1. Casual Weekday Smoke
Best Option: Joint
If you're looking to enjoy just weed without anything too heavy, a personal-sized joint is the go-to. These thin papers let the cannabis flavor shine, offering a clear-headed, manageable high ideal for winding down after work.
Top pick: Mood’s Cereal Milk Pre-Roll for a chill and social high.
2. Backyard BBQ Hangout
Best Option: Blunt
When it’s all about the vibe, flavor, and sharing with fellow smokers, blunts differ in all the right ways. A blunt rolled with thick papers delivers bold flavor and potent effects, perfect for long conversations and chill smoke breaks between burgers.
For the squad: The Jeffrey Blunt is a fantastic choice with a diamond dust-rosin infused coating.
3. Solo Late-Night Session
Best Option: Joint
Alone with your thoughts or vibing to late-night music?
A weed joint is manageable and digestible with its thin rolling paper. This convenient alternative to blunts suits quiet, personal moments and lets you fully appreciate the strain's distinct flavor additives.
Solo vibe: Mood’s Top Gun Pre-Roll is soft, earthy, and ideal for late-night rituals.
4. Music Festival Weekend
Best Option: Blunt
Rolling blunts for a festival is a flex, but pre-rolls make it effortless. Blunts are better for long-lasting, shareable smokes with considerably thicker wraps that resist wind and stay lit through set after set.
Stay lit: Mood’s Traditional Blunt holds its own through headliners and encores.
5. First-Timer Smoke Sesh
Best Option: Joint
For those new to smoking weed, joints are a softer intro with thin papers and easier direct inhalation. You can pace yourself and experience the high without the intensity of a full-blown blunt.
Beginner pick: Mood’s Boogie Woogie Pre-Roll adds a bit of laughter to your first time lighting up.
6. Nature Hike or Beach Day
Best Option: Joint
Outdoorsy activities call for something lighter and easy to dispose of (responsibly and ethically, of course, leave no trace). Joints burn uniformly and don’t leave your gear smelling like a full-blown hotbox.
On-the-go joint: Mood’s Strawberries & Bananas Pre-Roll travels well and elevates any view.
7. Group Movie Night
Best Option: Blunt
For long movies and shared snacks, cannabis consumption through a slow-burning blunt is a treat. Blunt aficionados will appreciate the richness, and it makes passing easier with fewer relights.
Feature presentation: A Mood Blunt adds just the right buzz to your movie marathon.
8. Rainy Day Relaxation
Best Option: Joint
The gentle burn of a joint suits overcast moods. It’s the cannabis rolled equivalent of a rainy-day playlist — smooth, quiet, and introspective.
Chill out strain: Mood’s Kush Mintz Pre-Roll feels like comfort in a rolling paper.

FAQs
What’s the difference between blunts and joints?
Joints are rolled using thin papers — often hemp or rice — designed for just cannabis.
Blunts are wrapped in thicker wraps, traditionally from tobacco leaf paper or cigar wrappers.
Is there a difference between a blunt and a spliff?
Yes. A spliff is cannabis mixed with a little tobacco and rolled in joint paper.
Blunts contain only cannabis but are typically wrapped in tobacco leaf. However, many smokers now avoid smoking tobacco and prefer tobacco-free blunts made with hemp-based materials.
Is smoking joints better for new users?
Generally, yes. Joints offer a cleaner, less harsh smoking experience and are easier to manage in terms of how much THC you're inhaling.
They're perfect for trying out cannabis flower without overwhelming effects.
Why do blunt aficionados prefer them over joints?
Blunts differ because they offer richer flavor, a longer session, and a heavier hit. While some people avoid tobacco mixed products, others love the ritual and intensity of the blunt rolled experience.
