“So you’re telling me a blunt forced this trauma?”

“Blunt (force) trauma” is physical trauma; penetrating trauma usually involves a knife or a bullet. Blunt force trauma has nothing to do with a “blunt” (cannabis), but there are jokes.

Wikipedia: Blunt trauma
Blunt trauma is physical trauma to a body part, by impact, injury, or physical attack. The last is often referred to as blunt force trauma, though it can also result from high-velocity impact. Blunt trauma is the initial trauma, from which develops more specific types such as contusions, abrasions, lacerations, internal hemorrhages, and bone fractures. Blunt trauma is contrasted with penetrating trauma, in which an object such as a projectile or knife enters the body, though either can prove fatal.
 
Wikipedia: Blunt (cannabis)
A blunt is a cigar that has been hollowed out and filled with cannabis. It is rolled with the tobacco-leaf “wrap”, usually from an inexpensive cigar. A blunt is different from a joint, which uses rolling papers.
