Cannabis Blunt Wraps: Tobacco and Hemp Guide

A cannabis blunt wrap is a sheet of tobacco leaf or hemp fiber used to roll ground cannabis. Tobacco wraps contain nicotine. Hemp wraps do not. Both burn plant matter and add smoke to the flower.

Cannabis Blunt Wrap Flavors Guide: Your Ultimate List

Tobacco blunt wraps

A traditional blunt starts as a cigar. The smoker splits the cigar, removes the inner tobacco, and packs cannabis into the outer leaf. The leaf stays tobacco, so the smoker takes in tobacco smoke with the cannabis.

Store-bought wraps use homogenized tobacco leaf sheets. Packs hold 2 to 4 wraps and cost $1 to $5 in the US. Common flavors include grape, blueberry, watermelon, and vanilla.

Federal law sets the tobacco purchase age at 21. That covers blunt wraps sold as tobacco products.

Hemp blunt wraps

Hemp wraps use hemp fiber or hemp leaf. They contain no nicotine. Packs hold 2 to 25 sheets and cost $1 to $8. Hemp wraps burn faster than tobacco leaf and add a plant taste to the smoke.

Health facts

Burning plant matter makes carbon monoxide, tar, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Tobacco wraps add nicotine and tobacco-specific nitrosamines. Nicotine is addictive.

A blunt holds 0.5 g to 1.5 g of cannabis. A joint holds 0.3 g to 0.5 g. Blunts burn longer and put more smoke into each session.

How to roll a blunt

1. Grind 0.5 g to 1.5 g of cannabis.
2. Split a cigar and empty the tobacco, or take a wrap from the pack.
3. Moisten the wrap with water. Dry wraps crack at the fold.
4. Spread the cannabis in one layer along the wrap.
5. Tuck the front edge and roll with both thumbs.
6. Seal the seam with water. Let it sit for 30 seconds.
7. Light the tip and pull.

Storage

Wraps dry out in open air. Keep them in the sealed pack or in a jar at 62% relative humidity. A dry wrap tears at the seam and burns fast.

Legal notes

Cannabis stays illegal under federal law. State rules differ. Recreational cannabis sales require age 21 in states with legal markets. Tobacco wrap sales follow state tobacco age rules and the federal age of 21.
