What Is a Pre-Rolled Joint?

Pre-rolls are ready-to-smoke cannabis products that you can pick up from an online dispensary like the Mood Shop. They’re made with ground cannabis flower and specialized rolling papers, along with a filter at the base of the joint for nice, smooth hits.

These joints come in many different sizes and can contain a wide range of strains, including Indica, Sativa, and hybrid options. Some pre-rolls also include add-ons like a bit of kief or other concentrates for added potency.

What Are the Different Types of Pre-Rolls?

There are multiple varieties of pre-rolls out there, and you can get a totally unique experience with each.

These are some of the most popular types of pre-rolled joints:

Classics

Classic pre-rolls contain nothing other than ground cannabis flower. These are usually the most affordable and accessible joints on the market, and they can vary in quality, size, and THCa and terpene content.

All of the joints in the Mood Shop are technically classics. We use top-quality Futurola rolling papers and some of our best flower to create joints that produce specific moods, including creativity, relaxation, and even arousal.

Infused Pre-Rolls

These joints include ground flower, but they get an extra boost of potency from a concentrate.

Cannabis concentrates are high in cannabinoids like Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC, which can lead to a much more intense high. Some of the most popular concentrates used in pre-rolls are kief, hash, and THC distillate.

We don’t sell infused pre-rolls at Mood, but you can make your own using our flower. We offer a wide range of concentrates, which you can sprinkle into your joint or bowl for an upgraded smoking experience.

You can pick up concentrates like Classic Hash from the Mood Shop and add them to your own joints to increase their potency and unlock new flavors and aromas.

Pre-Rolled Blunts

A blunt is a joint made with tobacco leaf-based paper instead of standard rolling paper. This type of pre-roll can get you a slower burn for a longer-lasting smoke.

Pre-rolled blunts can be infused with concentrates like other joints, but they’re often filled with flower only.

Minis

Mini pre-rolls usually contain much smaller servings of cannabis for something along the lines of a microdose. These joints are ideal for beginners who aren’t familiar with the process of rolling a joint or ready for a more intense high yet.

Which One Is Best for Me?

As you can imagine, the debate over the best type of joint rages on in the world of cannabis. Some weed enthusiasts swear by classic pre-rolls, while others don’t want to smoke anything unless it’s infused with a powerful concentrate.

The best way to figure out which type of joint works best for you is to try all of your options. Starting out with the classic is our top recommendation; they’re the easiest options to find, and we offer multiple high-quality strains in the Mood Shop.

What Are the Perks of Smoking Pre-Rolls?

There are plenty of reasons to give pre-rolls a try. These are a few of the biggest upsides of this method of smoking weed:

The Convenience Factor

Smoking a pre-rolled cone is one of the quickest and simplest ways to get high. Unlike a regular joint — or a bong or pipe, for that matter — all you have to do is light up and inhale.

The convenience of pre-rolls is one of the biggest reasons why many cannabis enthusiasts keep a few of these joints handy at all times. They’re perfect for travel or moments when you just want to enjoy a high without any hassle.

Consistent Quality

Pre-rolled joints are prepared by experts, so you can count on a consistent high every time.

The process for rolling the joints in the Mood Shop is meticulous and precise, and each pre-roll contains the exact same amount of flower down to the smallest degree. It’s difficult to get that same level of precision at home, so if you want a completely consistent experience, pre-rolls might be perfect for you.

Plenty of Options

The pre-roll market is full of versatile options, so there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for the more invigorating high that Sativa produces or the calming high from Indica, you can find a pre-roll that gives you your desired effects.

Many of the pre-rolls in the Mood Shop are hybrids of Indica and Sativa strains, which are carefully cultivated to produce specific effects. With hybrid strains, you get a curated experience that strikes a perfect balance between Indica and Sativa’s unique properties.

Easy To Experiment

Pre-rolls give you access to a small amount of cannabis flower, giving you a chance to try a new strain without breaking the bank.

If you’re interested in experimenting with lots of different types of flower, picking up an eclectic bundle of pre-rolls from the Mood Shop is the way to go. It’s a fantastic way to find out which strain gets you in your ideal mood.

When trying a variety of strains, make sure you keep track of how each one makes you feel. That way, you can figure out which one to order again without any confusion.

No Skill, No Problem

Learning how to roll your own joints is a valuable skill, especially if you’re looking for a satisfying, relaxing ritual to add to your day. However, it’s not for everyone, and some folks find it particularly hard to get the process right.

If you don’t feel confident in your ability to roll a solid joint, our pre-rolls can be incredibly helpful. They’re loaded and rolled by experts who double-check their quality before they ship out to you.

The result is an even-burning joint that might be better than anything you could roll yourself at home — not bragging, just calling it like it is.

How Long Are Pre-Rolls Good For?

In general, cannabis flower has a shelf life of about a year with proper storage. In other words, when you pick up a pre-roll from the Mood Shop, you can light it up months later if you use the right storage container in the meantime.

Storage Methods for Pre-Rolls

Getting that 12 months of freshness out of your flower takes a bit of effort. You’ll need ideal storage conditions to control humidity levels, exposure to direct sunlight, and other factors that can degrade your weed.

Exposure to sunlight is an issue because the UV rays can further the natural process of decarboxylation, which degrades the quality of your weed over time. Decarbing breaks down psychoactive cannabinoids like THC, reducing their potency and making them less fun to smoke.

The best way to store your pre-rolls is in a cool, dry place inside a container with an airtight seal. Mason jars and other glass jars can work well, but the ideal airtight container is opaque — blocking out direct sunlight will help you keep pre-rolled joints fresh for longer.

How To Spot a Moldy Joint

The cannabis plant can grow mold over time, especially when it’s exposed to more humidity than the optimal level. Once mold grows on any cannabis strain, it’s important to toss it out rather than trying to cut off the moldy bits.

Moldy weed has a mildewy smell that is very different from the funky scent of some cannabis flower. In addition, mold growth can discolor flower and change its texture, making it white, fuzzy, and a bit powdery.

FAQs About Pre-Rolls

Q: Are pre-rolls legal?

A: The legal status of pre-rolls and other cannabis goods changed thanks to the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, also known as the Farm Bill.

Under this Bill, cannabis products that contain no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight are classified as hemp, while anything above this threshold is considered marijuana.

While marijuana is still federally illegal in the US, hemp is available in local dispensaries in many states, as well as online from the Mood Shop.

Because of the Farm Bill, you can order your pre-rolls and get them delivered directly to your door if you live in certain parts of the United States.

Q: Why do pre-rolls get moldy?

A: Cannabis flower is an organic material, so it’s liable to grow mold if it’s stored in improper conditions. Lots of humidity and temperature changes can make your pre-rolled joints more susceptible to mold growth, but storing them correctly can help you avoid this nasty issue and keep pre-rolls fresh.

Q: Why isn’t my pre-roll getting me the high I want?

A: If you aren’t noticing major psychoactive effects from a pre-roll, it’s possible that your tolerance for THC has increased.

Regular use of cannabis can boost your tolerance for its psychoactive effects, which means you’ll need more THC to achieve the same high. Taking a short tolerance break — skipping cannabis for about two weeks — can help you get back to your normal threshold for a high.
