How to Roll a Blunt: Step-by-Step Guide

Now that you've got your materials, you're ready to roll! Follow these 7 easy steps so you can roll the perfect blunt.

Step 1: Grind your cannabis

Place your cannabis into your grinder and begin breaking the flower down into a fine, even consistency. Doing this will help ensure a smooth, even burn.

Avoid grinding your flower too finely; you don't want your weed to look like dust.

To prevent this, check your grinder every few twists and turns to make sure it's breaking down properly.

Once your cannabis is fully ground up, dump the flower onto your table and make sure there are no big clumps.

If there are chunks, break them apart with your hands. Plus, remove any tiny twigs that can poke holes in the wrap.

Step 2. Break down the Cigar Wrap

Use a sharp knife or blade to split open your cigar wrap longitudinally, from the butt (the end you smoke on) to the tip (the burning end).

Once it's open, dump out the tobacco inside. This creates space for you to put weed in a blunt.

While you could break the cigar down by hand, you run the risk of tearing the wrap. A blade makes things quicker and easier.

Additionally, you can use an empty, flat blunt paper and start from scratch.

Step 3. Moisten Your Wrap

The blunt wrap will be more flexible and manageable to roll if it is slightly moistened.

The moisture can also assist in sealing any very fine cracks that may result from cutting or emptying a cigar or cigarillo wrap.

Lightly moisten the Cigar wrapper or tobacco leaf by licking it or using a little water.

Once you have your smoking mix settled into the open blunt, it's time to get to rolling it up.

Start by rolling the open wrap between your forefinger and thumb with both hands to pack the blunt evenly.

Keep squeezing and shaping going down the length of the blunt to roll up the blunt into a cylinder shape. Once the blunt is shaped, bring one edge of the wrapper over your bud and tuck it under the other side. At this point, the wrap should completely encase the cannabis.

Step 6. Seal Your Blunt

Once you've rolled the blunt, moisten the inside edge of the top layer of the wrapper and press it down to seal it.

You can use your saliva or a slightly dampened sponge or finger. Be gentle to avoid tearing the wrapper.

Step 7: Bake the Blunt and Enjoy

Because your blunt wrap is wet, it's important to let it dry before use.

A wet blunt will not smoke properly and be hard to enjoy.

You can leave it alone to sit in the sun for about ten minutes and that will do the trick.

Additionally, you can use a lighter. Run the flame up and down along the seam to dry out the blunt wrap.

The heat will seal the wrap patches together, so you can smoke them without worrying that they will fall apart.

When using a lighter make sure to hold the flame far enough away from the blunt to not burn it.

After that, the blunt is ready, Just light up one end, inhale through the other, and enjoy your sweet-tasting, long-lasting blunt!
