Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to roll a joint or blunt at home, along with a list of all the materials you’ll need.

Joints vs. Blunts: understanding the difference

Let’s delve into joints and blunts. If you’re new to cannabis, you might have assumed that these terms refer to the same thing. However, there’s a crucial distinction.

Joints are comprised of cannabis rolled inside a thin piece of rolling paper, typically made from hemp, rice, or other materials. They usually include a filter to stabilize the joint and prevent burning your fingers during smoking sessions.

Blunts, on the other hand, consist of cannabis rolled inside a cigar or a blunt wrap, which often contains tobacco. Blunts tend to be larger and longer-lasting than joints.

How much cannabis to use in a joint or blunt

For joints, it’s recommended to start with approximately ½ a gram of cannabis for regular-sized rolling papers. As you become more proficient in rolling and smoking homemade joints, you can gradually increase to joints containing a full gram, which is the standard amount found in pre-rolls sold in stores.

Blunts, being larger, typically contain 1-2 grams of cannabis. However, larger cigar-based blunts may require even more. If you anticipate a smoking session with friends, consider the number of people present and calculate accordingly.

Step-by-step guide to rolling the perfect joint:

To roll the perfect joint, follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Gather Your Supplies:
   • Your chosen cannabis strain
   • Rolling paper
   • A crutch (also known as a tip or filter). Some joint papers include these, but you can make one from thin cardboard or a business card
   • Cannabis grinder
   • Packing tool (optional)
2. Break Down Your Cannabis: Use a grinder to break down your cannabis. This tool keeps your hands clean. If you don’t have a grinder, scissors or your hands will suffice.
3. Prepare the Crutch: Optionally, make a crutch from cardboard or a business card. Create accordion-style folds at one end and roll the material to the desired thickness of your joint. If you lack material for a crutch, you can skip this step.
4. Fill and Roll the Joint:
   • Place the cannabis onto the rolling paper and distribute it evenly.
   • Use your fingertips to pinch the paper and roll it back and forth, packing the cannabis.
   • Lick the top edge of the paper and give it one final roll, leaving a bit of empty space at the tip without cannabis.
   • Ensure a tight seal all the way down and give the end a firm twist to secure everything inside.
5. Pack the Joint (Optional): If available, use a pen, shoelace, or toothpick to pack the cannabis from the open end more tightly. Finish by twisting the end securely.

Following these steps will help you roll the perfect joint for an enjoyable smoking experience.
