Joint rolling, how to roll a spliff

Home » Information » Joint Rolling » Rolling a joint


	Rolling a "joint" or "spliff" can be as basic or as complicated as you want to make it. The procedure of rolling is more than just a method it's "the art of rolling", simply because of the endless possibilities. The types of joint you can roll can tend to get a little 'exotic' and sometimes expensive depending on how long, wide, or "Phat" you roll them. It's good to explore the range and widen your abilities but primary skills are the foundations of rolling any joint. A spliff is the outcome of several integral ingredients; Smoking papers "skins", tobacco (optional but recommended), cannabis (not optional and highly recommended), roach, saliva and fire. Before we review the processes of rolling we will look at the variety of props (paraphernalia) available to you.
	These can come in different shapes, sizes, colours and thicknesses. When burnt, carbon from the paper causes further harm (and it doesn't have any psychoactive effects), so it is advised that the less paper used, the better. This is why adopting practice is to use as thin and as little paper as possible.
	Although it is considered essential by the average smoker, tobacco is only used for its fiery properties. It's used to assist the burning of marijuana and to keep the spliff alight. Not everybody feels the need to include tobacco in the ingredients, and if you don't mind lighting the spliff before every "toke" then roll yourself a "blunt".
	More than essential, the more the better in my opinion. However, this will dictate the potency or strength of your joint, and will most likely determine the rest of your day! It's important to make sure you get a balance (ratio) between the tobacco and the cannabis if you mix them; a good way to mix them is in thin layers or alternatively mix them first, and then put the mix in the paper(s).
	The roach is put in the end of the spliff that will make contact with your mouth. It's designed to do two things Firstly it separates your lips from the tobacco. This means that you won't get the taste of tar and bitterness. Secondly, it gives you the shape of the joint. Every joint stems from the roach, which should be firm and rigid.
