Understanding Pre-Rolls

Before delving into how to smoke a pre-roll, it’s essential to understand what a pre-roll is. A pre-roll is a ready-to-smoke cannabis joint you can buy from a dispensary. They’re expertly rolled and filled with quality cannabis, ensuring a satisfying smoking experience each time. This convenience makes them an excellent choice for those who want to skip grinding cannabis buds and rolling a joint themselves.

The Pros of Pre-rolls

Pre-rolls have rapidly gained popularity and for a good reason. One of the significant advantages of pre-rolls is convenience. They save you the time and effort you would otherwise invest in grinding cannabis buds and rolling a joint. This convenience makes pre-rolls an excellent choice for always on-the-go individuals or those who prefer not to handle cannabis directly.

Moreover, pre-rolls come in a variety of strains and quantities. Whether you prefer Indica, Sativa, or a hybrid strain, you can find a pre-roll that matches your preferences. This wide selection makes pre-rolls suitable for a broad range of cannabis users.

The Cons of Pre-rolls

While pre-rolls offer numerous benefits, there are a few considerations to remember. Firstly, pre-rolls are more expensive than buying cannabis flower due to convenience. Secondly, not all pre-rolls are created equal. Some dispensaries may use lower-quality cannabis in their pre-rolls. Therefore, purchasing your pre-rolls from a reputable dispensary like EMBR is crucial, it guarantees the quality and purity of their products.

How to Perfectly Pack a Pre-Roll

When you buy a pre-roll, the packing is done for you. However, if your pre-roll is not packed to your preference, you can adjust it. Lightly tapping the pre-roll on a hard surface will settle the cannabis inside and ensure a smoother, more even burn. It’s important not to pack it too tightly, as this can make it harder to draw smoke through the joint.

The Art of Lighting a Pre-Roll

The way you light a pre-roll can significantly impact your smoking experience. Lighting it adequately will help ensure an even burn, reducing the chances of it “running” or burning faster on one side. Hold the joint slightly upwardly, apply flame to the tip, and rotate it gently. This process, often referred to as “toasting,” ensures that the entire end of the joint is lit evenly. Remember, the aim is not to scorch the cannabis but to gently heat it to the point of combustion.

Enjoying Your Pre-Roll

Now that you’ve correctly lit your pre-roll, it’s time to enjoy it. When you take a puff, try not to inhale too sharply. Instead, draw the smoke into your mouth first, then inhale it into your lungs along with some fresh air. This technique allows you to enjoy the complete flavor profile of the cannabis and can also help prevent a harsh hit.

How to Put Out a Pre-Roll

Contrary to what some might think, you don’t have to smoke a pre-roll in one go. If you’ve had enough, you can quickly put it out and want to save some for later. Gently tapping the lit end against a hard surface will extinguish the flame. Once you’ve done that, ensure it’s entirely out before leaving it unattended.

Storing Your Pre-Roll

Proper storage is vital if you’ve extinguished your pre-roll and plan to finish it later. Keep your pre-roll in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. You can use a joint tube for this purpose. Proper storage will help preserve the quality and potency of your pre-roll for your next session.
