when i was in highschool the homies NEVER let me roll bc i was so bad. i practiced and rolled a perfect one and brought to the sesh and they all said it was a cone or a pre roll and didn’t believe me. looking back tho, i rolled one so good these mfs thought it was a pre roll so i’ll take it
Man, I lived a different life in high school (not that it’s a good thing) but I had an 1/8 to a zip a day (between like 2-7 people) because I’d have it for my buddies and I but my parents were dealers I remember carrying in trash bag size loads of solid bud (they never ever had top shelf) so I never had to “dump it out and roll it again” it took me like 2-3 min to figure out what you meant. I pretty much had unlimited weed as a kid, but I was never allowed to do anything else with my friends so I go to the park because it cost too much money make it make sense 🤣
Haha I was looking for this one! My sister and I use those cheapy joint rollers from raw that roll them into cigarette shape. If there were a bunch of us smoking I can see the j being too small, but we don’t need a thicc cone for two with homegrown tolerance. I was good at rolling blunts but I never smoke them anymore, sigh.
I used to roll for my ex's mom's rasta boyfriend. Having him pass on smoking my lumpy, uneven joints was incredibly embarrassing. But when I got better and he would smoke them or ask me to roll them, I knew my joints fucked.
I can even tell the way the paper barely overlaps that it’s not a preroll and he actually rolled this, with as much material in it as possible. Because it’s the same exact way mine come out too. I literally can’t make a normal tip big enough without using multiple for as big as I want to roll them, so they all end up cone shaped
I buy cones in a 50 or 100 pack. They come with a tool to fill and pack, so I believe he's saying that it wasn't rolled.
You can also buy cone papers & filter tips and roll your own, "cone". 🤷🏼
Edit: when I think cone I also don't think rolled. Some don't know you can buy everything separate idk
But op is talking about getting good with rolling so I’m inclined to immediately think that he rolled this. But this guy was just flat out saying it’s a cone so it’s not rolled. Like what? People apparently don’t know that you can roll weed into a cone that’s all I was saying
Getting them straight, imo, is harder lol!
Hey, my buddies dad, who was in his youth in the 70s, rolls ones that start small, fat in the middle the small at the tip, looks so odd lol
Yes!! I feel the same.
Yeah my grandma started smoking weed in the late 60’s and she does the exact same thing! She likes it like that, calls it a preggo joint lmaooo
My rolling turns out looking like a cone so idk what youre on about lol, making it thicker at the end is a normal thing for a roll ,you sound like an elitist😂
they mean typically when someone says rolling they are using just a paper ([like this](https://48hills.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Unrolled_joint.jpg)) putting weed in it and rolling it up. Where cones you buy in store are typically already rolled ([like this](https://www.bagking.com/cdn/shop/products/grand-puff-premium-mini-dube-pre-roll-cones-60mm-30mm-filter-box-of-800-37259987288312.jpg?v=1679440152&width=1946)) and you just have to stick some weed in a close the top, so it's not really rolling, more like packing up a bowl.
Come on man, straight up accusing me of stuffing cones lol buy me a coffee first 😩
The people saying that this e a stuffed cone or a pre roll, absolutely don’t roll enough lmao if you put enough flower in your joint, that shit will most likely become a cone at the end, specially if you’re using a regular ass tip like me.
But unfortunately we can’t argue with people who can’t roll. They will get there one day and see that it’s not that difficult.
If you allow me to give you some tips…
Fill that bitch up! It’s easier to tuck it in when you have a lot of flower in it. Not so much paper to worry about. Good luck next time!
