Every type of joint has a unique design—like a stoner snowflake. Even as the cannabis industry evolves with hip new extracts and battery-charged vapes, nothing hits like an OG doobie. Both old-school smokers and newcomers relish the aromatic puffs from this simple blend of paper, weed, and fire.
The Joint carries all the supplies you need to perfect your joint rolling techniques. Our flower is the best in Canada, with potent strains fresh from the farm. These nugs feature carefully cultivated cannabinoids and terpenes, providing mouth-water hits that produce a full-spectrum effect.
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, though! Before you know what you’ll need from the dispensary, you must know the type of joint you prefer. We’re going to dive into different doobies and their joint rolling techniques!
9 Best Types of Joints to Try
We put down our rolling papers long enough to compile a list of our nine favourite joints. They range from classic to eye-catching and basic to more advanced joint rolling techniques.
Basic Joint
Every stoner will tell you that smoking a basic joint is a rite of passage. This joint rolling technique is as simple as it gets. Load a normal-sized rolling paper with ground nugs, roll it up, and presto! You’re ready to go.
Some smokers prefer adding a filter to their paper before rolling this joint. It can help cut down on any plant material entering your throat and take the edge off harsh tokes. For the perfectionists amongst us, you can quickly and efficiently roll basic joints with the help of automatic or manual rollers.
Tulip Joint
From one type of flower to another, the tulip joint gets its name from spring’s bulbous bloomer. This type of joint is incredibly unique, with its upper part fat and round, connecting to a skinnier basic joint that serves as the stem. When rolled properly, it’s unmistakably the shape of a tulip.
This joint rolling technique is slightly more advanced. You begin by rolling a basic joint and setting it aside. Using three papers, you’ll create a triangle that seals on all sides but the bottom. Stuff this pouch with cannabis. Then, insert the tip of your basic joint. Roll a paper into a string and tie it to secure the stem’s tip inside the pouch.
Fatty Joint
As the name suggests, the fatty is an oversized joint perfect for legendary smoke sessions. Whether you’re a cannabis lover with a high tolerance or hosting the next smoke circle, you’ll love the buzz of all that extra flower. The technique is simple: just grab large papers and fill them with more bud!
Cone Joint
For many cannabis connoisseurs, the cone joint was their first foray into adventurous joint rolling techniques. To roll a cone, you must ensure that the paper appears tapered. To achieve this, roll with a smaller diameter towards the end of the joint, allowing the diameter to increase as it approaches the tip. The final result should conjure images of an ice cream cone.
The cone is one of the most popular types of joints. To meet this demand, rolling paper brands offer pre-rolled cones that you only have to fill. This easy-to-use option is excellent for novices.
Pre-Rolled Joints
If someone wants an instant cannabis solution then the pre-rolled joint is the quickest option. Available as singles or in a pack, these grab-and-go options are brimming buzzy buds without getting your hands dirty. Shop our extensive pre-roll selection at any of our convenient locations in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, or Alberta!
The Scorpion Joint
The cannabis community is known for its creativity, and the scorpion joint is no exception. Rolling a joint that looks like a scorpion is more than just a smoke session—it’s practically an art show featuring herbal origami!
This type of joint requires rolling five joints: One king-sized joint for the body, one medium joint for the arms, and three smaller ones for the legs. The tricky part is then assembling your scorpion. You’ll need needle nose tweezers to gently poke holes for the arms and legs.
Cross Joint
The cross is one of the most popular joint rolling techniques of all time. Many stoners will recognize this joint from the classic marijuana midnight movie, Pineapple Express.
The technique for a cross is similar to the scorpion. Roll a fattie and a basic joint. Then, poke a hole in the fattie and insert the basic joint. To create a seal, cut off the glue from two rolling papers and wrap it around the connections between the intersecting joints.
The Shotgun Joint
Looking for a double-barreled buzz? The shotgun joint captures the outlaw spirit with its iconic shape—and tons of your favorite strain. To roll a shotgun joint, you’ll start by rolling two basic joints and then wrapping them together in a king-sized paper. Then, you’ll use two papers to make a big hollow joint.
To create the gun’s handle, insert the “barrel” into the hollow paper at an angle, sealing the connection. Then, fill the hollow joint with cannabis and seal it completely. Create a small trigger by folding another rolling paper several times and then connecting it to the barrel and the handle.
The Triple Braid Joint
The triple braid joint rolling technique is a simple approach with stunning results. All you have to do is roll three joints of equal size, ensure the cannabis inside has room to twist, and braid them together. Start with the joint furthest to the right and place it between the other two joints. Then, do the same with the joint on the left. Repeat this process until you have a buzzy braid!
