper in between the first two rolling papers.
- Pull out the third rolling paper again before the strip dries. This should leave enough glue on the others to make them stick together.
- Now stick a fourth rolling paper to the lower righthand side of the joint.
- Grab a fifth rolling paper and stick it to the top of the two rolling papers.
- Rip the fourth paper in half diagonally to make it better for rolling into a cone shape.
- Place the weed onto the paper, packing it into a nice, firm cone shape.
- Roll the joint, making sure that your fingers are supporting its extra length and seal.
The Flaming Back-Flip
- Stick two rolling papers together, making sure that the sticky strips form a straight line.
- Get a third rolling paper and fold it in half. Leave the sticky strip on the outside.
- Lick the gummed strip and stick the third paper in between the first two rolling papers.
- Pull out the third rolling paper again before the strip dries. This should leave enough glue on the others to make them stick together.
- Slowly and carefully roast a cigarette over a moving flame (from a match or lighter), heating the tobacco inside, until the papers turn brown. This will burn off a bit of the tar and nicotine.
- Now turn over your rolling papers on a flat surface. The right side with the sticky strip should be facing down and the reverse side should be facing you. Add the mixture and roach to the reverse side.
- Roll the joint with the gum strip outside. Seal the joint, leaving the excess paper.
- When the joint is sealed, light the excess rolling paper starting from where your roach is placed and let the flame burn the excess paper.
