How To Split A Blunt The Most Efficient Way

Byking_adm on January 11, 2021

Most people know what it’s like to smoke a blunt that hasn’t been rolled properly. It burns unevenly, falls apart, and is not a pleasant experience. Learning how to split a blunt is a skill that will have everyone around you that’s also smoking the blunt you just rolled, wondering how you became so good at it. A properly rolled blunt will burn perfectly down to the last drag. 

Rolling a good blunt takes time and patience. Just like many other skills in life, if you put the work and practice in, you’ll reap the benefits. Once you begin to get the hang of it, you’ll start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel (and the end of the blunt) and begin to enjoy the work that you’ve put in while enjoying perfectly rolled joints. 

How To Roll The Best Blunt

There’s a wide range of different blunt wraps available on the market. Some of them are much simpler to handle and roll, while others can be more difficult. Swishers are commonly used because they are known to be easy to split and roll.

For the newcomer blunt rollers out there, going with swishers is probably what you want to start with. Once you start getting good at it, you should probably be able to roll good ones within two minutes or less.

Steps To Rolling A Blunt

There’s a couple of different steps in the blunt rolling process:

• Grab your blunt wrap and then gut it.
• Gather your cannabis and then fill the blunt wrap with it.
• Tuck the blunt right over the cannabis.
• Lick the wrap, roll it up and then, light it up!

There’s a couple of things you’ll need before you start rolling:

• Blunt wrap.
• Cannabis.
• A blunt splitter isn’t absolutely necessary, but it’s highly recommended.
• A rolling tray also isn’t required, but it saves the mess.
• Some might wonder if you need a grinder when you’re rolling a blunt. You don’t typically need one when it comes to blunts. Many like to bust up their cannabis manually by hand when packing blunts, but if you’re rolling a joint on the other hand, having a grinder is necessary.

Let’s dive into the steps with a little more detail.

Step 1 – Gut The Blunt Wrap

The first step is probably the most important one in the entire blunt rolling process, so pay careful attention to this one.

If you don’t have an empty cigar wrap, you’ll have to gut your blunt. Some people like to smoke a blunt with tobacco in it, but for newcomers to cannabis, it can sometimes be quite nasty.

Going off track for a second, there was once a stoner that was trying to get very high. They had a big blunt in their left hand with another strain of weed in their right hand. In a nutshell, their blunt was ruined because it wasn’t gutted properly. Even though the stoner was already high as a kit as it is, they still couldn’t believe that they couldn’t split the blunt. This stoner handed the blunt to their friend who had a splitter handy. In a matter of seconds, the blunt was perfectly split. 

The conclusion to this story is that blunt splitters are very beneficial. If you want the best blunt possible, the contents that are in the blunt wrap need to be removed. Blunt splitters are perfect for doing this.

What Is A Blunt Splitter?

A blunt splitter is basically just a small device that you can keep handy in your pocket or even on a keychain. They are extremely simple to use, and all you do is just slide the blunt through it and it will create a perfect split.

Forget about using knives, blunt splitters are way more reliable and you don’t have to tinker around trying your best to split the blunt evenly. They’re only around $5, and that $5 will relieve a tremendous amount of stress that’s caused by trying to split a blunt without a proper blunt splitter.

If you don’t have a blunt splitter and still want to use a knife, the best knife to use is a box cutter-style knife.

Ensure that the blunt is split evenly right down the center. The split should be as straight as possible, and again, a blunt splitter will make it as straight as possible. However, if you’re using a knife, you’ll have to exercise some manual dexterity.

Some stoners even try splitting blunts with their nails. While this isn’t the best method, it still works if you don’t have a knife or blunt splitter handy.

You’ll want to split the blunt slowly if you decide to use your thumbs. Rolling a blunt properly is something that takes patience, and going quickly will just wreck the blunt completely.

After you’ve successfully split your blunt, wipe out the excess tobacco that’s inside of it because that extra substance will no longer be required for the additional steps. 

Step 2 – Preparation Of Cannabis

After the blunt is split and all of the tobacco has been removed, add the weed and start smoking. Just kidding, but that would be perfect if it was that easy!

The following step is to gather your cannabis. Some blunt rollers like to grind up the cannabis before placing it in the blunt, but breaking it up by hand seems to work best. Why, might you ask? Because blunts are rolled in tobacco, the wrap is thicker and the overall burn will take longer to go through. So, if the cannabis is ground up in a blunt, it will tend to burn through too quickly. This is why busting it up by hand works better for blunts. It burns at a more even pace, and that’s what you’re looking for. With the cannabis busted up into smaller chunks, you’ll also reap the benefits of a more progressive high for the amount that you put in.

To bust up cannabis by hand, all you have to do is place small nugs between your fingers. Using friction by rubbing your fingers together with the nug in between them will bust it up nicely. The cannabis should appear like tiny little quinoa grains after it’s busted up. Onto the next step, which is rolling time!

Step 3 – Add The Cannabis To The Blunt Wrap

The most straightforward step of the entire blunt rolling process is adding your cannabis to the blunt wrap.

With the blunt on your rolling tray or other flat surfaces, open it up and then add your cannabis evenly inside the blunt wrap. This part differs a little bit from a joint because with a joint you typically don’t place as much cannabis near the filter area. With a blunt, it’s spread evenly throughout the entire thing.

After a blunt is rolled successfully, it should look like an even-shaped log, whereas a joint will look more like a cone.

After you’ve completed the easiest step of the blunt rolling process, you’ll now have to move on to the most difficult step, which is the tucking. You might want to wait to get high until after you finish this step because messing the tucking up can completely ruin the final blunt. 

Step 4 – Tucking The Blunt

Tucking the blunt is probably the hardest step and one that takes a lot of practice to get it just right.

With both hands, lift the blunt up and then begin to gradually roll it between your hands. Using a back and forth motion works best, and the cannabis should be sitting evenly in the blunt wrap with this method.

Sometimes cannabis will slip outside of the blunt wrap, but that’s what the rolling tray is for. A good rolling tray will catch any excess weed that falls out and save you a mess from needing cleaning.

By now, you should have the cannabis nice and flat against the blunt wrap. With your fingers, grab the piece of the blunt wrap that’s nearest you and carefully wrap it over the cannabis around the underside of the wrap.

Now that your cannabis is sitting nicely in the blunt with one side of the wrap tucked over, you can move onto the final step.

Step 5 – Seal The Wrap By Licking And Rolling

Ensuring that the nearest part of the blunt wrap is still tucked, you’ll now want to give the other edge a lick. Once the whole edge has been licked, you can now continue to roll. You can breathe easier now because the hardest parts are behind you.

Push a bit on the upper side of the blunt wrap that’s just been licked, and underneath the other tucked side of the wrap.

If done correctly, the wrap should now be sticking nicely together. Sometimes, you’ll have to lick the blunt again to ensure it’s sticking together properly, but you don’t want to completely saturate it. The blunt should be a little wet from your saliva, but not overly wet to the point that it’s dripping.

You can now grab your lighter of choice and slowly heat up the perimeter of it evenly. This is called toasting the blunt. What this does is dry up the saliva that’s on the blunt and also makes the product more firm. 

You can now give yourself a nice pat on the back because you’ve just successfully rolled a blunt.
Many will enjoy this last step the most of the entire process.

Step 6 – Smoke

Light up your joint with a few friends and get high!
