How Do I Steady My Hands?

Whenever I've rolled a joint I just can't stop my hands from going Ape-Shit. Weed falls out, the Paper gets damaged, and in the end it's loose and burns fast. I need help

I only have Small sized Top papers right now. All out of King Sized Zig's

stick two together to make one big paper

buy a joint roller

good old conscious competence. It's in your mind fool! You are over thinking the task and the stress from concentration amplifies your shaking (kind of like performance anxiety).

just do it real slow over a sheet of white a4 paper so you dont give a shit if you drop all of it at one stage and go into a fit of rage like I used to when time was pressing and I needed to get going. One day I sat down and rolled 1/2oz into joints for a mates 40th birthday and that pretty much solidified the skill.

When you do it a few times slowly and make a few smokeable joints (who gives a toss what it looks like? as long as it burns evenly I think) you will move into unconscious incompetence and live happily ever after.

rip open a cigarette and keep rolling it up and unraveling and starting again. Good luck!

you can use a dollar bill like a joint roller! Did this for a while before I started smoking blunts!

alright i just tried the dollar bill trick... before doing the final roll, i roll it to pack it as tight as i can before the paper rips.. but it's still loose and ends up thin. but after that if i can finally get it to roll nicely, the ends get loose and are almost empty. D:

here are the papers i'm using.

buy a joint rolling machine. theyre quite cheap - load paper load weed lick then swipe the top and joint pops out
you might want to talk to your doctor about medications like beta-blockers or blood pressure meds like clonodine to help with pretty bad shakes and shit.
