There are some marijuana situations that arise in this world that require a therapeutic level of THC. When you've got to get a lot of weed into your body quickly and don't have a bong, the only solution is a blunt. A blunt is a massive marijuana joint that is rolled in a cigar tobacco wrap. Thanks to hip hop culture the blunt has become one of the most popular ways to smoke weed. The sturdiness of the cigar allows it to hold large amounts of weed, while the tobacco adds a nice nicotine buzz to the marijuana high. The flavors of the weed and the tobacco blend together perfectly. By using a cigar paper the weed burns much slower than a joint and there is less waste. The only downside to smoking a blunt is that they are harder to roll than a joint or spliff.
The traditional method for rolling a blunt involves hallowing out a cigar, refilling it with weed and then attempting to seal it back up. This method is hard to get good results with and smoking the cigar can often be harsh. Cheap cigars are often blended with cardboard as they are not meant to be inhaled. Blunts are meant to be inhaled so this can create problems if you use the wrong cigar. The best way to avoid this is to use a tobacco leaf blunt wrap. These are large pieces of tobacco used for rolling cigars but they also make the perfect blunt wrap. You can find these at most smoke shops in a variety of different flavors. The only downside to using a blunt wrap is that the leaf is much thinner than a cigar and can tear if you're not careful. But it will still be much easier to roll, seal, and light than the traditional cigar method.
To roll the weed blunt with a tobacco leaf it first needs to be cut to the desired size. Some smoke shops will sell these wraps in a variety of sizes and it will be ready to use as is. You should start by finely breaking up a large amount of marijuana. Average size blunts will take anywhere from 2 to 5 grams of weed. But you can make this bigger or smaller depending on the size of the blunt wrap. The wrap should be folded like you would a joint and filled with an appropriate amount of pot. It's best to roll this type of blunt on a flat surface to avoid tears. Tuck the end closest to you under the opposite side and begin gently rolling up the blunt away from you. When there is a quarter inch left moisten both sides of the wrap with saliva and firmly press into place. You then need to use a lighter to dry any remaining moisture and complete the seal. Another option is to just throw it in the microwave for 10 seconds. Once dried this blunt is ready to smoke. It will take a few puffs like a cigar to get going and then it will roast with a nice slow burn. Using a tobacco wrap to roll your blunt will take a little more care, but in the end it will provide you with the perfect blunt.
