Tutorial: How to roll a blunt

          Hello fellow tokers, I wanted to write this post before the joint tutorial, but I didn't have a blunt at the time. Well now I do, so I will be teaching you how to prepare and roll a blunt. We here at WeSB take pride in our blunts, from taking it out of the wrapper all the way to burning our lips with the delicious roach. As you smoke a blunt it becomes more and more resinated giving it a better taste and making it burn slower. To roll a blunt all you need is a blunt wrap, some bud, and a lighter. Now to being with this tutorial.

Step 1: buy a blunt wrap, I personally you swisher sweets or other small cigars like it, you can buy just the wrap with no tobacco in it already, but a cigar already has that nice round shape you want to achieve.

Freshly Purchased

The swisher

Step 2: using your two thumbs (or whatever two fingers you prefer to use) gently pinch a crease down the blunt.

as you can see I try to keep the crease as straight as possible

Step 3: now using your two thumbs split the crease apart from the top of the blunt all the way to the bottom. The blunt should just come apart very easily, If it doesn't try step two again making the crease a little sharper.

Step 4: now that you have the blunt split using one finger just push the tobacco out of the wrap, you can keep it for later enjoyment or just dispose of it right away,

Step 5: you should now have a beautifully split blunt wrap, gently pull it apart and evenly distribute your bud on it.

Step 6: now starting from the side that you will use as a mouth piece tuck the bottom lip under the top lip of the wrap, then take the top lip lick the edge of it and wrap it over the bottom, you want to do this in sections until you reach the end of the blunt. This shouldn't be done tightly, but with a moderate amount of pressure.

Tuck it in sections starting from the mouth piece

then roll the top over to make a round shape

as you move further down the blunt you can do it in bigger sections

you can see some of my saliva on this one. sorry about that, but that's how it should look

Step 7: once you have the blunt rolled you want to make sure it is going to stick together. I give it a light coating of saliva over where the top lip of the wrap meets the rest of the blunt.

just lightly pass your tongue over the flap

Step 8: before enjoying your blunt you want to use the tip of the flame of your lighter to dry your saliva and seal the blunt.

I really like how the flame came out in this picture

Step 9: if you have made it this far you should have a very appetizing looking blunt in front of you and all you have to do is light it and enjoy.

The Finished Product

          A final note I learned this from a great blunt roller J.E. if your blunt is not perfectly packed to the tip like the one above, then you should light the blunt let the extra paper burn down to where the bud is at, then put it out. Doing this will make the blunt burn evenly when you light it again.

          I hope you readers find this helpful. Remember; You have to cough to get off.

Tutorial: How to roll a joint

          This will teach you how to roll a joint the WeSB way, There are many ways to roll them, This is the way I find simplest and most rewarding. First of all you need three things, Weed of choice, Paper of choice (Zig Zags, Bible page, etc.) and of course a lighter.

Some bud and my rolling paper of choice.

          Once you get your hands on some paper you need to cut it into the right size, you can do so by creasing it with your nail and ripping along the crease. You have to create a rectangular shape, it can be of any size and you have to make it big enough to hold the amount you want to roll into it. If you don't use enough paper your joint will fall apart. So let's start;

Step 1: get your paper and trim it down to the size for the joint you want to roll, It has to be rectangular shape, the shape can change depending on the thickness you want in your joint.

Step 2: make a crease in the middle of the paper, you don't want to make it too sharp, but enough to hold a fold.

Step 3: slowly lay some bud on top of the crease you made in step two trying to make it even across the paper.

Step 4: use your thumbs to push up the lip of the paper facing you and tuck it under the top part of the paper.

Step 5: lick the top edge of the paper to make it sticky and roll it over to close the joint.

Step 6: Now just roll the end you are going to light tightly and the end you are going to inhale from a bit loose and you are done.

         

           Now you are ready to sit back and enjoy the joint you just rolled, not only will you get high, but you will feel amazing knowing that what you are smoking was made by your own two hands.

The Origin of 420

          Every smoker out there knows the term 420, maybe you know it as the time to smoke, or as April 20th our national day, however most of you don't know the truth behind 420. I have heard many different stories about why 420 is 420. I have heard it is related to the bible, or the chemicals that are found in cannabis. I am here to clear up any misinformation you might have.

         I'll start with the story I was told when I first partook in smoking Marijuana. The story is about a group of high school students who would always meet at the same spot at 420 to smoke after school, the reason for the time is because they always had to stay after school for detention and would end up meeting at 420. I know my story is simple, but this is the story I have believed since my days as an amateur smoker.

          After some Internet research I have found that the story I was told is actually pretty accurate. The term began being used by a group of teenagers known as The Waldos. They lived in San Rafael, CA and went to San Rafael High, The Waldos meeting spot was the Statue of Saint Louis Pasteur in their high school. They would meet there using the phrase "4:20 Louis" and go looking for an abandoned Marijuana crop they had heard about. After failing to find the crop the phrase shortened to "4:20" and is the beloved stoner time we know today.

          I hope some of you readers have learned something from this post ( I learned a good amount from writing it ).

The difference in buds

          Today we will talk about the different type of buds you can acquire. There are three types, Indica, Sativa, and Ruderalis. the last one, Ruderalis is not important because it has a low THC percentage and nobody wants that, so we will talk about the first two.

          The big difference between the buds is the high, the Indica produces a head high, what most stoners look for in their weed, while the sativa gives you a more relaxing body high. There are also crosses of them which can vary in Indica/Sativa ratios.

          First let's talk about the more common strand; Sativa. Chosen by most smokers Sativas can vary in THC percentage, some popular sativa strains are; Durban Poison, Blue Dream, Trainwreck, Skywalker, White Widow, C99 and many others. The high that Sativas provide are what most stoners are looking for, a cerebral high that produces the feeling of euphoria and makes you energetic. I have heard that it can also cause hallucinations, but I have never personally experience on from smoking anything (except for laced joints ).

          Moving on to Indicas, they seem to be used more for medical use, causing a body high that gives you that stoned feeling that makes you just want to stay in the couch and watch a movie. I have personally smoked many Indica strands and though I prefer Sativas, a good Indica is second to no bud. Some popular strand of Indica are; G-13, Sensi Star, J-1, White Rhino ( I have been told that this is a 50/50 mix with sativa, I have also been told It's 100% Indica, I don't know enough about the strand to dispute either fact. ) Indica's provide a very relaxing high, great for times that you are stressed or if you want to take a small nap in the middle of the day.

           I would like to describe the high you get from Sativa/Indica mixes, but there are many different mixes and they all have different effects, however I do recommend mixes to anyone who can get their hands on any strand. There is a good chance you can find your favorite strand in between these mixes as they can provide a more customizable high.
        
           I hope this article will educate some people on what they are smoking, happy toking to you all