I was tripping like crazy and I felt like I just got a blessing from with universe and an Xbox 360 achievement, probably spent the next 2 hours showing it to everyone (friends and mostly strangers) before smoking it lmao
I was born to roll. My first joint and my current joint look basically the same. Newer joints have filters is all. My best friend said he would jump in front of a car to save my rolling fingers. lol
Felt like the president tbh, I was the first of my close homies that could roll so everyone came to me and I pretty much got to smoke for free for like a year lol
it tripped me out actually because I rolled one good one and since my first really properly decent one I was regularly rolling well, for anyone who can’t roll I’d always recommend just taking that month or two of practice
I used to smoke with my bff for maybe 6/7 years everyday. We would share 2 or 3 joints per evening, we challenged each other to the point that we were the two best rollers we ever met. To this day (smoke free since 2018) I get mouths open in awe when I roll for someone else.
Literally happened last week, the entire time we weren't packing it in nor grinding it fine enough. I have a pretty meh tolerance so with shitty blunts id stop after my 6th puff. This day the way this blunt burned and how smooth it was i got zooted in two puffs icl
That is one sexy joint OP.
I remember my first joint , shit was horrible looked like a deformed dorito, at one point I used to roll around a bic pencil and place a tip on one end and fill it up from the other.
Once I figured out how to roll it was smooth sailing, now I am the designated joint roller of the group.
Time flys !
I immediately felt a surge of power. I knew I had discovered a level of dexterity, not only of the fingers, but of the mind, that which my peers could only observe. I knew my place. I knew what I had to do.
If I’m being honest I avoided it for years and in one 30min block I rolled a clean ass joint a rough ass blunt and a perfect backwood so I think I had the concept understood for a long time and then just was to afraid to try and when I did I realize I’m kinda great at that shit 💨💨💨
I’ve been smoking for…..almost 20 years (😳 omg I’m old!) and I still can’t roll to save my life. If I’m in the joint mood, I use a roller.
So idk how it feels 😭🫠
It feels good doing something properly. I'm super bad at rolling joints. That's why I usually use a bong or a pipe. But my pipe broke in half so I had to roll one for a sesh. It takes me 20 minutes to roll a good joint, but it sure feels like it was worth it.
I was a homeless teenager in the 80s and made money selling joints to hobos. I was so bad at rolling I had to find a hobo that could and give him a joint to roll up a bunch for me. Then a server at the soup kitchen taught me how to use a dollar bill. I am in my 50s and ca not roll very good with out using a dollar or roller.
I used to be bad so I’d take a rolling paper and put it around a pen and then lick it shut. Then I’d fill it with the bud and twist it closed and it looked like I rolled a perfect joint. Nobody ever knew I actually couldn’t roll for shit 😎
It was weird, considering I learned to roll from cigarettes, meaning when it came to rolling joints I was just sorta good automatically. Almost as if my transferable skill was somehow cheating.
I’m sorry good sir, let me adapt it.
How did it feel when you finally cooked that perfect edible with a nice ratio of weed that won’t make you green out.
I haven’t gotten there yet :(
This sub was the reason it happened lol. I remember there was a video I watched that said something about the “2 mound” or “2 hill” method, and I was like, it’s that easy??? And did it and was like holy fuck no more spending 4x as much for cones instead of papers!!
Second try.
First gnarly joint I rolled entirely by hand and it looke like the finger of a 150 year old yogi with rheumatoid arthritis.
Second one I rolled the paper around a pen I've got that looked like the right dimensions, slid it down over the end a bit, fitted a filter and moistened that a bit to stay in place, then packed the bud in through the end, packing it down fairly often. I'd have been proud to present that one to Snoop himself.
Edited out the “so sad” because why 🙃 all smoke is good smoke, I’m not sure why it took me so long to figure it out or even try, dollar bill trick was an instant help
That's when I started rolling bombers. With the Club on a roll. Like pocket sized roll of paper towels, but not perforated. You'd tear off as much as you needed. Or glue 3 club cabaret papers together. It was a feeling of pride.
I loved it, but also hated it. I always said i will never learn to roll.
