How many stoners does it take to roll a joint
http://www.xs4all.nl/~4david/jointpic.html That is the good guide - Step 2 is the hardest part people have. I put my Index fingers long ways then start to mold the joint..with my middle finger and thumb - Once it's tight enough just lick and roll
Seriously robot - look at that guide...

When I first started learning to roll js the part that frustrated me the most was in the process alot of bud would be coming out each end of the doobie while I was rolling it. I gave up until a friends sister taught me how to make a sort of pouch with the paper first before rolling. You fold the paper like you would when getting ready to roll one but you wet the two side edges with your mouth and then sort of roll them really tight like a scroll to form the pouch. Anyone else no the method im talking about? I found that made it alot easier but now I can just roll a standard doobie like a champ.

Yeah I dunno how to explain it.
When you get it in that joint like shape, just sort of squeeze it and keep rolling the paper with the weed in it. Eventually when it gets really tight and the paper gets just right, you can just roll it up.

As with anything when you get frustrated you are going to keep failing. Chill out, smoke a little green, and keep trying. You'll get it. We want pics when you finally roll one up bro!

Yea, I say practice more with the dollar bill or pen technique. I like the pen one. But my favorite is the cigarrette roller. Those are awesome and make a perfect fatty. Be sure the roller is the same size as the papers. Or you'll be like my lazy ass and have to rip a 1/4 of the paper off. Blaze up and enjoy.

I think the main problem for beginners is rolling it up too early. Just take your time when you got the weed in the paper. Make sure it's really tight and the consistency is right, and that the paper is really starting to stick to the weed and curl.

Yeah that is one of the main problems. Another problem for me is I thought I had to roll the paper up 'perfectly' which is totally untrue. Once you get the bud nicely formed using your thumbs press down some of the front paper over the bud (not the exact top edge down a little from the top) and roll it up. If it seems off or loose just come back down with it again and roll it back up tighter. (if that made any since.. its hard to explain)

You've watched somebody roll a joint before though? The techs that are on the computer are hard to follow. It's easier if you've watched somebody roll up a lot. Just use their technique but exploit it to work perfectly for you.

If I bought a robot and it couldn't roll a joint I would be really dissapointed. Then I would upload a shame program so the robot would feel just as bad...

it can be a tuff task to get good at, an old timer gave me a tip one time and it worked great.
cup your paper, fill it nice and even. then start in the middle with your thumbs and your index fingers across the back. roll it up and down a few times with your thumbs in the middle until the paper will roll under. then roll from the middle to the edges. man it is harder to explain in words, that for sure.
another trick that someone told me was that if you have trouble with your papers sticking, don't lick the gummed side but instead lick the opposite side of the gummed area and it will wet through the paper and stick better. less spit all over the dub too. it really works.
practice does indeed make perfect here. the idea of rolling your own cigs gives you lots of practice too. i rolled my own for a couple years and got very good at it that way.
good luck and keep at it. peace
