Tutorial de balanceo de adentro hacia afuera (holandés/retroceso): la técnica conjunta definitiva
El balanceo de adentro hacia afuera (también llamado holandés rodar, retroceso o laminación inversa) es una técnica avanzada de laminación de articulaciones que utiliza papel mínimo para un sabor más limpio y una combustión más lenta. Esta guía te enseña cómo dominar esta impresionante habilidad.
respuesta rápida
Para rodar hacia afuera: voltear el papel boca abajo (goma abajo), agregar filtro y cannabis normalmente, rodar y dar forma, meter el borde inferior (no engomado) debajo, enrollar hasta que la línea de las encías se muestre a través del papel desde adentro, lamer fuera de la junta para activar la encía a través del papel, sellar, arrancar el exceso de papel. Utiliza un 50% menos de papel que el rodamiento normal.
¿Qué es el rodamiento de adentro hacia afuera?
El concepto:
Rodamiento normal:
- La tira de encía caras arriba
- Te mueves hacia la goma
- Sello lamiendo la goma de mascar en la parte superior
- Todas las capas de papel permanecen
Rodamiento de adentro hacia afuera:
- La tira de encías boca abajo (hacia la superficie)
- Te alejas de las encías inicialmente
- El encía termina en el interior
- Lamer a través del papel para activar la encía
- Despegar el exceso de capa de papel exterior
Result: alrededor de 50% menos de papel, sabor más limpio, quemadura más lenta
¿Por qué rodar de adentro hacia afuera?
Ventajas:
- Menos papel = mejor sabor: Domina el sabor del cannabis, sabor mínimo del papel
- Quemadura más lenta: Menos papel significa quemadura más lenta y controlada
- Impressive: Muestra maestría en movimiento, impresiona a otros fumadores
- humo más suave: Reducción de la dureza de menos papel
- Cleaner: Sin sabor a adhesivo (engo sellado desde el interior)
Desventajas:
- Difficult: Requiere habilidades sólidas de rodadura primero
- Mayor tasa de fallas: fácil de estropear mientras aprendes
- Papeles de desecho: Esperar muchos fracasos al aprender
- Not faster: tarda más que el rodamiento normal
quien deberia intentar: Rodillos experimentados que pueden rodar articulaciones regulares de manera constante
Prerrequisitos
Antes de intentarlo de adentro hacia afuera, deberías poder:
- Tirar una articulación regular con éxito 80%+ del tiempo
- Rodar sin máquina de laminación
- Entender la técnica de met and roll
- Tener buena destreza en los dedos y control del papel
Si aún no puede rodar las articulaciones regulares de manera constante: Rodamiento básico maestro primero. Probar de adentro hacia afuera demasiado pronto solo desperdiciará papeles y te frustrará.
lo que necesitas
- Papeles de liar finos (rice or thin hemp work best)
- Consejos de filtro
- Cannabis molido (0.5-0.75g)
- Grinder
- Documentos de práctica (espese desperdiciar 10-20 aprendizaje)
recomendación de papel: OCB, elementos o papeles de arroz crudo. Los papeles delgados le permiten ver la línea de las encías a través de ellos (crítica para esta técnica).
Paso a paso: rodadura de adentro hacia afuera
Paso 1: Voltee el papel al revés
Place rolling paper with the Tira de goma hacia abajo toward the rolling surface. This is the opposite of normal rolling.
control visual: El lado pegajoso de la encía debe estar tocando la bandeja o los dedos, no mirando hacia usted.
Por qué importa esto: Esta orientación permite que la encía termine en el interior de la articulación después de rodar.
Paso 2: Filtro de posición y cannabis
Exactamente como el rodamiento normal:
- Coloque el filtro en un extremo (generalmente se deja para los diestros)
- Distribuya el cannabis molido de manera uniforme a lo largo del papel
- Cantidad: 0.5-0.75g (ligeramente menor de lo normal - más fácil de controlar)
Recordatorio clave: La goma está debajo/mirando hacia abajo, pero estás posicionando todo lo mismo que una articulación normal.
Paso 3: Rodar y formar
Roll back and forth between your thumbs and fingers to shape the joint, Exactamente como el rodamiento normal.
El movimiento de balanceo es idéntico - you're just working with the paper flipped.
Important: Dale forma bien aquí. Buena conformación = más fácil en el siguiente paso.
Paso 4: El Tuck Crítico (diferente de lo normal)
Aquí es donde el inside-out difiere:
Rodamiento normal: Mete el borde más cerca de ti (lado de goma) debajo del cannabis
Inside-out: Aparta el borde más lejos de ti (lado no goma) debajo del cannabis
Why: Como la goma está orientada hacia abajo, se mete el borde opuesto. La goma vendrá y se encontrará desde adentro.
Esta es la parte más difícil de visualizar. El borde que no es de encía se mete debajo, rueda alrededor de cannabis y, finalmente, la goma (que viene de abajo) se mostrará a través del papel.
