Have you ever tried rolling a joint?
Some people are naturally great at joint rolling. Then there’s the rest of us, who struggle to even get the flower onto the paper.
Not being able to roll a joint can be a major bummer. You always have to rely on other people to roll up for you, or you have to buy some type of smoking device.
But what if it didn’t have to be that way? What if you could enjoy smoking joints but never have to learn how to roll up? Thanks to pre-roll cannabis, now you can!
What exactly are pre-rolls? Read on to find out.
What Is Pre-roll Cannabis?
Pre-roll cannabis is an already made joint. They come completely packed from places like Roll Pros, with all the cannabis you’ll need. It’s a great way to enjoy the perfect smoking session.
The term pre-roll has become popular in the marijuana industry, but it’s just another word for joint. The only difference is that a joint paper doesn’t come with marijuana. Whereas a pre-roll is a joint paper that already has all of the goodies inside.
Pre-rolls take all of the work out of the smoking equation. You can get right to the fun stuff, lighting up. Premade joints are so popular, it’s easy to source them at almost every dispensary.
What Are the Different Types of Pre-roll Joints?
As you begin shopping at different dispensaries, you’ll discover many kinds of pre-roll cannabis. There’s everything from small classic-sized doobies to enormous, almost unbelievable size doobies.
It’s normal for pre-rolls to come with a filter already in place. Filters are great for a lot of reasons, but mostly because they help you smoke all of the weed, instead of having a roach.
A classic size doobie or pre-roll will typically contain about .5 grams. However, classic-sized pre-rolls can contain as much as 1.5 grams.
It’s all going to depend on the manufacturer. These classic sizes are usually wrapped using unbleached paper that can come from various materials. Some of the popular pre-roll materials you’ll find on the market include hemp, rice, flaxseed, and blends.
Typically, classic size freerolls will have a twist at the end. They resemble a tiny stuffed rocket. If you want to enjoy something a little more, you’ll need to upgrade to the king-size pre-roll.
The king-size pre-roll uses king-size paper. Using king-size paper, these fat pre-rolls can hold up to 1.75 g of flower! King size pre-rolls are perfect for parties and large group smoking sessions.Â
Unique Pre-roll Variations
If you want to enjoy a joint with the twist, look for a dispensary that carries a snake in the grass pre-roll. Snake in the grass pre-rolls has a special treat inside.
Instead of just containing ground-up cannabis flower, they’ll include a nice dose of THC distillate. Drizzled on top of the flower, the distillate can help take your high to the next level.
You’ll be enjoying a pre-roll packed at the ultimate amount of THC, and it’ll be full of flavor. They get the distillate into the joint by using a distillate-filled syringe that lines the bed of the flower.
You could also look into getting a fun dipped and rolled doobie. Dipped and rolled pre-rolls are covered in hash or kief.
You can also find dipped and rolled pre-rolls that use CBD if that’s what you prefer. Not only do dip and roll pre-rolls get you super high, but they look fabulous too.
Are you getting to celebrate a special birthday? Then look for a dispensary that offers pre-rolled kief joints. These are mind-blowing!
Instead of using standard flower, the pre-roll is completely filled with kief. Just kief. So get ready for the ultimate high.
Tips for Lighting a Pre-rolled Joint
Once you find the perfect pre-roll, you’ll be excited to light up. But hold off just a minute. The first step in lighting your pre-roll is to be patient.
The pre-roll isn’t going to burn the moment you put it up against the flame. Instead, you’ll need to gingerly roast the tip of the pre-roll for 3 to 5 seconds.
It’s a lot like lighting an incense. It takes a moment for the flame to grab hold of the material and start burning. When holding the pre-roll to the flame, make sure you have it at the very tip. You don’t want to light the middle of the pre-roll and waste a bunch of weed.
After roasting the tip for a few moments, you can slowly inhale. Inhale slowly and evenly so that you’ll create an even burn.
If you notice that the burn is running up one side of the joint paper, you’ll need to act fast. When the paper burns unevenly, it’s called a joint canoe, and it can waste a ton of weed.
If you notice a joint canoe forming, take action fast. Use a little spit to slow down the side that’s burning too fast.
To avoid weed loss, you’ll need to take steady drags. It also helps if you have some of the world’s tastiest fruits on hand, for when the munchies hit. Certain fruits can help intensify your high, while also taking your tastebuds on a crazy trip.
You can also use a little bit of spit to help slow down the burn on the side that’s burning too fast. We suggest drinking a sip of water between hits. This will help soothe your throat, making it easy to take nice slow pulls from the joint.
Try Your First Pre-roll
Reading about pre-roll cannabis is great, but experiencing it as a whole new game. So what are you waiting for? Decide what type of pre-roll would suit your smoking style, and look for a dispensary that carries it.
If it’s just you, a classic-sized pre-roll will work great. But buy extra, just in case you decide to share with a friend or you want more for yourself!
Whatever pre-roll style you choose, we’re sure you’ll have a fun, smooth smoking experience. For more smooth tips, read another one of our articles.
