Rolling a blunt is a right of passage for stoners. It\u2019s one thing to smoke out of a bong, but it\u2019s a whole other thing to roll up your own goods and go on a nice evening stroll. <\/span>That being said, rolling a blunt is easier said than done. There\u2019s a reason it\u2019s a right of passage!<\/span><\/p>\n

So let\u2019s get into it\u2014we\u2019ll discuss what a blunt is, how to roll one, and some common troubleshooting!<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a Blunt?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A blunt is simply cannabis rolled in tobacco leaf wrappers, also known as a blunt wrap. Not to be confused with a joint<\/a>, which is cannabis in rolling papers, or a spliff, which is both cannabis and tobacco in rolling papers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Blunts are a great on-the-go way to smoke cannabis–for example, you may enjoy one when you\u2019re going on a walk or hanging out with friends.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Blunts also feel similar to cigarettes in your hand, so if you\u2019re weaning off of smoking, that familiar feeling of holding something can help ease your transition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Roll a Blunt<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First, crack open the wrap and remove all of the tobacco. Then, fold your tobacco wrap in half horizontally. This will help keep the cannabis in the middle of your wrap when you\u2019re first getting the blunt going.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next, fold your filter. Make a small zig-zag fold on one end and then, starting on that end, roll it into a little tube. The zig-zag helps prevent cannabis from being sucked up when you hit the blunt and makes the filter more effective.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hold the wrap horizontally between your hands with your thumbs on one side and the rest between your fingers. The sticky seal should be on the top part of the wrap, facing you. Place the filter on the left side of the wrap.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Place the cannabis into the fold of the wrap, letting go of the wrap with one hand to do so. You\u2019ll get a feel for how much cannabis to use over time.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, you begin the rolling process. Move your hands closer to the fold in the middle that contains the cannabis. Slowly roll the cannabis up and down with your fingertips, working it towards the bottom of the wrap.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once the plant matter is all towards the bottom of the wrap, you\u2019re faced with the trickiest part. You need to get the left side of the wrap to roll behind the filter- but after that, it\u2019s mostly smooth sailing. This will take practice, but it\u2019s all about commitment.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once the wrap is caught behind the filter, continue to roll the blunt around the plant matter and eventually lick the sticky section and seal it. Congrats, you\u2019re almost done!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, hold your blunt vertically and tamp down the cannabis. Add a bit more and tamp it down again. After this, you can use a lighter to seal the edges and hold everything together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Last but not least, twist the top of the blunt into the well-known final step, and you\u2019re ready to go!<\/span><\/p>\n
