The main differences between blunts, joints, and spliffs are the materials used to roll them and the contents they contain. Here's a comparison of the three:

  • Joint:
  • Contains only cannabis.
  • Rolled with a rolling paper, usually made from materials like rice paper, hemp, or rose petals.
  • Easy to roll and transport.
  • Burns more quickly than blunts due to the thinner rolling paper.
  • Spliff:
  • Contains a mixture of cannabis and tobacco.
  • Rolled with a rolling paper, like a joint.
  • Provides a more energetic high due to the added nicotine from the tobacco.
  • Smokers can adjust the ratio of cannabis and tobacco to their preference.
  • Blunt:
  • Contains only cannabis, but the wrap is made of tobacco.
  • Rolled with a wrap, made from tobacco leaves, which adds a buzz and energy to the cannabis high.
  • Typically larger and lasts longer than joints and spliffs.
  • Provides a slower, more steady burn for a longer period of time.

The choice between a joint, spliff, or blunt depends on personal preferences, such as the type of high desired and the materials used for rolling. Joints are the healthier option, while spliffs can be more economical by using less cannabis. Blunts, on the other hand, offer a longer-lasting smoke with added energy from the tobacco wrap.

  • Blunt: Contains cannabis and tobacco, and is wrapped in cigar or tobacco leaf papers. Blunts are larger than joints and spliffs, making them easier to share and suitable for social settings. Blunts can pack more cannabis than joints, making them a better choice for sharing.