Paso 5: Roda para exponer la encía a través del papel
Continúe rodando la junta cerrada. Mientras rueda:
Esté atento a la línea de las encías: Verás que aparece una línea ligeramente más oscura/brillante a través del papel desde el interior. Esta es la tira de goma que se muestra a través.
Se requieren papeles delgados: Esta es la razón por la cual los papeles de arroz/cáñamo delgados funcionan mejor: debe ver la línea de las encías a través del papel.
como se ve: una línea más oscura que recorre la longitud de la junta, visible a través de la capa exterior del papel.
Paso 6: Lamer a través del papel (El paso mágico)
Una vez que veas la línea de las encías a través del papel:
lamer el exterior of the joint along that line. Your saliva will soak through the thin paper and activate the gum on the inside.
Technique:
- Lamiendo generoso (no seas tímido - la saliva debe penetrar el papel)
- Sigue toda la línea de las encías
- Puede lamer en secciones o todo a la vez
que esta pasando: Saliva → A través del papel exterior → Activa la goma de mascar en el interior → Palos de goma al cannabis/papel interior
Step 7: Seal and Hold
Press firmly along the licked line for 5-10 seconds.
You're sealing from the inside: The gum is sticking the inner paper layers together, even though you licked from outside.
Check: Joint should feel sealed. Gum has activated through the paper.
Step 8: Tear Off Excess Paper
Now the satisfying part:
The excess paper that rolled around the outside (the extra layer) can be torn away.
How to remove:
- Option A: Tear it off carefully along the seal line
- Option B: Burn it off when you light the joint (more common)
- Option C: Lick along the line you want to tear, then tear (moisture makes it easier)
Result: Minimal paper remaining - just one thin layer around your cannabis instead of two.
Common Inside-Out Rolling Problems
Problem: Can't See Gum Line Through Paper
Cause: Paper too thick, or haven't rolled far enough
Solution:
- Use thinner papers (rice papers work best)
- Hold joint up to light to see gum line
- Roll further - gum line becomes visible once inner and outer layers overlap
Problem: Gum Won't Stick When Licking Outside
Cause: Not enough saliva, or paper too thick
Solution:
- Lick more generously - really wet it
- Use thinner papers
- Hold and press longer (10-15 seconds)
- Try breathing hot air on it to help activate gum
Problem: Joint Falls Apart While Tearing Excess
Cause: Gum didn't seal properly
Solution:
- Don't tear - just burn excess when lighting
- Ensure gum fully activated before tearing
- Press seal longer before attempting to tear
Problem: Confused About Which Edge to Tuck
Cause: Paper orientation disorientation
Visual trick:
- Normal roll: Gum UP → tuck near edge
- Inside-out: Gum DOWN → tuck far edge
- Tuck the edge that DOESN'T have gum underneath it
Problem: Waste Too Much Cannabis During Failed Attempts
Solution:
- Practice with tobacco or herb mix first
- Use less cannabis (0.3-0.5g) while learning
- Accept that failures are part of learning
- Save failed attempts cannabis for next try
Inside-Out vs Regular Rolling

Winner: Inside-out (subjective but widely agreed)
Burn Rate:
Inside-Out:
- Slower burn (less paper to burn through)
- More controlled session
- Lasts longer
Regular:
- Faster burn
- Standard session length
Winner: Inside-out
Difficulty:
Inside-Out:
- Advanced technique
- Higher failure rate
- Requires practice
Regular:
- Moderate difficulty
- More forgiving
- Easier to learn
Winner: Regular (for beginners)
Practicality:
Inside-Out:
- Takes longer
- More focus required
- Not ideal for quick sessions
Regular:
- Faster
- More convenient
- Good for any situation
Winner: Regular (for speed)
The Dutch Culture Connection
Inside-out rolling originated in the Netherlands (hence "Dutch roll") where cannabis culture emphasizes:
- Minimalism and efficiency
- Quality over quantity
- Mastery of technique
- Clean, flavorful smoking experience
In Amsterdam coffee shops: Inside-out rolling is common and expected among experienced smokers.
Cultural significance: Shows you know what you're doing, respect for craft
Best Papers for Inside-Out Rolling
Top Choices:
1. OCB Premium (Rice):
- Ultra-thin
- Gum line very visible
- Easy to see through
- Best for learning
2. Elements Ultra Thin:
- Rice paper
- Very thin
- Clear gum line visibility
- Professional choice
3. RAW Black (Thin Hemp):
- Thinner than regular RAW
- Works for inside-out
- Still forgiving
Avoid:
- Zig-Zag (too thick, can't see gum)
- Thick hemp papers
- Flavored papers (usually thicker)
Practice Progression
Week 1: Understanding the Flip
- Just practice flipping paper and visualizing the technique
- Do dry runs with no cannabis
- Get comfortable with upside-down orientation
Week 2: First Attempts with Tobacco
- Try with tobacco or herbal mix (cheaper than cannabis)
- Expect 90% failure rate
- Focus on seeing gum line through paper
Week 3: Refining Technique
- Success rate should hit 30-40%
- Start using cannabis
- Work on consistent tuck
Week 4+: Mastery
- Success rate 60-80%
- Faster rolling
- Clean tear-off of excess paper
Total practice joints needed: 30-50 attempts to get consistent
Advanced Tips
Tip 1: The Light Test
If you can't see the gum line, hold the joint up to a light source. The gum will show as a darker line through the paper.
