I have read a lot of how to guides online and I got it down for the most part. The big problem with me is when I try and tuck the paper over to start the roll. I cant really keep it tight and a lot of weed usually falls out the sides. If anyone could help me it would be much appreciated because I want to be able to roll a fat perfect joint and all I can get now is a crooked pencil.
i have the same problem. so i took the lazy way out. ill learn the right way eventually, but for now, im going with whats easy. get a bic pen, and roll your paper around that and seal it off, then pull the paper out so it sticks halfway or more above the end of the pen. pack your weed in through the top annd keep pushing it down with the pencil, but do it carefully so the paper doesnt bend. anyways proceed until you have filled up the joint, but leave a little space where your mouth will be going and twist up the end youre going to light up. i like to put crutches or mouthpieces on my joints because the end doesnt get mashed down with saliva and i can still hit it clearly even at the end. get a piece of thin cardboard (i just break a piece off of the rolling paper pack) and roll it up into a spiral and stick it in the end of the j where you will put your mouth. then you could make the joint hard by getting it damp with your lips and using a lighter to CAREFULLY dry out the dampness, so just light the lighter about a half inch away from the j, be carefull to not burn any of the paper. its pretty easy after your first attempt, but it leaves you with a nice sized joint that hits very good.:thumbsup:
