At Mottz, we appreciate the ritual as much as the result. Rolling up isn’t just about consumption – it’s about preference, culture, and context. Whether you’re passing something around a table or stepping outside for a quiet moment, the way you roll says something.
So let’s break it down – cleanly, simply, and without the noise.
What Is a Joint?
A joint is cannabis rolled in thin rolling paper, typically made from hemp, rice, or flax. It’s the most straightforward – and arguably the most classic – way to enjoy flower.
Why people choose jointz:
-
Pure cannabis flavor
-
No tobacco involvement
-
Lightweight and easy to control
-
Ideal for strain tasting
Jointz are all about nuance. If you care about terpene profiles and want to experience a strain as intended, this is the move. You want to taste that goodness, right?
Mottz take:
Think of a joint like a clean slice – simple, balanced, and respectful to the ingredients.
What Is a Blunt?
A blunt swaps rolling paper for a tobacco leaf or cigar wrap. Traditionally larger and heavier, blunts bring a different energy to the table.
What defines a blunt:
-
Rolled with a tobacco leaf or wrap (most likely a Vanilla Dutch, Philly, or BluntWrap)
-
Slower burn (dependent on if you use just the inner leaf, outer leaf, or both)
-
Bolder, heavier smoke (not as great for the lungs)
-
Can contain nicotine
Blunts tend to mute some of the finer cannabis flavors but add their own presence. They’re social, statement-making, and unapologetically bold. If there’s a whole crew smoking, you gotta smoke a blunt.
Mottz take:
This is the deep-dish option – rich, filling, and not subtle. Best enjoyed intentionally.
What Is a Spliff?
A spliff blends cannabis with tobacco and is usually rolled in standard rolling paper. While more common in Europe, spliffs have their own loyal following stateside.
Why people roll spliffs:
-
Conserves cannabis
-
Adds a nicotine kick
-
Burns evenly
-
Familiar feel for tobacco users
That said, spliffs aren’t for everyone – especially if you’re trying to avoid tobacco altogether.
Mottz take:
A hybrid approach. Not wrong – just specific. Know what you’re rolling and why.
