Cara Menggulung Cross Joint: Tutorial Lengkap untuk Cross Weed Iconic

Sambungan silang (dipopulerkan oleh Nanas Express) adalah permata mahkota dari teknik bergulir - dua sambungan berpotongan pada 90 derajat, terbakar dari tiga titik secara bersamaan. Teknik tingkat ahli ini menantang tetapi sangat mengesankan.

jawaban cepat

Untuk menggulung sambungan silang: gulung satu sambungan utama yang tebal dan satu sambungan silang yang lebih tipis, buat lubang melalui bagian tengah sambungan tebal, masukkan sambungan tipis melalui lubang yang menciptakan bentuk silang, tutup persimpangan dengan potongan kertas gulung basah, uji aliran udara dari ketiga ujungnya, nyalakan ketiganya secara bersamaan. Membutuhkan total 1,5-2g ganja dan ahli keterampilan bergulir.

Apa itu cross joint?

Structure:

  • Satu sendi "utama" tebal (vertikal)
  • Satu sendi "silang" tipis (horizontal)
  • berpotongan pada sudut 90 derajat
  • Ketiga ujungnya terbakar secara bersamaan

dibuat terkenal: Film Nanas Express (Seth Rogen dan James Franco)

Difficulty: Tingkat Pakar - Membutuhkan dasar-dasar bergulir yang solid

Mengapa menggulung sambungan silang?

Reasons:

  • Teknik pamer pamungkas
  • Daya tarik visual yang mengesankan
  • Pengalaman merokok yang unik (tiga buah ceri)
  • Tantangan teknik
  • Acara/perayaan khusus

Tidak praktis: Sambungan silang adalah pemborosan, sulit, dan tidak praktis. Mereka untuk kesenangan dan tontonan, bukan efisiensi.

prasyarat

Sebelum mencoba, Anda harus dapat:

  • Gulung sambungan biasa dengan sempurna (90% + tingkat keberhasilan)
  • roll sambungan kerucut
  • Kemas sendi dengan kencang dan merata
  • Bekerja dengan hati-hati dengan kertas gulung

Jika Anda tidak bisa: Latih sendi reguler untuk minimum satu bulan lagi. Sambungan silang hanya akan membuat Anda frustrasi dan membuang ganja.

Bahan yang dibutuhkan

  • Kertas gulung ukuran raja (2-3 kertas)
  • Kertas 1¼ biasa (2 kertas)
  • Filter/Kruk (2)
  • Ganja tanah (total 1,5-2g)
  • Klip kertas atau alat poker
  • Kertas gulung ekstra untuk tambalan
  • Patience

Langkah-demi-langkah: Menggulung cross joint

Langkah 1: Gulung dua sambungan terpisah

sendi utama (vertikal):

  • Gunakan kertas ukuran raja
  • Gulung tebal dan kokoh
  • Paket 1-1.5g Ganja
  • Membuatnya Gemuk - Membutuhkan Integritas Struktural

Sambungan silang (horizontal):

  • Gunakan 1¼ kertas
  • Gulungan lebih tipis dari utama
  • Paket 0.5-0.75g
  • Harus masuk melalui lubang sambungan utama

Keduanya harus:

  • rapat
  • merata
  • Sepenuhnya disegel
  • Tidak ada bintik-bintik lunak

Langkah 2: Temukan titik pusat

Pada sambungan utama yang tebal:

  • mengukur untuk menemukan pusat yang tepat
  • Tandai dengan ringan dengan jari
  • Di sinilah cross joint akan berpotongan

Critical: titik pusat = bahkan terbakar di kedua sisi

Langkah 3: Mencubit lubang

Menggunakan penjepit kertas atau poker:

1. Sisipkan di titik pusat yang ditandai

2 . Dorong lurus ke sisi lain

3. Goyangkan untuk sedikit melebarkan lubang

4. Harus lebih lebar dari diameter sambungan silang

Be careful: Jangan sobek sendi, cukup buat lubang bersih

Langkah 4: Masukkan sambungan silang

Geser sendi tipis dengan hati-hati melalui lubang:

  • Dorong perlahan
  • Harus pas tapi tidak dipaksa
  • Panjang yang sama di kedua sisi
  • Sudut 90 derajat ke sendi utama

Check: Salib harus menonjol secara merata di kedua sisi

Langkah 5: Segel persimpangan

Ini kritis - prevents air leaks:

1. Robek potongan-potongan kecil kertas gulung (ukuran thumbnail)

2 .jilat mereka secara menyeluruh untuk membuat lengket

3. membungkus persimpangan di mana sendi bertemu

4. Tutupi semua celah antara sambungan utama dan sambungan silang

5. Tekan dengan kuat untuk menutup

Gunakan 3-4 lembar kertas wrapping from different angles

Langkah 6: Uji aliran udara

Sebelum menyalakan, tes draf dari ketiga ujungnya:

1. Gambar dari ujung sendi utama

2. Gambar dari ujung silang kiri

3. Gambar dari ujung kanan

Ketiganya harus menarik udara. Jika ada yang tersumbat, temukan dan tutup kebocoran dengan lebih banyak tambalan kertas.

