Pre-rolls are one of several ways of consuming cannabis nowadays. They're especially popular among adults who want to enjoy a relaxing evening without having to roll a joint. However, there are different types of pre-rolls, ranging from traditional ones to infused ones with cannabidiol (CBD) oil. In this article, we compare the differences between both types of pre-rolls.
What are infused pre-rolls?
Infused pre-rolls are basically pre-rolled blunts or joints filled with cannabis extract. They're usually sold in packs of 10 or 20 and come in a variety of flavors, including sweet, fruity, spicy, and sour.
They're typically packaged in small bags or tubes and are meant to be smoked quickly due to their potency. You can get different types of infused pre-rolls. There are pre-made blunts that contain anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 grams of weed and 1 gram of extract. These blunts are often called blunt wraps, joint wraps, or just plain old wraps. Blunts can be rolled with one type of extract or multiple ones.
If you want to make your own pre-rolled joint, you can buy pre-mixed pre-rolls or pre-rolled blunts that already have extract inside. You can also purchase pre-rolled blunts with pre-mixed extracts and kief. If you don't want to roll your own joint, you can always buy pre-mixed blunts that contain everything you need to enjoy a good smoke.

What's the difference between pre-rolls and infused pre-rolls?
The difference between regular and infused pre-rolls can easily be observed in the soothing effect of both products. Infused pre-rolls are more potent than their regular counterparts because they contain higher amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). An individual who smokes an infused roll will experience a slow-burning sensation followed by a strong head rush. Regular pre-rolls have a faster onset and shorter duration. They also produce less euphoria.
Why do consumers like infused pre-rolls?
For many, there is no better way to enjoy marijuana than with an infused pre-rolled joint. From the convenience of being able to light one up whenever you're ready to smoke, to the ability to customize the amount of THC and CBD in each puff, pre-rolled joints have become a staple among recreational smokers everywhere. Below are just a few of the reasons consumers love them.
Convenience
Infused pre-rolls, like their regular counterparts, are an extremely convenient option. The single leading reason for the rapid growth of the pre-roll market is the fact that consumers have long been looking for easier ways to smoke weed. Not everyone has the time or skill to sit and roll a joint before a smoke session, which is what makes pre-rolls so appealing.
You can simply buy your joints without having to worry about buying filter paper, a roach, or loose leaves, as you would for a regular joint. Moreover, since you can buy pre-rolls in packs of 6, 10, or even 15, you can easily have them on hand just like regular cigarettes. Consumer-ready joints also make it easier to enjoy smoking with friends as they are easily shared in no time.
Flavor options
One of the biggest benefits of buying infused pre-rolls is the fact that they come in a wide variety of flavors. For new smokers, who are not used to the taste and smell of weed, as well as seasoned smokers looking for something new, this is an extremely attractive proposition.
Infused pre-roll flavor options range from the interesting to the outrageous. Vendors have been known to stock peanut butter gelato rolls and bubble gum rolls. Therefore, if you enjoy the taste of edibles such as gummies but prefer to smoke your weed, infused pre-rolls can create the perfect cannabis experience for you.

Specificity
Infused pre-rolled joints contain a mixture of CBD and terpenes and allow you to control the amount of both in each joint. You might start with 50/50 CBD/terpene ratios to see how the flavors interact, or maybe 75/25 to see what happens when you push the CBD side further. You can also choose to keep things simple by focusing on a single cannabinoid such as THC. For example, you could go with 70/30 CBD/THC and let the terpene take care of itself or you could go with 80/20 CBD/THC and add a little terpinolene to boost the smell.
Consistency
Infused joints provide you with a consistent pre-roll experience. As we highlighted, you can create the exact joint you want with a concentrate and flowers of your choice. Once you have created the perfect joint for your taste, you can get multiple pre-rolled for you at once and have lots of identical joints. When you roll your own joint, the experience is far less consistent due to the simple fact that you end up rolling a slightly different joint each time.

How to spot good infused pre-rolls
With so many infused pre-rolls available at dispensaries these days, it can be difficult to spot when you are actually buying a quality product. In order to ensure that you are buying the best possible infused pre-rolls, here are some steps you can take:
- Ask your budtender: Simply asking your budtender about the pre-roll you want to buy will give you a good indication of its quality.
- Assess the dispensary: The dispensary where you buy your weed is also an indicator of its quality. If the shop looks clean and professional, it probably sells quality products.
- Check who made them: The pre-roll market share is split between several manufacturers. Before buying, it’s important to check who made yours and their reputation.
- Look at the price: At the end of the day, you get what you pay for. If the price of the product looks too good to be true, it probably is.
- Smell the rolls: Trust your senses. If all you can smell is a vague musty odor of weed, you are looking at a product of poor quality. On the other hand, if you can detect strong, potent scents such as pine, lavender, diesel, etc, you are probably examining a good quality joint.
How do you smoke infused pre-rolls?
Smoking infused pre-rolls is no different from smoking regular pre-rolls. However, what you need to remember is that they are stronger. We recommend beginning with a regular pre-rolled joint before moving on to the bigger stuff.
When you're ready to move beyond simple joints, an infused pre-rolled joint is perfect. Just remember that it's not recommended for those who aren't experienced with weed. One hit or two should do the trick, and you can always take more if you feel like it. No matter how seasoned a user you may be, it’s always a good idea to talk to your budtender about what to expect when it comes to trying your first infused joint.