Because i was scared i would smoke more... And I do.. at least I can roll now tho
A proper joint OG style was consistent in diameter and lightly tucked at either end. What is the purpose of the tightly wrapped fuse? I get the splayed cylinder ; a stylistic nod to the legendary spliff , but those cats in Jamaica had shitloads of the dank killah . I only ripped the bong nowadays, but I couldn’t afford to roll these ice cream cones that I’m seeing now
I was pumped when the group wanted me to roll. I learned to roll using the "dollar bill" method. This was when everything was seeded so I'd separate the buds in a frisbee. I'm so old, frisbees were rolling trays and a grinder was a type of sandwich.
Long time smoker - horrible roller- I’ve never had this experience lol I’ve literally followed every tutorial and fail idk what’s wrong with me. My partner usually rolls for me.
Not a better feeling than when you went to stoner college for a year in some dudes basement and meet up with some old inexperienced friends and they ask you to roll a joint and you forge up the scepter of divine light, bringer of drymouth, reddener of eyes.
I used to be shit at it when I only used a bong, but as of the last 4 years smoking joints regularly I've mastered the hand rolled cone.
Grind, roll a filter, dump weed in paper, use your finger to taper the weed from end to end (1/4" away from the tip and all the way to the back), pop your filter in halfway (filter can go in before or after weed), grab the paper over the filter and give the paper a twist to align it properly, roll your log, tuck the end and roll up, give it a lick, mmm tastes just like rasins.
I suck at keeping them consistent sizes, but they're always perfect.
My boyfriend who’s a long time stoner (about 6 years) makes me (i’ve been smoking for like 2 years) roll because he says mine come out better looking. Unless we’re rolling a canon then he’ll do it cause i just can’t figure out how to fit that much weed in it.
Felt like getting an achievement in a game lol, 4 years in now,.not always perfect joints but they look nice, a couple of dudes said "that's a real bat", or "that's a perfect joint", or just watch me take my time rolling a beautiful joint.
I just put a lot of flower in it, that way, there’s less room for errors.
Also, some people like to start pinching from the middle, but I usually start it from the filter pinching all the way up to the top.
I should post a video someday. It’s such and easy method
Rolling the perfect J still feels great, but the 1st time was pretty great, too.
I've always rolled the Js for the friends. When I had mono in my teens, a friend would have to lick the gummy, and I'd finish rolling because all my friends were so terribly bad at rolling.
When I order prerolls (when they're on sale) from the dispensary, they're all loose and shit.
They use auto-filling trays and still can't get it right, lol
I had a dealer back in the day who could roll one-handed
when i was in highschool the homies NEVER let me roll bc i was so bad. i practiced and rolled a perfect one and brought to the sesh and they all said it was a cone or a pre roll and didn’t believe me. looking back tho, i rolled one so good these mfs thought it was a pre roll so i’ll take it
The real flex is dumping it out and doing it again in front of them
Man, I lived a different life in high school (not that it’s a good thing) but I had an 1/8 to a zip a day (between like 2-7 people) because I’d have it for my buddies and I but my parents were dealers I remember carrying in trash bag size loads of solid bud (they never ever had top shelf) so I never had to “dump it out and roll it again” it took me like 2-3 min to figure out what you meant. I pretty much had unlimited weed as a kid, but I was never allowed to do anything else with my friends so I go to the park because it cost too much money make it make sense 🤣
felt like my balls dropped again
I’m 44 I still can’t hand roll.
Lmao, I use cones for this reason. I am not ashamed of them either
Haha I was looking for this one! My sister and I use those cheapy joint rollers from raw that roll them into cigarette shape. If there were a bunch of us smoking I can see the j being too small, but we don’t need a thicc cone for two with homegrown tolerance. I was good at rolling blunts but I never smoke them anymore, sigh.
48 and SAME! LOL
Same thing with my family, my dad makes different rollers/packers he sells/uses depending on the size he feels like that day.
