Pre-rolls Archives

Pre-rolls are ready-to-smoke cannabis joints that are pre-ground, rolled, and packaged for convenience. They offer an easy way for consumers, especially beginners, to smoke cannabis without needing to grind flower, roll papers, or use any other equipment.

Types of pre-rolls

Pre-rolls come in a variety of types, sizes, and potency levels to suit different preferences.

Standard pre-rolls: These are traditional joints made simply with ground cannabis flower and rolling paper. They are the most common type and often come in various strains, categorized as indica, sativa, or hybrid.
Mini pre-rolls: Sometimes called “pinners” or “dog walkers,” these are smaller in size and contain less cannabis, making them ideal for a quick, solo session or for microdosing.
Infused pre-rolls: These are mixed with cannabis concentrates, such as kief, hash, live resin, or THC distillate, to increase their potency and flavor.
- Kief-infused
  
  : Contains kief, the potent, crystal-like resin from the cannabis flower.
- Live resin-infused
  
  : Features live resin, an extract from flash-frozen cannabis plants, for enhanced flavor and aroma.
- Diamond-infused
  
  : Contains THCA crystals for an extremely potent effect.
Blunts

: Thicker than standard pre-rolls, blunts are rolled in tobacco leaves or hemp wraps instead of traditional papers. They burn more slowly and contain more flower.
CBD pre-rolls

: Made from high-CBD, low-THC flower, these offer the therapeutic benefits of CBD without the intense psychoactive effects.
Hemp pre-rolls

: Similar to CBD pre-rolls, these are made from industrial hemp flower and are low in THC.

How to choose and consume

Choosing the right pre-roll depends on your desired experience, tolerance, and budget.

How to choose

Know your tolerance: For beginners, it’s best to start with a standard, non-infused pre-roll with a lower THC percentage. Experienced users or those seeking stronger effects may prefer infused options.
Consider the strain: Understand the difference between indica (relaxing), sativa (energizing), and hybrid strains (balanced) to choose one that fits your mood.
Prioritize quality: Not all pre-rolls are made with high-quality flower. Look for reputable brands that use premium buds rather than leftover “shake” or “trim,” which can result in a harsh taste and uneven burn.
Check for lab testing: Always purchase from licensed dispensaries that sell products tested by third-party labs to ensure purity, potency, and safety.
