Blunt (marijuana cigar)

Blunt is a slang term for cannabis rolled with the tobacco-leaf "wrapper" from an inexpensive cigar called a blunt. Blunts take their name from Phillies Blunt brand cigars, although any commonly available inexpensive cigar or cigarillo is likely to be used by cannabis users, due to suitability and availability. Another common term for a blunt is an "LP" or "L", a reference to the El Producto brand."Erowid Cannabis Vault".

Uses

There are several methods to rolling a blunt. The concepts, however, remain the same throughout each method. Most methods require...

Splitting the cigarillo
Removing all of the inner tobacco or "guts"
Grinding down the marijuana
Picking out any seeds or stems
Rolling up about a half gram or so of marijuana into the tobacco leaf paper
Using one's thumb to create a tight roll from one end to the other without creases
Applying saliva to seal up paper
Drying by grazing a lighter back and forth or air drying
Lighting the blunt with a source of fire such as a lighter or matches
Taking a few puffs to get the constant lit end going
