How do you roll your joints?

I find I drop more weed on the floor than I waste in my joints haha!

Although I'm the jointman, I don't really smoke that many spliffs any more. I just burnt one now for old time's sake! I think the nicotine bug has bit me again, these days I find I puff blunts like crazy. It's hard to save money for a vape, when weed costs money, blunts cost money, and saving for a trip of course.

not a big joint man as i suck at rolling. when i do roll i use my trusty joint rolling keychain. and i pack it. use mostly zig zag orange, raw unbleached papers,etc. not really picky about papers as long as they arent joker and arent those crazy flavored juicy jays.

i mostly roll blunts though using original unflavored fresh swishers. not really picky about the brand..philly, garcia vega, white owl, backwoods.., dutch master(a little tougher).i'll try them all as long as they arent flavored and are fresh.

I only like rolling with King Blue Slim Rizla. Any other brand just doesnt give me the same joint.

Its gotta be backrolled too, gets much more flavour.

I just rolled my first back roll and boy does it suck but it def improves the taste of the weed... I had no idea what I was missing...

here's a great video I watched that showed how to do it easily.

EDIT: if I can get halfway decent at this technique, I could be converted!

Backflip or backroll... whatever you call it, I love it! So does the Mrs, she says the weed tastes much better! wicked.

Roll a cone, roach in. Use Rips made from hemp paper. I don't like the feel of silver Rizla and I like my joints a bit bigger than a normal king size. Also a roll of Rips fits nicely in my rolling tin when I'm out and about.

i always back-roll my back-flips, too much paper otherwise.

I generally use ocb black kingsize, but the wider ocb expert are nicer if a little expensive due to the packaging. The smoking blue kingsize are nice too i find. I cannot abide the use of red or green rizla or similar weight papers, I find them replusive even when back-flipped. rizla blue or grease-proof papers as i call them are only acceptable when nothing else can be found.

Always roach in first, essential with back-flips but honestly before I rolled backwards i did it anyway as it allows one to precisely choose the diameter of your roach every-time, and never a fiddly accident again!

i have only ever bought one pre-rolled in amsterdam, I disassembled the roach when finished and discovered it was not a rectangular strip of paper but a truly conical shaped one allowing for a better roll.
(imagine a cone, slice of the top, now flatten out/unroll the shape to find it is curved)

Anyone every seen these for sale? I suspect they are made by futurola like all joint accessories in coffeeshops seem to be....

I never thought to roll backflip style , sounds perfect , and saves me cutting the paper once i have the size figured out.
Less paper the better , it can really irritate the throat .

just rolled my first back flip in 25 yrs, with a single green rizla,a comanchi doubie,one to smoke incognito! a bit tricky to lick n seal but an art i am sure to master

i've found back rolling to be a waste of time

i mean unless you roll your spliff real thin, theres hardly any paper left to rip off

i mean if you put baccy in (i dont) then ripping a little bit of paper off aint gunna help LOL

Wow, I guess I'm the only lazy one who uses a rolling machine! I use blunt wraps as well.

I got a question here. How do coffeeshops roll THEIR joints? 50% weed, 50% tobacco? If you buy a 'wiet joint' at any cs.
What kind of weed, just remainders of any kind? And what kind of tobacco, "Shag" tobacco?
Thanks in advance
