Despite the increasing number of cannabis products on the market, smoking joints remains one of the most popular methods of use. The only thing that’s more satisfying than taking a hit from a well-rolled joint is taking a hit from a joint you rolled perfectly yourself. It’s a form of art, really, and fortunately, it’s not hard to master. Here, you’ll learn a few rolling tips to give yourself a perfect joint every time. 

1. Start with Quality Cannabis

A joint isn’t much without the cannabis inside. If you’re looking for a perfect joint, you need to start with high-quality cannabis. Check out the selection at Cannabis 21+ and choose a strain that you enjoy and that will help you achieve your specific goals. 

2. Choose the Right Paper

You have a few options for cannabis rolling papers. Sure, you can use the same papers you might use to roll a cigarette, but there are so many other options out there. The best types to start with, however, are hemp or rice papers. Hemp is ideal for beginners since it’s easy to roll. It also stays lit pretty well. Rice rolling papers offer a flavorless and wonderfully slow-burning solution. 

3. Use a Grinder

You can break up your buds by hand, but there are a few downsides to that. First, it’s messy. Second, it’s a bit challenging to break everything up evenly. And uneven buds can impact your smoke sesh. For a consistent grind, use a grinder. It’s a worthwhile investment if smoking’s your go-to consumption method. 

4. Include a Crutch

A crutch, also called a filter tip, is essentially a mouthpiece for your joint. You can find filters for sale, or you can make your own. Either way, they act as a handle of sorts while also optimizing airflow. And they aid in the rolling process. Better rolling and no more soggy joints? Who doesn’t want that?

5. Have Patience

While you can roll quickly (especially after you’ve mastered the art), you don’t want to rush the process. Patience is vital. First, arrange your ground bud neatly in the paper. Next, roll your paper back and forth between your fingers to work the cannabis down so you can create a tight tuck. 

6. Tamp Before You Twist

Before you twist the end of your joint, tamp down the buds. You can find specially-made tools, or you can get a little creative and use the tip of a shoelace or the backside of a pen. Tamping the bud down can help with proper airflow and a better burn. Once you’re ready, twist the end and get ready to light up!

Enjoy Perfect Joints Every Time

Rolling joints may look complicated if you’ve never done it before, but it’s really not as tough as it seems. With a little practice, you’ll be rolling like a pro in no time. And, once you get the process down, you can start looking into ways to improve your smoke sessions even more, like turning your papers inside out or twaxing with a bit of concentrate. Even with something as straightforward as a joint, you can have an unbelievable sesh every time you light up.
