Good mix?

[scab]

Hey, I'm pretty new to rolling my own joints and I'm not sure what to do about the mix.

When I see my friends roll they always grind the weed up in a grinder, but I don't have one of those and I'm not sure what I should be doing in its place.

I've picked out the stems/seeds but thats about all I've done. I don't really want to put anything else with the weed either, unless its highly reccomended. (I don't smoke cigarettes, and will not put tobacco in my joint.)

So basically I have some weed, but don't know what the hell to do before I roll the joint.

also, if i was to roll a joint, then not smoke it for about a week would it go bad or anything? not sure how that works either.

ummm you could either use scissors or just good ole finger pickin....mixing it with tobacco is a good idea some people dont like it but some do i personally use tobacco becuase it makes the joint burn nice and even and not go out....and joints dont go bad lol

alright, but I was sort of trying to ask why you have to grind or cut up the weed in the first place. Am I just making it so it will burn better because its in smaller pieces? (I really don't know anything about this)

you got it buddy, more surface area= faster reaction time. if its in whole buds you're not going to get the oxygen circulation through the bud that you need to have a burning joint (in the conventional sense). so chop it up with scizzoorzzz till its a bit finer than the consistancy of barley. I find if you powder it, it becomes too easy to overpack, making an unsmokeable/unpleasant joint.

If you just break it with your hands the joint wont burn as well and you wont smoke all the weed. Use some scizzors, I havnt had a grinder for about 6 months and now I use my scizzors I dont even need one. Use put pure weed in the joint, no tobacco. Why ruin the taste eh.

I just take a big nug and rip it up into a few smaller pieces, then take the scissors to those small pieces and make a fine mix. I also roll using half tobacco half weed cause it makes it easier to roll because it's thicker, burns slower and tobacco out of a cig is so much better then it is in the cig cause the cig paper has the nicotine and tar and shit in it. So it gives a cool body high along with the weed high. :rasta:

Get a pair of scissors (I prefer a small set used for personal hygeine that fold in on themselves so you can work with more accuracy) and essentially cut it up into little bits, but for the record, seriously consider investing in a grinder if joints are your main method, they save you massive amounts of time and it requires little effort, they only cost $10-$20.

P.S Coffee grinders work well I hear, thats assuming you dont end up smoking coffee grounds.
