If you\u2019ve finally mastered the art of twisting joints, you\u2019ll probably want to move on to more advanced rolling techniques. And nothing demonstrates a toker\u2019s devotion to the cause more than a perfectly crafted blunt. (Actually, getting arrested while campaigning for cannabis is probably the best demonstration, but let\u2019s assume most of us can\u2019t afford to do that.)<\/p>\n
Blunts are \u201cweed cigars\u201d made by rolling up cannabis flower with cigar wraps. They\u2019ve been around for a long time, but they became incredibly popular in the \u201890s after rappers like Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre made them marijuana mainstays in their lyrics. <\/p>\n
Why smoke a blunt when a plain ol\u2019 joint would suffice? Blunts are usually bigger than joints, which means you can stuff a lot more weed in one than you could a mere \u201cmarijuana cigarette.\u201d And since cigar wraps are made with tobacco, they contain nicotine. Although nicotine can be addictive, it also constricts the blood vessels, which increases blood pressure. And some folks swear that the slight uptick in blood pressure makes the weed hit just a little bit faster and harder than it would otherwise.<\/p>\n
