Let’s be honest: when it comes to smoking weed, there’s always that age-old debate—blunt or joint? They might seem similar at first glance (both rolled, both smokeable, both get you high), but the vibes are totally different.

So whether you’re a wake-and-baker, a weekend warrior, or just trying to not cough up a lung on your first try, we’re breaking it all down for you—Gen Z style.

💨 What Even Is a Joint?

Think of a joint as the OG minimalist. It’s weed, rolled up in a thin paper (usually made from rice, hemp, or something similarly crunchy-granola), with a little filter at the end so your fingers don’t smell like a dispensary all day.

🔍 Joint Basics:

• What’s inside: Just weed. No extra fluff.

• What it’s rolled with: Lightweight papers—flavorless and fast-burning.

• Why people love it: Pure taste, easy to roll (once you get the hang of it), and no tobacco.

✅ Joint Vibes:

• You’re here for the flavor of the strain, not extra buzz.

• You want a clean, fast high.

• You’re rolling solo or keeping it chill with a couple friends.

❌ Not the Move If:

• You want something that lasts more than a few minutes.

• You’re bad at rolling (hey, no shade—practice makes perfect).

🔥 So What’s a Blunt, Then?

A blunt is the big sibling with attitude. It’s cannabis wrapped in a tobacco leaf or a cigar-style wrap, which adds nicotine into the mix. It burns longer, hits harder, and gives you that classic “we’re not making it to brunch” kind of high.

🔍 Blunt Basics:

• What’s inside: Weed + a little bit of tobacco from the wrap.

• What it’s rolled with: Usually a cigarillo shell or a blunt wrap.

• Why people love it: Slower burn, heavy-hitting, major vibes.

✅ Blunt Vibes:

• You want to feel it in your soul.

• You’re with a group and plan to pass it like a peace treaty.

• You don’t mind a little nicotine in your sesh.

❌ Not the Move If:

• You’re trying to avoid tobacco.

• You’ve got sensitive lungs or a baby tolerance.

• You like tasting the full flavor of your flower.