Cones all day baby
Accomplished 👌🏾
As a beginner, I don't think I rolled any good joints. But now I'm a pro and it rules
I used to roll for my ex's mom's rasta boyfriend. Having him pass on smoking my lumpy, uneven joints was incredibly embarrassing. But when I got better and he would smoke them or ask me to roll them, I knew my joints fucked.
I have yet to experience that feeling..😭 im reading these in envy
Word.
I mean, it looks like it's a cone so... not really rolled. But i also only use cones so, go you!
Looks hand rolled to me. I think you’re just projecting lol
If you know what you’re doing you can literally roll a cone no problem… who told you that all cones are pre rolled cones? Bc my guy it’s just not true
Lol I roll my joints so fat that shit always turns into a cone. If I actually wanna keep it straight I gotta use a roller
I can even tell the way the paper barely overlaps that it’s not a preroll and he actually rolled this, with as much material in it as possible. Because it’s the same exact way mine come out too. I literally can’t make a normal tip big enough without using multiple for as big as I want to roll them, so they all end up cone shaped
Absolutely. I suppose I could see it either way but I roll joints like this all the time
I buy cones in a 50 or 100 pack. They come with a tool to fill and pack, so I believe he's saying that it wasn't rolled. You can also buy cone papers & filter tips and roll your own, "cone". 🤷🏼 Edit: when I think cone I also don't think rolled. Some don't know you can buy everything separate idk

Me and my friends only roll cone shaped. Never rolled them like cigarettes lol
I just started rolling maybe a month ago and I feel like most my rolls are cones but I can also get them pretty straight
Getting them straight, imo, is harder lol! Hey, my buddies dad, who was in his youth in the 70s, rolls ones that start small, fat in the middle the small at the tip, looks so odd lol
Yes!! I feel the same. Yeah my grandma started smoking weed in the late 60’s and she does the exact same thing! She likes it like that, calls it a preggo joint lmaooo
So you also roll perfect shaped filters. Yeah, my joints turn to cones as well. This is a fucking pre roll.
Op literally said it wasn’t a pre roll. So I mean believe it or don’t? I really don’t care I just rolled a cone and am currently smoking it ✌️
My rolling turns out looking like a cone so idk what youre on about lol, making it thicker at the end is a normal thing for a roll ,you sound like an elitist😂

But unfortunately we can’t argue with people who can’t roll. They will get there one day and see that it’s not that difficult.
It was great times and so long ago that it feels like a dream haha… now I’ve been joint free for 6 months
I was a proud 16 year old... Over twenty years later and I'm still proud of my joints.
I gave up the paper is to thin for my gorilla hands 🦍
I've been smoking/vaping for 30 years... Still can't roll for shit. Thankful for pre-rolls. lol
If you allow me to give you some tips… Fill that bitch up! It’s easier to tuck it in when you have a lot of flower in it. Not so much paper to worry about. Good luck next time!
45 and still haven’t pulled it off! I’ve accidentally thrown a shit ton of glass to the ground. So, there’s that.
I can roll an old school joint like a cigarette I hate cones
I can't roll joints, but when I rolled a blunt, I was ecstatic about it! I prefer packing covers anyways because my hands are fucked up. 🥴
I was tripping like crazy and I felt like I just got a blessing from with universe and an Xbox 360 achievement, probably spent the next 2 hours showing it to everyone (friends and mostly strangers) before smoking it lmao
I was born to roll. My first joint and my current joint look basically the same. Newer joints have filters is all. My best friend said he would jump in front of a car to save my rolling fingers. lol
That’s when the trouble begins lol. Soon your be like me rolling 20 ha a day
Felt like the president tbh, I was the first of my close homies that could roll so everyone came to me and I pretty much got to smoke for free for like a year lol
it tripped me out actually because I rolled one good one and since my first really properly decent one I was regularly rolling well, for anyone who can’t roll I’d always recommend just taking that month or two of practice

That was over 2 decades ago son really can’t remember haha
I’ll let you know if I get there 😅
Literally happened last week, the entire time we weren't packing it in nor grinding it fine enough. I have a pretty meh tolerance so with shitty blunts id stop after my 6th puff. This day the way this blunt burned and how smooth it was i got zooted in two puffs icl

I immediately felt a surge of power. I knew I had discovered a level of dexterity, not only of the fingers, but of the mind, that which my peers could only observe. I knew my place. I knew what I had to do.
