Firstly, I really enjoy the social aspect of smoking. I very rarely have a joint on my own but when you are passing a joint around a group of people it doesn’t last very long. If you rolled it, you would be very lucky indeed if it ever comes back to you!

This problem doesn’t happen so much with blunts. They are much slower burning so less gets wasted and more gets smoked! Due to the size of them people can’t hog them for too long, so you are more than likely to see that beauty you’ve rolled make its way back to you.

Secondly you can fit more weed in a blunt compared to a joint! Obviously more weed = more high! Some people would still mix their cannabis with tobacco when rolling a blunt, but I prefer the traditional method of smoking pure weed. (This is the major reason why I don’t smoke them all time; it can be quite costly!)

You can buy several different blunt wrappers online from plain ones to flavoured ones. My favourite ones at the moment are the Cyclones Xtra Slo. The tobacco leaves and tip are especially flavoursome and smoke like heaven. Blunts take a little time to get used to rolling, but these blunts are great ones to practice with.

A blunt is a joint made from a tobacco leaf wrapped around pure cannabis – a cannabis cigar. Blunts have become very popular in recent years, especially due to their
constant mention by gangster rappers in their lyrics. Blunts get their name
from Philly Blunts – an American brand of cigars. Smokers would take out
the inside of a regular cigar and replace it with marijuana. The word “blunt”
has now come to mean any tobacco wrap. Blunts are now sold as individual leaves
for you to make your own cigars. They come in many brands with many different
flavours to choose from.

The benefits of using blunts are:

a) they burn slower than joints so less is wasted and you can pass them round
more people

b) they hold more cannabis than a joint

c) you can extinguish and relight them as often as you want

d) they’re easy to carry around and they don’t look like illegal
drugs

e) many people report that they get a more intense high from blunts due to the
tobacco leaf reacting with the marijuana

Here’s how to roll a blunt from a pre-made cigar
like a Philly Blunt…

You will need:

• Philly Blunt
• Herb
• Grinder or scissors

Step-by-Step:
1. Lick your cigar and open it by cutting a straight line down the middle (from
   tip to butt) using a razor blade or just with fingers.
2. Take out the contents and the inner layer of leaf
   wrapping so that you are left with just the outer layer. Too much tobacco
   with your blunt can result in a harsh taste.
3. Tear off any excess so that you have a rectangular
   blunt wrap. Blunt wraps are delicate so be careful and don’t rush this.
   Any unwanted tears you make around the edge can usually be resealed with saliva.
4. Fold your blunt wrap in the same way as you might
   fold a rolling paper before you load it.

5. Spread your herb (make sure it is well-ground first)
   into your blunt wrap. Use plenty so that your blunt will stay firm.
6. You can also add a large roach if you like to avoid
   wasting any herb. Some strong card rolled into a tight spiral would be ideal.

7. Roll up your blunt wrap, remembering to keep the mouth
   end big enough for an easy toke.

8. When there is about half an inch left to roll, lick
   all the way down it and seal it up.

9. Use a lighter to dry your blunt by running it up and
   down for a few seconds. Alternatively, put it in the microwave for a few seconds.
   Doing this will make your blunt sturdier and easier to smoke.

10. Spark up, lay back and enjoy the ride.

You can also make blunts from blunt wraps sold individually:

The advantage of using individual blunt wraps is that you don’t have
to remove or waste any of the content – you only get what you need for
rolling. Individual blunt wraps look much like large rolling papers. They come
in all sorts of flavours. Some recommended ranges are EZ Roll Tubes and Platinum
Blunts.

You will need:

• Individual Blunt Wrap
• Herb
• Grinder or scissors

Step-by-Step:

1. Take a blunt wrap of your favourite flavour, or maybe a natural wrap.
2. Uncurl your blunt wrap then fold it in the same way as you might fold a
   rolling paper before you load it.

   

3. Make sure your mixture is well-ground. You can use a grinder for this or
   a pair of scissors. This will prevent any small sticks or lumps from tearing
   your blunt wrap.
   
4. Spread your herb (make sure it is well-ground first) into your blunt wrap.
   Use plenty so that your blunt will stay firm.

   

5. You can also add a large roach if you like to avoid wasting any herb. Some
   strong card rolled into a tight spiral would be ideal.

   

6. Roll up your blunt wrap, remembering to keep the mouth end big enough for
   an easy toke.

   

7. When there is about half an inch left to roll, lick all the way down it
   and seal it up.

   

8. Use a lighter to dry your blunt by running it up and down for a few seconds.
   Alternatively, put it in the microwave for a few seconds. Doing this will
   make your blunt sturdier and easier to smoke.
   
   
9. Spark up, sit back and enjoy the ride.
   

***Tip: Try using honey instead of saliva to seal your blunt wrap. This will
add a smooth sweet taste to your smoke.***

If you’re still in any doubt, take a lesson from rapper Redman:

“(Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww SHIT!!)

Yo, 1992 begins the new wave for the blunt rollers

Verse 1

Check out a new type of gimmick which is splendid

Since you’re down with other shit, let’s see if you’re down with this

It’s about… strictly trying to roll a blunt

When you get the hang of it, you’ll catch more blunts than Archie Bunk

First of all you get a fat bag of ism

From uptown, any local store sells the shit friend

Purchase a Philly, not the city of Philly

Silly punk, I’m talking ’bout the shit called the Philly blunt

Lick the blunt and then the Philly blunt middle you split

Don’t have a razor blade, use ya fuckin fingertips

Crack the bag and then you pour the whole bag in

Spread the ism around until the ism reach each end

Take your finger and your thumb from tip to tip

Roll it in a motion then the top piece you lick

Seal it, dry it wit ya lighter if ya gotta

The results, mmmmmmmm… proper

Chorus

That’s how you roll a blunt

That’s how you roll a blunt

That’s how you roll a blunt

Verse 2

The second paragraph might make you laugh

When a brotha rolls a blunt and his breath smells like gr-ass

That’s when you know you gotta take the blunt from him

Cuz his breath has the dragon in the dungeon

(Yo, yo, yo, light the blunt. Uh yo, here’s the lighter…)

I would if this shit would stop drippin’ wit saliva

And if you gonna lick it, don’t drown it with ya spit, shit

And how ’bout the non-blunt rollin’ females

That always fucks it up ‘cuz they don’t wanna break their Lee nails

(Hee hee hee hee hee, sorry Red for spilling it…)

<BEEEITCH> You better pickup every seed of it

Because I paid 10 bills for the get ill

And for spilling it you better get lost or get grilled

Verse 3

Last but not least, Redman would like to say peace

To all the blunt rollers from the Tri-State to the Middle East

And gimme a blunt when I kick the bucket

Devil or no devil when I am the wrong to be fucked with

So everybody put they blunt up in the air

Take a puff, blow the smoke out like ya just don’t care

So..(pump up the volume) ..so it’s heard thru the next block

I’m out, peace to Red Foxx, I’m off to the cess spot.

Outro
