How to make a Joint (How to roll a Spliff)
Step by step instruction guide for rolling the perfect Joint!
You will need:
A pack of skins (the professional smokers favourable skins are rizla king silvers)
Tobacco (the professional smokers favourable cigarettes are Lambert and Butler).
Enough cannabis to make a spliff (about 0.4g of properly dried and cured cannabis).
Some sort of roach (a small piece of cardboard).
Step by Step Guide to rolling a spliff:
Pull a skin out of the packet and place it on something that is sort of V shaped so the skin sit inside it open with the gum side facing yourself.
Make a roach for the spliff.
Grind your cannabis so it is in small pieces.
Put a thin layer of tobacco in the spliff.
Put the roach on the left hand side if your are right handed or on the right hand side if you are left handed.
Sprinkle the cannabis over the tobacco so there is an even layer across it and no tobacco can be seen.
Sprinkle a thin layer of tobacco over the cannabis.
Pick the skin up with your hands.
Slowly roll the spliff so that the tobacco and weed mix shapes into the shape you want your spliff.
Roll the side of the skin without the gum down so its just holds the tobacco and cannabis mix.
Slide your thumb over the lower side along the spliff tucking it under the other side and then roll it up.
Roll the spliff up so that the skin is tight around the mix and the gum is just showing.
Lick the gum
Keep rolling it up so that all of the gum is stuck down

personally swim always preferred rolling tobacco not cigarette tobacco because of contaminants and chemicals... and swim also preferred the three skin approach with red rizlas. this is a VERY basic guide but swim could not find one on here for the starter smoker.
