How to Choose the Best Pre-Rolled Hemp Joints

Pre-rolled hemp joints have become a convenient, flavorful option for those seeking an alternative to traditional cannabis products. They’re rich in hemp-derived cannabinoids like CBD and available in various strains, flavor profiles, and potencies. But with so many options out there, how do you know which pre-roll is right for you? Let’s break it down.

Understanding Hemp Sourcing and Quality

Hemp quality plays a crucial role in your overall experience. Look for brands that source from reputable farms with transparent growing practices. States like Oregon and Colorado are known for their rigorous agricultural standards and optimal growing conditions.

Choose products free from additives or unwanted chemicals. Brands that offer third-party testing and Certificates of Analysis (COAs) help confirm the integrity and cannabinoid profile of their products.

CBD Content and Cannabinoid Profile

Pre-rolls vary in cannabinoid content. While CBD is often the dominant compound in hemp, other cannabinoids like CBG and CBN may also be present. These contribute to the overall experience but do not produce intoxicating effects.

CBD potency typically falls within these ranges:

• Low CBD (8–12%) – Milder experience, often preferred by those new to hemp.

• Moderate CBD (13–17%) – More noticeable, yet balanced.

• High CBD (18–25%+) – Typically used by those seeking a more robust profile.

Choosing the right potency depends on your tolerance and desired experience.

Terpene Profile: Flavor and Aroma

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in hemp that influence both flavor and scent. They’re what make one strain taste citrusy and another smell earthy or piney.

Some common terpenes include:

• Limonene – Offers bright, citrus notes.

• Myrcene – Often described as earthy or musky.

• Pinene – Known for its refreshing, pine-like aroma.

These natural compounds can affect how a strain feels subjectively—some may seem calming, others invigorating. Choose based on the sensory experience you enjoy most.

Full-Flower vs. Trim or Shake

Pre-rolls are made with either:

• Full-flower – The buds of the hemp plant. Offers the richest aroma, flavor, and cannabinoid content.

• Trim or shake – Leftover material from processing. More affordable and still effective, though often less potent.

Budget-conscious shoppers might opt for trim-based joints, while connoisseurs may prefer full-flower options.

Size and Quantity Options

At Plain Jane, you’ll find pre-rolls in multiple sizes and quantities. If you're new to a strain, single joints let you sample without commitment. Larger multi-packs—like the six-pack sampler—offer variety and value, especially for those who enjoy trying unique flavor blends like Cobbler, Cherry Crème Brûlée, or Pear Blossom.

Price and Value

Prices vary based on quality and content. Full-flower pre-rolls tend to cost more due to higher cannabinoid levels and better flavor profiles. Trim-based joints are more budget-friendly and still provide a good entry point.

For frequent users, bulk options or multi-pack deals can help save money while maintaining product consistency.

Transparency and Brand Reputation

Stick with brands that prioritize transparency. Look for:

• Clear labeling with cannabinoid percentages and strain names

• Third-party lab results confirming potency and purity

• Good customer service and responsive support

• Authentic customer reviews

Buying from a reputable source helps ensure a more reliable and satisfying experience.
