:: Rolling using an alternate style          Print

This is another way of rolling which is quite different to what you might be used to or used to seeing.  There are some big advantages of rolling this way, for example you can endlessly long joints with relative ease.  Possibly the biggest advantage of this method is that you don’t even have to be able to roll with two skins.  If you can roll a small joint, then this is the perfect way to be able to extend that into a large well rolled joint.

Take one paper, king size preferable.

Then fold the paper as shown below

Now make a roach and place in the bottom left.

Add the tobacco and weed to your joint so that it is at a gradient equal to the line of your fold.

Now here comes the tricky bit.  You need to pick the paper up with both hands so that the roach is between your thumb and first two fingers and the other end is between your thumb and first two fingers of your other hand.  You need to gently roll the tobacco and weed so that it forms into a fairly hard cone shape.  Once you’ve don’t this you need to take the first finger on each hand and bring them round to the front, use these two fingers to fold the paper at the front in under the paper at the back.  Once the paper is trapped in place you can continue to roll it around, lick the gum and seal the joint.

Poke the end in with a pencil or anything that’s handy.

Now you should have a fairly small joint that’s ready to take to phase 2.

You need to get yourself a fresh paper now.  What you’ll effectively be doing is extending your joint.  Lick the bottom cm or so of the gum and then stick that to the paper at roughly the angle shown below.  Hold it there so the gum has time to dry before letting go.

Now tuck the bottom flap around and under the back bit of paper and then continue to lick bits of gum and wrapping it around the joint.  Again poke the end down until your joint is fairly compact.  You should get a joint looking the same shape as the one shown below.
