How To Roll a joint

You can use normal papers (two) or king size (one or two if the weed isn't that good, or if you want to get real stoned).
I normally use Rizla Original King Size Slim (What a name).

The Filter tips

The filter tip is what you put in your mouth. Overhere you can buy thick paper in
what we call little books (about 30 - 50 pcs). A bus- or trainticket, business card or
any type of hard paper (or soft cardboard) is good.

Tobacco (or a cigarette) tabak.jpg (36224 bytes)

The weed I normally smoke comes directly from Holland (I live 20 minutes from a "coffee shop"). It is to strong to smoke pure. You'll get to
stoned if you do, and it won't burn as it's supposed to anyway. I do it once in a while just for the fun if I have a nice big bag of weed. Some light
blended tobacco is the best to mix with the weed. I use 'Belga, Yellow'. It is only available in Belgium. Cigarettes I like to roll with (if there is no
tobacco) are Gauloises blondes (the dark bleu ones).

American and Canadian weed (sorry guys) is possible to smoke pure 'cause it's not that strong.

The best part, of course. If you live close to a coffee shop you can always make your own choice. If you buy at a home dealer you don't have as much choice normally.
Some of my favorite types are Jack Herrer (see the buts on the picture), Northern Light, K12, Special, Orange bud, purple haze,.. you can of
course use hasjs (pressed hars from the same plant). there also you have a lot of different ones. Lebanon, Polm, Marco, Nepal, Zero,... are
just a few of them.
For a nice joint you need something between 1/3 and 1 gram. It depends on how stoned you want to be, and how good the weed is.



How to roll it.

There are many ways to roll a joint. Described here is the way I do it, and sometimes a small explanation on how it can also be done.


How big the paper should be (real size)
1

Make a filter tip by rolling a piece of hard paper into a filter

2
Put your paper in front of you and l-place your filter on it.

I continue using the 2 papers. It is more difficult, so if you can manage this, you'll
certainly be able to roll a joint using king size papers.

Put the top of the paper under the licked part and press a little so it won't loose.

Now put a cigarette or a key in the top end, then shake it a little holding the extra
paper at the top (be gentle). This way everything will drop a little to the bottom, so it
will burn better.

Everything done? Twist the top so that you have the typical joint shape.smoke_8.gif (13562 bytes)

If it's done as it should be you should receive something like this.

LIGHT UP AND ENJOY!!!

The boiler is one of my favorite tricks.

What you need for it is:
weed
tobacco
tin foil
a bucket (full of water)
a plastic bottle
a knife
fire (to light it)

Cut the bottom out of the plastic bottle.
Make with the tin foil a 'cap' that fit's in the bottleneck (about 3 cm -1 inch- in the bottle-). Make some holes in it.

Fill it with a mixture of weed and tobacco.
Place the bottle (with the foil and the weed in the bottleneck) in the bucket. (make sure the water isn't that high that your weeds gets wet).

It should look a little like this if you look from the top: (actually I hope for you it doesn't. I just can't draw. Not by by hand, not with a computer, but I
hope you get the picture.inclra.gif (12578 bytes)

Now light the weed and tobacco (w&b) while you lift thebottle gently up (DO NOT GET THE BOTTOM OF
THE BOTTLE OUTSIDE THE WATER!!! ALWAYS KEEP IT IN!).
Keep doing the same thing 3 or 4 times until you can see it's burning well and
the bottle fills entirely with smoke.

Once the bottle is completely filled with smoke you take the tin cap out
(don't burn yourself). Hold your mouth above the hole and push the bottle
down calmly. All the smoke will be pressed out by the water. Believe me, if
you do this how it's supposed to be done, about 3 or 4 drags will get you high.
