how to roll a joint

To roll a joint, follow these basic steps:

1. Grind the cannabis into an even consistency using a grinder or your hands.
2. Create a crutch or filter by folding a small piece of stiff paper to form a tip.
3. Place the crutch at one end of a rolling paper and evenly fill the paper with the ground cannabis.
4. Roll the paper back and forth with your fingers to shape the cannabis into a cone or cylinder shape.
5. Tuck the unglued edge of the paper into the roll and lick the glued edge to seal the joint.
6. Pack the open end lightly to ensure an even burn, and twist the end to close it if not smoking immediately.
7. Light the twisted end and enjoy smoking.

Tips include using a grinder for consistency, removing stems, being gentle, and not over-rolling. Different papers and filters can affect the taste and burn quality. Practice will improve technique and results.
