Can’t Decide Between Preroll and Flower? Know Your Best Option.
Cannabis enthusiasts have their preferences when it comes to how they smoke. Some prefer to buy dried flowers and admire the beauty of the buds in all its glory coated with sparkly trichomes and orangey pistil strands before grinding and rolling them into joints. Meanwhile, there are those who prefer it quick and easy so they light up a preroll and smoke. Not all strains have both dried flower and preroll options available but if you want to try a strain and are undecided as to what format to take, then here are some factors to help you select the format for you.
Convenience
In terms of convenience, preroll is the way to go. There’s no pre-game needed to smoke a preroll because “it is cannabis that is rolled up before customers buy it.” Imagine coming home after a long day and just wanting to relax. With a preroll, you just need to light the end and inhale all the goodness.
With a dried flower, there’s some prep and props needed. Dr. Anand Dugar of Green Health Docs suggests different ways to smoke such as using an herbal grinder, blunt wrap, pipe, or bong, depending on how you want to smoke. If you enjoy the experience of doing the works like the OGs, then dried flowers could be your best friend.
Price
Prerolls are usually more affordable because they come in smaller formats. Because of its size, they may contain some shake which is “small pieces of cannabis flower that break off from larger buds during handling, transportation, and storage. While it may include tiny bits of leaves and stems, shake is primarily made up of the actual flower material.” Nevertheless, it is “still perfectly good to light up, just no longer attached to the manicured flower. Additionally, the streamlined manufacturing process for prerolls tends to reduce production costs.” With this, if you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, preroll is the way to go.
On the other hand, dried flowers cost more because they come in larger formats and a variety of sizes. Add to that the TLC those precious buds get for them to look good when you open your bag of weed. If you’re the type who wants to visually inspect your buds, find pleasure in its aroma, and want to smoke your weed your way, then you’ll have to budget a little more for that extra experience.
Portability
If you’re the type who’s always on-the-go, preroll is your best option. You can take it with you anywhere and smoke (just not out of the province or country!). In a report by Jackson in MJBiz Daily, Custom Cones USA co-founder and CEO Harrison Bard said “they’re (consumers) purchasing (1-gram pre-rolls) for immediate use, They’re going to the store to buy whatever they really want to buy, and they’ll buy a pre-roll and do that right away.”
Meanwhile, if you enjoy smoking with your setup at the comfort of your place, go get your dried flower! While a dried flower requires more getting ready, there’s nothing like having the complete experience of smoking how you like it. Afterall, good things take time.
