Rollers making your Cannabis joint tight
But what if there was a way to roll joints in a roller that is already loose and STILL get those nice burns and puffs like a good hand-roll can achieve? Well, now you can! Here’s the best way to use a joint roller and prevents the tiring struggles of roller-made joints being too tight to get a good puff on. Most Cannabis joint rollers are typically one to two millimeters long than the rolling papers they’re meant for. This length makes it easier to use a trick that helps achieve nice burns and puffs from those otherwise too-tight roller-made joints.Tools to Rolling Better Cannabis Joints
- Cannabis flower, obviously
- A Cannabis joint roller
- Appropriate rolling papers for the joint roller
- A pair of scissors
- And finally, the key to this trick two toothpicks!
- A separate optional trick is to use a cotton swab and water to seal the joint, which is easier to accomplish with a joint roller than compared to hand-rolling. This will come in handy if you share the joint with other smokers.
Too Much Heat from Vaping Can Be DangerousNote: It is not recommended to use only one toothpick; your joint could run a lot easier. Running is still possible with two toothpicks, but using two mainly prevents that from happening.
Steps to Rolling Better Cannabis Joints
First, you need a grinder. You can buy one from any head shop for about 5.00 dollars, or you can get an excellent quality plastic grinder for about the same price at Walmart. I prefer the plastic ones because they’re more durable and last longer than glass grinders. Why? Because when you break them, they don’t shatter into pieces everywhere like glass does (which is fun when it’s in your room and you are trying to make a nice joint). Once you have a grinder, you need weed. The more the better! I usually use about half a gram of marijuana per joint, but that’s just me. You can also use hashish or hash oil instead of plain old dried bud if you want a stronger hit.
Now that you’ve got all your material ready, it’s time to make the joint:
- Break up the cannabis flower, either with scissors or by hand, until the nugs have all mostly crumbled.
- Place the belt roller or the sleeve of the roller on one end of the roller.
- While the roller is empty, place one toothpick on the opposite end of the belt or sleeve in the roller.
- Evenly add cannabis flower into the joint roller, in the range of .3 to .4 or .45 grams, unless of course, it’s one of those large or giant rollers meant for bigger papers.
- Now add the herb and place the other toothpick on top of the herb at the same end as the first toothpick.
Next Steps to rolling a joint

- Insert rolling paper at the opposite end of the toothpicks. Make sure the paper is inserted evenly and doesn’t go in crooked.
- Wet the paper gum to seal the joint and roll it up.
- Remove the Cannabis joint from the roller.
- You may or may not be able to see the toothpicks sticking out of one end of the joint. If you do, simply pull them out, if not, just fold back the end of the joint a bit and empty a bit of flower out of the joint if needed until you’re able to remove both toothpicks, it shouldn’t take much effort.
- Re-wet the seal line of the joint as needed.
- Be sure to remember which end the toothpicks came out of.
- Loosen up and empty a bit of herb out of the opposite side of where you pulled the toothpicks out of by rolling your fingers around the joint. Also roll your fingers around the toothpick end to fill in the gaps a bit of where the toothpicks were.
- Gently twist up both ends of the Cannabis joint.
- Snip a slight amount of paper off of both ends with a pair of scissors, just enough to still be able to get a good puff on it.
- It is recommended to puff on the end of the joint where you removed the toothpicks and to light the opposite end.
