Answer 1

Joints don’t use the particulate filters that cigarettes have, since this type of filter also removes THC.

They either use no filters at all (just a rolleed cardboard tube for structural support) or an activated charcoal tip, which absorbs some of the gunk, but doesn’t act as a particulate filter, like a cigarette one does
