Rolling a blunt is really just a bigger, sturdier spin on rolling a joint—but the flavor, burn time, and crowd-pleasing vibe make it a special skill. Below we break the process into friendly, bite-sized steps. If you’d rather see the basics in skinny form first, check our how to roll a joint post; then come back for the deluxe version here.

Gather Your Gear

Before we talk technique, let’s grab the right tools. Everything listed lives in the Accessories aisle on bud.com, so you’re only a click away when you need a restock.

• Hemp wrap of your choice—try Natural Hemp Wraps – 2 Wraps Per Pack for a pure, earthy puff or pick a flavored wrap (more on that soon).
• Freshly ground THCA Flower. If you’re not sure about grinder tricks, our how to grind weed guide has your back.
• Rolling surface (tray, notebook, or even the back of a board game box—no judgment).
• Packing tool—a chopstick, pen cap, or the filter end of a What Is a Chillum? can work great.
• Optional: your favorite concentrate if you want to learn how to wrap a blunt with concentrate.

Step-By-Step: How to Make a Blunt

1. Pick Your Wrap Flavor

Classic tobacco leaf wraps used to rule, but many folks—including us—prefer smooth hemp these days because they’re cleaner and easy to seal. Feeling fancy? Rotate flavors to match the moment:

• OG Purp Hemp Wraps – 2 Wraps Per Pack for a grape twist
• Blue Dream Hemp Wraps – 2 Wraps Per Pack when you want berry vibes
• Island Vibes Hemp Wraps – 2 Wraps Per Pack for a hint of tropical sweetness

2. Grind Your Flower

Even, fluffy pieces make the blunt burn smoother. Over-grind and you’ll get dust that falls through gaps; under-grind and you’ll battle lumps. Aim for pea-sized crumbs. Pro tip: pulse the grinder, don’t crank it nonstop.

3. Prep the Wrap

Hemp wraps come sealed and usually ready to go. Gently unroll one and shape it between your fingers so it curves into a trough. If the wrap feels dry, breathe on the inside surface or dampen it with a tiny swipe of water to make sealing easier.

4. Measure Your Flower

People always ask how many grams in a blunt or how much weed in a blunt. Short answer: 1–1.5 g makes a nice personal blunt; 2 g plus turns it into party size. Match the amount to the wrap length—overstuff and you risk rips.

5. Load and Shape

Sprinkle flower evenly from tip to tail. Use thumbs to tuck the bottom edge up and over the flower while the top edge stays loose. The tuck is the magic moment: once the bottom hugs the herb, roll upward slowly, tightening as you move along.

6. Lick, Seal, and Bake

Run a light swipe of saliva along the inside of the top edge, then finish the roll to seal it shut. Some folks flash a lighter under the seam for a second or two—called “baking”—to help it dry and lock into place.

7. Add Concentrate (Advanced)

Ready to level up and learn how to wrap a blunt with concentrate? Warm a thin snake of wax or drizzle rosin along the inside before you load flower, or paint a light layer outside after sealing. Go sparingly; too much can cause uneven burning.

Finishing Touches & Common Fixes

The Gentle Pack-Down

Tap the mouth end gently on your tray. Use a small tool—the blunt side of your chillum, maybe—to compress the flower for an even draw. Twist or fold the tip closed if you’re saving it for later.

Loose Ends or Gaps?

Tiny tears happen. Grab another wrap piece, tear off a patch, lick it, and stick it like a band-aid. A spare wrap lives in every two-pack for good reason.

Uneven Burn?

The culprit is usually lumpy flower or a sloppy tuck. Next time grind finer and take an extra breath during the tuck-and-roll step.

Flavor, Strength, and Session Tips

• Pair fruity wraps with sweet strains, earthy wraps with gassy flower.
• Pace yourself: blunts burn longer than joints, and the bigger chamber delivers heat differently.
• Rolling for friends? Showcase your skills at our next Rolling Derby competition—practice makes perfect!

Safety & Storage

Keep wraps in their resealable pouch or a glass jar so they don’t dry out. Store finished blunts in a doob tube inside a cool drawer—heat will wilt your masterpiece.

Blunt FAQs

Can I roll a blunt without a grinder?

You can break flower by hand, but you’ll get chunks. Grinding is quicker and keeps sticky trichomes from clumping, so we always recommend it.

Do hemp wraps change the taste?

Yes—flavored wraps add subtle notes, while unflavored hemp lets your THCA Flower shine. Try one of each to see which you prefer.

Is concentrate inside or outside better?

Both rock. Inside burns slower and boosts potency; outside can create a cool “spiral” as the wax melts. Experiment to find your sweet spot.

What’s the best way to put out a half-smoked blunt?

Lightly tap off ash, then press the cherry against a stone or metal surface until the ember is gone. Store in an airtight tube to relight later.
