Rolling or packing a joint or blunt may seem complicated, but it’s pretty simple. If you’re just getting started, here’s how to light a joint or take a rip. With these tips, you can enjoy your smoking experience with ease.
The Materials You Need
To light a joint or take a rip, you will need the following materials: rolling papers (or pre-rolled papers if using blunts), cannabis flower, and either matches or a lighter. Depending on your personal preferences, you may also want to have filters (these are optional). Once you have all the materials ready, it’s time to start!
Rolling Your Joint Or Blunt
If you are rolling your joint or blunt with rolling papers, grind up enough cannabis flower for your desired size. Then use the paper to carefully roll the cannabis into the shape of a cigarette that’s about 1 inch long and ¼ inch in diameter. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect—practice makes perfect! Once you have rolled it up, lick the paper along the top edge of the joint and press it together to seal it shut.
If you are using pre-rolled blunts, skip this step and light your joint or take your rip.
Lighting Your Joint Or Taking A Rip
Once your joint is sealed shut and ready to go, use either matches or a lighter to ignite one end of the joint while slowly inhaling from the other end. Be sure not to inhale too quickly as this may cause coughing—slow and steady wins the race! If using filters (or “crutches”), roll them up into tiny tubes about as wide as your pinky before inserting them into each end of your joint for an even smoother smoke session! As for blunts, spark up one end and begin puffing away until done inhaling.
Conclusion
Whether you’re just getting started with smoking joints or blunts or an experienced smoker looking for tips on how to make things easier, this guide should give you all the basics you need. Now that you know how to light a joint or take a rip properly, kick back and enjoy! Just remember that safety comes first—always be sure that whatever substances you use responsibly and legally follow state laws in your area. Happy smoking!
