The Top Benefits of Pre-Rolls (vs Rolling Your Own)

by Tess D. Content Strategist

The traditional methods of smoking marijuana are still the most popular way to consume the substance today. Smoking, by far, leads the charge and there are some new ways you can smoke weed that is much easier and much less effort.

A pre-roll has skyrocketed in popularity and for good reason, there are a ton of benefits over the traditional hand-rolling method.

Keep reading to learn all the ways you can improve your smoking experience with pre-rolls.

You Save a Ton of Time

Back in the day, you had to hand-roll your own joints if you wanted a smoke sesh.

Grinding up your herbs, carefully placing them into the paper, and then licking it closed were all the steps you had to take before you could even take your first puff.

You can imagine how much time that could take. Never mind ripping your paper having to start all over again.

It's what led to pipes becoming so popular because you no longer had to mess with a flimsy paper to smoke weed.

With a pre-roll, you don't have to take any of that time to start your smoke sessions. Every single one comes pre-rolled with herb so you can light up in seconds.

No more grinding, getting the right amount, and gingerly rolling up your paper before getting you draw.

You can enjoy your experience more knowing that you don't have to fuss with all the prep work.

Going to an online dispensary in Canada or any other legal area could save you even more time than making a trip to the store.

The Process Is Cleaner

Unless you have a big surface to work with, rolling your own joints can be a messy process.

You're constantly having to make sure the flower doesn't spread too far in any one direction so that you can easily roll your joint.

Not to mention, you're bound to drop some of your precious herb at some point too. It's even worse if you're trying to do it outside and a gust of wind ends up blowing some off your surface.

That's not an issue when you use pre-rolls! It all comes prepackaged so you don't have to mess with even touching any bud yourself.

That means you won't have extremely sticky fingers that you have to get used to. It also means if you have allergies you won't have a ton of THC on your hands causing a sneeze fest.

Much Better to Transport

Pre-rolls are usually sold in an individual, air-tight package so they stay fresh. This means they have their own container that you can carry them around in without having to worry about the pre-roll getting bent or damaged.

This is much better than having to hand-roll your own joint and cautiously carrying it around until it's time to smoke.

Depending on your location, for example, in California, a cannabis delivery service could bring your pre-rolls right to your door.

Pre-rolls take the rolling challenge out of the equation and give you a reliable way to protect your flower until it's time to smoke.

Better Quality Materials

As the marijuana industry continues to grow and expand, so does the quality of products that stores offer.

It used to be that you were only offered a handful of products and you had to choose the best of the batch.

Nowadays, you have a ton of different products that continue to get stronger, better, and more reliable.

The same can be said for pre-rolls. Stores can have custom blunt wraps made with graphics or words, for branding or product identification purposes.

Rolling a joint involves more decisions now with different sizes, quality paper, and different filters, not to mention the different flower.

When you're rolling your own joint, you might not go for all the highest quality materials possible.

Buying a pre-roll allows you to go for the good stuff every single time. You can have the best filters that help improve smoke flow or ultra-thin French paper that smokes evenly every time.

Consistent Roll Every Time

Pre-rolls are usually made by a rolling machine where you fit in a bunch of papers and then fill each one with flower.

This process makes sure that each pre-roll has the exact same amount of weed inside and it is the exact same level of quality.

When you roll joints on your own, there's no telling how much you put in one compared to the other or if they are going to turn out just as good as the last.

Give yourself a consistent experience that you can rely on by going with a pre-roll.

Benefits of Pre-Rolls

When you go for a pre-roll instead of rolling your own joints you are saving yourself a ton of time. You'll get some of the best materials included in your pre-roll and you'll know that every single one is just as good as the last.
