I'm a joint guy. Use a grinder and a roller with a cardboard tip (crutch). But that being said, there is something about the perfect hand separated and fluffed bud, that is hand-rolled that just seems right.

Before i had to keep everything hushed away because of the kids. I'd use one of these......

A little time consuming compared to a grinder but i had total control over how small i wanted my pieces. Coarser cut for a bowl or a blunt, (used to mainly smoke bowls) finely chopped for spliffs and toots.

Making plans with a stoner is like being with a prostitute. They tell you they’re coming, but you know it’s a lie.

Nearly always crumble by hand because I prefer how it smokes and tastes, but I will occasionally use a grinder if I'm doing a large amount, or scissors if the weed is particularly fresh or too sticky. Cheers :puff puff:

I use a GR420 grinder for everything. I might even grab a spare grinder and drill bigger holes to let bigger buds pass through.

I have tons of GR420 merch but I’m still so jealous I don’t have a grinder

Also, different size joints for different times/purposes. Here is a roll I have heard called a "dog walker". It is a king size, with a tip in each end, the rolled and cut in half. Instead of smoking half and relighting a "used" joint, you get a fresh doob. Demonstrated below:

Top to bottom: King size, 1-1/4 and dog-walker. BTW: that's Gush Mintz on the tray.

I was looking into these rolling machines as I struggle to roll myself, still fairly new to rolling!
