• Your Herb: Finely ground is key! A grinder ensures an even burn.
• Rolling Papers: Choose your preference – rice, hemp, or wood pulp. Experiment to find what works best for you.
• A Filter/Crutch: This adds stability, prevents herb from getting in your mouth, and helps you smoke the joint to the end.
• A Grinder (Optional, but Recommended): For consistent grinding.
• A Tray or Clean Surface: To catch any stray herb.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Grind Your Herb:

• Place your herb in the grinder and twist until it's finely ground. Avoid over-grinding, as this can make the joint burn too quickly.

2. Prepare Your Filter/Crutch:

• If you're using a pre-made filter, skip this step. If not, take a small strip of thin cardboard or filter paper.
• Create a few accordion folds at one end, then roll the rest of the strip around the folds to form a cylindrical crutch.

3. Fill the Paper:

• Hold the rolling paper with the adhesive strip facing you and upwards.
• Place the filter at one end of the paper.
• Carefully distribute the ground herb evenly along the length of the paper, forming a consistent line.

4. Shape the Joint:

• Gently pinch the paper between your thumb and forefinger, shaping the herb into a cylindrical form.
• Begin to roll the paper back and forth, packing the herb evenly.

5. Tuck and Roll:

• This is the trickiest part! Tuck the unglued edge of the paper under the herb, starting at the filter end.
• Continue to roll the paper upwards, using your thumbs to guide the tuck and your fingers to shape the joint.
• Roll until only the adhesive strip is exposed.

6. Seal the Deal:

• Moisten the adhesive strip with a light lick. Don't over-wet it!
• Carefully seal the joint by pressing the adhesive strip down along the length of the paper.

7. Pack and Finish:

• If needed, gently pack the open end of the joint with any remaining herb.
• If there are any loose ends, twist them to seal the joint.
• Run a lighter along the seam to dry any excessive moisture.

Tips for Success:

• Practice makes perfect: Don't get discouraged if your first few attempts aren't perfect.
• Start with a small amount of herb: This makes it easier to manage.
• Keep it consistent: Even distribution of herb is crucial for an even burn.
• Don't over-pack: A tightly packed joint can be difficult to draw from.
• Use quality papers: Thin, even-burning papers will make a big difference.
• Watch tutorials: Visual aids can be incredibly helpful. There are many videos available online.
