Steps for Rolling a Joint:
Some people use cones (pre-shaped papers) to make the process easier—you just fill and pack them. Read these tips below from Blazy Susan, our joint sesh experts and friends to pack a Pre-rolled cone the right way. If you aren’t sure on what size of pre-rolled cone to get check out the Blazy Susan Pre-Rolled Cone Sizes guide.
Step 1: Grind Your Weed
When grinding your cannabis flower, again aim for a medium consistency. Go for a fluffy feel and clean burn.
Step 2: Hold and Load
Your cone needs to be held in an upright position, we recommend using your fingers and placing it between. Little by little start adding the ground weed into the cone. Be patient and add a little bit at a time.
Step 3: Pack as You Go
Every few pinches, make sure you gently press down the weed but don’t overdo it, it will restrict the air from flowing and you will end up with an almost unsmokable joint. You can pack it in with a short stick if needed. Ensure you press just enough to create a uniform fill that feels solid without being too tight.
Step 4: Layer after Layer
You might as well think of it as a series of layers. Add a bit of weed and then tap it down, then repeat. This is the best way to ensure an even burn from the base to the tip. Remember you don’t want your pre-roll to canoe.
Step 5: Twist and Smoke
Once the filling process is done, twist the excess paper at the top to seal it. It is the last touch, now you are ready to enjoy your pre-rolled cone.
