Man, I've got things to learn about rolling J's.

Last night at work, the old hippy I work with rolled us a joint. Firstly, this guys, with his bare hands, did a better breaking job than any grinder I've ever seen. It was straight up kif when he was done. anyway, he packs all of this into a spliff that is all of 3mm wide and 2 inches long. He hands it to me to light, and by god, it's hard as a fuckng rock! We smoke this thing, and we are STONED. It's a good thing we were done working, because we couldn't function. At most we could talk.

Now, about 10 minutes ago, I rolled a HORRID joint. I tried to break it up to his standard, not possible. I got it as small as possible, but it's too fucking sticky! Anyway, I got it like I usually do, and I start rolling. Mine used to feel incredibly tight, but now, it feels like there's nothing to it! It's laughable at the differance in the two j's...

Anyway, thought I'd share.

 

i remeber when my skills got realy tight i love rolling joints around people i dont normaly smoke with cause there all impressed ahah,everyone always sayas damn when they hit it ahah i love it,keep practicing the more you smoke the better you get ahahah

 

i never rolled a joint on my own until about a month ago...and man was i missing so much. I enjoyed smoking joints with people, but when you can roll a decent joint on your own, its nice...i know when i rolled them its far from the best, but they certainly got me stoned, and thats all that matters



i hope someday i can make joints as well as that old hippie dude your talking about

 

As do I man.

 

yea its always cool when people compliment you on a solid joint that you rolled and its even better when you get high haha

 

Hey Paul, I just listened to some of your music on myspace; it's wonderful! I basically like the exact same music you do, it seems, so I suppose it's only natural that I was into it. I've been recording for a while too and I wish you were here to collaborate. Anyway keep it up, I feel like you're doing some great things. Also, man, I need to learn how to roll better. I feel like I do that same thing, the Passable J, the It'll Get You Stoned J, but I totally long for the day that my craft will be honed into not just a quick fix, but an ART. Someday, old hippy J.

wow, thanks alot man! i truely appreciate your comment

 

nothing pisses me off more than not being able to roll a joint. FUCK its too loose and shit it ripped. Some days i can roll beauties and other day it looks like i ccrumpled a piece of pape around weed. But golf, tennis and rolling joints will piss you off soooooooooooo much

 

I could roll sickly-tight joints since I first started smoking weed. I mean, I think I might be a weed god!(kidding.)

I don't know why, but I haven't really gotten my joints any better since the first one I ever rolled. I just roll it differently now, but it seems to be the same.

 

i like rolling joints,somehow when i rolled them myself they seem to get me higher

 

its like a religious experience. but i hate when i cant roll.

it really frosts my fuckin shorts.

 

c the stickys arent good for j's, take the amount u want out put it out no sealed and let it dry more and it crumbles up perfectly.

 

I usually just roll the J around something and just add the weed and pack it in like that. Takes a hell of a lot more time but they're flawless each time. And you can make em as fat as you want.

 

yes and no when its to sicky it takes for ever to break up,when its to dry nothing stays in place and dont pack well

 

If it's too sticky to break up good, then I just bowl it. If it's way too dry to roll it, I bowl it. Dry weed makes joints SHIT. Wet weed makes joints SHIT. A bowl is always good, though

 

I love the process of rolling, I find it very relaxing, its pretty theraputic. I love having everything laid out in front of me. licking the papers and sticking them together JUST SO. the smell of the tobacco, teasing it out into a neat line down the length of the papers, picking out a piece of bud, smelling it, the sticky feeling as I hold it between my fingers and start to gently tear it apart. Laying the weed on top of the tobacco, seeing the contrast in colour, feeling the differnt textures as I even it out. Picking the joint up between my fingers and smoothing out the lines, folding the middle over first, then stroking my fingers up the lenght of the shaft to perfect the shape. twisting the fat end, and making sure the line is straight and sealed. Picking up my tweezers and gently pulling out stray strands of tobacco. tearing a perfect 2" strip of card and rolling it tightly before gently inserting it into the end and pushing it all the way down. then holding it up in front of my eyes admiring the shape and the smell. Holding it between my lips, tasting the paper with my tongue. That perfect moment before you flick your zippo and light it, inhaling deeply, the first head rush as the smoke fills your lungs.....

its all part of the experience for me

 

You have just made me very very pissed off. I want to roll a joint now! lol, just kidding. Nice description, though!

 

haha man that was an intense description. good writing. check out the writers forum.
