I have been seeing a lot of new medical cannabis patients asking about pre-rolls lately. More specifically, people had been asking me why pre-rolls were less expensive than buying the whole flower. Does this mean that buying a pre-roll is lower quality? Would they be able to provide the same effects as buying a whole flower? Some people, especially seniors and older individuals, are not super experienced or knowledgeable about cannabis. That is totally okay! The important thing is that we can ask questions and give each other feedback in a respectful manner.
Some patients enjoy smoking cannabis but have difficulties packing pipes or rolling blunts due to their medical conditions. For these types of patients, pre-rolls definitely make more sense! It is interesting that, of all the different types of cannabis that are available on our market today, whole flower cannabis remains the most popular and lucrative form. In fact, it is so popular that states who have marijuana medical programs that do not allow smokable marijuana are constantly getting requests to change their policies.
Other inhalation methods that are also popular are vaping and using oil cartridges. These forms of consumption are much more discreet and sometimes more portable than standard cannabis smoking forms. There is much less odor than smoking regular cannabis as well, so for people who want to smoke in secrecy this is a great option. So how do pre-rolled cannabis products stack up against other forms of cannabis inhalation methods? Well, we did the research so you don’t have to. So if you want to read more about it, keep reading this article!
Pre-rolls are usually made in medical dispensaries by the various employees that work there. As employees are moving products around the store and that backroom from day to day, there accumulates a certain amount of marijuana crumbles and debris that fall from the various plants and flowers. After enough of it accumulates around the different boxes and shelves, a store employee will collect all of the leftover cannabis and store it in an airtight container (though they do not mix strains). When they gather enough of a specific strain, they will go ahead and create various marijuana products, including pre-rolls, to then turn around and sell in their dispensary.
That way, none of the marijuana plants go to waste and the dispensary can make back some of the money that they lose from moving products around. Other products that they might make include edibles or topical creams for pain relief. So how do they make the pre-rolls? Does some dude just sit back there and roll joints all day? Well, no - because that would not be efficient for the store. Rather, dispensaries use special machines that automatically fill the wrap with an exact amount of dried and ground cannabis, and will automatically twist and close each joint when the process is complete. This makes the whole process much more efficient and timely.
So why do pre-rolls cost less than other regular weed products? Is it because they are lower quality? In short, no. However, it is important to note that dried weed is normally less expensive than fresh weed, and not everyone loves dried weed. Ground up dried weed is not inherently any less quality than other forms of weed, but some people prefer fresh weed because of the terpenes (they say it impacts the flavor). Overall, you really can’t go wrong with buying pre-rolled marijuana, as long as you’re happy with it. I hope that you learned something by reading this and that you enjoy your pre-rolls the next time you light up!
