What Are Pre-Rolls?

When it comes to consumption methods, there are many different ways to enjoy cannabis. One of these ways is by smoking a pre-roll. Marijuana pre-rolls are pre-rolled joints that are already wrapped and contain ground cannabis flower. You can purchase pre-rolled joints at dispensaries throughout the state.

In general, a pre-roll will contain three different parts:

    Rolling Paper

    This is what contains the flower in your joint. This thin paper comes from a variety of plant fibers. To create a joint, you fill a rolling paper with flower.

    Flower

    The next part of a pre-roll is the flower itself. Some companies produce pre-rolls with shake or trim, which can produce a less-than-desirable and low-quality smoke. However, Pacific Stone only uses premium, 100% greenhouse flower with NO shake or trim. This leads to a more pleasurable, higher-quality smoke.

    Filter

    Also known as a crutch, this is a piece of paper that can help filter out large particles while also providing a physical barrier between the lit end of the pre-roll and your lips.

    Pre-rolls are also called pre-rolled cones based on their shape. You’ll find them throughout dispensaries in a variety of strains, quantities, and filled amounts.

    The Benefits of Pre-Rolls

    Pre-rolls are a great option for many cannabis consumers, and they come with many benefits. Here are the top benefits of using pre-rolls.

      Cost

      Pre-rolls are an affordable way to consume cannabis, as they can be purchased in singles or in multi-packs. They also don’t require any costly equipment to enjoy the smoking experience. They can be great if you want to sample a particular strain before committing to buying higher quantities.

      Portability

      Cannabis pre-rolls are also great due to their portability. Because everything is already packaged for you, you don’t have to mess with bringing a grinder, grinding up the flower, and then rolling it. Plus, most pre-rolls can discreetly fit into your pocket. So, for consumers looking for an on-the-go experience, pre-rolled joints are a great option.

      Shareability

      Pre-rolls are also an ideal way to share cannabis with friends. Whether you’re passing a pre-roll around or sharing with friends so they can try a strain you love, joints are a great way to share cannabis with others.

      Easy to consume

      Unlike other ways to consume weed, enjoying a pre-roll is pretty straightforward. Simply find some fire and enjoy a quick smoke experience. Once you’re finished, you can dispose of the joint quickly and discreetly as well.

      Time-saving 

      While rolling joints can be satisfying, it can take some time to master the art of rolling your own joint. This time-consuming and sometimes complicated process can slow you down from enjoying your smoking experience. In contrast, pre-rolled cones provide a fast option to consume cannabis that only requires the amount of time needed to smoke the joint.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What’s the difference between a blunt and a pre-roll?

      A blunt is rolled using a wrap. While some blunts use tobacco as a wrap, Pacific Stone uses hemp wraps. Blunts also tend to contain more cannabis than a pre-roll. In contrast, a pre-roll uses rolling papers and is often smaller than a blunt.

      Do you smoke a pre-roll all at once?

      Some people may choose to use the entire pre-roll at once, while others may save part of the pre-roll for a later time. Your decision can depend on your personal tolerance, the strength of the THC, how much time you have, and how big your pre-roll is. For example, a .35g pre-roll will be easier to consume in one session versus a 1g pre-roll.

      Products like our Slims Pre-Rolls are smaller in size, while larger pre-roll sizes may require multiple sessions or sharing with friends.
