How to Roll a Joint

There are two basic ways to roll joints, that I know of. Here they are:
Method One

First, you get a 1/2 inch by 2 inch peice of writing paper. This will be the tip. Take the tip, and roll it into a cylinder. Don't roll it too tightly, you should be able to easily inhale through it. Now, get a large peice of rolling paper. Large papers should be avalible at any store that sells hand-rolling tobacco. Crease it about 2/3 rds of the way down. If you were to fold it completly, the non-glue side should touch the non-glue side. The fold will make a little "pocket" for your weed and tobacco. Now, lay out some weed and mabye some tobacco. If you use tobacco with the weed, be sure to mix the two thuroughly. The tobacco will help keep the joint lit, and it will take longer to get high when you mix in tobacco. I have heard that you will stay high longer if you smoke tobacco in the joint, but I'm not really sure if this is true.
Get the weed all lined up on the paper. You want at least 1 cm between the edges of the paper and you little pile of weed. Keep some extra space at the end, so you can twist it up. This keeps the weed from falling out. Now, to roll. This is te tricky part. Take the paper on the small side of the fold. Tip it up with your thumbs. Have your index fingers on the paper, ready to shove the paper under your pile of weed when you get it there with your thumbs. Roll it tightly, using your thumbs and index fingers. Be sure not to crush your tip. Now, roll the paper the rest of the way, but keep about 1 cm unrolled. Lick this, get it really wet. Now, stick it to the paper. Hold it there for a minute or so. The spit on the paper will dissolve the glue, and the joint will hold together. When it's dry, twist up the top. Now you're ready to smoke! If you have trouble, these pictures may help you:



Method Two

Get a peice of large roling paper, or two normal sized papers. If you use normal papers, you should stick them together before you roll. Lay the paper down on a flat surface, with the glue side down. lay out a pile of weed, leaving at least 1 cm clearence at the edges, and 2 at the ends. Now, just roll the paper under the weed, and seal it up, as before. Now, slather the 2 cm ends with no weed in spit. Now, twist them shut.
