Fact Checked by Doctor NameWhat is a Pre-roll?
Table of Contents
A pre-roll is a pre-rolled joint containing cannabis flowers.
Pre-rolls provide a convenient, ready-to-smoke option compared to purchasing loose flowers and rolling your joints.
They come in various sizes, strains, and shapes.
Pre-rolls vs. joints
The main difference between pre-rolls and regular joints is convenience – pre-rolls are already prepared so that they can be easily smoked on the go.
With joints, you need to purchase flowers and papers separately, break up the buds, and roll the joint yourself. Both contain ground cannabis flowers wrapped in paper.
Pre-rolls tend to use machine rolling for consistency, whereas hand-rolled joints have more variation.
How to use a pre-roll?
Using a pre-roll is simple:
- Remove the pre-roll from any packaging. Pre-rolls are often packaged in tubes for convenience and discretion.
- Put the pre-roll between your lips and light the end like a regular joint. Make sure to keep the flame moving to get an even light.
- Inhale slowly, allowing the smoke to enter your lungs. Be careful not to inhale too fast, or you may cough.
- Exhale and enjoy the effects! Make sure to tap off any excess ash in between puffs.
- Use the whole joint for maximum efficiency. Once finished, properly dispose of any remains.
