But you don’t have to just admire it on screen. You can hold the real deal in your hand.

What Is a Pineapple Express Cross Joint?

The Pineapple Express cross joint is a legendary creation — two joints fused into one intricate design.

The main joint starts as a traditional cone, and a smaller joint is inserted horizontally through its center. All three tips are lit, releasing smoke in sync for an elevated, multi-stream experience.

What separates it from a regular joint? Connection, airflow, and showmanship. It’s not just about rolling — it’s about the process, balance, and execution. It’s tricky, sure, but when done right, it delivers a potent, layered puff every time.

And thanks to Orchard Inferno Cross Joint, it’s no longer just for experts or movie stars.

A Quick History of the Cross Joint

Cross joints weren’t invented by Hollywood, but Pineapple Express made them famous. That one scene, lit on a flat surface with two lighters and a whole lot of peace, made the design iconic.

Before that, the cross joint was mostly an underground trick among hardcore rollers — something that took a lot of practice, patience, and precision.

Today, it’s a celebration of cannabis culture, often shared to mark milestones or elevate special smoke sessions.

Inspired by that cinematic moment, Mood created a version that’s actually accessible — and actually smokes right.

The Rolling Process Behind a Real Cross Joint

Here’s what it actually takes to build a working cross joint:

1. Start Rolling your main joint with a full size rolling paper. It needs to be large enough to accommodate a horizontal connection.

2. Roll a smaller joint that can pierce through the middle.

3. Use a pen or needle to poke a small hole through the main joint at the intersection point. Gently wiggle to open space without tearing the paper.

4. Insert the smaller joint through the hole. Make sure there’s an airtight seal at the connection. Use part of a glue strip or extra paper to secure the joints together.

5. Test the airflow with a soft puff to ensure it’s even and smooth.

Between tearing, resealing, and correcting mistakes, it’s easy to mess up.

You need the right materials, the right pressure, and accurate placement for everything to work. One end too loose? Airflow fails. Improper glue strip seal? You lose potency.

Or — you could skip the trial and error and let Mood’s pros do it for you. Order the Orchard Inferno Cross Joint here.
