How to Roll a Double-Skin Joint

This is a handy rolling method if you find you’ve only got small rolling papers and you’re in need of a decent sized joint. Of course, you can always progress to large papers when you wanna get really trollied!

You will need:

  • Regular rolling papers
  • Roach material
  • Herb and tobacco mix
  • Grinder

Step-by-Step:

  1. Make sure your mix is well ground. It’s best to use a grinder for your herbs or if you don’t have one you can use scissors. Mix your herbs and tobacco together.

  2. Take 2 papers and line them up so that both gums are on the same side and facing upwards.

  3. Take another paper and fold it in half. Lick along the gum.

  4. Carefully use the wet gum like a piece of double sided selotape to stick the other papers together. But don’t leave it there – take it away once the other papers have been pressed onto it, then stick the papers together properly.

  5. Spread your mixture onto your joint plan and place a roach at one end.

  6. Pick up the paper with everything in it and begin to roll from the middle outwards. (For more rolling tips see How to Roll a 1-Skin Joint.)
  7. Tuck down the paper and ensure that the gum strips are facing you. Roll the excess paper around the joint, wet the gum and seal it up.
  8. Some people like to poke down the paper around the roach for a neater fit. Alternatively, you can burn this down a little.

  9. Finally, pinch the excess paper at the end of your joint and twist it. This way you won’t lose any of your mix and it ensures your joint is tight enough.
