Joints, Blunts, and Spliffs: Which Roll Is Right for You?

When it comes to cannabis, there’s more than one way to roll up. Whether you’re a seasoned smoker or new to the scene, terms like joints, blunts, and spliffs can sometimes be confusing. So, what’s the difference? Let’s break it down.

1. Joints

The classic go-to for cannabis enthusiasts.

What it is: A joint is a cannabis cigarette rolled with thin, often translucent rolling papers made from materials like hemp, rice, or wood pulp.
What’s inside: Only cannabis—no tobacco or additives.
Appearance: Slim and cylindrical, typically with a filter or "crutch" at one end to keep the smoke smooth and your fingers clean.
Why people love it: Joints are pure cannabis, making them a favourite for those who want the unadulterated taste of their strain.

Pro Tip: Look for pre-rolls at Clarity Cannabis if rolling isn’t your thing.

2. Blunts

A bolder way to enjoy cannabis.

What it is: A blunt is cannabis rolled in a tobacco leaf wrap, giving it a thicker texture and a darker colour.
What’s inside: Just cannabis, though the tobacco wrap adds a subtle nicotine buzz.
Appearance: Larger than a joint, with a cigar-like look and feel.
Why people love it: Blunts burn slower, making them great for sharing in a group. The tobacco wrap adds a unique flavour and an extra kick.

Pro Tip: Be mindful of the nicotine content—if you prefer to skip tobacco, stick to joints or spliffs. We carry non-tobacco, nicotine free, tea leaf wrapped blunts.

3. Spliffs

The best of both worlds.

What it is: A spliff combines cannabis and tobacco, rolled in regular rolling papers.
What’s inside: A mix of cannabis and tobacco, usually at a ratio of your choice.
Appearance: Similar to a joint but often slightly thinner, depending on the amount of tobacco used.
Why people love it: Spliffs offer a more balanced experience with less intense effects than a pure cannabis joint. The tobacco provides an extra energy boost, which some enjoy.

Pro Tip: Spliffs are popular in Europe but less common in North America, so if you’re new to them, start with a small amount of tobacco. Pick up your rolling papers and flower at Clarity Cannabis!

Which One Should You Choose?

It all depends on your preferences and the experience you’re looking for:

Go for a joint if you want pure cannabis with clean, unaltered effects.
Choose a blunt if you’re looking for a slow burn.
Try a spliff if you like a balanced mix of tobacco and cannabis.
