We'll start this out with an all too true anecdote about an experience I had 42 years ago when I was just getting started in the alternative culture being ushered in. This is a post about rolling joints. Enjoy the story and have a chuckle at my expense. I will.Really, practice is all it takes. I am now the designated roller where ever I go and have been for a few decades. I might not be so good at it if not for one particular occasion shortly after I started smoking. This was '70 and I was a college sophomore. I was still real wet behind the ears. I wanted to try my hand at dealing because it sounded intriguing in those days even though I didn't know crap about crap. I never did sell anything, just wound up getting really wasted and wasting a lot of primo hash and weed. I had bought a few lids and nickel bags up to that point and grams of hash but had never even seen anything larger. I had bought an ounce of Nepalese Gold Seal hash that had me clearly not thinking straight and a guy I met wanted to trade a pound of Acapulco Gold that he had just gone out west to get for that hash and a hundred dollars. I took the Gold and had no clue what to do with it. I had never seen anything like it up to that point. All my bags previously had been dry, seedy and not real fluffy. Because it was the legendary Acapulco Gold, I decided to show off to my friends in an attempt to flaunt my self-perceived high standing in the hip community. They lived in another college town a few hundred miles away, so I took a bus there and started partying. I had considered these friends more knowledgeable about how to best market my Gold. What an idiot I was. My friends recommendation was to cut it all up and roll joints to sell. Christ, what an idiot I was. We took a bunch of scissors and cut up that whole pound of Acapulco Gold in little pieces and rolled a jillion joints. Never sold one. None of us could roll worth a damn before and none of the others seemed to learn much then, but I became a joint rolling dervish and haven't slowed down since. I can roll blindfolded and one handed. Just keep at it.
But I do not recommend getting your practice like I did in the experience above.
