How to Pack a Joint in Five Steps
There are a variety of ways to consume cannabis today, some of which did not exist five or ten years ago. You can use a vaporiser, or a glass pipe, eat gelatin candies, or dab rosin. However, smoking joints remains one of the most popular options, and the "skills" of how to build a joint are still a key basic skill that a smoker needs..
But the good old joint is still in play, and anyone who can't wrap it has not yet made their way into the higher circles of cannabis culture.
It may seem simple, but for a beginner, packing a joint is a daunting task. Of course, you can take the easier route and let someone else do it for you. But what a wonderful feeling it is when you can do this trick yourself!
The correct procedure and technique of wrapping a joint is important because the correct shape and strength contribute to a much better smoking experience. In addition, the smell of grass or hashish stands out better in a well-wrapped joint.
How to Pack a Joint in Five Steps
1. Prepare the main ingredient - Weed. Before we get down to the actual packing, there are a few things to prepare so that everything goes smoothly. You don't need much to start packing. All you need is paper, a filter and some weed.
When it comes to preparing the grass before packaging, you can do it with your bare hands. It may take several minutes to break a nug of flower into small pieces. It can be more difficult if the nug is damp and compacted, or all too easy if it is too dry. You can also cut it with small scissors or, as many regular users prefer, use a shredder.
Preparing weed with a grinder is very easy. You put in the desired amount (say half a gram), which is more than enough for a solid joint. Ideally, you want a coarser crumb after grinding. Weed that is ground too finely will not burn well in the joint.
2. Prepare a piece of paper. If you are a beginner, we recommend that you start rolling the joint with long wrapping papers. If you don't have any, take two regular-sized pieces of paper that you would use to wrap a cigarette and join them together to make a long piece of paper.
3. Make a filter. You can do this by rolling up a piece of thin card or other thicker paper. Just make sure the paper isn't varnished or heavily coloured, alternatively, you can buy a ready-to-use filter.
4. Put all the parts together. Hold the paper horizontally so that you can see the sticky part. Hold the paper like a small fragile boat.
If you are right-handed, carefully place the filter on the left side - if you are left-handed, on the right side. Align the filter on one side and fill the paper with the required amount of crushed mixture.
5. Now slowly start to "scroll" the joint with your fingertips. Grab the top of the paper with your index finger and thumb and roll it back and forth to create the desired conical shape. You are trying to shape everything into a slender tube shape.
Once you're done with that comes the hard part - glueing. Slide the side of the paper closest to you to the opposite side inward, tightly curling the edge of the paper around the resulting roll. You just leave the sticky part sticking out. Then lick the sticky part carefully and roll the whole thing up. That's it - enjoy it!
