What Are Blunts & How Are They Different From Joints

If you’re a cannabis connoisseur, you’re likely familiar with the OG classic that is the blunt. With its own unique culture, blunts have been a favorite among marijuana enthusiasts for decades. However, if you’re new to the scene, you may be wondering “what is a blunt?”. In this guide, we’ll dive deep into everything you need to know about blunts, blunt wraps, and the differences between blunts, joints, and spliffs.

What is a Blunt?

A blunt is a marijuana roll made with hemp wraps or tobacco wrappers. Traditional blunts were smoked by hollowing out little cigars or cigarillos and replacing the tobacco content with crushed cannabis. The origins of blunts can be traced back to the mid-1800s when cannabis enthusiasts had to get creative with how they smoked due to the lack of modern smoking tools like pipes or bongs.

Why is it Called a Blunt?

Blunts got their name from the late 19th century when companies started producing rolled cigars with a rounded, broad tip called blunt cigars. Today, a blunt refers to marijuana rolled inside tobacco paper, a hollowed-out cigar, or hemp wrap. If you’re purchasing a blunt from a licensed dispensary, it will likely be wrapped in hemp paper to comply with regulations.

What is a Blunt Wrap?

Choosing the right wrap is crucial for a great blunt experience. A blunt wrap refers to the wrapping material used to make a marijuana blunt. These can be made from multiple tobacco leaves, herbal blends, flavored paper, or hemp. Glass blunts are reusable smoking devices that mimic the traditional blunt-smoking experience.

Do Blunts Have Nicotine?

The nicotine in “traditional” blunts comes from the wrapping material, mostly cigar leaves. If you purchase blunts from a dispensary, they will not contain nicotine as they are wrapped in hemp leaves or non-tobacco wraps.

Blunts vs Joints vs Spliffs: What’s the Difference?

Blunts differ from joints in that they are larger, burn slower, and hold more cannabis, making them more potent. Joints are rolled in light rolling papers made from hemp, rice, wood pulp, or flax. Spliffs, on the other hand, contain a mix of marijuana and tobacco, while blunts may or may not contain tobacco depending on the wrap.
