Who loves rolling joiints? [View all]

I've been buying prerolls a lot lately and at $5 apiece for about .75 grams, I figure I need to start learning how to roll my own.

With the 4/20 specials out there tomorrow, I'll have some opportunity to roll some top-shelf weed.

I bought RAW hemp plastic cigarette and plenty of weed, but it somehow ends up looking like toothpicks, when I try to roll...

The budtenders make it look so easy.. I don't know how amazing they do these...

Might have to find a decent step-by-step video or instructions.....
