Required materials

Before we start with the different methods, let’s first take a look at the materials you will need. Don’t worry, they are not complex or difficult to obtain items.

Method 1: The pre-rolled cone

One of the simplest ways to make a joint without rolling is by using a pre-rolled cone. This is literally a pre-rolled joint, just without the contents. You only need to fill it and close it.

What is a pre-rolled cone?

A pre-rolled cone is a ready-made, cone-shaped rolling paper that has already been rolled into the right shape. This is often available in different sizes and shapes, and you only need to put in your favorite smoking material and you're done!

How do you use a pre-rolled cone?

1. Grab a pre-rolled cone.
2. Carefully fill the cone with your chosen smoking material. This can be cannabis, tobacco, or a mix of both.
3. Use a thin, long object like a pen to pack the contents.
4. Once the cone is full, twist the end shut.
5. Enjoy your joint without any effort!

Method 2: Use a joint roller

The joint roller is a classic among the tools for making joints without having to roll. It works like a miniature machine that perfectly rolls your joint.

What is a joint roller?

A joint roller is a compact tool specifically designed to help you create the perfect joint. You simply place the rolling paper and the contents in the roller, roll it a few times, and voila! A perfectly rolled joint.

Step-by-step guide for using a joint roller

• Open the joint roller and place a rolling paper inside, with the glue edge facing up.
• Fill the roller with your smoking material, making sure it is evenly distributed.
• Roll the roller back and forth a few times.
• Lick the glue edge and roll further until the joint is ready.
• Take the joint out of the roller and enjoy it!

Method 3: The pen technique

The pen technique is a fun and creative way to make a joint without rolling. All you need is a rolling paper and a pen or pencil.

What is the pen technique?

In this technique, you roll the rolling paper around a pen or pencil, which creates a smooth, cylindrical shape that you can then fill. Ideal for those who don't have a roller on hand!

Step-by-step instructions for making a joint with a pen

1. Take a rolling paper and a pen or pencil.
2. Roll the paper tightly around the pen, with the glue side facing up.
3. Moisten the glue side and stick the paper down.
4. Carefully remove the pen so you have an empty tube left.
5. Fill the tube with your smoking material and gently pack it down.
6. Twist the end shut, and your joint is ready!

Method 4: The Dollar Bill technique

The Dollar Bill technique is an old favorite and works just as well with a euro note, receipts, or whatever you have lying around. This technique requires some practice, but it’s a lifesaver when you have no tools.

What is the Dollar Bill technique?

This technique uses a dollar bill to roll a joint without actually having to roll it. The bill acts as a template and helps you roll the joint evenly.

How do you use this technique to make a joint without rolling?

• Place a rolling paper on a dollar bill, with the glue side on top.
• Fill the paper with your smoking material.
• Roll the bill and the paper together so the smoking material is evenly distributed.
• Lick the glue side and seal the paper.
• Remove the paper from the bill, twist the ends shut, and your joint is ready!

Other handy tips and tricks

If you’re not good at rolling joints, there are plenty of tricks you can use to make it easier on yourself.

Tip: Always use the right size rolling paper for your joint. Long rolling paper is ideal for larger joints, while rolling paper works better for smaller joints.

The importance of the right amount of cannabis

A common mistake when making joints, especially for beginners, is using too much or too little cannabis. Too much and your joint may be too tight, making it hard to smoke. Too little and your joint may be too loose, causing it to burn faster and not smoke well. Experiment with different amounts to find the perfect balance.

The use of filters

Filters are not only useful to prevent your mouth from being filled with smoke products, but they also provide a better smoking experience. Make sure to use a filter that fits the size of your joint. Check out different types of filters here.
