The name, “Blunts,” is a street name used to describe a marijuana and tobacco cigar. Other street names include “el-pees” (LP’s), According to one source, blunts originated among Jamaicans in New York City in the early 1980’s. Blunts take their name from “Phillies Blunt” brand cigars, although other brands of similar make (such as El Producto, White Owl, and Dutch Masters) are also used for this purpose.
Blunts vs. Joints

Smoking marijuana inside the leaf or paper wrapper of a cigar offers several advantages to the user:

* The tobacco wrapper slows down the burning rate of the joint. This allows a greater number of users to share the same joint.
* A blunt holds more marijuana than a joint, and is convenient to use and store. A single user can smoke it, extinguish it, and easily relight it. “That’s what’s so cool about a blunt. Just put it out. It fits nicely in the top pocket.”
* It looks like a legal drug. Even though it is illegal for adolescents to use tobacco products, blunts appear to be commercial tobacco cigars. Policemen, teachers, and parents who ignore cigarette possession in minors are likely to ignore blunts as well.
* Nicotine from the tobacco content may add to the effects of the marijuana in a blunt. Nicotine is a stimulant, and marijuana is a minor hallucinogen with some depressant properties. Other stimulant and depressant combinations include cocaine and heroin, cocaine and alcohol, amphetamines and alcohol. At this writing, there appears to be no medical literature evaluating the psychoactive effects of using marijuana and tobacco together vs. individually. However, some of the comments made in one magazine interview are intriguing and may indicate synergistic effects: “The blunt is more effective than smoking marijuana alone…” “When you smoke a blunt, you get twice as high. . .” “At first, I didn’t like it, ’cause it made me dizzy. …

Disadvantages: mainly, you are smoking tobacco in addition to your weed!! Two kinds of smoke means many more different chemicals than just one or the other, so more bad side-effects. Also, as stated above, you get higher faster than just smoking weed: this can make you dizzy or feel strange.
