Have you mastered rolling normal joints and want a challenge? How about giving these trick joints a try!
Steps
Tulip Joints are most commonly found in Europe. While they look complicated to roll, they are actually fairly simple. These make a nice present for a toker girl you’re trying to impress.
-
Make a roach about the size of a pencil. Cut the glue strips from some papers to seal it. [1] X Research source -
Make a cone by gluing two papers together to make a square or rectangle. Fold one corner of the square diagonally to the opposite corner, just before the glue strip starts. Fold down the glue strip and seal it to make a flat cone. Cut any excess if you want to. [2] X Research source -
Fill your cone. Open up the cone and fill it with your preferred mix. -
Pinch the sides of the opening closed and gather the edges together, like wrapping a bottle of booze. -
Place the roach into the opening and then tie them together, either with a rubber band, the glue strip from a paper, or some dental floss.
These are a great, basic joint to roll, especially if the buzz from one joint isn't enough for you. These are double the length of a normal joint but you have to remember: their length makes them a bit more delicate. Be careful.
-
Glue two papers together, short end to short end, so that the glue strips form a single, straight line. -
Glue a third paper at the center, covering the overlapping line. This third paper will help make it stronger. Or, for less paper in your joint, simply fold the third rolling paper in half so that you have a glue strip on the outside of each side of it, lick it, and place it vertically between the overlapping part of the two papers, using the glue to stick them together and strengthen the joint. -
Roll the rest of the joint as you normally would, either straight or in a cone.
If you want a joint that looks like something out of a cartoon, you want a Nose Cone. These place a weed filled cone at the end of a cone-shaped joint for an impressive looking joint.
-
Make a cone, just like is described above for the Tulip Joint. Don’t pinch the opening closed, though. [3] X Research source -
Make a cone shaped joint by wrapping the paper around the roach tighter and at an angle. Don’t make it too angled, though. You might need to practice. The width of the opening at the end of the cone joint should be the same as the cone you made earlier. -
Glue the cone ends together and seal them with the glue strips cut from other papers.
