The tastiest pre-rolls in Canada for Labor Day ’22

You don’t have to look far to find a delicious pre-roll in Canada. As licensed producers focus on what Canadians are asking of the legal weed market and streamline their offerings, access to delicious strains in convenient forms continues to grow.

Headset found that pre-rolls make up 27% of the Canadian weed market, second only to dried flower.

Pre-roll sales in Canada have nearly doubled since 2020, according to Seattle-based Headset, a cannabis data-tracking company that collects cannabis statistics from the country’s larger markets, including Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan.

If you’re already a fan of pre-rolls, this probably comes as no surprise. Ready-to-smoke weed is incredibly convenient, easy to carry, and relatively discreet.

To celebrate the last long weekend of summer ’22 (buu hoo), we’ve rounded up eight of the tastiest pre-rolls in Canada and categorized them into three sections – infusions, singles and packs – so there’s something for every smoker.

Read on and find your perfect high this Labor Day.

Infused Pre-Rolls

Infused pre-rolls come in a variety of flavors, such as kief-coated or mixed with hash. They’re still a new product offering in Canada, and as such there are kinks that need to be worked through. One of the biggest challenges is that infused pre-rolls tend to clog as the extracts burn.

Pro Tip: Poke near the filter with a needle or needle stick to smooth the burn. Regardless of kinks, infused pre-rolled joints can be incredibly effective and delicious.

Brand: Shatterizer

Licensed Producer: Mera Cannabis Corp.

THC: 31.50 – 39.50% | 315.00 – 395.00 mg/g

CBD: 0.00 – 6.00% | 0.00 – 60.00 mg/g

Shatterizer’s 8 Ball Kush Shatter Double Infused Pre-Roll uses 8 Ball Kush buds infused with 8 Ball Kush Shatter, packed into a joint, and then rolled in kief.

This indica-dominant joint is a triple weed whammy that’s very, very potent. The main terpe is humulene, which exudes earthy aromas with subtle aromas of wood, spice, and musky. It is an ideal taste and high for spending relaxing time in nature.

Brand: General Approval

Licensed producer: Decibel Cannabis

THC: 32.00 – 40.00% | 320.00 – 400.00 mg/g

CBD: 0.00 – 2.00% | 0.00 – 20.00 mg/g

General Admission’s addition to the infused pre-roll range is a bold fruit forward joint that burns well. The taste, which contains terpenes like beta-pinene, caryophyllene, limonene, linalool, and myrcene, is truly unique.

The sweet notes of stone fruit are reminiscent of a peach ring gummy bear. The high is hiiiiiiig and intense and not for inexperienced smokers.

Multipacks with pre-rolls

Brand: Edison Cannabis Co.

Licensed Manufacturer: Organigram

THC: 19.00 – 25.50% | 190.00 – 255.00 mg/g

CBD: 0.00 – 1.00% | 0.00 – 10.00 mg/g

Edison ground and rolled his fan-favorite Limelight flower, which is his version of Ultra Sour, the love child of MK Ultra and East Coast Sour Diesel. These pinners weigh a convenient half a gram per joint, making them perfect for a solo session, but prepare to curl.

This strain is as flavorful and tart as it is delicious, thanks to terpenes like beta-pinene, caryophyllene, humulene, and of course, limonene. These high-potency sativa-dominant joints come packaged in a reusable hard case that you can reuse or conveniently toss in the recycling bin.

Platinum Garlic 3-Pack

Brand: Broken Coast

Licensed Producer: Tilray

THC: 19.00 – 26.00% | 190.00 – 260.00 mg/g

CBD: 0.00 – 1.00% | 0.00 – 10.00 mg/g

After something that ticks both the “sweet” and “savory” boxes? Broken Coast’s Platinum Garlic Pre-Rolls hit the spot. Dark, rich green with deep purple hues and notable sticky trichomes, the hybrid bud has been ground to perfection for your pre-rolled joints.

The sharp garlic and onion flavor is balanced by notes of vanilla sweetness. Expect terpenes like caryophyllene, myrcene, and terpinolene. Broken Coast grows indoors in small batches and hand trims everything, so the greens you get in each joint will be really good.

Station House Flavor 12-Pack

Brand: Bahnhofshaus

Licensed manufacturer: Sensi Brands

THC: 18.00 – 22.00% | 180.00 – 220.00 mg/g

CBD: 0.00 – 1.00% | 0.00 – 10.00 mg/g

Station House does things a little differently by offering a flavor pack that lets you sample two different pre-packaged flavors. Each pack contains 12 pre-rolled half gram joints, including six Pink Kush and six Blue Dream.

It’s a refreshing twist on the pre-rolled pack, giving stoners a choice of smokers depending on their mood and desired effects. Also, each of Station House’s variety packs comes with a humidification device inside the container to keep the jays fresh.

Supercharged Duubyz Sativa 3-Pack

Brand: Cruuzy

Licensed manufacturer: Galaxie Brands Corporation

THC: 27.00 – 35.00% 270.00 – 350.00 mg/g

CBD: 0.00 – 1.99% 0.00 – 19.90 mg/g

Another infused option worth trying, these Cruuzy sativa-dominant pre-rolls come in a 3-pack at 0.5g per joint. As previously mentioned, it can sometimes be frustrating to burn infused pre-rolls as the added resin or kief doesn’t always burn smoothly as flower alone.

However, with a little patience, you’ll be roasted in no time. Cruuzy’s Supercharged Duubyz are infused with the brand’s rosin to produce a delightful and delicious high. It’s one of the stronger THC pre-rolled joints on this list, making it ideal for heavy users who want something that hits hard.

Individual pre-rolls

Cookies London Pound Cake Pre-Roll

Brand: Cookies Canada

Licensed Producer: Noya Cannabis

THC: 19.00 – 25.00% | 190.00 – 250.00 mg/g

CBD: 0.00 – 2.00% | 0.00 – 20.00 mg/g

If you’re buying a single pre-rolled joint, the upfront cost can seem high – across Canada, most 1g single pre-rolls are around $15 and up – but you may find that after a few sessions you’ll find it worth it enjoy what makes it easier for you wallet.

Cookies’ individual pre-rolled blunts come in a few flavor options including the 1g London Pound Cake. This aromatic flower has a sweet taste of blueberry and lemongrass, although you’ll also notice the familiar musky notes of humulene root. It’s a solid choice that burns relatively well for such a chonky pre-roll.

Headband Pre-Roll

Brand: Pure Sunfarms

Licensed producer: Pure Sunfarms

THC: 17.00 – 23.00% 170.00 – 230.00 mg/g

CBD: 0.00 – 1.00% 0.00 – 10.00 mg/g

Another notable hybrid: Pure Sunfarms Headband Single Pre-Roll. A cross between OG Kush and Sour Diesel, Headband is a flavorful strain that has a taste of Diesel, spiced biscuit (from the caryophyllene terpenes) and a gentle floral note of lavender from the linalool roots.

There’s also a welcome hint of lemon that lingers towards the end. High in THC, she’s the perfect blunt to sit by the docks and dangle your feet in the lake.
