HOW
TO ROLL A BLUNT WHAT
ARE BLUNTS? The
name, "Blunts," is a street name used to describe a marijuana
and tobacco cigar. Other street names include "el-pees" (LP's),
According to one source, blunts originated among Jamaicans in New York
City in the early 1980's. Blunts take their name from "Phillies
Blunt" brand cigars, although other brands of similar make (such as
El Producto, White Owl, and Dutch Masters) are also used for this purpose.
Tobacco is removed from the inside of the cigar, and replaced with
marijuana. BLUNTS
VS. JOINTS Smoking
marijuana inside the leaf or paper wrapper of a cigar offers several
advantages to the user: -The tobacco wrapper slows down the burning rate
of the joint. This allows a greater number of users to share the same
joint. -A blunt holds more marijuana than a joint, and is convenient to
use and store. A single user can smoke it, extinguish it, and easily
relight it. "That's what's so cool about a blunt. Just put it out. It
fits nicely in the top pocket." -It looks like a legal drug. Even
though it is illegal for adolescents to use tobacco products, blunts
appear to be commercial tobacco cigars. Policemen, teachers, and parents
who ignore cigarette possession in minors are likely to ignore blunts as
well. HOW
