 A basic visual guide on how I roll my joints;

1) Grind bud, make sure it's not bone dry or dust.

2) I hold the paper like this, leaving ¼ to ⅓ inch empty on each side to catch what would "fall out" during the next step.

3) Gently form log, using the paper itself like a roller would. Bring the tops of the paper together and gently roll back and forth to form the log.
(Hard to take a pic using both hands so theres not one. Guess this is where a video would come in handy)

4) Starting in the middle, gently tuck paper evenly around/ontop of log.

6) Lick it and stick it.

7) Tamper down ends.

8) Recycled mail flyers for filters. ⅓ - ¼ inch. Use the tad bit thicker stuff.
(Use the saved money for more sats)

9) Fold/ insert and roll in between fingers to tighten and widen filter to joint size.

10) Fold in the end of paper into filter for a 2nd layer of security so your filter doesn't fall out or stick to lips.

11) Visual appreciation/ inspection/ optional twist tip

12) Light it and enjoy a joint that burns even and never runs.

This whole process takes me 45sec or less having the bud ground up already and the filters precut, but not actually rolled up ready to go.
It's been about 8yrs of practice doing these exact steps.

Hope this may help someone.
Maybe zap and share if you want me to do a break down like this for a lollipop joint.
Stay High, Stay Happy! 🤙
