Joints, Blunts, and Spliffs: What’s the Difference?

Cannabis culture is full of choices, and knowing your way around rolling methods can elevate your experience. Whether you’re rolling up for the first time or refining your style, understanding the differences between joints, blunts, and spliffs is key. Let’s break it down, Opal Cannabis style.

The Joint: Simple and Classic

The joint is a timeless favourite in the cannabis world.

• What it is: A cannabis cigarette rolled with thin, lightweight papers made from hemp, rice, or wood pulp.
• The fill: 100% cannabis, with no additives or tobacco.
• The vibe: Slim, discreet, and portable—perfect for on-the-go or solo sessions.
• Why it’s loved: Joints offer a pure cannabis experience, letting the unique flavours and terpenes of your strain shine through.

Pro Tip: For convenience, try pre-rolls from Opal Cannabis, expertly crafted for a smooth, even burn.

The Blunt: Bold and Social

Looking to make a statement? Reach for a blunt.

• What it is: A roll made with a tobacco leaf wrap, giving it a cigar-like feel and a thicker texture.
• The fill: Just cannabis, but the tobacco wrap adds a slight nicotine buzz.
• The vibe: Larger and slower-burning, making it perfect for group settings or extended sessions.
• Why it’s loved: The tobacco leaf introduces a distinct, smoky flavour and a relaxed buzz, ideal for unwinding with friends.

Heads Up: The tobacco in blunts isn’t for everyone. If you prefer nicotine-free options, joints or spliffs might be a better fit. We carry non-tobacco, nicotine free, tea leaf wrapped blunts.

The Spliff: A Balanced Blend

If variety is the spice of life, spliffs are your go-to.

• What it is: A mix of cannabis and tobacco, rolled together in standard rolling papers.
• The fill: A customizable blend of cannabis and tobacco, with the ratio tailored to your preference.
• The vibe: Smooth and balanced, offering a lighter high with an energizing kick from the tobacco.
• Why it’s loved: Spliffs are versatile and great for those who enjoy the social aspects of tobacco without committing to a full blunt.

Pro Tip: Not a tobacco fan? Substitute with herbal fillers like lavender for a unique twist. Pick up your rolling papers and flower at Opal.