Tip 2: Moisture Control
Too dry: Gum won't activate through paper
Too wet: Paper tears, joint falls apart
Just right: Gum activates, paper stays intact
Tip 3: Burn Don't Tear
When starting out, don't tear the excess paper. Just light the joint and let the excess burn off. Safer and easier.
Tip 4: Use Slightly Less Cannabis
Inside-out joints are harder to roll fat. Use 0.5-0.75g max while learning. Fat inside-out joints are expert-level.
Tip 5: Filter as Reference Point
The filter end is your anchor. Keep it tight and perfect - build the inside-out technique around a solid filter.
Showing Off Your Skills
Inside-out rolling is immediately recognizable to experienced smokers.
Signs of an inside-out joint:
- Minimal paper
- Clean appearance
- Torn edge where excess was removed
- Impressively thin
Social impact: Other smokers will notice and respect the technique. It's the joint-rolling equivalent of a skateboard trick.
Common Misconceptions
Myth: "Inside-out is just for showing off"
Reality: There are real benefits (taste, burn rate, less paper)
Myth: "You need special papers"
Reality: Any thin papers work, rice papers are just easier to see through
Myth: "It's impossible to learn"
Reality: Difficult but achievable with practice - most people can learn in 20-40 attempts
Myth: "Inside-out joints are stronger/more potent"
Reality: Same potency - just less paper, cleaner taste
When to Use Inside-Out Rolling
Best situations:
- Solo smoking (time to focus on technique)
- Impressing experienced smokers
- When you want maximum flavor
- Special occasions where quality > speed
Skip inside-out when:
- In a rush
- Smoking with beginners (they won't appreciate it)
- Windy conditions (harder to control)
- Using thick papers (won't work well)
Troubleshooting Guide
"I flipped the paper but now I'm confused"
Solution: Put it down. Look at it. The gum should be facing the table. If you can see the shiny gum strip looking down at the paper, it's WRONG - flip it over.
"I can't see any gum line through the paper"
Solutions:
1. Use thinner papers (rice)
2. Hold to light
3. Roll further - needs more overlap to see through
4. Check you didn't roll it backwards
"The joint fell apart when I licked it"
Cause: Too much saliva, paper too thin, not shaped tight enough
Solution:
- Use less saliva but apply more carefully
- Shape tighter before sealing
- Press immediately after licking
"Excess paper won't tear off cleanly"
This is normal! Most people just burn it off when lighting. Tearing cleanly takes practice.
Alternative: The "Semi-Inside-Out"
For those finding full inside-out too difficult:
Technique: Flip paper upside-down but use LESS excess paper. Roll just far enough for gum to reach, lick through, seal, but there's less excess to tear.
Benefit: Easier than full inside-out, still uses less paper than normal
Result: Still reduces paper by ~30-40% vs normal rolling
This guide is for educational purposes. Cannabis laws vary by jurisdiction.
Step 1: Flip paper upside down
Place rolling paper with gum strip facing DOWN toward you (opposite of normal). The sticky side should be touching the rolling surface. This is the key to inside-out rolling.
Step 2: Position filter and cannabis
Place filter at one end. Add ground cannabis along the paper just like normal rolling, but remember the gum is on the BOTTOM facing down.
Step 3: Roll and shape normally
Roll back and forth to shape the joint exactly as you would normally. The only difference is the paper orientation - everything else is the same.
Step 4: The critical tuck
Tuck the BOTTOM edge (non-gum side) under the cannabis and around. This is where inside-out differs - you're tucking the plain edge, not the gum edge.
Step 5: Roll to expose gum through paper
Continue rolling until the gum strip (which is facing down/away from you) shows through the paper from the INSIDE. You'll see a darker line through the paper where the gum is.
Step 6: Lick through the paper
This is the magic: Lick the OUTSIDE of the joint where you can see the gum line through the paper. Your saliva soaks through and activates the gum on the inside.
Step 7: Seal and hold
Press firmly where you licked to seal the gum (which is now stuck from the inside). Hold for 5-10 seconds to ensure it sticks.
Step 8: Tear off excess paper
The excess paper that rolled around the outside can now be torn off (or burned off when you light). This leaves minimal paper for cleaner taste.
Frequently Asked Questions
Inside-out rolling uses less paper (you tear off excess), resulting in cleaner cannabis taste, slower burn, and less harshness. It's also impressive to watch and shows rolling mastery.
