The only way to learn is to keep rolling them and then breaking them down and re-rolling them. And don't smoke.
Just come home from school/work/whatever one day, sit down with your weed and decide not to smoke until you've got a serviceable joint.

I'm a bong/bowl/volcano bitch... I can roll a halfway decent, smokable joint if I need it, but I generally hand off that job to someone more qualified.
Joints are nice sometimes, and perfect for hitting the road. If I didn't own a one-hitter, I'd probably roll more!

havent you already made a post a few months back saying you cant roll? have you been practicing? try reverse rolling. get a blunt and empty the tobbaco out and then fill it with weed. you can do the same with a jay just seal it up then fill it with weed and use a pen to pack it and your finger to hold it in.
ts727, what are you some kinda bat/man?

I'm not too good at rolling either...I had a friend teach me and I am going to give it another shot sometime soon.
The only way to learn is practice. good luck!

i have very unsteady hands (shake slightly when at rest), but I figured out a way to roll. Sometimes they aren't perfect, but always smokable and always am told how good they are even when I don't think so

Practice, practice, practice.
The best way to learn is rolling tobacco imo. over and over and over.

good, fresh tobacco is so much easier to roll as well, so you can get down a technique, then apply it with cannabis

you're not going to be able to do it until you MAKE yourself practice. then one day it'll click and you'll be set for life.

The other day, I got to thinking it's quite a life-skill that you take for granted but somebody outside of the drug culture would think it's pretty cool (or disgusting) if you can roll a joint.
I mean, how many thousands of miniature pieces of artwork have you spent time lovingly crafting before burning and sending away to the heavens.
I'm not sure if there's a point there somewhere but whatever. I like the rolling, sharing, chatting, fiddling, poking, smoking, licking, sticking, grinding and the occasional fuck-up. It's a nice ritual.

Roll Cigarettes whenever you want to smoke. Rolling cigs is cheap and the best way to learn. Since tobacco's a lot cheaper to screw up with. :P

It took me forever to be able to roll a decent joint until I figured out that you have to compress the weed into the cylinder shape by rolling the papers up and down with your fingers before even attempting to glue the paper together. Press slightly to get the weed to clump together, but not too much or you won't be able to get any air flow. Then once its compacted, fold one edge of the paper over the weed, hold it, and start rolling it up.
Also, use some kind of a filter. It makes it easier and it doesn't waste weed and you don't end up burning your fingers at the end. I was surprised how long it took me to be able to roll good joints (although I never had anyone teaching me), but now it's a piece of cake.

fuck a filter just put a tip on it. But Plok's method is the right one. Mold the weed before rolling.

Like its already been said, all one needs is practice. Throw out/sell all your glass pipes, bongs, vapes, whatever. Than you have to roll when you smoke. Its better anyway than fucking around with some charred up bowl all the time anyway.
and J's/blunts are good for traveling, glass just weighs you down.

i roll great joints. joints are my favorite.
one things that helps me is using a grinder. It "fluffs" up the weed when it grinds it which makes it easier to work with. breaking it up by hand usually results in joints that run.

I rolled my own cigarettes for a while from rolling tobacco, after i got good at rolling those, rolling joints are easy.
