Learn how to roll your own joints with the experts at MediThrive! The first part of our 3-part series is hosted by Mario. Scroll down to enjoy your tutorial, filled with tips, tricks, and industry secrets.  Part 1: How to Roll Your Own Joint Part 2: How to Roll Blunts Part 3: How to Roll Infused

Q: Before we begin, we want to know how you learned to roll joints, and why you prefer joints over blunts, bongs, and pipes?

Mario’s Answer: 

I watched carefully when friends would roll up and learned tips and tricks here and there as time went on. 

I feel like joints let me get the most flavor out of the flower without any taste of tobacco, hemp, or bad wrap. I still smoke blunts but I prefer to try everything in a joint first. 

Q. Do you have any tips for those learning to roll a joint or blunt for the first time?

Mario’s Answer: 

Take your time; there is no rush when learning! If you have to start all over, that’s fine; papers are cheap!

Q. Do you have any tricks you’ve learned along the way?

Mario’s Answer: 

Find FRESH WEED. Fresh, sticky bud is always going to smoke better (flavor, quality of smoke, smoothness) and be easier to roll with than any dry or crumbling weed you find. 

Q. What are you rolling up right now, or what do you have your eye on to roll up next?

Mario’s Answer: 

Really, anything indica-dominant from Seed Junky. Their flavor is loud, the effect is strong, and it always smokes good. Plus, it’s affordable fire. Also, I have to shout out to Alien Labs for providing some fire Gemini flower for this tutorial.

Q. Alright! Well, let’s start the tutorial. Tell us how you roll, step by step.

Mario’s Answer: 

Sounds great. Here are my steps to rolling the perfect joint.

1. Gather your materials, including:

• Weed
• Papers
• Tips
• Grinder (optional)
• Lighter or Matches

Roughly break up some of your buds and line them up on the paper to help guide you. Add more or less until you’re happy with the amount. It should look similar to the photo below.

2. Grind your bud in your preferred way. 

I use a grinder for a more even burn, but you can break it down with your hands if you want.

3. Then distribute the ground weed onto the paper.

Adjust the amount, grinding more if you don’t have enough.

4. Pick up the paper with weed and begin to gently roll it between your fingers, forming a cylinder.

It’s ok if some weed falls out; you’ll use it in the end.

5. Now tuck the end of the paper closest to you under the end of the paper furthest from you.

This is the hardest part for beginners so take your time. Slowly roll your way towards the top of the paper and feel the paper tuck in.

6. Once your joint looks like the photo above, it’s time to lick the gum strip.

Don’t overdue it on the lick, a little goes a long way. Once you lightly wet the strip with your saliva (or a finger dipped in water), gently roll the rest of the paper onto the strip.

Congratulations! You’re almost finished. Only 3 steps left to go!

7. Create a tip or mouthpiece and insert it into the smallest opening of the joint.

I prefer to use the Raw Garden tips available at MediThrive.

8. Take the remaining weed left over and load it into the top of the joint.

10. When you’re ready to enjoy, light the twisted end!

This is the easiest part for everyone. Just puff, puff, and bask in the glory of your rolling skills!
