What is a Marijuana Blunt?

Blunts are cigars filled with marijuana instead of tobacco. The term came from the American cigar brand Phillies Blunt. Weed consumers used to empty the cigars and fill them in with cannabis. At first, this practice was used in New York and Philadelphia as a way to smoke marijuana covertly. It really looked like a person smoking an ordinary cigar from the outside.

What are blunts made of? Blunts contain only marijuana but are wrapped in tobacco paper. Due to the size of the paper, these cigars become pretty extensive and contain high amounts of marijuana. The combination of weed and tobacco paper increases the high at times. One blunt is impossible to smoke at a time due to the strength of the effects.

What Is the Difference between Blunt, Joint, and Spliff?

Joint (pre-roll)

• Is a small roll.
• Consisting only of cannabis and rolling paper.
• Consumers only experience effects from weed.
• Since the joints are small, this allows the consumer to use a small amount of kush at a time.
• Usually, paper made from hemp or rice is used for the joint. It can also be plain or with different flavors.

Spliff

• It's a roll made up of tobacco, cannabis, and rolling paper.
• It is more common in Europe.
• The paper used is the same as in the pre-rolls.
• Since the combination of weed and tobacco can cause strong effects, these rolls are suitable for a small company.

Blunt Specifics

How much weed is in a blunt? At least 2 grams, or even more. Tobacco paper is quite thick and requires a lot of weed. The strength of marijuana depends only on the strain you choose. The same thing happens with paper because the potency and quality of tobacco depend on the brand.

Do blunts have nicotine? Definitely, yes. It's all about tobacco paper, which contains nicotine. When consumers smoke a cigar, nicotine begins to release.

What taste do these cigars have? It's up to you. Your choice of marijuana strain and tobacco paper (which will make it taste a bit sweeter) can either taste good or bad.

How much does a blunt cost in dispensaries? Despite the blunt being very difficult to roll, it is easier to buy tobacco paper. The fact is that blunts in dispensaries are not so common. Their prices start at $15 each. You can choose the strain and the appropriate brand of rolling paper yourself. Leaves will cost you less than $5 each.

The fun fact is that the most expensive blunt in the world costs over $50,000. That is a full ounce of high-quality cannabis. The wrapper is 24-carat gold. The blunt itself is adorned with 98% THC crystals that melt when smoked.

Why Should You Try Smoking a Blunt?

If you're looking for the ultimate high, blunts can help you get there. Even the heaviest smokers can fully satisfy their desires. In addition, the use of a leaf of tobacco creates such an effect as if you had just drunk a cup of strong coffee.

How to Smoke a Blunt Step by Step

The first question we need to answer is: how to roll blunts?

It is the most challenging step of all. If you do not want to suffer, then buy a pre-roll.

1. Grind the weed in the grinder or by hand. It doesn't have to be a powder, but make sure there aren't any large pieces left.
2. Cut the tobacco paper with scissors or a knife. Then put it on the table, and moisten the sheet from the inside. That is the side where you will put the marijuana. Use your finger and water, and if you roll it for yourself, you may even use saliva.
3. Gently spread the weed over the wrapper. Make sure the marijuana is evenly distributed along one line.
4. Twist the blunt. It would be best if you got a cone-shaped roll. To achieve this, hold one end of the blunt tighter.
5. Seal the bundle to secure its position. To do this, moisten the edge of the wrapper with your finger.
6. Final move - run the lighter along the blunt. Don't let the fire touch the wrapper. This step is designed to remove excess moisture that usually prevents you from smoking your cigar.

Everything is ready for smoking! Light the blunt on the larger side and inhale.

Usually, smokers only need a few tokes to get a strong high.

The biggest part of the weed blunt remains. You can just put it out. There are two ways how to do that:

• Wet your finger and place it on the glowing end of the cigarette. Please do not overdo it with moisture; otherwise, you can ruin the paper. This method may not seem very pleasant, but there is an alternative.
• Use pre-roll. Place the remaining blunt into the pre-roll tube and close the lid tightly. Thus, the fire will immediately go out, and the cigarette will be waiting for you until the subsequent use.

How to Store Marijuana Blunts?

Use an airtight container. Make sure to store the joint in a dark, cool place. Avoid too hot or too cold temperatures. And keep an eye on the humidity inside the container. Moisture can completely kill your blunt.

Some Precautions Before Smoking a Cannabis Blunt

Before buying and smoking a blunt, remember that one blunt equals six ordinary joints in terms of power.

Cigar wrappers are highly toxic. The paper is very thick and burns for a long time, allowing more toxins to be released. Using marijuana blunts is definitely not suitable for those who need it for medical purposes.

And finally, remember that any smoke is toxic. While smoking marijuana, a person must inhale and retain cannabis smoke for a longer time, with its own toxins. So it is always better to consume wisely.

Alternatives to Conventional Blunts

• Rose petal blunt. It enhances the grassy taste of the cigar. To try this type, you need to dry the rose petals a little. The color of the blunt may depend on which rose flowers you choose. This method is considered more elegant than the usual one. It is also a more organic and safer way to smoke blunts, as the ingredients and chemical processing of tobacco paper make cigars the least secure way to consume marijuana.
• Glass blunts. This is a reusable, user-friendly marijuana smoking device. The glass blunts are easy to clean, and the spirals make the user experience the fullness of the cannabis taste. It is also one of the healthier ways to consume marijuana.

Conclusion

Blunt is the most explosive way to consume marijuana. That is how you can achieve the most potent high quickly. Even though this method is quite common, you should not abuse such cigars. Nicotine can be addictive and permanently chain you to these kinds of products. However, this should not stop you from getting new experiences. Research, experiment and try alternatives to find the product that works best for you.
