With this post, I want to point how college basically work when explaining something. The whole educational system sucks. Let's see how boring weed rolling can be if it were in college. There's name for this subject and some history lesson that's 100% proven to be true :
Weed rolling Basic Principles and Philosophies
Smoking weed dates back in the history which means it's not something recently discovered. The scientist believes that ritual of weed smoking is old few billion years where first ever stoners were ancient ancestors of kangaroos. They inhale a smoke from a natural conflagration when weed burned.

In modern society, mostly the humans practice this tradition. The reason why humans do weed are various: some use it as a relaxant for stress relief, some people use it as a painkiller, some smoke it for fun, while others want to escape a reality through it. Comparing it to primitive kangaroos, humans use weed in a more sophisticated manner. The most popular anthropogenic weed-using method is rolling it in a joint. In some literature are stated different methods like: bongs, eating a cake or putting the weed up your ass (very unsafe but effective method!). In this article we are going to further discuss a most popular way of consuming weed - rolling a joint.
The materials for rolling a joint:
- 0.1 - 10 g of weed (10 - 15% of moisture)
- rolling papers
- some paper materials (for a filter)
- surface for crafting
- tobacco
- grinder (optional)
The method:
You need weed (the main ingredient) that you recently bought from a local dealer and weed need to be grinded (Picture 2.). You need to grind it for yourself since most dealers won't grind it for you before selling. It's a cold world.
Picture 2. Morphological differences between not grinded (left) and hand-grinded (right) weed.
Grinding can be done with a grinder (Picture 3.) or with your fingers respectively. Most research shows that grinding with a grinder is a more proficient way because the grinder makes smaller particles. It's scientifically proven that smaller particles have a more active surface that increases its reactivity which leads to a better burning.
Picture 3. A grinder - very useful invention that can help you with grinding weed. Anyway, if you have a pair of hands on your lagger then using a grinder is optional.
If you ain't got a grinder, you can do just fine with your fingers (Picture 3.) For using this method you need to have a pair of hands (alternatively only one) and fingers. There is no evidence that grinding can be done without hands. If you are using hands and fingers then your grinding ability will depend on the size of your nails and increase proportionally (Graph 1.). Be aware that it's not recommended to have very long nails for hygienic purposes.
When you grinded the main ingredient it's time to prepare your rolling papers on a dry surface (VERY IMPORTANT!) When you ensure that environmental conditions are fulfilled, you can then put your rolling paper on the surface and craft a filter (Picture 5.).
Afterwards, fill the rolling paper with tobacco and then with GRINDED weed. (Picture 6.) Some people use premixture system where they mix weed and tobacco before putting it rolling paper.
When you are done with rolling you must use thermal energy to get things going inside your joint. This is a very delicate step. There are two most used methods for lighting a joint: a lighter (as a predominant) and matches. Scientists believe that it's very hard to understand whole complexity of methods used for lighting a joint. Further research needs to be done. It's up to us, young enthusiastic scientists, to investigate this area more in order to gain useful insights.
After rolling a joint it's recommended to use some munchies because you can get the urge to eat some random shit that humans eat. Therefore, it's highly recommended to prepare some junk food with high cholesterol and sodium level and afterward worry that you'll die soon because you live like a mess and eat like a shit without exercise at all.
