Rolling a joint can be a fun and rewarding experience for cannabis enthusiasts. While there are many ways to roll a joint, using receipt paper can be a creative and unconventional choice. If you find yourself without rolling papers, or simply want to try something new, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to roll a joint with receipt paper.
1. Gather your materials: Apart from receipt paper, you will need cannabis, a grinder, a filter tip (optional), and a lighter.
2. Prepare the paper: Cut the receipt paper to your desired length, typically around 2-3 inches wide and 4-5 inches long. Avoid using coated paper or receipts that contain harmful chemicals.
3. Grind the cannabis: Use a grinder to break down the cannabis into small, even pieces. This will ensure an even burn and a smoother smoking experience.
4. Create a filter tip: If desired, roll a small piece of cardboard or thick paper into a cylindrical shape and place it at one end of the paper. This will act as a filter, preventing any loose cannabis from being inhaled.
5. Fill the paper: Place the ground cannabis evenly along the length of the paper. Be careful not to overfill, as this can make rolling difficult.
6. Roll the joint: Using your fingers, gently tuck the paper around the cannabis, using your thumbs to guide the rolling motion. Apply light pressure to ensure a tight and secure joint.
7. Seal the joint: Lick the adhesive side of the receipt paper and seal the joint by applying gentle pressure. Give it a few moments to dry and set.
8. Light it up: Once the joint is sealed and dry, use a lighter to ignite one end. Rotate the joint while lighting to ensure an even burn.
