       HOW TO ROLL A BLUNT   by   B-REAL

Muggs taught us how to get blunted. It's an east coast thing-one of his friends
introduced him to it. All you need to roll a blunt is a Phillies blunt cigar and a
decent quantity of the buddha (about an eight of an oz.)

	1) Bite off the tip of the blunt.

    2) Make a good slice down the middle of the blunt (length-wise). Either do   
    it by hand or with a razor blade.

    3) Pell the outside layer of tobacco off the blunt. If you leave the outside   
       layer on, it tends to have a nasty taste. The single layer doesn't override 
       the nice buddha flavor. Lick the ends of the blunt paper. Wave it in the  
       air, so it'll dry.
	
    4) Break up the buddha. Word up. Throw away the tobacco. We don't put that
       in there, we're not in Europe.

    5) Roll it up, dude! One blunt is equivelent to about five joints. If you've got
       a good-sized blunt and you've got good weed, definitely five joints or     
       more. The size is variable. You can roll it like a cigar blunt or like a     
       cigarillo. It depends on how much buddha you have handy.

    6) Smoke it up, dude! A blunt gets you a little higher because of the tobacco
       paper. It also burns slower and goes around more times. Word up. That's  
       the only reason I'm with it.


   HOW TO ROLL A BLUNT by REDMAN
 (What follows are exerpts from the ROLLING with REDMAN interview in the
  March 93 HIGH TIMES dealing with the art of Blunt Rolling)

  "I split it down the middle with my fingernails, you know, real simple,"he
says. "Sometimes I leave the ass on, sometimes I take it off, it depends on
how I'm rolling." Redman's referring to the curved end of the cigar. As he
undressed the Phillie, he stops short of peeling away the blunt's outer leaf,
as advised by Cypress Hill's B-Real in HIGH TIMES a year ago. "I don't
separate the paper," Redman relates, "cause I roll my shit thick. I dont roll,
like, little thin ones. Peace to B-Real and to all them Cypress Hill niggas
'cause they're dedicated reeferheads. That's what we need, muthafuckas who's
for real."
    Redman rolls it up, licks the whole blunt and then dries it with his
lighter. "This looks like some good shit," he smiles. "Let's burn it"

 (What follows are exerpts from the March 1993 HIGH TIMES... STORY of the
  BLUNT...... again just dealing with rolling blunts. Check out the whole  
article for stuff like...RASTA ROOTS, FIRST BLUNTS, WHAT'S UP with the  
blunt and FROM WHITE OWLS TO PHILLIES)

    GURU: "The recipe, basically, is break it with your fingers-that's the    
           rudeboy way. Don't use a knife or scissors, break it with your    
           fingertips straight down the middle. Hold it with the sweet end   
           toward the bottom and break it from the open end. It takes a    
           nickel bag's worth on the New York scale-in other words, if you  
           buy a dime, you get two blunts.(*) You don't have to smoke it all 
           at once. That's what's so cool about a blunt. Just put it out. It   
           fits nicely in the top pocket."
     BOSCO MONEY: "Take your cigar, slice it open, dump the tobacco out  
                 and then just put your cheeba in it and roll it and lick it.  
                 Thats it. Some brothers say that if you don't have a razor  
                 blade you can use a key. You can use your fingernails if    
               you don't clip 'em. Where there's a will there's a way."
    
Well, thats just a little sample, something for the blunted! In my travels I've
found people in the so-called inner-city seem to favor the Redman method.
Having tried them all from El-P's thru Owls into Phillies I would place my
reputation on the Cypress Hill method! If you smoke shitweed, then its ok to
hide it in an owl or a double paper phillie, but if you only smoke quality why
hide it! Lastly, I lick both ends of the blunt paper BEFORE rolling, sometimes
I even lick the whole paper (DO NOT SATURATE!!!) After drying the paper is
a LOT more supple and rolling is easier! I have also found that if you start
on one end of the cigar and roll/twist it comes out somewhat more uniform
than if you roll it like a joint! Now fire it up, and crank up some Cypress
Hill, Dr. Dre's The Chronic, and Loc's Cheeba Cheeba just for the Hip Hop
Flavor of the Blunt! All subsequent blunts can be smoked to the Dead, the
dolls, sex pistols, even the fuckin beatles! -Peace- Hempster
