How To Roll an Herbal Spliff

Rolling an herbal spliff serves as one of the most powerful tools in your self-care arsenal. Pair it with artisanal intentional herbal blends and find yourself transported to a relaxing, energetic or meditative state. Rolling takes practice but once you master it, the plant kingdom opens up to you.

Importance of Rolling Your Own Herbal Spliff

Entourage Effect

First, let’s look at the entourage effect of plants compounds. The Entourage Effect is what occurs when different plant compounds combine together to create an effect greater than what they would produce on their own. For example, the terpenes in our SUN blend are: Pinene, Myrcene, Farnesene, Bisabolol, Linalool, Terpinolene, Nerol. By adding CBD or THC dominant flower, the stress relief and detoxing effects these terpenes offer are amplified.

Control Your Own Dosage

When rolling a spliff, you have control of how much of each herb affects you. In comparison to a commercial cigarette, rolling your own botanical smoke allows you to control your consumption by customizing your dosage. Many factors should be taken into consideration like your body size, diet and personal smoking intention.

Get to Know each Plant

This is the fun part of the plant kingdom. Getting to know each plant individually. Having the ability to roll your own herb will introduce you to a new world of plant allies. Did you know there are multiple ways of using herbs? Read our How to Use Herbs: Top 5 Ways to Enhance Your Daily Life that covers botanical baths, herbal vaporizing, herbal smoking, medicinal smoke, and herbal teas.

Rolling Your Own Herbal Spliff is Eco-Friendlier

Simply put, you eliminate any middle men, products, toxic factory outputs to produce a Pre Roll. If you don’t understand what I mean, I recommend viewing this short video on the History of Stuff. Rolling your own herbs eliminates the toxic waste cigarette factories make. Next, decrease the carbon footprint involved in all the shipping. And finally, you skip on participating in the global waste of cigarette buds, plastic wraps, etc.

12 Steps to Roll an Herbal Spliff

Time needed: 6 minutes

Here is how you roll intentional herbal spliffs, masterfully every time.

  1. Gather Your Herbal Accessories

    You’ll need all your tools; Your intentional herbal blend, SUN in this case, Cannabis flower, rolling papers, an herb grinder, sustainable filters, and a joint or spliff roller (the secret weapon).

    Place a three finger pinch of your Herbal Blend into your herb grinder and twist until you are satisfied.

  4. Mix your Cannabis & Herbal Blend

    Mix your grounded herbs inside the joint roller tray. Make sure the herbs are evenly ground or chopped to ensure a consistent burn when you smoke your herbal blend.

  5. Rolling Papers Please

    Remove a sheet of rolling paper and push your finger in the rolling ribbon of your spliff roller to create a recess.

  6. Position Your Rolling Paper

    While holding the ribbon in place, place the edge of the rolling paper to bottom of the recess with the sticky sealant at the top facing you.

  7. Next, add your Filter.

    Add a filter to the left or right edge while holding the recess in place.

  8. Pack It Up pack it in with Plant Goodness

    Place a small amount of the Herbs mixed with Cannabis to fill up the rest of the recess area.

  9. Now slow it down …

    Slooowly begin to close the joint roller at a controlled speed till you ….

  10. STOP!

    You have to STOP halfway so you can give that sticky sealant a lick.

  11. Close the joint roller completely

    Close the roller completely and voilà, your spliff pops out from the top of your herbal spliff roller .

  12. Double check your work

    Inspect your newly birthed herbal blend. Make sure the sealant is consistently adhered to the full length of the paper. Make your intention, light and enjoy.
