The Difference Between Joints, Blunts, and Spliffs Explained

The post-pandemic world has seen a lot of traction in the US cannabis industry. A lot of new users started using cannabis in the last two years to cope with the increasing stress and anxiety due to lockdowns and lay-offs.

The modern-day progressions and legalization efforts across states have enabled researchers and manufacturers to come up with a multitude of cannabis consumption ways. Some of them include smoking, vaping, edibles, dabs, etc.

While all the different ways of consuming cannabis are popular, inhaling it has always remained one of the most popular ones. From new cannabis users to seasoned connoisseurs, everyone likes the experience of taking a puff from a perfectly-created pre-roll.

However, when it comes to using pre-rolls, users are often confused about the differences between blunts, joints, and spliffs. All three of them look the same, which may be why users often get perplexed. If you’re also confused about the difference between a joint, blunt, and spliffs, you’ve landed at the right place.

In this blog, we will discuss how the three of these are different from each other, and if you can replace one from the other to enjoy a similar experience.

The Geographic Difference

The difference between blunts, joints, and spliffs is also evident when we look at geographical consumption. For instance, cannabis users in the United States are more inclined towards joints. Experts believe that it may have been due to the awareness regarding tobacco (which is present in spliffs and blunts).

On the other hand, users in the United Kingdom prefer opting for spliffs due to their longer smoking times. Here is a fun fact: blunts are only popular in the US and are often not found in other parts of the world!

Joints

When we think of cannabis, the first picture that comes to our mind is that of a joint. This is a conventional and among the most popular ways of consuming cannabis.

Joints are basically strains of cannabis rolled within a rolling paper built for this very purpose. You have a variety of rolling papers available on the market. These papers differ in type (rice, flax, hemp, etc.), flavor (cherry, grape, etc.), color, size, and thickness.

The thickness of a rolling paper is a significant parameter in defining your cannabis smoking experience. For instance, a thinner paper may have a very mild taste to it (which is good since it will not offset the actual aroma of your strain), but it will burn much faster than a thicker one and vice versa.

A filter is attached to the joint for the user to draw the smoke from. It also allows you to keep your fingers from burning when the joint is about to end. You can try out different combinations of these to find and amplify your experience with a joint.

Spliffs

When it comes to rolling papers, both joints and spliffs use the same. You have a variety to choose from based on the kind of experience you’re looking for and what suits you best. The key difference between a joint and a spliff is that the latter also has some tobacco content in it.

The presence of tobacco contributes to an energized and uplifted feeling, which is often why some common users prefer opting for a spliff instead of a joint. A liberty that spliff users have is that they can set the mixture of tobacco and cannabis-based on their own preferences.

Blunts

You can think of a blunt as cannabis inside a cigar. A blunt wrap or cigar contains a roll with cannabis inside of it, making that cigar a blunt. Similar to a spliff, blunts also have a strong hit since their wraps are made up of tobacco itself.

The best part about blunts, and probably the reason why users switch to blunts, is that it is longer than a spliff or a roll. A greater length translates into more smoking time, that too with the added hit from tobacco. Some users also cut open a cigar and insert a cannabis roll inside to enjoy the experience of a blunt.
