What are the differences between infused pre-rolls and regular pre-rolls? What is a pre-roll even, and what kinds are out there? What’s the best bang-for-your-buds when it comes to infused pre-rolls and non-infused pre-rolls? Let’s roll up some knowledge, light it and take a big puff on the differences between infused pre-rolls and regular pre-rolls.
Pre-rolls are the ultimate in cannabis convenience – they’re rolled tight, packed with ganja, sealed for freshness and are often a cost-friendly way to try a new strain or cannabinoid profiles. Some long-time stoners prefer to roll their own, just like some hipsters like to roll their own tobacco. This is totally fine in its own right because it’s a great way to force yourself to practice and get good at making your own joints/blunts/doobs.
Now that we’re all on the same page for what is a pre-roll, let’s go over the different kinds you can find in dispensaries or online. There are hundreds – if not thousands – of unique variations of pre-rolls to be found, but in terms of categories there’s three that summarize the kinds of pre-rolls: regular pre-rolls, non-infused pre-rolls and infused pre-rolls.
Regular pre-rolls are exactly as their name suggests – just weed, not plain and definitely not simple. Cannabis already comes in so many varieties with such a wide array of unique characteristics per strain that it’s no surprise that many people just smoke regular pre-rolls exclusively. You can always find exciting new cultivars, diverse cannabinoid and terpene potencies and a world of ever-evolving flavors & aromas inside every regular pre-roll.
Regular pre-rolls come in a variety of sizes – ½ gram, 1 gram, 2 grams, etc – but any amount of buds can feasibly be rolled into a joint. Pre-rolls come in different shapes now too, with shaped or sculpted joints becoming increasingly popular. The real important make-or-break factor for many regular pre-rolls has to do with their THC, CBD or other cannabinoids contents.
Regular pre-rolls are also popular as ever due to the “clean green” movement that many stoners have been swept up in. Concentrates like wax, shatter, rosins/resins and other are incredibly potent and have garnered a truly cult-like cannaseur following, but there’s still nothing quite like a good ol’ toke of a big blunt. A growing number of stoners are returning to their cannabis roots and investing in organically-grown, sustainably produced cannabis flowers. This has led to a resurgence in products like organic non-infused pre-rolls rolled in fair-trade rolling papers. Speaking of non-infused pre-rolls…
A non-infused pre-roll is hard to distinguish from a regular pre-roll in that they’re both full of weed, and that’s it. The lack of additives – whether they’re flavoring, aroma-enhancers or concentrates – makes non-infused pre-rolls essentially the same thing as a regular pre-roll. The main difference between infused pre-rolls and non-infused pre-rolls has to do with their cannabinoids.
A regular pre-roll can range anywhere from 10% to 50% or more in THC, CBD, CBG, CBN or other sought after phytocompounds. A non-infused pre-roll doesn’t contain any added wax, hash, kief or other potency enhancers but they are typically comprised of more potent strains with higher THC/CBD values. So, non-infused pre-rolls are essentially stronger regular joints that are filled with more expensive, high-quality strains. A good way to distinguish between regular pre-rolls and non-infused pre-rolls is to go by the weed grading – regular pre-rolls generally contain grade A – AAA, whereas non-infused pre-rolls and infused pre-rolls are made with AAA-AAAA+ top quality cannabis by default.
Infused pre-rolls can provide some staggering THC levels – we’re talking about Phoenix Tear’s levels in the hundreds of milligrams or near-to 100% THC concentration. Infused pre-rolls can have hash, wax or other concentrates on the inside and outside (sometimes they buds are rolled in potency additives, rolled up and then the rolling papers are dabbed or dipped in another form).
The experience of smoking an infused pre-roll vs a non-infused pre-roll is akin to driving a Ferrari along the Italian Riviera vs going for a cruise in your BMW – there’s nothing wrong with a BMW… but c’mon man, it’s a FERRARI! Regular pre-rolls have nothing wrong with them, and in most cases these kinds of doobs are more than enjoyable for the average stoner. On the flip side, many seasoned cannabis users need more than just a smooth smoking, tasty and potent strain of nugs to rev their weed-engine. This is where infused pre-rolls have entered the market and taken hold of the wallets of experienced cannaseurs.
Infused pre-rolls have taken the cannabis world by storm. They are certainly one of the most popular products online and in-stores, and for good reason – infused pre-rolls bring together the convenience of blunts with the intense highs of concentrates like wax, kief or hash. There are a ton of high-quality pre-rolls you can buy online, both infused and non-infused, but you can also easily make your own.
To craft your own infused pre-roll, simply grind up your favorite potent strain with kief, hash, wax or preferred concentrate. Then, channeling your inner sushi chef, roll up the combined buds + concentrates in a joint of your desired size. Make sure you lick or moisten the edge of the final fold to seal the blunt up nice and tight. Additionally, if you’re really feeling brave or have an extremely high tolerance, you can also roll the infused doob in oil, wax, kief, resin or rosin to pack even more potency into it.
