Blunt (cannabis)
Blunt (cannabis)
A blunt is a type of cigar that has been hollowed out and filled with cannabis. Named for the popular brand of cigars, Phillies Blunt, the term has come to refer to any inexpensive cigar or cigarillo that is used for this purpose.
History
The practice of smoking cannabis in a blunt has its roots in the Caribbean, where cannabis was often smoked in cigar wraps. This tradition was brought to the United States by immigrants, and it gained popularity in the late 20th century, particularly in urban and hip-hop cultures.
Preparation and Use
To prepare a blunt, the tobacco inside a cigar or cigarillo is removed and replaced with ground cannabis. The outer leaf or paper wrap of the cigar is then resealed, often with saliva or water. The blunt can then be smoked in a manner similar to a traditional cigar.
Blunts are often larger and contain more cannabis than joints or spliffs, leading to a longer smoking session. They also have a unique flavor profile due to the tobacco leaf wrap, which is often sweetened.
Health Effects
While the health effects of cannabis use are still under study, it is known that smoking blunts can expose the user to additional risks due to the tobacco in the cigar wrap. These risks include nicotine addiction and exposure to harmful chemicals produced by tobacco combustion.
Cultural Significance
Blunts have a significant presence in hip-hop culture, with numerous references in music and media. They are often associated with social smoking sessions, as their size and burn time allow for extended use.
Legal Status
The legal status of blunts is tied to the legal status of cannabis. In jurisdictions where cannabis is illegal, possession of a blunt can lead to criminal charges. In places where cannabis is legal, blunts may be legally purchased and used, though restrictions on public use typically apply.
