If you’re wondering whether joints or blunts are better for smoking weed, the answer depends on your personal preference.
From the smoking experience to burn time to cannabis flavor, each method offers something distinct. Some people want a quick solo hit. Others want a bold, slow-burning blunt to share.
When it comes to cannabis rolled up, you’re not locked into one choice. The better question is: What mood are you in?

Mood exclusively offers hemp-derived cannabis products, not marijuana. That’s a key difference in the cannabis industry.
Under the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp refers to cannabis plants that contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight. Mood’s THCa flower is federally legal hemp. When heated (like during smoking), THCa becomes more potent, offering a cannabis high without crossing into marijuana territory.
So when we talk about smoking cannabis from Mood, it’s always hemp. This matters for legality and access, especially if you live in a state without recreational cannabis laws.
Explore Mood’s hemp flower to experience high-quality cannabis without marijuana smoke or legal complications.
The difference comes down to what you roll with and how you like to consume cannabis.
A joint uses thin papers (usually hemp paper or rice paper) and is filled with only cannabis. It's minimal, quick-burning, and clean.
A blunt uses a thick cigar or blunt wrap, often made from tobacco leaf paper or novelty papers, and contains more ground cannabis flower than a joint paper can hold.
Blunts tend to burn slower and deliver bigger hits. Joints are cleaner and more straightforward.
Each has examples of wraps that are made with natural materials and burn uniformly, and each has examples of wraps with distinct flavor additives and fast-burning designs. It's important to do your research because your smoking experience is determined by more than just weed.
Prefer full flavor without tobacco? Skip the cigar wrap and stick with Mood’s pre-rolled joints or roll your own with hemp paper.
You’ll likely prefer smoking joints when:
You want a clean, direct cannabis high with only cannabis.
You’re after a discreet, quicker session — ideal for solo use.
You want a convenient alternative to complicated rolling.
Joints work great for people who enjoy light hits, subtle terpenes, and customizable options like king-size papers or infused tips. They're a staple of cannabis culture, especially for everyday smokers.
Roll smooth and light with Mood’s hemp rolling papers or make it easier with Mood’s joint roller.
Blunts vs. joints? Blunts take the lead when:
You’re craving a distinct flavor—flavored papers or tobacco wraps often enhance the smoke.
You want to burn slower and savor the session.
You're sharing with friends or diving into a more indulgent smoke.
Blunt aficionados love the ritual: cutting open cigars, filling them with more weed, and wrapping a dense roll. The added material intensifies the hit, making it deeper and longer-lasting.
Explore that full-bodied feel with a Traditional Blunt or try something bold like Jeffrey.

Joints use thin rolling paper and contain just cannabis. Blunts are rolled with thicker, often flavored wraps (sometimes tobacco-based) and generally hold more flower.
A blunt burns slower due to its thicker wrap and larger volume, making it great for long sessions or sharing.
It’s all about personal preference. Joints are simpler and lighter, while blunts offer a richer, heavier smoking experience.
Stick with joints. You’ll avoid tobacco leaf paper, tobacco wraps, or flavored papers meddling with your cannabis flavor.
A joint has only cannabis and is rolled in thin paper.
A blunt has only cannabis but is rolled in a cigar wrap or tobacco-based paper.
A spliff is a mix of little cannabis and little tobacco, common in Europe.
Spliffs introduce tobacco into the experience, and are favored by spliff smokers who enjoy a blended high.
Mood doesn't offer any products with tobacco mixed in. We are all about the cannabis!
No. Mood products are made with hemp-derived cannabis only.
Whether you’re into weed joints, rolling blunts, or just want pre-rolled joints ready to go, Mood makes it easy to enjoy smoking cannabis on your terms.
The cannabis culture around joints and blunts is diverse, and your best experience comes from trying both.
