Joint vs. spliff vs. blunt: How are they different?

22. 12. 2025

Given the significant development of the cannabis industry, it's not surprising that interest in cannabis use continues to grow, both for its medicinal and recreational purposes. If you're new to cannabis, it's important to distinguish between three basic categories: joints, spliffs, and blunts. To make it easier to understand, we'll explain the main differences and their advantages and disadvantages in today's article.

What is a joint?

A joint is rolled using rolling paper and contains only cannabis (CBD flowers). Joints often include a filter, which improves its strength and prevents burning fingertips. Joints are smaller than blunts and therefore easily portable.

What is a spliff?

A spliff is a mixture of tobacco and cannabis rolled in a cigarette paper used for rolling joints. Adding tobacco makes a spliff a kind of combination of a joint and a blunt. A spliff is very similar to a hand-rolled cigarette in size and shape. Spliff smokers can customize the ratio of cannabis to tobacco according to their preferences, either more cannabis and less tobacco or more tobacco and less cannabis, or something in between.

What is a blunt?

A blunt is rolled by unrolling a cigar wrapped in tobacco leaves, which are then filled with cannabis. Blunts are usually larger than joints and last much longer. Blunts contain only cannabis. Due to the size of the tobacco leaves they are rolled in, they can hold much more cannabis than a joint or spliff.
