A Backwood joint, more accurately called a Backwood blunt, is a cannabis blunt made by using the wrapper leaf of a Backwoods cigar to roll the cannabis.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Backwoods Cigars: Backwoods are machine-made cigars known for their rustic appearance and natural tobacco leaf wrapper. They are sold with the tobacco already inside.
- The Process: To create a Backwood blunt, the user carefully unwraps the Backwoods cigar. The original tobacco filling is discarded (or saved for later use). The remaining wrapper leaf is then used to roll ground cannabis.
- Why Use Backwoods? Some smokers prefer Backwoods for their distinct flavor, slow burn, and the specific experience of smoking with a natural tobacco leaf wrapper. However, it's essential to note that smoking a Backwood blunt introduces nicotine and the risks associated with tobacco use, in addition to the effects of cannabis.
In essence, a Backwood blunt is a cannabis cigarette rolled using the outer leaf of a Backwoods cigar, providing a specific flavor profile and smoking experience that some cannabis users find appealing.
