Video: How to Roll a Joint (When You Can't Roll a Joint)
You probably know people that make it look effortless to roll up a joint, Their fingers glide over the paper, twisting the green grounded nuggets into submission in a matter of seconds and tucking the paper so quickly it almost looks like magic before presenting a J so beautiful it shouldn’t even be smoked, just preserved in the World’s Most Picturesque Joint Museum.
And when you smoke it? It burns evenly and survives many a pass; managing to retain its luster even to the last inhale.
This is not me! My joints are downright terrible. And I have been taught by the best; my talented friends have sat over coffee tables and counters patiently schooling me in their rolling methods, tucking tricks and grinding tips.
Despite their best efforts, my fingers get all stupid around the tucking phase and everything goes to hell. The paper gets all bendy and the weed starts coming out, inciting panic, and then I have this loose little creation that is smokable but, in like an embarrassing kinda way.
