Why Pre-Rolls Are More Popular Than Ever
Pre-rolls are exactly what they sound like — cannabis flower already ground and rolled in paper, ready to enjoy. They are the easiest entry point for new consumers and a convenient option for anyone who does not want to roll their own. In the early days of legalization, pre-rolls had a reputation for being made from low-quality "shake." That has changed dramatically.
Singles vs. Multi-Packs
Single pre-rolls are typically 1 gram and feature a single strain. They are great for trying a new strain without committing to an eighth of dried flower. Multi-packs usually contain five to seven smaller pre-rolls — perfect for sharing or for taking smaller, more controlled doses throughout the week.
Infused Pre-Rolls
Infused pre-rolls combine dried flower with concentrates like kief, hash, distillate, or live resin. The result is significantly higher potency — often 30 to 50% total cannabinoids — and a longer, smoother burn. If you are an experienced consumer, infused pre-rolls deliver excellent value per milligram of THC.
A word of caution: infused pre-rolls hit harder than standard pre-rolls. Take a couple of small puffs, wait, and reassess before continuing.
What to Look for in a Quality Pre-Roll
Quality pre-rolls use whole-flower buds, not shake or trim. Check the packaging — many BC producers now disclose whether they use "whole flower" or "milled flower." Look for an even, dense pack with no soft spots. The burn should be slow and steady, not racing down one side.
