My joints suck

What's up guys/girls? I've been a weed smoker off and on for the past 7 years, and in the past few months I've began smoking multiple times a day almost every day. I can roll a killer blunt, I have a good bowl that I bought at a headshop, I've got a home-made vaporizer, and a pack of rolling papers. I can get stoned by the first 3 of those methods, but I can't roll a joint for shit it seems.

I'll make myself a little clearer. I can roll what looks like a typical joint, but it smokes like shit. For example: The joint that I rolled was actually rolled while reading the tutorial that's stickied at the top of this page. I had a good cardboard roach that made the joint easier to hit and sturdier to hold. I just couldn't keep the damn thing lit. I always have a problem with my fire...either the joint stay lit, or it burns an inch of the paper without touching the weed.

To put it in better perspective, I'm a pack a day cig smoker, and I've smoked thousands of joints that OTHER people rolled and rarely have a problem. It's just that my own joints are shit. The sad thing is that I could roll a perfect joint out of anything when I was in highschool. Could it be that my papers just suck and are too thin? Would double rolling help my weed burn right?

I hope this makes sense b/c I'm stoned as fuck...

Get your mixture i the rizla and start to roll it. Don't roll it to tight, but press the mixture together firmly when rolling. Make sure when you "tuck" the joint (roll it up) that it's done firmly but not to tight.
Give it a few taps down before you light it and see how that goes.
Keep on practicing, the more you do it the better they will be over time.

All I can think of is that you should pack a bit more weed into it, I find I can roll a joint better if its oozing with weed...then I end up with a nice fat joint. Like weedyboywonder said, keep practicing, you'll be surprised how quickly you'll be able to roll a nice, tasty, evenly burning joint.

Good luck!

If it won't stay lit, try lighting it while taking a hit to see if it will begin to burn. And as Weedy said try not to make them too tight.

Practice makes perfect!

Also make sure you break it up real good. the more even consist. the better.
Plus try holding your light on the end for about 10-15 sec and then taking a puff.

we have that problem somtimes, and i hate it cos so much weed is wasted cos it dont burn right, i think its either the weed aint burning properly, you licked the paper too much, or the papers are plain shit, cos even wen my friends make a crooked roll it still burns right so its probably the materials.

hmm the only problem i ever have is the tightness... but even my loose joints burn pretty evenly


my biggest problem is the tucking in part so i just improvise i kinda just fold it over then roll it so theres not really any tucking involved... i dunno how good that explanation is

I used to have the exact same problem.
I have only recently managed to get it under control haha.

The reason it doesn't stay a light is not because you aren't mixing it with tobacco, it's not because you have shit materials, i'ts not because you licked the paper too much. it's jsut that the weed isn't tightly packed into the joint!
Let me explain...

this is how i roll:

lie your paper on the table, and sprinkle your weed onto it. Leave the roach out for the mean while. don't sprinkle all the weed on at once, just a bit. Then pick the paper up and start rolling it between your fingers. Keep doing this until when u open the paper, the weed inside is like a solid turd, not all crumbly...

Now add some more, and do it again, until it's all in and nice and firm. then put your roach in and roll.

Even when that is done... take a car key, or a straw, or a stick, or whatever u have lying around u and gently tap all the weed deeper into the joint. Make sure it's compact. Once it is, close the deal and light up.

you should't have problems with it going out anymore. Also, you will find that if it is tightly compact, it will burn for a lot longer.

I hope this helps :>

its all about making sure your weed is cut up enough and how compact it is. You never want it compact though just firm.
