We will be getting into it further in this article. So if you're looking for an easy and controllable way to enjoy your favorite cannabis strain, look no further than cannabis pre-rolls!
How are Pre Rolls Made?
I know what you’re thinking, who cares? All you likely care about is that it hits you the right way right?
Well, how your pre-rolls are made can impact your experience quite a lot and there are multiple factors that go into the final result of your joint. The main factors that determine your smoking experience are the following:
- Flower Usage
- Rolling Paper
- Extra materials
- Rolling technique
Let’s get into these and how they can impact your smoking experience both in positive and negative ways. The next time you speak to your budtender you will find that you will get to the good stuff in no time!
Flower Usage
Some people may not know that pre-rolls can be filled with different parts of the cannabis flower. Must users assume that you always smoke the nugs or buds, but that may not always be the case.
Most cannabis retailers use other parts of the flower that have the same effect but don’t necessarily have the same quality as if you grinded the flower and filled the pre roll with that.
You can also use trim or shake to pre-roll a joint. What are these? Let 's get into it!
Trim is basically what is left on the table after cutting all the buds or nugs from the cannabis flower. It includes the leaves, kief, fallen off buds, and some even contain seeds and twigs.
This can lead to a harsh smoke and bad flavor which is why most cannabis aficionados stay away from trim pre-rolls. But if taste doesn't really matter to you, these are the cheapest pre-rolls in the market!
You can also find shake pre-rolls that are made from the remnants of the jars where the buds are stored. This is higher quality than trim because it’s what’s left of the full buds, but it still isn’t as fresh.
If you are looking for really high quality pre-rolls you are going to want to get bud made pre-rolls with freshly grinded weed.
Rolling Paper
The type of rolling paper can also impact your smoking experience as it can affect the taste and increase the high. There are really crazy types of rolling papers you can try so here is a run down of the main types of rolling paper.
The classic rolling paper is categorized by the material it is made with and can influence the durability, burn, and taste of your joint. The best materials are rice and hemp papers given they tend to give a more even and long lasting burn to those who chose them.
However if you want to experiment the different types of rolling papers there is more to be said. Not only can you find rolling papers made out of different materials but you can also find that they can have different flavors, and even added terpenes to make your high long-lasting.
Extra Materials
Smoking pre-rolls can get pretty interesting with the amount of entrepreneurs out there that have gotten very creative. From the foot-long pre-rolled Raw Cones, to crystal clear joint papers made of plant cellulose, there are some really interesting things out there!
You can even find papers made of 24k gold or papers that are one-hundred-dollar bill imitations. Definitely something for special occasions to flex in front of your friends!

Rolling Technique
Lastly, the rolling technique will also impact your smoking experience. If it is machine rolled it can sometimes be too compressed and stuffed to be smokable. If it’s hand-rolled it can also need to be more compressed.
If you want to determine if the pre-rolled has been rolled properly, give it a little squeeze before you buy it. If it’s too packed it won’t give in, if it gives in too much it needs more material. If it gives in just a little then it’s perfect.
The Effects and Duration of a Pre Roll
Cannabis pre-rolls are one of the most mellow and controllable ways to smoke. The effects depend on the strain and there are mainly two types of strains that determine the effects you will feel.
If you smoke THC rich pre-rolls, you will feel euphoric, energetic, creative, and relaxed which is great for when you want to go out or pop out some creative work. Some THC rich strains include: THC, THCa, THCO, Delta-8, and Delta-9.
It’s important to keep in mind when experimenting with THC pre-rolls, that it is the psychoactive part of marjuana. So, some people do report feeling paranoia or anxiety sometimes.
Don’t Worry. Take it smoke by smoke and see how you react to each strain before going all in.
On the other hand, if you smoke CBD rich pre-rolls you will feel pain relief, a higher sense of relaxation, and it will help you sleep! So if you suffer from insomnia or have a hard time with anxiety or depression some CBD pre-rolls are a great option for you.
As far as duration, pre-rolls tend to last between 30 minutes to an hour. Though it could be less or more depending on the potency of the strain.
You can determine how potent a strain is by looking at the THC percentage. The higher the THC concentration, the stronger the strain. That rule is king, so keep it in mind.
