Why are Pre-Rolls a Thing?
-
Health and Wellness Benefits: Hemp pre-rolls are often made from industrial hemp, which contains high levels of CBD (cannabidiol) and very low levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). CBD is believed to have various potential health benefits, such as reducing anxiety, relieving pain, and aiding in relaxation, without the psychoactive effects associated with THC.
-
Alternative to Tobacco: Some people use hemp pre-rolls as a tobacco alternative. They can provide a similar smoking experience without the nicotine and other harmful chemicals found in traditional cigarettes and tobacco products.
-
Non-Psychoactive: Since hemp pre-rolls contain minimal THC, they don't produce the "high" associated with marijuana. This makes them attractive to individuals who want to experience the potential benefits of cannabis without feeling intoxicated or impaired.
-
Social Acceptance: As the stigma surrounding cannabis decreases, more people are open to trying hemp-derived products. Hemp pre-rolls offer a way for individuals to enjoy the act of smoking while still feeling socially accepted.
-
Natural and Organic Appeal: Many consumers are seeking natural and organic alternatives to various products, including recreational substances. Hemp pre-rolls, being derived from a plant, fit into this category and attract health-conscious individuals.
-
Variety: Hemp pre-rolls are available in different strains and flavors, allowing consumers to choose products that suit their preferences.
How To Roll Your Own Pre-Roll
Making a hemp pre-roll involves preparing the hemp flower, rolling it in a paper, and sealing it to create a smokeable joint. Keep in mind that hemp pre-rolls should comply with local laws and regulations in your area. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make a hemp pre-roll:
Materials you'll need:
- High-quality hemp flower (ensure it contains low THC levels and is legal in your area).
- Rolling papers (unbleached, hemp, or rice papers work well).
- Grinder (optional but recommended for an even grind).
- Filter tips or crutch material (optional but useful for airflow and comfort).
Step-by-step process:
-
Prepare the hemp flower: Start by selecting a high-quality hemp flower with a low THC content. Break off any large stems and remove any seeds or undesirable parts. Properly cured and dried hemp flowers will provide the best smoking experience.
-
Grind the hemp flower (optional): For a smoother burn and even distribution of the hemp, use a grinder to break down the flower into smaller pieces. Avoid grinding it too fine, as this may cause the pre-roll to burn too quickly.
-
Prepare the filter tip (optional): If you're using a filter tip or crutch, take a small piece of thick paper or cardboard and roll it into a cylinder shape. This will act as a mouthpiece and prevent small pieces of hemp from being inhaled.
-
Assemble the pre-roll: Take a rolling paper and hold it with the adhesive strip facing upward and away from you. If you're using a filter tip, place it at one end of the paper, creating a cylindrical shape.
-
Add hemp to the paper: Gently sprinkle the ground hemp flower along the paper's length, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Leave a little space at the end without hemp to make sealing the pre-roll easier.
-
Roll the paper: With your thumbs and index fingers, start rolling the paper back and forth, tucking the hemp under the adhesive strip. Roll the paper up and down to pack the hemp tightly. Use your fingers to shape the pre-roll as needed.
-
Seal the pre-roll: Lick the adhesive strip and continue rolling the paper until it sticks securely. Gently twist the end without hemp to close it off and keep the contents from falling out.
-
Pack the pre-roll (optional): If desired, gently tap the pre-roll on a flat surface to pack the contents more tightly. This can help ensure an even burn and improve airflow.
-
Finish and store: Your hemp pre-roll is now ready to smoke. Place it in a container or a pre-roll tube to keep it fresh and protected until you're ready to use it.
Remember, if you're new to rolling, it might take a few tries to get the hang of it. Practice makes perfect, and once you master the technique, you'll be able to enjoy your homemade hemp pre-rolls at your convenience. Always consume hemp products responsibly and in compliance with local laws and regulations.
