A blunt is like a cigar, but it’s emptied and filled with cannabis, which is also known as weed. It’s kind of like a cigar made from weed. The idea of using cigar wraps for things other than tobacco started long ago. Regular cigars, filled with tobacco, were first made in Philadelphia a really long time ago, like in the 1800s.

When cigars were first made, they were pretty different from the regular cigars we know today. They were thinner, shorter, and meant to burn faster.

Later, around the 1980s, people began to put weed in these emptied cigars, and that became popular. Some people say the first weed-filled cigar, or blunt, was made and smoked in New York City around that time, but we can’t be sure because there’s no proof.

During that time, hip-hop music was becoming really popular, and they talked about blunts in their songs and lyrics.

Nowadays, everyone knows what blunts are, especially in the cannabis community. People even make special wraps, like tobacco leaf wrappers, to roll their blunts. Some folks even use a specific kind of tobacco leaf called fronto leaf that’s flavored like chocolate.

If you don’t know about weed blunts, don’t worry. By the time you finish reading this, you’ll know what a blunt is, how much it can hold, and how it’s different from joints and spliffs.

Difference Between Joint and Blunt: Blunt vs Joint

Joint vs Blunt: A joint and a blunt are alike because they both have weed in them. However, they’re put together in different ways. A blunt is made by rolling up ground weed in a hollowed-out cigar or a special wrap. On the other hand, a joint is made by wrapping ground weed in thin paper.

Blunts are bigger and can hold more crushed weed compared to regular-sized joint paper. When you smoke them, they feel different because of the tobacco in a blunt and the thicker smoke it makes.

A spliff is kind of similar to a blunt because it also has tobacco. But still, spliffs and blunts aren’t exactly the same. In a blunt, you roll up ground weed in a tobacco leaf or wrap. In a spliff, you mix crushed weed and tobacco and wrap it in thin paper.

Spliffs and joints are usually smaller, more like the size of a regular joint, not as big as a blunt. They might taste and feel somewhat similar because of the tobacco, but in a blunt, the tobacco taste is stronger.

How Much Weed is in a Blunt

Big blunts are really popular because they can hold a lot of weed, which makes them great for sharing. The amount of weed a blunt can hold depends on how big the cigar is. People have been creative in packing blunts with weed.

A thin blunt can hold about 1 to 2 grams of weed. Just so you know, a regular joint usually holds 0.5 to 1 gram of weed. A slightly bigger blunt, like a cigarillo-sized one, can hold around 4 to 5 grams of weed. If it’s a big blunt made with a tobacco wrap, it can hold up to 7 grams of weed, depending on how it’s rolled. If you want even more weed, you can use a tobacco leaf called a fronto leaf. With this leaf, the amount of weed you put in depends on the size of the leaf and how well you roll.

How Long Does It Take To Smoke A Blunt

The time it takes to smoke a blunt varies based on how big it is and how many people are sharing it. A regular large joint takes 10 to 15 minutes to smoke. So, a big blunt might take anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes or more to smoke, depending on how much weed is in it and how tight it’s rolled.

Because blunts are big, they’re perfect for sharing in a group. They can hold a lot of weed and are easy to pass around. Blunt wraps burn slower because they’re thicker, similar to regular cigars.
