Pre-rolls are a super convenient way to get the most out of your smoking experience! But let’s just start by saying that pre-rolls are not like they used to be.
Back in the day, getting a pre-roll at a dispensary often meant you were receiving a hodge-podge of cannabis. There might have been some actual flower somewhere in there, but mostly it was shake and stems. Luckily, that’s definitely not the case anymore!
Different Kinds of Pre-Rolls
These days, answering the question “What is a pre-roll?” is not as simple as it once was. Pre-rolls have evolved beyond the simple joint with a paper filter and a picturesque cone shape—though these classic pre-rolls will never go out of style! Here are a few of the different types of pre-rolls you can expect to find on dispensary shelves:
Flower Pre-Rolls
Tried and true, a simple ole’ traditional flower joint is still a staple in many (possibly all) dispensaries. The chances that you find a dispensary where flower pre-roll joints are sold out is highly unlikely. If you can’t roll yourself, or if you just prefer the convenience of opening the container and immediately lighting up, pre-rolled joints are a cost-effective, portable option.
Kief Pre-Rolls
You may be familiar with kief: those THC crystals that you collect in the bottom of your grinder. Kief joints—that is, adding kief to your flower when rolling a joint—are a long-time favorite way of using kief, so of course, you’ll find pre-rolls that have been infused with kief. Kief may be added to the flower within a pre-roll, but you might also see it as a fine dusting on the outside of a pre-roll, too.
Infused Pre-Rolls
If you enjoy wax, shatter, crumble, or other concentrates, you’ll likely enjoy an infused joint. Depending on the manufacturer and the concentrate being used, they may mix the concentrate into the bud prior to rolling. You’ll also find joints that have been rolled as normal, dipped into the concentrate, and allowed to dry. These may also be rolled in kief!
