The History of the Marijuana Joint
Posted on: Oct 23

Origins: While cannabis has ancient roots, the modern concept of the “joint” has a more recent history. Its earliest recorded use harks back to the mid-19th century.

1850, Guadalajara, Mexico: A pharmacist at the University of Guadalajara observed field workers combining tobacco and cannabis, aiming for an enhanced high. This blend, smoked in a rolled form, laid the foundation for the concept of the joint.

1920s, USA: Alcohol prohibition (1920-1933) inadvertently served as a catalyst for the rise of the "jazz cigarette." Cannabis was then legal, and its public consumption, especially in the form of joints, was popularized in jazz clubs and among aficionados.

1960s, California, USA: Although marijuana faced prohibition in 1937, the 60s saw its resurrection among hippies and influential reggae musicians such as Bob Marley and The Wailers.  The Vietnam War further boosted the joint's popularity, with many soldiers encountering cannabis during their service in Asia.

2023, USA: The Wailers unveil a new wave of premium pre-rolls. With a choice between Bubba Kush or Matterhorn hemp flowers and a hefty dose of Delta 8 THC oil, they've redefined the game with their superior, federally legal joints.

The joint, simple in design yet powerful in effect, has maintained its status as the foremost means of consuming cannabis. It first surged in popularity within the U.S. in the early 20th century among jazz musicians and their enthusiasts. The federal government, taking note of its widespread use, even went as far as banning it in the 1940s. Still, the joint persisted, becoming a staple in music cultures spanning from rock and roll and reggae to hip hop.

Technological advancements in recent years, notably the synthesis of Delta 8 THC from CBD and its federal legality, have revolutionized the cannabis market.

In a 2021 survey, participants compared the effects of Delta 8 THC and Delta 9 THC. While both compounds had their merits, Delta 8 THC stood out for its fewer side effects and association with creativity and laughter.

In the world of cannabis, there are many roads to take, be it Delta 9, Delta 8, or a blend of both. The legacy of the joint remains strong, symbolizing personal freedom and a shared cultural experience. As you embark on your journey, let history and The Wailers be your guide. 
Here's to the continuous evolution of the iconic cannabis joint.
