it’s hard out here with the cold weather but weed is the best pain killer and anti inflammatory 🌬️

    yeah good rec, I have one actually but don’t use it anymore because hand rolled burns nicer and doesn’t go out as often, for me at least. might break out it again for old times sake

      Might take some playing around with, but I’ve managed to get it down to where my joint kinda smokes like a cig when I use my lil rolling machine. Lots of trial and error (and playing around with different brands of papers and such), but I got there.

      If you’ve ever smoked pipe tobacco, you’re probably familiar with the 3-compress rule for packing the bowl. First you fill it to the top and press down with the same force you’d use to shake a baby’s hand. Then refill and compress with the force you’d use to shake a woman’s hand, and then a refill and the force of shaking a man’s hand.

      When I pack the flower in, but before I push some aside to make room for the filter, I only use a woman’s handshake and a baby’s handshake to compress it all, and my joints tend not to canoe or go out too often.

      Regardless, I hope everything works out for you and it continues to help your arthritis.

      I reckon raw rolling tins are where it’s at. I bought a cheaper one and it rolled rubbish for cigarettes. The raw one felt way better and rolled consistently decent smokes. Just have to spread the contents evenly. None of the smaller plastic joint rollers did a decent job.

      Edit: like this one check the other images.

      Another option: pre-made cones and a funnel

      RAW sells a 50 pack with a funnel and tamp stick for like 25 bucks on Amazon, you grind your herb up and pour it onto the flat funnel, then you just lift and tamp the stick like a butterchurn and gravity funnels the weed in, your tamping keeps it packed and consistent throughout

      My mom’s got arthritis pretty bad and she can do it without too much issue
