How to Roll a Joint in 5 Easy Steps

These days, cannabis products and accessories are available in a wide range of formats. For those looking to understand traditional flower preparation, it can be helpful to know the basic terms, materials, and product differences commonly associated with rolled flower formats.

Whether you’re new to cannabis terminology or reviewing the basics, this guide provides a general overview of joints, blunts, and spliffs, along with common materials often associated with rolled flower.

The Basics: Joints vs Blunts vs Spliffs

Let’s clear up some terminology. While many use the terms interchangeably, joints, blunts, and spliffs all have distinct differences:

• Joints: Rolled with cannabis only, using thin papers such as hemp or rice. Often includes a crutch or filter at the end.
  

• Spliffs: Similar to joints, but typically include tobacco. More common outside the U.S.
  

• Blunts: Rolled with thicker wraps or repurposed cigar-style wraps. Can hold more cannabis than joints and are commonly associated with larger rolled formats.
  
  

Here’s a general overview of rolled flower materials:

What You’ll Need for Rolled Flower

For general reference, 1¼ size rolling papers and around ½ gram of cannabis are commonly associated with smaller rolled flower formats.

• Rolling Papers

Papers are commonly selected based on size, burn rate, and material:

• • Hemp: Durable paper option
    
    

  • Rice: Thin paper option
    
    

  • Flavored: Some papers include added profile elements, but these may not comply with local regulations. Check before purchasing.
    

• Filter or Crutch
  Helps shape the rolled format and limits loose flower from reaching the end. Filters or crutches are commonly made from filter tips, business cards, or firm yet flexible paper.
  
  
  

• Grinder

An even grind can support airflow and product consistency. A four-piece grinder can also collect kief for separate storage.

• Cannabis Flower

Properly stored cannabis flower can help maintain its listed product profile. Check storage condition by gently pressing the flower; it should be slightly spongy, not crumbly.