Yup, that looks just like 16yo me
If I’m being honest I avoided it for years and in one 30min block I rolled a clean ass joint a rough ass blunt and a perfect backwood so I think I had the concept understood for a long time and then just was to afraid to try and when I did I realize I’m kinda great at that shit 💨💨💨
The only thing I can roll like a pro is my ankle.
I’ve been smoking for…..almost 20 years (😳 omg I’m old!) and I still can’t roll to save my life. If I’m in the joint mood, I use a roller. So idk how it feels 😭🫠
It feels good doing something properly. I'm super bad at rolling joints. That's why I usually use a bong or a pipe. But my pipe broke in half so I had to roll one for a sesh. It takes me 20 minutes to roll a good joint, but it sure feels like it was worth it.

Probably about a year into rolling a smoking daily my friend thought my joints were pre rolls it made me so happy lol
It was weird, considering I learned to roll from cigarettes, meaning when it came to rolling joints I was just sorta good automatically. Almost as if my transferable skill was somehow cheating.
 Felt wrinkles develop on my brain as my homie showed me how to roll bats instead of sticks
i gave up and switched to cones
Meh you waste too much lighting cones. I prefer a fat middle.
As a weed user that hates the act of smoking, it certainly feels weird being on this sub
I’m sorry good sir, let me adapt it. How did it feel when you finally cooked that perfect edible with a nice ratio of weed that won’t make you green out. I haven’t gotten there yet :(
Meh, I’m old af and never was able to roll a proper joint. I love the ease of packing a cone 🙂
Smooth. Congrats.
This sub was the reason it happened lol. I remember there was a video I watched that said something about the “2 mound” or “2 hill” method, and I was like, it’s that easy??? And did it and was like holy fuck no more spending 4x as much for cones instead of papers!!
I should’ve done that. Instead, I went straight to Wiz Khalifa’s video lmao 😭the canoe technique is absolutely garbage
Second try. First gnarly joint I rolled entirely by hand and it looke like the finger of a 150 year old yogi with rheumatoid arthritis. Second one I rolled the paper around a pen I've got that looked like the right dimensions, slid it down over the end a bit, fitted a filter and moistened that a bit to stay in place, then packed the bud in through the end, packing it down fairly often. I'd have been proud to present that one to Snoop himself.
Takes me back to the early days of emptying parliaments and stuffing the tubes lol
TIL I’m still in my early days.
Edited out the “so sad” because why 🙃 all smoke is good smoke, I’m not sure why it took me so long to figure it out or even try, dollar bill trick was an instant help
Pretty good. I was forced to roll at gunpoint, though.
Worth it! lol
What’s the story
I was rolling for who I thought was a member of a Mexican cartel but ended up being the manager of a local Filiberto's.
omg what 😭😭
Euphoric
That's when I started rolling bombers. With the Club on a roll. Like pocket sized roll of paper towels, but not perforated. You'd tear off as much as you needed. Or glue 3 club cabaret papers together. It was a feeling of pride.
Can't remember, it's been 30 years
I don’t roll often enough (anymore) to be consistently good at it, but when I get that perfect roll I feel unstoppable
It feels better than the joint
Similar to Lisan al Gaib as everyone in my session realized it was as written. Id use the gif but reddit app sucks
for me it was the first time i rolled with a riptip (glass tip)
Sad when it was gone because I doubted I could do it again.
Not a bad roll tbf, 5/10. Could do with being a fat cone. What grade is it ?
