Commercial roses that you buy at the store for holidays are not regulated for human consumption. They might look pretty but they’re often sprayed with pesticides and/or hazardous chemicals to keep them looking fresh, so only use organic roses or roses from a trusted garden when rolling rose blunts.
[dropcap size=big]A[/dropcap] couple days after Mother’s Day, I noticed a rose drying up on my kitchen counter. Rather than let it go to waste, I decided to roll a rose blunt.
After successfully rolling my first rose blunt without any instruction, giggling to myself like it was my first time getting blazed all over again, and let out a huge billow of smoke, signaling success. I was surprised by how well the blunt burned – slowly and smoothly similar to a real cigar – which got me thinking, why don’t more of us smoke rose blunts if roses are so plentiful?
Rose blunts first reached viral status in September of 2017 when YouTuber @Savvy_Sasha uploaded a 2 minute tutorial video to Twitter, explaining the process. The video was viewed more than 7 million times and rose blunts quickly became the latest rage in alternative rolling papers, following a surge in hemp, gold and palm leaf wraps. The Internet was captivated by the innate beauty of a rose combined with cannabis.
