How to roll a joint in 7 easy steps

Rolling papers are thin sheets used to wrap ground flower into a joint. They come in booklets, commonly 32 to 50 leaves, and in a handful of standard sizes. Single wide is the shortest and narrowest, close to a cigarette paper. The 1 1/4 size is the most common at roughly 76 to 78mm. The 1 1/2 and double wide sizes are wider for more material, and king size runs about 108 to 110mm for the longest joints. Alongside flat papers, the category includes pre-rolled cones, which are ready-made and only need filling, plus paper tips or crutches that form a mouthpiece. Papers also vary by gum strip and come in bleached or unbleached finishes. Booklets may have a magnetic or tuck closure, and many packs include a strip of tips inside the cover.

Yes. Wood pulp is sturdy and easy to handle but adds the most papery taste. Hemp is slightly textured, seals well, and burns at a medium rate. Rice papers are the thinnest, nearly translucent, and burn slowest with the least flavor, though they tear if handled roughly. Paper weight, measured in grams per square meter, tracks all of this: lighter paper means less ash and less taste. The gum strip is typically gum arabic.

Almost always. Papers, cones, and tips are stocked at dispensaries, smoke shops, and many convenience stores, and they carry far fewer restrictions than cannabis. Use Leafly to find local dispensaries, and check delivery options near you if you are restocking.
