Pre-rolls generally cost less than buying flower. If you wonder why pre-rolls are cheaper than flower, most dispensaries do not use the highest grade of flower they have to make their pre-rolls. Suppliers offer pre-rolls for clients on every budget. You can buy pre-rolls starting at a few dollars, up to twenty dollars, depending on your preferred size and quality.
Signs of a Cheap Pre-Roll
If you are trying pre-rolls for the first time, there are a few things you should look for regarding quality.
Taste
A cheap pre-roll will have very little taste when you first light it. You will experience an awful aftertaste when you finish your pre-roll.
You can determine the taste of your pre-roll by taking a hit without your blunt being lit. If you experience a good flavor, it should taste the same when burning.
How It Burns
You will often see uneven burning in lower-quality pre-rolls. Joints can burn more quickly on one side, which can be very frustrating. Uneven burning can happen for various reasons, from the ground flower being too compact to moisture pockets.
Ash
You wouldn’t think the type of ash would be important, but it can indicate whether you have a cheap or a high-quality pre-roll. The best pre-rolls will have fluffy light grey to white ash, and the fluffy ash suggests that the suppliers have adequately cured the cannabis.
Does It Extinguish Often?
When you are smoking a pre-roll, and it goes out suddenly, there could be a problem with a cure. It generally means that the flower is too moist to maintain a consistent burn.
Missing Ring
A cheap pre-roll will not have an oil ring below the joint’s tip. Higher-quality pre-rolls have a circle of oil caused by the cannabinoids found in cannabis. Cheaper pre-rolls will not have cannabinoids to create this ring.
Trim and Shake
Dispensaries will often use other plant materials besides flower to fill up their pre-rolls so they can offer them at a discounted price. Some dispensaries make pre-rolls with shake, which is the loose flower left at the bottom of the jar. Sometimes, they use trim or ground sugar leaves to plump up the pre-rolls.
Pre-Rolls Are Often Made With Lower Quality Flower
Common sense dictates that when dispensaries use a lower-quality flower to make their pre-rolls, they are able to sell them for a lower price. Like any other business, affordable prices on an excellent product bring in customers.
Multi-Strain Pre-Rolls
Dispensaries don’t let any leftover cannabis go to waste, and they will combine multiple strains of excess cannabis to make pre-rolls. These joints made from an assortment of cannabis strains will fetch a much lower price than pre-rolls made with one specific strain.
Pre-rolls made with a combination of strains can still deliver a pleasurable effect for customers.
Pre-Rolls Made From Unsold Cannabis
Dispensaries may have flower that they can’t sell, and they will use this flower to make the pre-rolls. They may want to replace a less popular flower with one that sells much better. The dispensary will sometimes absorb the cost of the rolling papers and tips so they can offer the pre-rolls at a discounted price.
The unsold cannabis does not mean that it is a lower-grade flower; it simply means that clients may not be familiar with the strain.
Are There Fake Pre-Rolls?
You can buy fake pre-rolls that will have no effect when you smoke them. It might taste great, but there doesn’t seem to be any kick. Some dispensaries may use stems and sticks but no flower bud or not enough flower bud.
There are some brands of pre-rolls that are counterfeited and can make you ill.
