To get started, you’ll need some essential tools and materials.
Rolling Papers
Choose high-quality papers like hemp or rice.
Cannabis
Pick your favorite strains.
Grinder
A grinder is key for breaking down your cannabis into even pieces.
Filter Tips
These are optional but helpful. They make the joint easier to hold and prevent bits of cannabis from getting into your mouth.
Rolling Tray
A tray helps keep your workspace tidy. It’s a good surface for grinding, rolling, and catching any loose cannabis.
Packing Tool
Use a small stick or similar object to pack the ground cannabis tightly and evenly into the paper.
Storage
Keep your supplies fresh and safe in airtight containers. This preserves the quality and potency of your cannabis.
Choosing the right cannabis is key to rolling a great pre-roll. The strain you pick affects everything—flavor, potency, and the overall vibe.
Think about what you’re looking for. Want to relax and unwind? Need a creative boost? Or maybe you’re after a balanced experience? Different strains bring different effects:
If you’re new to this, start small. Research strains or try a little before buying more. A moderate THC level is a good starting point—it helps you find your comfort zone without overdoing it.
Once you’re more experienced, you can explore stronger strains or even add a touch of concentrate to your roll for extra flavor and potency. Just go easy to keep the balance right.
We’ve got you covered with a variety of lab-tested, locally-grown cannabis to suit your style. Whether you’re rolling your own or want the convenience of ready-made pre-rolls, you’ll always get quality you can trust.
To roll your own cannabis pre-rolls effectively, it's vital to prepare the cannabis properly. This involves grinding the cannabis to the right consistency and ensuring it goes through the decarboxylation process to activate its compounds.
Grinding the cannabis correctly is crucial for a smooth pre-roll. Start by choosing a high-quality grinder that will break down the flower evenly.
Aim for small, fluffy pieces without turning it into powder. A well-ground batch ensures even burning and a consistent experience.
If you don't have a grinder, you can use scissors or your hands, but this might lead to uneven pieces. Another helpful tip is to avoid packing too tightly, as this can restrict airflow.
The decarboxylation process is necessary to activate the THC in cannabis, allowing you to get the desired effects.
Cannabis naturally contains THCa, a non-psychoactive component that needs heat to convert to THC. Heating the cannabis at a low temperature between 220-245°F (104-118°C) for about 30-45 minutes will activate it.
Our products are properly dried and cured, making the decarboxylation process seamless and effective.
Remember, if your cannabis isn't appropriately decarboxylated, you might not experience the full effects. Keep an eye on the temperature to prevent burning and losing potency.
And now, to the star of the show - the rolling techniques to help take your joint from a sleeping bag to a work of art.
The Classic Cone
The Straight Roll
Properly sealing a pre-roll helps maintain its freshness and ensures a smooth smoking experience. The process involves managing moisture and adhesive, and carefully twisting the tip for a secure seal.
Choosing the right adhesive is key for sealing your pre-roll effectively. Some rolling papers come with a natural gum line, which acts like a glue when moistened.
Using your tongue or a damp sponge, lightly moisten this area. Be careful not to over-wet it, as too much moisture can make the paper soggy and difficult to work with.
Once moistened, press the gum line against the paper to stick it securely. Make sure there are no gaps, which could lead to air leaks.
If your paper doesn't have adhesive, you can use a small amount of honey or corn syrup as an alternative.
It's important to seal the pre-roll tightly enough to keep the contents in place without tearing the paper. A good seal ensures an even burn and preserves the freshness of the contents.
Twisting the tip of your pre-roll is the final step in sealing it properly.
Hold the open end gently between your fingers and twist it carefully to form a small, tight "tail."
This twist not only keeps the cannabis secure but also helps in lighting the pre-roll evenly. If twisted too loosely, the contents might spill out. On the other hand, twisting it too tightly can make it difficult to light or cause uneven burning.
An evenly twisted tip allows the pre-roll to maintain its shape and burn steadily.
Beginner or an experienced roller, this guide has everything you need to perfect your pre-rolls. Take your time, experiment with different techniques, and most importantly—have fun!
Keep practicing, and you’ll be rolling the perfect joint every time.
