Keep trying, you can do it!

Don't even bother with the roach thingies, probably just one more thing getting in your way.
and I think it is way easier to roll a big joint than a small one, so don't worry about the weed falling out, just put some corners in your paper, fill it up w green (a little less in the middle will keep it from lookin like a cheeto) and shimmy roll it up. use a pointy thing to poke any weed hanging out back in.

a friend of mine can't roll w/o using a dollar bill, her j's are beautiful. have u tried that?
