Rolling a joint is a ritual for some, a challenge for others, but in reality, anyone can do it. With just a few attempts, you'll soon become a pro! In this article, we'll show you a simple and clear step-by-step process so you can roll your first joint like a professional. Let's get started!

What do we need?
Before we start rolling, we need to make sure we have everything:
-
Cannabis – e.g., CBD, depending on your preferences.
-
Rolling papers – we recommend thin, high-quality ones with slower burning.
-
Filter – you can make one from thicker paper or buy a pre-made one.
-
Grinder – for finely grinding the cannabis.
Step by Step
Step 1: Prepare the filter
Start with the filter, as it is the foundation of your joint. You can either buy it pre-made or make it at home. Take a small strip of thicker paper, preferably thin cardboard or a business card. You can slightly "wave" it at the start to create the letter "M", which helps prevent inhaling small particles. Then tightly roll the filter so it holds its shape.
Step 2: Grind the cannabis
Grind your cannabis to a fine consistency. A grinder is ideal as it ensures even grinding, but if you don't have one, your fingers or scissors will do the trick. Remember, pieces that are too large may cause uneven burning.
Step 3: Prepare the rolling paper
Take the rolling paper and lay it on a flat surface. Make sure the sticky edge is at the top (and facing you). Place the filter at one end of the paper – this will be the start of your joint.
Step 4: Fill the paper
Evenly sprinkle the ground herb onto the rolling paper. Start near the filter and move along, aiming to create a slight cone shape (thinner near the filter, wider at the other end).
Step 5: Rolling
This is the key moment! Hold the paper with both hands, the filter on one side, and gently shape the herb. Use your fingers to lightly compress it into a compact cylinder. Once you have the desired shape, start rolling the paper downward until its bottom edge covers the mixture.
Step 6: Sealing
Once the joint is rolled, seal the sticky edge. Slightly moisten the adhesive with your tongue (or a dampened finger if you want to stay classy) and press it gently.
Step 7: Final touches
Lightly press or twist the open end of the joint to keep the herb from falling out. If the joint is too loose, you can adjust it by gently tapping it on a firm surface to settle the mixture better.
Done!
Now all that's left is to relax and enjoy a moment of peace. If your first attempt isn't perfect, don't worry – even pros started as beginners. Practice makes perfect, and you'll improve with each attempt.
Be mindful of legality!
It's important to understand that cannabis laws vary by country. In some places, THC use is legal, in others, it's allowed only for medical purposes, and some countries prohibit it entirely. CBD flowers are legal in most countries if their THC content does not exceed the permitted limits. Always ensure you comply with local laws before rolling a joint.