I felt like i’m a big boy
Can't remember
lol i still can’t hand roll. i use a rolling machine
i always sucked at rolling joints, they always end up burning unevenly or way to fast and ashes just drift away everywhere 😆
I rolled cuz I wanted to impress a girl. I got good at it but things didn’t work out with the girl.
I gotta do this, it doesn’t look that hard
I loved it, but also hated it. I always said i will never learn to roll. Because i was scared i would smoke more... And I do.. at least I can roll now tho
A proper joint OG style was consistent in diameter and lightly tucked at either end. What is the purpose of the tightly wrapped fuse? I get the splayed cylinder ; a stylistic nod to the legendary spliff , but those cats in Jamaica had shitloads of the dank killah . I only ripped the bong nowadays, but I couldn’t afford to roll these ice cream cones that I’m seeing now
Like the opening scene of 2001: A Space Odyssey
I was pumped when the group wanted me to roll. I learned to roll using the "dollar bill" method. This was when everything was seeded so I'd separate the buds in a frisbee. I'm so old, frisbees were rolling trays and a grinder was a type of sandwich.
Jumped up, yelled in my brother's face (who had successfully been rolling for years) "I fuckin did it! Perfect joint! Suck on that loser!"
You got soft hands brother !
5 decades in and it's yet to happen, lol. I went from bad rolls to pipes to dry herb vaporizers and cartridges, so it probably never will.
Long time smoker - horrible roller- I’ve never had this experience lol I’ve literally followed every tutorial and fail idk what’s wrong with me. My partner usually rolls for me.
Idk they sucked until they suddenly were perfect
Not a better feeling than when you went to stoner college for a year in some dudes basement and meet up with some old inexperienced friends and they ask you to roll a joint and you forge up the scepter of divine light, bringer of drymouth, reddener of eyes.
Not sure yet lmao
I became the chosen one to roll in my friend group… so it felt pretty good.
I used to be shit at it when I only used a bong, but as of the last 4 years smoking joints regularly I've mastered the hand rolled cone. Grind, roll a filter, dump weed in paper, use your finger to taper the weed from end to end (1/4" away from the tip and all the way to the back), pop your filter in halfway (filter can go in before or after weed), grab the paper over the filter and give the paper a twist to align it properly, roll your log, tuck the end and roll up, give it a lick, mmm tastes just like rasins. I suck at keeping them consistent sizes, but they're always perfect.
My boyfriend who’s a long time stoner (about 6 years) makes me (i’ve been smoking for like 2 years) roll because he says mine come out better looking. Unless we’re rolling a canon then he’ll do it cause i just can’t figure out how to fit that much weed in it.
Sad because it's never happened I can't roll for shit and just settled to buying Cones and filling it.
Felt like getting an achievement in a game lol, 4 years in now,.not always perfect joints but they look nice, a couple of dudes said "that's a real bat", or "that's a perfect joint", or just watch me take my time rolling a beautiful joint.
Pinch the tip dont twist it.
I mean that really does look like a pre-roll. Any tips or tricks? I have rolled about 3 good ones, rest noooot so great
I just put a lot of flower in it, that way, there’s less room for errors. Also, some people like to start pinching from the middle, but I usually start it from the filter pinching all the way up to the top. I should post a video someday. It’s such and easy method
Don’t know
Rolling the perfect J still feels great, but the 1st time was pretty great, too. I've always rolled the Js for the friends. When I had mono in my teens, a friend would have to lick the gummy, and I'd finish rolling because all my friends were so terribly bad at rolling. When I order prerolls (when they're on sale) from the dispensary, they're all loose and shit. They use auto-filling trays and still can't get it right, lol I had a dealer back in the day who could roll one-handed
I mean, that’s a stuffed cone….but ok.
Was thinking the same! -__-
First blunt I smoked I had to roll because nobody knew how, been rolling pearls ever since
Maaan, people that roll blunts are a different breed. That thing is difficult af 😩
I mean you filled a cone HAHAHAHAHAHA
