What Is A Cross Joint?

You know what it means, right? You will have the soulful, and aesthetic experience of enjoying two joints simultaneously.
If you think the process of making it is hard, you are wrong. The cross joint will seem like a work of art, which it is, but it does not take much effort to make it.
The History

First popularized by the 2008 movie Pineapple Express starring Seth Rogen and James Franco. A stoner action-comedy that takes the duo across America on a wild goose chase. I will certainly recommend the movie for a Netflix and chill session.
But the important trivia about the fabled cross joint is that Seth Rogen, who played Dale, is actually one of the first notable pot connoisseurs who made this unique creation of humanity a reality. All hail to Lord Rogen!

How To Roll A Cross Joint Step By Step?
We know you are fascinated with the idea of rolling a cross joint. So, let’s focus on the steps now and learn how to make a cross joint with detailed instructions.
Step 1: Roll A Fat Joint
First, you have to take out your large rolling paper and make a bigger joint than your typical smoking session. No, we are not telling you to make it longer. Just make it thicker.
You can use a grinder or can use other ways to grind the weed without a grinder.
You can easily make a thick joint once you have more cross joint weed strains. When it is ready, make sure it looks like a cross blunt.
However, while making the joint, don’t stuff it till the end. Instead, leave a little bit of empty space near the butt, as it will make the joint easier to light up when you smoke it.
Step 2: Insert A Small Piece Of Cardboard In The Butt
If you are searching for how to roll a cross joint, you must have taken inspiration from the man who started it all. But, of course, we are talking about none other than; the famous Canadian Comedian Seth Rogen.
If you have seen his videos, you already know that he puts a small piece of cardboard in the butt end of the trifecta joint.
We don’t know why he does that, but since he has been doing it for 25 years, we will not question his judgment.
Most likely, the cardboard acts as a mouthpiece so that you don’t waste even a sprinkle of weed.
The process is quite simple. Just cut a small strip of small cardboard paper, and roll it into a cylinder, which looks like your fat joint.
Step 3: Roll A Thin Joint
You must roll a thin joint using a small rolling paper to learn how to roll a cross joint. The thinner you make this joint, the easier it is to insert it inside the fat joint.
If you are making it for the first time and still haven’t got the hang of it, we recommend you make the joint as thin as you like.
However, just like the fat doobie, you can also leave a little empty space in the butt end. It will make cross joint smoking much easier.
Step 4: Make A Hole In The Fat Joint
You are almost halfway through our cross joint tutorial. You have made both the fat joint and the thin joint. Now, just take a needle and make a hole in the fat joint almost three-quarters away from the butt end.
Don’t rush this step because if the hole is not made perfectly, it will make all your efforts go down the gutter. If you can’t find a needle, you can also use a small wire or a sharp pin to poke the hole.
Once you’ve finished the construction of both your fat joint and your thin joint, take a needle and make a hole three-quarters away from the rear-end of your fat doobie. Again, be gentle, and don’t try to rush it.
If you can’t find a needle, just use a small pin, or a wire, or anything that is sharp enough to make a hole.
Step 5: Make A Hole Through The Middle Of The Thin Joint
How do you roll a cross joint? We are almost there. Once you have poked a hole in your fat doobie, make a hole in your thin joint as well.
You don’t have to make the hole very large. Just use a needle that is twice the size of the needle you used to make the hole in your fat joint, and you will get an idea of the size we are talking about.
If you forget to make this hole, your finished cross joint won’t be as smokable as you want.
Step 6: Slide The Thin Joint Between The Fat Joint
Now, you have prepared it all. Just insert the end of your thin joint between the hole in your fat joint. Pull it, push it, and roll it to make this process as gentle as possible.
If you rush this step, all your efforts of knowing how to roll a cross joint will be in vain. But, on the other hand, we know you don’t want to risk ripping off the cross joint, so make sure you do it right.
The closer you can slide it to the middle of the fat joint, the better it will look after it is done.
Step 7: Seal Your Cross Joint
We are almost there.
Set aside your cross joint, and take two-three more rolling papers and scissors out of the box.
Cut the glues of your rolling paper, and envelop them around the hole where you have slid your thin joint through your fat joint.
It will make your joint air-tight and smokable.
