What is an infused pre-roll?

An infused pre-roll is a type of consumer-ready joint infused with cannabis concentrates.

While a regular pre-roll is made by packing marijuana flower into rolling paper, an infused pre-roll also involves the addition of cannabis concentrates, which can go inside the joint and/or on the outside paper. Commonly used concentrates include hash, live rosin, wax, and kief.

One of the advantages of commercial pre-rolls is that they are uniform and deliver a consistent hit. When you roll and infuse your own joints, different sections of it may have a higher potency than others.

How is an infused pre-roll made

Manufacturing an infused pre-roll consists of three basic steps:

Grinding cannabis flower

Packing the ground flower into rolling paper (A machine usually does this)

Adding a concentrate (by spraying flower, dipping or rolling joints in cannabis extract, using machines, etc.)

The order of the steps may vary as some manufacturers add the concentrate to the flower prior to rolling the joints, while others prefer to infuse the rolling paper. Some pre-roll makers infuse both the flower and the paper with concentrates.

Different types of infused pre-rolls

You can find many different types of infused cannabis pre-rolls at your local dispensary. Infused pre-roll varieties are classified by the types of concentrates used and the cannabinoid profile of both flower and concentrate.

Infused CBD pre-rolls

Infused CBD pre-rolls are made with high-CBD, low-THC flower, and concentrates. They typically have no psychoactive effects and are consumed primarily for medical use.

Infused THC pre-rolls

Infused THC pre-rolls are made using flower and concentrate with a high THC content. They have mind-altering effects and are consumed for recreation, relaxation, and medicinal uses.

Hash infused pre-rolls

Hash, a resin extract from the cannabis plant’s trichomes, can be added to pre-rolls to boost their potency and flavor.

Bubble hash infused pre-rolls

You can also use bubble hash to make infused pre-rolls. Bubble hash is different from hash in that the trichomes are collected from the marijuana plant using cold water and ice and then filtered and dried. [Source]

Wax infused pre-rolls

You can also add wax, one of the most potent cannabis concentrates, to pre-rolls, either by mixing bits of wax with the flower inside the rolling paper or by dipping the whole pre-roll in wax.

Kief infused pre-rolls

Kief, the loose trichomes that come off dried marijuana buds when they are handled, can be added to the flower before rolling to make kief infused pre-rolls. [Source]

Pre-rolls infused with moon rocks

You can also add moon rocks to flower before rolling a joint to make a potent infused pre-roll. Moon rocks are made by dipping cannabis buds in kief or another concentrate. In case you were wondering, they do look a lot like the moon’s rocky surface!

Terpene infused pre-rolls

Terpenes are responsible for the taste and scent of plants. Infusing a pre-roll with terpenes can awaken a symphony of delicious flavors and aromas. But that’s not all! Through the entourage effect, terpenes also enhance the effects of your pre-roll.

Terp sauce infused pre-rolls

Terp sauce is a fabulously aromatic cannabis concentrate. It is made from fresh-frozen buds, which contain more terpenes than dried buds. Pre-rolls infused with terp sauce are the ultimate experience if you are looking for mind-blowing scents and flavors.

Concentrate Infused Vs. Terpene Infused

Terpene infused pre-rolls and concentrate infused pre-rolls both offer cannabis consumers a unique and elevated smoking experience, yet each boasts distinct features that cater to different preferences.

Terpene infused pre-rolls are crafted by reintroducing a specific blend of terpenes, the aromatic compounds found in cannabis and many other plants, to enhance flavor profiles and therapeutic effects. These pre-rolls are highly sought after by connoisseurs who appreciate the nuanced flavors and aromas that mirror the natural essence of the cannabis plant.

Terpenes not only contribute to the sensory experience but also play a crucial role in the entourage effect, a synergistic interaction among cannabis compounds that enhances the overall benefits of the plant. As a result, terpene infused pre-rolls may offer a more tailored and refined experience, perfect for those who enjoy the subtleties of cannabis.

On the other hand, concentrate infused pre-rolls feature ground cannabis flower combined with various forms of cannabis concentrates, such as shatter, wax, or oil. These potent additions significantly increase the overall cannabinoid content, leading to a more intense and powerful high. Concentrate infused pre-rolls cater to users seeking a robust and long-lasting experience, often providing a quicker onset of effects compared to traditional joints.

Additionally, the inclusion of concentrates can introduce diverse flavors and aromas, depending on the specific extraction methods used. While these pre-rolls are not for the faint of heart, they are ideal for seasoned cannabis consumers or those seeking potent relief from chronic pain, insomnia, or other ailments.

Benefits of infused pre-rolls

Traditional pre-rolls are convenient and affordable, but infused pre-rolls are even better. They contain purer forms of cannabis and have interesting cannabinoid and terpene profiles resulting in exciting flavors and high potency.

The advantages of choosing infused pre-rolls include:

• Convenience and ease of use
• High potency compared to regular pre-rolls
• Many different types to choose from
• Concentrates add a more complex profile of flavors and aromas to infused pre-rolls
• You can use DIY methods to make your own
• They are affordable

When you buy flower or concentrate, there is a process before you can actually consume them. You need to roll a joint or set up your dabbing device. With infused pre-rolls, you can puff immediately, hassle-free.

DIY Infused Marijuana Pre-rolls

Experimenting with infused cannabis pre-rolls is relatively easy.

You will need four basic things:

• Marijuana buds
• A grinder
• The cannabis concentrate of your choice (hash, wax, kief, diamonds, etc)
• Rolling paper or ready-to-fill cones

Step-By-Step Guide To Make An Infused Cannabis Pre-Roll

1. Pick your favorite marijuana strain and grind one gram of the flower to a fine consistency. This will help you roll a great joint.
2. Spread the ground flower evenly onto a rolling paper or into a pre-made cone. This helps your pre-roll burn smoothly and consistently.
3. To make your pre-roll stronger and more flavorful, add a cannabis concentrate like Kief. Sprinkle it onto the ground flower before rolling your joint.
4. For an extra kick, heat your chosen cannabis concentrate until it's easy to work with. Then, carefully dip the outside of your pre-roll in it. This adds more potency and a unique taste to your joint.

Responsible Consumption

Infused pre-rolls taste delicious, but they can be much more potent than regular joints. They might not be the best choice for beginners, as they can pack a more powerful punch than standard joints. Start low and increase slowly to adjust the dosage to achieve the effects you desire.

Conclusion

If you want to enhance your cannabis experience, there is nothing like premium, infused pre-rolls to get you there.

By combining cannabis flower and concentrate, pre-rolls get the best of both worlds. Flavor and potency, unique aromas, and powerful medicinal and mind-altering effects.
