Although you can easily buy pre-packaged joints, nothing is yet to match the self-satisfaction gained by rolling your very first blunt. But this is obviously not a skill taught in school. Look no further! Here is the complete guide for how to roll a blunt.
First, check out this Map to see if Cannabis is legal in your region! If it’s not, we won’t tell.
Benefits of Cannabis
Cannabidiol (CBD) oil is a product that’s derived from cannabis. It’s a type of cannabinoid, which are the chemicals naturally found in marijuana plants. Even though it comes from marijuana plants, CBD doesn’t create a “high” effect or any form of intoxication — that’s caused by another cannabinoid, known as THC.
There’s some controversy around cannabis products like CBD oil because of recreational marijuana use. But there’s growing awareness about the possible health benefits of CBD oil. Here’s what you need to know about potential medical uses of CBD.
Here are some of the recorded benefits of CBD
- pain relief
- anxiety release
- reducing stress
- decreasing physiological effects of anxiety, such as an increased heart rate
- improving symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

What is a Blunt?
A blunt is a cigar that has been hollowed out and filled with cannabis. It is rolled with the tobacco-leaf “wrap”, usually from an inexpensive cigar. A blunt is different from a joint, which uses rolling papers
To craft your very own fine blunt, you need two key ingredients and a couple of tools. Obviously, you need some weed and ideally, you should break it down with a weed grinder. You’ll also need a cigar or cigarillo. And perhaps a sharp knife to cut it open with.
How to Roll a Blunt
Watch this video or follow the shitty directions.
STEP 1: SPLIT
First, you need to open up that cigar. Grab a small, sharp knife and split through the center from end to end. Make sure not to tear the cigar. Only split the top shelf of the tobacco leaf.
STEP 2: Remove
Gut the cigar. Remove all the tobacco innards to make room for your cannabis.
STEP 3: FILL
With plenty of room, pack that baby full. You’ll need at least 1g of cannabis, but 3g should give you a fat blunt. Make sure to spread it out nice and even. Now, let’s get creative. Add a little harsh, oil, or concentrate into the mix. A concentrated core is not the most efficient way to enjoy extracts, but definitely one of the tastiest.
STEP 4: LICK
This is the messy part. You need enough saliva to reseal it, but don’t want to slobber. Give both sides of the tobacco leaf a good lick. It doesn’t taste great. But we lick envelopes too. So who cares. It’s worth it.
STEP 5: ROLL
If you can tie some fishing line, you can roll a blunt. Just be gentle with the tobacco leaf. Flip, fold and you’re done.
STEP 6: SEAL
At this point, your blunt is held together by spit, not the best bond. Carefully run the flame of a lighter over the blunt. Keep the flame constantly moving to avoid over-burning. After a couple of minutes, you have a perfect sealed blunt, ready to enjoy!
Congrats! You rolled a fantastic blunt.
