Pre-rolls have gotten genuinely interesting in the last two years. What started as a convenience format has become one of the more innovative product categories in the BC legal market. At Coastal Green Dunsmuir Street, we stock the full range, from straightforward singles to infused joints that would not have been possible in the early days of legalization.
An infused pre-roll has a concentrate added to the outside or inside of the joint. Hash oil, live resin, kief coating. This does two things: it raises the overall THC level considerably, and it changes the flavour and burn profile of the whole experience.
Jeeter is a brand our customers ask about by name. Their infused options are consistent and the liquid diamonds versions are genuinely impressive for what they deliver. They are not cheap. But if you are an experienced consumer who wants something that performs above a standard pre-roll, infused is the direction.
For regular-use smokers who want something reliable without the premium price, we stock value packs from producers like Good Supply and Spinach. A three-pack of half-gram joints is a reasonable everyday option that does not feel like a compromise.
The flower inside matters most. Some producers fill pre-rolls with shake and trim, which burns differently and can be harsher. The better producers use the same flower they sell in their bags. We pay attention to this when we choose what goes on the shelf.
Paper quality affects the burn. Most legal market pre-rolls use rice or hemp paper, which burns slower and more evenly than standard rolling papers. Filter tips are standard now. The small details add up to a noticeably different experience.
Wednesday is pre-roll day at Coastal Green Dunsmuir. 15% off everything in the category, all day. We are at 565 Dunsmuir Street in Downtown Vancouver, close to Gastown and a few minutes from the Canada Place waterfront. Open 9AM to 11PM.
At any given time our Dunsmuir Street team has a short list of pre-rolls we are personally recommending. It changes based on what is fresh from the BCLDB allocation and what our budtenders have tried recently. When you come in, ask what is getting the most attention from the team right now. That question consistently leads to better purchases than just scanning the case alone.
We pull pre-rolls that are sitting too long off the floor. Cannabis does not improve with age and pre-rolls especially can dry out and burn harshly if they have been sitting. Fresh is a real differentiator in this category and we treat it as one.
