When it comes to enjoying cannabis, rolling methods are as diverse as the strains themselves. Whether you’re a rolling expert or just figuring out what works for you, understanding the difference between joints, blunts, and spliffs is key to elevating your experience. Let Hive Cannabis guide you through these three iconic styles.
Joints: The Classic Cannabis Staple
- What it is: A joint is a cannabis-only roll wrapped in thin, often translucent rolling papers made from hemp, rice, or wood pulp.
- What’s inside: Pure cannabis—no tobacco, no additives.
- The look: Slim and straightforward, usually with a crutch (filter) to keep things smooth and mess-free.
- Why people love it: Joints offer a clean and simple way to savour the full flavour of your strain without any distractions.
- Hive Tip: Don’t love rolling? Pre-rolls are the perfect solution—grab some at Hive Cannabis and skip the hassle!
Blunts: Bold, Slow-Burning, and Social
- What it is: A blunt is cannabis rolled in a tobacco leaf or similar wrap, creating a thicker roll with a longer burn time.
- What’s inside: Only cannabis, though the wrap itself can provide a touch of nicotine for an added kick.
- The look: Larger and denser than a joint, with a cigar-like feel.
- Why people love it: Perfect for sharing, blunts burn slowly and pair the richness of cannabis with the bold flavour of the wrap.
- Hive Tip: If you want the slow burn of a blunt without the tobacco, check out our tea-leaf or hemp-based blunt wraps.
Spliffs: A Balanced Blend
- What it is: Spliffs combine cannabis and tobacco in a single roll, offering a hybrid experience.
- What’s inside: A mix of ground cannabis and tobacco, rolled in a regular paper.
- The look: Similar to a joint but thinner, depending on the tobacco-to-cannabis ratio.
- Why people love it: Spliffs are a great choice for those seeking a lighter high and a quick energy boost. They’re particularly popular in Europe but growing in recognition here.
- Hive Tip: Not into tobacco? Experiment with herbal fillers like chamomile or lavender for a unique twist on your spliff.
