My joints suck

[blaze_it]

practice makes perfect but there are some different methods. if you have good sticky icky you could break it up, put it in your hand, slide your hands back and forth to make the weed look like a stick in your hand, then put it in the paper and roll it upp!!!! or just practice... :jointsmile:

I've never really seriously tried rolling joints before, but reading this thread made me curious. I guess I cheated and used a mate's joint roller... Anyway, those things are so easy to use! Made a nice fat one, then lit it up... Forgot I was using tobacco, stuff was harsh!

:wtf:

I think it's a tightness issue. It's not like I can't get it to hit at all, it's just that I have to constantly relight it, and half the time it will only hit when I put fire to it. The last joint I smoked got to where I could actually see the weed, but the joint had burned around it. Drives me insane because I can roll a great blunt, and I USED to roll joints that didn't give me this problem. I also don't think that it's an issue with how well I break up my weed, because often times I'll even use small scissors (like the ones for facial hair) to chop up my buds.

You guys have been a lot more helpful than my friends. They usually tell me that it's because the weed's too sticky, but I'm not buying that. I'm gonna try B0n3ZA's suggestion right now, and I'll post back to let you guys know how it works out.

I have same problem. I can roll a mean fat blunt but not even the skinniest joint. I gave up a long time ago due to the fact blunts hold way more bud and I'm a very stubborn person, haha.

I've decided that it's just these papers that I bought. While I don't have a blender, I tear my weed up pretty fine, and my joints usually look picture perfect when I finish rolling them. I've rolled 3 or 4 joints in the past 2 days, and every time I just double rolled it, and while it didn't burn perfectly the entire time, I only had to relight it a couple of times near the end. Got higher than a motha fucka too...

Also, I've learned that I roll fucking awesome joints when I'm already high. For some reason though, I suck at rolling blunts when I'm high....

my dealer in my first year of university taught me how to roll....you really just need to practice. take your time, chop it up well, re roll it if its to loose. my dealer told me that when you are learning to roll, dont smoke your weed any other way then joint form, that way your reward for learning to roll it is to smoke it.

you learn pretty quick. watch how other people roll as well, ive picked up some good tricks for making rolling easier. like rather then fiddling around with the bits that fall out, you roll it, pack it, put the roach in, pack it again so its all even, then before you roll the tip pile up the little bits that fell out when rolling and put the joint to your mouth and suck them up. 1000 times easier then picking it up with your fingertips.

Wow, never would've thought of the "sucking" technique...

And yes, I realize how creepy that sounds...

It can be the papers but most likely any burning problems can be related to how tightly packed the weed is. From one of the open ends of your join, just throw some more weed in it and pack it in with a pokey. Anything that will fit like a key or a screw driver or something. It may take some more time but it's time you should invest.
