any blind people who roll joints? (self.Blind)
submitted by matt121134
Hi guys, I'm just wondering if there's anyone here who can do this?
I've smoked for a few years now, and always have to either buy more expensive prerolled joints, or ask for help from my kind pot smoking brother.
If anyone has helpful tips or advice so I can do this myself, that would be awesome! I've tried a few machines, that haven't worked. The raw automatic rolling box was my last failure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Personally I've never managed to get there. I own a joint roller but they always come out like little virginia slims.
Someone mentioned a dry herb vape, which is my method. Iirc the some of the new ones even have haptic feedback when the vape has reached optimal temperature.
Beyond that I would work with bongs & pipes since these are easier to use without sight

Dry herb vape? Curious about that one. This is something I've wanted to try but I've only ever had edibles and I'm not really fond of smoking

It’s been a long time and I don’t do pot now, but for what it’s worth, I tried a liquid vaporiser back in the day before they were common and it was a pleasant experience. Much more controlled than edibles and didn’t leave me in excruciating pain like smoking or a bong (which I shouldn’t have done but I didn’t know I had asthma ha ha). I don’t know how they work but the blind guys I know who partake use them without hassle.

It's just up to what you prefer. I prefer smoking and a vape is usually a less smelly way to do it, especially if you live in an apartment.

Maybe switch from joints to another method, like using a pipe or even a dry herb vaporizer.

I do and honestly can't say I've found an easy way yet, I started losing my vision for real in 2009, before that I rolled perfect looking joints for nearly 10 years, I quit smoking in 2009 started back in 2018 as a now legally blind guide dog using cane mattafakka and my joints are so horrible some of them ain't even smokeable.
The only real advice I can give that's actually helped me would be to get a husband and or wife/lover/whatever to do them for you.
And please feel free to pm me talking to fellow blind smokers is always interesting, well I'd think. Its yet to happen so let's see!

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys!
I'm in Canada, so most stores that sell weed sell vape pens as well. I used oil vapes for a while and liked them, it's just honestly more expensive than I really want at this point for the amount of time they last.
I didn't know about the dry herb vaporizers that gave feedback when they were at temp, that was my main problem with the one I tried lol, I could never tell when, and usually guessed wrong. :)
I've got no vision whatsoever, but your video gave me some ideas to try, so thanks!
Edit: spelling and more info.

Here’s a video that I made on how to roll a Backwood.
Hopefully it helps, The technique is pretty much the same for rolling other types of products, I just use backwoods.
Let me know if it helps in anyway.

I'm completely unable but my blind friend does roll his just fine. He was even rolling one while dancing the other day!
He said it was all practice and doesnt really have to do with seeing or not but more about manual dexterity
What I do , if it can be of any help ,. Is I get a pencil and wrap the paper around it and seal it, stick the carton filter in , I then pull the pencil out and start filling it up . Ofcourse idk if you have any vision left, I do but if you don't, your best bet is a pipe or vaper.

You could get one of those joint rollers to help you learn if you live in a place that sells them.
