Sometimes it helps to concentrate more on how it feels in your fingers than what it looks like. If while you're rolling it it feels like it is a solid packed consistency all the way through (not too tight) then it will burn a lot smoother, more even (less boating), slower. To conserve weed while you're learning, do what someone else suggested up there and roll your own cigs. Costs like 10c so if you fuck it up you can just throw it away... when you get decent start throwing a half a bowls worth of torn up weed in the middle with piles of tobacco on each side then roll it... smokes like a dream :jointsmile:
