Part 2 of 2: How to Roll a Blunt by: Mary Jane Girl
-- Revised by Bud S. Moker, Th.C.
Step 1: Materials
Cigar, weed, knife or scissors, grinder, lighter
Step 2: Bust it
Lick your blunt until it is moist. Take a blade and cut a straight line lengthwise from butt to tip. Stick your thumb into the opened blunt and slide the insides (known as "guts") out. Don't try to push them all out at once because you can tear the blunt up that way.
Step 3: Tear it
At this point you can tear or cut off the rounded end of the blunt, or leave it there. I prefer to remove it because sometimes it causes you to roll the blunt shut. In this tutorial, we'll remove the end. Using only the inner layer will cut down on the amount of nicotine.
Step 4: Lick it
Now that you've got a nice rectangular blunt wrap, lick the edges to seal up any tears. Then, take the wrap and fold it in the center like you would for a joint.
Step 5: Add it
Spread the weed evenly down the length of the blunt. (If you don't use enough weed to support the size of the wrap it will collapse in on itself while you're trying to smoke.)
Step 6: Fold it
Give your blunt it's shape by carefully folding and rolling it up. Tuck the shorter side of the wrap around the weed, then continue to roll it all the way. Be careful not to pinch the ends shut or roll it too tight as this will cause you to pass out from sucking too hard.
Step 7: Seal it
Lick the last half inch pf paper lengthwise. Then, press the rest carefully down to the blunt. (Blunt type is really important here, since some blunts are stickier than others.) Do not taper the ends too much as this can cause the blunt to end up with a hole too small to pull from.
Step 8: Bake it
Take a lighter and run it up and down the length of the blunt while spinning it. This will dry out the moisture and give it a good bake, which makes the blunt firmer. Don't let the fire linger in one spot too long or it will burn. Bake the blunt just long enough to make it firm and a little darker in color
Step 9: Spark it
Hold the fire at the very tip of the blunt. Spin the blunt around to evenly distribute the flame and minimize the possibility of developing runs. (Runs can be remedied by smearing saliva on the longer side of the cherry.)
