A follow up question to "the stupidest question ever asked"

[Epfin]

Now, I've never rolled before. But after I make the paper into a cone shape and put the weed into it, how do I seal the open end to prevent it from falling out?

TWIST IT!

[zebulon]

Use a pipe man...:thumbsup:

[Epfin]

Cool, Ill twist it. Also. What is and where can I get the white thing shown in this picture at the non-twisted end of the joint?:

Awww, dude! Don't tell a kid that wants to smoke a joint to smoke a bowl! TWISTY TWISTY TWIST!

[Tadder_Nervosa]

Roll up a small piece of rectangular card...the packaging of the papers, a cigarette pack, any other firm sort of paper. It's not necessary, but once you use one, you may never NOT use them again. It's called a crutch, or something else too. Peace.

[Epfin]

Haha great I will definitely try that out! Thanks man! TWISTY TWISTY!!

It's called a roach usually, and most people don't use em. They're unnecessary. You said you rolled your paper into a cone and then put the weed into it? Why not just roll it with the weed already in there? :jointsmile:

[Tadder_Nervosa]

He's been having trouble rolling. I think this was a little easier for him to grasp at first. Baby steps Epfin. Oh yeah, and how were you born on the 27th of Feb.? You must have been conceived at SOME crazy party. :D

Yeah, it's a rolled up piece of thin cardboard... business cards work wonders. Normal 8.5x11 paper is too flimsy for a good roach. And yes, it's true... I demand a roach when rolling because it 1) prevents the green stuff from flying into your mouth, and 2) gives me a much smoother smoke.

When I just started smoking I never used roaches... when I'd inhale sometimes I would get the paper wet, and it would completely mess up... on top of the fact that you're baked off your ass already makes it a little harder to put back together.

Use roaches...

IMO i don't like to smoke joints...they are a waste of some good herb, smokes like hell and the half of the weed goes wasted...but if you like it, then have a good one :jointsmile:

[mattisnotonfire]

I realise that beginner smokers have lots of questions....

But seriously man? Most people know this stuff from their fellow smokers...

Anyways yeah, its a roach. Basically - Take a king skin, grind up some green, nice and fine and then grind up some tobacco (out of a ciggy or from a bag of baccy; choice is yours) this is my method, most would very much disagree with putting baccy in the grinder.

If you have no grinder, put a layer of baccy in the fold of the skin pinch of some nice buds, lay if down across it nice and even, lay another thin layer of baccy.

Then, cut out a piece of card about................this long and:-

That thick. Again, it is all down to preference and how much you put in the J.

After that, pick it all up roll the content into a cylinder shape then grab the roach end and tuck one of the open ends under it, then roll it upward towards the 'open' end of the joint, it should form a conical shape. Stop before you get to the gum strip and lick from the roach end upwards then seal it, keeping it nice and tight.

Your first few will be shit. But you can correct it by tappy tappy with the roach end on a hard surface then pokey pokey in the open end. Then twisty twisty of the remaining paper.

Light that bitch. Toke that bitch. Enjoy that bitch. Watch family guy and enjoy.

:D

fold a strip of paper back and forth and wrap it around itself into a decent cylinder thatll expand a little to fit.

the pic had a badly twisted end. try to get it almost flat with a little nub of a twist.

try rolling a few times and youll learn. weed is about improv.
(ie: not rolling with a roach will sometimes cause bits of bud in your mouth which is nasty

[THC420man]

Try to roll some blunts or atleast orange/king sized joints first. Blunts like the Swisher Sweets are especially easy to roll up and taste great after u remove every last trace of the smoking tobacco.
Rolling good can take a lot of practice, or could come naturally.. I probably had to roll 20-30 joints before I could get em to be not pregnant most of the time.

the lid of a cig box is the best for the roach

its the flap under the cig lid(dunno if that makes sence)

but use a cig box for the roach

its perfect
