Do you prefer your cannabis with a side of convenience? If so, pre-rolls may be your perfect method of consumption.
Pre-rolls are exactly what they sound like — it’s flower that has already been rolled into a joint for you! However, knowing how to pick them isn’t always so obvious when shopping in New York dispensaries. That’s why we’re here to help with tips for your next pre-roll shopping spree!
Benefits of pre-roll products
For those who don’t feel like taking the time to grind up flower and roll their own joint (or don’t have the necessary skills to do so), pre-rolls are a great solution. They save time, are shareable, and simply require a lighter — no grinder, papers, or tips necessary.
Pre-rolled joints are also an affordable way for consumers to explore different strains or try a new flavor without committing to a larger purchase. You could mix and match three or four different pre-rolls rather than purchasing one-eighth of flower in a single strain — making it possible to find your new go-to brand or favorite flavor.
Types of pre-rolls available in New York dispensaries
There are two main types of pre-rolls available in recreational cannabis dispensaries in New York:
- Flower pre-rolls: these are joints filled with dried, ground cannabis flower.
- Infused pre-rolls: these are joints filled with dried, ground cannabis flower with the addition of a concentrate. This gives the pre-roll a higher potency and a more complex flavor profile compared to those containing flower alone. Some infused pre-rolls are dipped in kief, while others may have a concentrate such as diamonds or bubble hash either mixed in with the flower or sprinkled on top.
Picking pre-rolls in New York dispensaries: what to ask yourself
Since they are so popular, you’ll likely see lots of different pre-roll options when looking at a dispensary menu. This can quickly feel overwhelming — but we’ve compiled a few questions to ask yourself to help you narrow down your options and find that perfect pre-roll for your needs:
Is this dispensary licensed and have these pre-rolls been tested? When you’re looking for pre-rolls in a New York dispensary, one of the most important questions you can ask yourself is, “Is this dispensary licensed?” You want to ensure you’re shopping from a legitimate dispensary with products that have been properly tested according to state guidelines. Here at NICKLZ, we are a fully state-licensed and compliant dispensary and only carry products from brands that are aligned with New York cannabis testing regulations.
What intended mood, feeling, or experience do I want to achieve? Different pre-rolls will have different effects based on their terpene content, potency, and more. Here at NICKLZ, you can filter our online menu by effects such as “uplifted” or “focused” so you can quickly select a pre-roll based on your desired effect.
What is my tolerance level? It’s important to know your inhalation tolerance — for example, some consumers prefer the more intense high that can come with a higher THC percentage, while others prefer milder effects and look for lower amounts of THC in their products. On our menu, you can filter pre-rolls by 0-20%, 20-30%, 30-40%, and 40%+ THC percentages to find your sweet spot.
How many pre-rolls do I need? While pre-rolls commonly come as a single unit, there are also other options depending on how many you’re looking to buy. For example, here at NICKLZ, we have a variety of single pre-rolls as well as multi-unit packs — which are great to bring along when hanging out with friends or adventuring around the city.
