Blunt vs. Joint vs Spliff: What’s The Difference?

The world of hemp consumption is vast and varied, and there are many different ways to enjoy this plant. One of the most popular methods of consumption is through smoking, and within this category there are a few different types of hemp-infused smokes such as spliffs, blunts, and joints. While these three terms are often used interchangeably, there are actually some important differences between them.

A spliff is a type of cigarette that is typically rolled with a mixture of tobacco and hemp flower. The ratio of these two ingredients can vary, with some spliffs containing more tobacco and others containing more hemp. The use of tobacco in a spliff is said to enhance the effects of the hemp, making for a more relaxing and enjoyable experience. Spliffs are most commonly found in Europe, South America and Africa, where the combination of hemp and tobacco is a traditional and well-established practice.

On the other hand, a joint is a hemp-only cigarette, with no tobacco included. Joints are typically rolled with rolling papers, and the hemp is packed into the center of the paper in a cylindrical shape. Joints are one of the most popular ways of consuming hemp, especially in North America and some parts of Europe. They are a simple and classic way to enjoy the plant, and they are easy to roll and share with others.

A blunt is a type of hemp cigar, made by removing the tobacco from a cigar wrapper and replacing it with hemp. The wrapper is then rolled back up, with the hemp in the center, creating a large and potent smoke. Blunts are often associated with a more hardcore and serious hemp culture, as they are larger and more potent than joints or spliffs. They also tend to burn longer and create a more intense and sustained high.

While spliffs, joints, and blunts are all types of hemp-infused smokes, they are different in several ways. Spliffs contain a mixture of tobacco and hemp, joints are hemp only and blunts are hemp cigars. Each of them has its own unique characteristics and effects and which one you choose to consume will depend on your personal preference.

Another factor to consider is the legal status of hemp in your area, in countries where hemp is legal, you can purchase pre-rolls, pre-rolled joints, blunts and other formats, but in countries where hemp is not legal, you may need to roll your own.

In conclusion, Spliffs, joints, and blunts are all popular ways of consuming hemp, each with their own unique characteristics. Spliffs are a mix of hemp and tobacco, joints are hemp-only, and blunts are hemp cigars. Ultimately, the decision of which type of smoke to use is a personal one and should be based on your own preferences and the legal status of hemp in your area.