Langkah 7: Nyalakan ketiga ujungnya

Bagian yang mengesankan:

Metode 1 (solo):

  • Tip utama ringan terlebih dahulu
  • Cepat nyalakan kedua ujung silang
  • Membutuhkan kecepatan dan koordinasi

Metode 2 (dengan teman-teman):

  • 2-3 orang masing-masing ringan satu ujungnya secara bersamaan
  • Lebih mudah dan lebih dapat diandalkan

Goal: Ketiga ceri terbakar sekaligus

Step 8: Smoke and Rotate

Smoking technique:

  • Draw from main joint only (don't smoke from cross ends)
  • Rotate to keep all three sides burning evenly
  • Watch the engineering in action

The cross ends burn down and feed smoke into the main joint

Common Cross Joint Problems

Problem: Cross Joint Falls Out of Hole

Cause: Hole too large, cross joint too thin

Solution: Make cross joint thicker, or use more sealing paper at intersection

Problem: Air Doesn't Flow

Cause: Intersection sealed too tight, blocking airflow

Solution: Poke small holes in sealing patches to allow airflow, or use less sealing paper

Problem: Joint Won't Stay Lit

Cause: Too loose, uneven packing, or air leaks

Solution: Pack both joints tighter before assembly, seal all gaps thoroughly

Problem: Uneven Burn (One Side Ahead)

Cause: Cross joint not centered, or one side packed tighter

Solution: Ensure cross joint is perfectly centered, pack evenly on both sides

How Much Weed Does It Use?

Total: 1.5-2.5 grams

Breakdown:

  • Main joint: 1-1.5g
  • Cross joint: 0.5-1g

For comparison:

  • Regular joint: 0.5-0.75g
  • Regular blunt: 1-2g

Cross joints use MORE cannabis and burn faster (three points of combustion)

Is It Wasteful?

Yes, very wasteful:

  • Burns from three points simultaneously
  • Cannabis burns faster than you can smoke
  • Much smoke escapes unused
  • Not efficient consumption

When to do it anyway: Special occasions, celebrations, showing off, fun engineering challenge

Variations

The Jesus Joint (Four-Way Cross)

Even more advanced:

  • Two cross joints intersecting the main joint
  • Creates 5 smoking points
  • Requires 3-4g cannabis
  • Extremely difficult

Only for true masters

The Braid Joint

Alternative impressive technique:

  • Three joints braided together
  • Different visual appeal
  • Somewhat easier than cross

Tips for Success

Tip 1: Perfect Your Regular Joints First

If you can't roll perfect regular joints 95% of the time, you're not ready for cross joints.

Tip 2: Make Main Joint THICC

The thick joint needs structural integrity to support the cross joint. Don't be shy with cannabis.

Tip 3: Seal Generously

Over-sealing is better than under-sealing. You can always remove excess patches, but air leaks ruin cross joints.

Tip 4: Test Before Lighting

ALWAYS test airflow from all ends before lighting. Finding problems after lighting = failed cross joint.

Tip 5: Accept Failures

Even experienced rollers fail 30-40% of cross joint attempts. It's part of the challenge.

Cultural Significance

Pineapple Express: Brought cross joints to mainstream consciousness

Seth Rogen: "It's the apex of the vortex of joint engineering"

Cannabis Community: Cross joints are respected rolling achievement

Symbol: Shows dedication to craft, engineering mindset, willingness to waste weed for art

This guide is for educational purposes. Cannabis laws vary by jurisdiction.

Step 1: Roll two joints

Step 1: Roll two joints - how-to-roll-cross-joint

Roll one thick main joint (king size paper, 1-1.5g) and one thinner cross joint (regular paper, 0.5g). Both should be firmly packed.

Step 2: Poke hole in main joint

Step 2: Poke hole in main joint - how-to-roll-cross-joint

Using a poker or paperclip, carefully poke a hole through the center of the thick joint, going completely through both sides.

Step 3: Insert cross joint

Step 3: Insert cross joint - how-to-roll-cross-joint

Carefully slide the thin joint through the hole in the thick joint. Should intersect at 90-degree angle forming a cross shape.

Step 4: Seal the intersection

Step 4: Seal the intersection - how-to-roll-cross-joint

Tear small pieces of rolling paper. Wet them and wrap around the intersection point where joints meet to seal any gaps and reinforce structure.

Step 5: Test airflow

Step 5: Test airflow - how-to-roll-cross-joint

Draw from main joint and both ends of cross joint to ensure all three ends pull air. Seal any leaks with more paper pieces.

Step 6: Light all three ends

Step 6: Light all three ends - how-to-roll-cross-joint

Light the main joint tip and both cross joint ends simultaneously. Requires 2-3 people or carefully balanced lighting technique.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, cross joints are expert-level. You need solid joint-rolling skills, steady hands, and patience. Expect several failed attempts when learning. Practice regular joints first.
