Fact Checked by Doctor NameCannabis Cigarettes: The Cannon
The term “cannon” describes a specific type of cannabis cigarette, a joint.
These joints stand out due to their larger, more cylindrical shape resembling a cannon.
Smokers on the West Coast and Canada have adopted the term “cannon” to differentiate these fat, cylindrical joints from their cone-shaped counterparts since the mid-2010s.
Whether purchased from legal dispensaries or traditional market brands, cannons have become popular among cannabis enthusiasts.
A unique variation of the cannon joint involves incorporating a “worm” of hash rosin into the centre, resulting in what is known as a “hash hole” or “donut” joint.
This combination provides smokers with a heightened experience, delivering a stronger and more authentic taste and potent effects.
The wider diameter of a cannon joint allows for a more aerated hit, resembling the smoothness of a bong hit. In contrast, “pinner” joints have a narrower air path, which can restrict the flow of fresh terpenes to the consumer, limiting the overall experience.
