One of the most technical aspects of smoking marijuana is rolling a joint. This would seem like a simple enough task, but this simplicity is deceiving. The fact is many pot smokers don't know how to roll a joint. It is something that takes skill, coordination and a lot of practice. If a joint is not rolled properly it can fall apart, waste weed and not burn correctly. Fortunately there is an ingenious tool made for those who don't know how, or just don't want to roll a joint. A joint roller is a simple little device that takes all of the hassle out of joint rolling. You simply break up your weed, place it in the machine with a paper, and this magic little tool will do the rest. This is the best method to roll a joint if you don't know how or just don't want to do it.

There are a lot of different styles of joint rollers, ranging from simple and cheap, to expensive and complicated. One of the cheapest joint rollers out there is the Zig Zag Rolling Machine. This cheap 3 inch tool will roll perfect joints quickly and it retails for around 5 dollars. The joint roller has a small base and 2 rollers connected by a thin piece of plastic. You simply place broken up weed in between the two rollers and roll the weed into shape. Many rollers have a crank or motor but this one allows you to just spin the rollers with your fingers for a more hands on approach. Then you insert the rolling paper with the sticky side in last. As you turn the rollers the paper will be warped around the weed, and all you have to do is lick the paper before it rolls all the way in. Then open the rollers and you've got a perfectly rolled joint. You can purchase this joint roller in different sizes depending on how big you want your joint to be. It is available in 70mm, 78mm, 100mm, and King Size. These correspond with the sizes of Zig Zag rolling papers so you can get the perfect joint every single time. This is one of the cheapest rolling machines out there and it's highly effective at getting the job done. You can purchase the Zig Zag rolling machine online at Zigzag.com.

On the other end of the spectrum is an electric, fully automatic joint roller. This is a good choice if you don't know how to use a joint roller and don't mind paying a little more. The Easy Roller is one of the only fully automatic, electric joint rollers. It has a hole on top to insert the herb, a spot on front to put the paper, and it will do the rest. This machine allows you to adjust the size of the joint and add a filter. You just push a button and this magic machine does the rest. The downside is that it is more expensive, starting at around 60 dollars.
