Pre-Roll Glossary

Welcome to the Pre-Roll Glossary. Cannabis, especially in the form of pre-rolls, comes with its own unique language—a mix of tradition, innovation, and culture that’s always evolving. Whether you're mastering the art of the perfect roll or just exploring the basics, this guide will have you talking shop in no time.

  • Term
    Definition
  • Proper airflow ensures that your joint burns evenly, delivers consistent hits, and gives you the full flavor and effect of your flower. Roll a joint too tight, and you’ll be sucking like you’re trying to get a milkshake through a coffee stirrer. Too loose, and you might as well be puffing on a cardboard tube.
  • Ensuring that every joint in a production batch is identical in quality and weight. Consistency builds trust and satisfaction among customers.
  • RollPros’ flagship joint-rolling machine. AKA the only automated joint-rolling machine. If there’s one term to know from this entire glossary, you’ve found it.
  • A blunt is kind of like the “cigar” of the cannabis world. It’s generally made from a much heavier wrapper than a pre-roll, and is usually much bigger than a typical pre-roll. Traditionally, blunts were made from cigars with the tobacco removed.
  • Think of this as your joint’s supply reel. It's a roll of paper used in the Blackbird to ensure that every pre-roll gets a perfect wrap. A smart replacement for cones.
  • A water-cooled superhighway for your smoke. The journey starts in the bowl and takes a dip before it hits your lungs, delivering a smooth, cool hit with every pull - depending on the cleanliness and design of your device.
  • Low-grade, poor quality cannabis. Definitely not the stuff you want in a high-quality joint.
  • The art of combustion. Whether it's a slow, even burn or a runaway canoe, how your joint burns can make or break the experience.
  • The magical compounds in cannabis that make you feel things. THC, CBD, CBG.
  • When your joint decides to burn unevenly, creating a side pocket that makes it look like a tiny canoe. Not ideal unless you’re trying to turn your smoke session into a rescue mission.
  • Cannabis’ chill little cousin. It's like THC’s mellow sibling, offering some of the benefits without the buzz. Perfect for when you want some cannabis without the high.
  • The lazy person's joint. Perfect for those who can’t roll to save their life. Just pack and smoke. But beware: cones can burn unevenly, kind of like that rusty old grill you keep outside.
  • The kissing part of the joint. This is where your lips go. It’s like the training wheels of your joint, keeping your draws free from bits of flower. Think paper, glass, or ceramic – basically anything that keeps your tokes smooth and classy.
  • Helps you pick the perfect crutch size for your joints. Because nobody likes a floppy joint, and this tool ensures it’s just right. Yes, it looks like a lightsaber.
  • The cannabis candy store. It's where you go to pick up everything from flower to pre-rolls to edibles, all neatly packaged and ready to go.
  • A small joint, usually .35g or smaller. Called a dogwalker because you can smoke it in the time it takes to walk your dog around the block.
  • A small, often airtight container that keeps your pre-rolls fresh and odor-free. It’s like a little submarine for your joints.
  • Another of the many, many slang terms for a joint.
  • The airflow through a joint.
  • The ultimate quality control for your joint’s airflow. It’s like giving your pre-roll a breathalyzer test to ensure a smooth, satisfying draw every time. No one likes a clogged joint, right?
  • A method of closing the end of a cone that involves folding rather than twisting.
  • Cannabis in snack form. Edibles are the slow-burners, offering a longer-lasting, body-focused high that creeps up on you when you least expect it.
  • A joint that is coated in a type of oil (usually distillate) and then rolled in kief. Firecracker joints have a fuzzy appearance.
  • Flip top boxes are a multi-pack packaging format similar in style to most traditional cigarette boxes. They are usually made in slim (5-pack) or standard (10 or 12 pack) sizes.
  • The superstar of the pre-roll show. This is the actual cannabis bud, the thing you grind up to turn your day from drab to fab. The better the flower, the better the vibe.
  • Size matters, at least when it comes to grinding your weed. Too fine, and you’re smoking dust; too coarse, and you’re puffing on boulders. Aim for Goldilocks-level perfection: just right.
  • A tool used to break down cannabis flower into smaller pieces to be used in joints. Part of the pre-roll manufacturing process.
  • The artisanal approach to joint making. Sure, it’s more work, but for many, it’s a labor of love. Think of it as the craft beer of the cannabis world.
  • Hash hole joints are joints with a void running through the center that is filled with hash or a concentrate of some type. They are a subcategory of infused joints and are usually much stronger than a flower-only joint.
  • Cannabis' industrious sibling. Used for everything from ropes to clothes, and yes, even rolling papers. It's the eco-friendly, multi-talented overachiever of the cannabis world.

  • This is where the magic begins. The hopper feeds your flower into the machine, ensuring a steady supply for consistent pre-roll production.

  • Injection infusion is an infusion method where an extract is literally injected into the center of a joint. This is the infusion style used to create hash hole joints.
  • The classic, the OG, the one that started it all. A rolled cannabis cigarette that’s been sparking joy (and creativity) for decades. It’s like the little black dress of weed – always in style.
  • The fairy dust of cannabis. Those tiny, sticky crystals that collect in your grinder. Sprinkle some on your pre-roll, and you’re in for a magical ride.
  • Think of it as a Roomba for your joint-rolling machine. The KiefVac vacuums up all those precious kief particles, keeping your Blackbird clean and your stash plentiful.
  • The VIP of cannabis strains (see “Indica”). Known for its relaxing, body-heavy effects, Kush is the go-to for those looking to unwind and melt into the couch.
  • The star ingredient in your pre-roll. Whether it’s flower, trim, or some magical mix, this is what gets you high. Choose wisely, smoke happily.
  • In cannabis, moisture content refers to the amount of moisture in the flower. Usually, higher-moisture flower is desirable because it provides more flavor, scent, cannabinoids and terpenes than dryer flower.
  • Ensures your flower is at the perfect moisture level for rolling. Too dry or too wet, and you’ve got a problem. This gadget makes sure it’s just right.
  • Why stop at one? A multi-pack gives you several pre-rolls in one go, perfect for stocking up or sharing with the squad.
  • The unsung hero of the joint. Whether it's hemp, rice, or natural unbleached, the paper is what holds it all together. Choose wisely to enhance flavor and burn quality.

  • Because sometimes, you just don’t have time to wait. SuperSpeed technology allows your Blackbird machine to crank out pre-rolls at lightning speed without compromising quality. Think of it as the fast lane of joint production.
  • A method used in cone-based pre-roll production where the ground flower is repeatedly pounded with a piston into the large end of a cone.
  • These aromatic compounds give each strain its unique smell and contribute to the overall experience by influencing effects.
  • The universal language of cannabis. To take a hit, enjoy a puff, or pass the joint around. It’s how we share the love.
  • The extra leaves cut off around the flower that contain less terpenes and cannabinoids than the flower itself. Considered an inferior product with less value than flower. Quality pre-rolls use little to no trim.
  • The patented technology at the heart of the RollPros Blackbird based on radial compaction to roll the joint similar to a joint rolled by hand. The TruRoll mark is an indicator of quality only used on high-quality joints produced by the Blackbird.

  • A table on which cones filled with dried flower are vibrated in an attempt to create an even density of flower throughout the cone. An antiquated method of small-scale pre-roll manufacturing.
