Learning to roll!

Rolling is as simple as falling off a log. A handful of years back when my nieces were having a party their friends were trying to roll and couldn't do it. I asked if I could give a try and they laughed at the old man wanting to try something they wrongly assumed he had never done before. I rolled a joint that would rival a Camel or Lucky Strike. I was taught by an old hippie back in about 1968 or 1969 and I've never forgotten how. The more you do it, the easier it gets. Regular or single size papers are the best to use to get an even burn.

If your 'makins' are the right consistency and you have some dexterity in your fingers it is very simple.

What I still can't master is the one handed rolling like can be seen done in old westerns where a cowboy would roll with just one hand. I think that would be impressive to be able to do.

You could always get those automatic rollers. They're great to roll some for the day in just a few minutes, if that. But yea, it just takes some practice to roll a nice joint by hand.

it is not rocket science...it is a weed put it in soil and watch it grow....and when you do you will be growing with your plant.

a parent just doesn't know how to take care of a child the child teaches the parent how to be a parent.....same as Mj!!!

An easy way to have joints if you can't roll is use the dollar bill trick. I can't roll joints freehand either, but when a joint is a must have (traveling, groups, whatever) the dollar bill trick is foolproof.

I can roll some badass blunts *toot toot* but the joint paper is so damn delicate. I need to smoke a joint while trying to roll a joint just to stay calm...

Yep I've tried the dollar bill method too but it's still too difficult with the papers for me.. also can't concentrate when people are around me waiting for me to finish.. I get nervous -- too much pressure! lol
