The History of the Blunt

How did hip-hop help make the blunt a stoner sensation? What was the first song to reference the modern blunt? When did Snoop Dogg actually smoke his first blunt? In this episode, Thrillist tries to clear the air on the complicated history of the blunt by focusing on its rise in relation to hip hop music. In less time that it takes to smoke down a Swisher, you'll get a brief timeline on the blunt, and why you probably smoked one at some point in the past 30 years... you know, if you are into that kind of thing. (Don't worry, we're not the cops). This video "The History of the Blunt", first appeared on http://thrillist.com.
