Infused pre-rolls have quickly become one of the most sought-after products in Canada’s cannabis market. Designed for those who want something stronger, more flavourful, or just different from a standard joint, infused pre-rolls combine premium flower with powerful cannabis concentrates — offering a next-level experience in both potency and taste.
Whether you’re new to infused products or a seasoned smoker looking to elevate your sessions, understanding the different types of infused pre-rolls can help you find the right fit for your preferences, tolerance, and budget.
What Are Infused Pre-Rolls?
An infused pre-roll is a joint that contains more than just ground cannabis flower. It’s enhanced with concentrates — potent extracts such as kief, hash, rosin, live resin, distillate, or diamonds — to increase both strength and flavour.
The infusion can happen in several ways:
-
Inside the joint: Concentrate is mixed directly into the flower.
-
On the outside: The paper is painted with hash oil or distillate and rolled in kief for extra punch.
-
Combination: Some premium options layer multiple infusion methods for a complex, full-spectrum experience.
The result is a smoother, slower-burning, and far more potent smoke — often boasting THC levels exceeding 30–40%.
Why Infused Pre-Rolls Are Popular in Canada
Infused pre-rolls offer several advantages over traditional joints:
-
Higher potency for experienced consumers.
-
Enhanced flavour and aroma from terpenes and concentrates.
-
Longer, smoother burn due to the added oils or resins.
-
Convenience — no rolling or concentrate prep required.
For many Canadian consumers, they’re a way to enjoy the depth and strength of dabs or concentrates in an accessible, ready-to-smoke form.
The Different Types of Infused Pre-Rolls in Ontario
Not all infused pre-rolls are made the same. Here’s a breakdown of the most common concentrate types used in Canada — each offering a unique experience.
Kief-Infused Pre-Rolls
Kief is the fine, powdery resin that collects from cannabis trichomes. When sprinkled inside or rolled around a joint, it boosts potency and adds a dusty, crystal-coated finish. Expect an earthy, full-bodied smoke with enhanced intensity.
Hash-Infused Pre-Rolls
Made using pressed trichomes, hash has been a traditional cannabis concentrate for centuries. Hash-infused joints deliver rich flavour and a smooth, old-school experience — perfect for those who appreciate classic cannabis character.
Rosin-Infused Pre-Rolls
Rosin is a solventless concentrate made by applying heat and pressure to flower or hash. It’s known for its clean, terpene-forward flavour and purity. Rosin-infused pre-rolls appeal to those who prefer a more natural extraction process.
Live Resin-Infused Pre-Rolls
Live resin is extracted from flash-frozen cannabis, preserving the plant’s full terpene profile for superior aroma and taste. These pre-rolls are extremely flavourful and are often considered the gold standard for connoisseurs who value taste as much as strength.
Wax-Infused Pre-Rolls
Cannabis wax is one of the most potent forms of concentrate, offering dense cannabinoid content. It can be mixed into the flower or layered on the outside for an extra-powerful smoke. Expect heavy potency and a slow, oily burn.
Diamond-Infused Pre-Rolls
Infused with THCA diamonds, these pre-rolls feature one of the strongest concentrate types available. They provide intense potency and crystalline purity — best suited for high-tolerance consumers seeking a serious upgrade.
Distillate-Infused Pre-Rolls
Distillate is a highly refined oil containing pure cannabinoids with minimal flavour. It’s ideal for boosting THC levels without altering taste dramatically, making it one of the most common infusion types on the market.
Terpene-Infused Pre-Rolls
These are enhanced with botanical or cannabis-derived terpenes to amplify aroma and flavour. While not always about higher potency, terpene-infused pre-rolls offer a more sensory, aromatic smoking experience.
CBD-Infused Pre-Rolls
Made with high-CBD flower and extracts, these pre-rolls offer a milder experience. They’re popular among consumers who want a smooth, clear-headed session without strong psychoactive effects.

How to Choose the Right Infused Pre-Roll
When shopping for infused joints in Canada, here’s what to consider:
1. Potency Level
Infused pre-rolls can vary widely in THC content — from mild 20–25% to heavy hitters exceeding 40%. Start with something lighter if you’re new, and gradually explore stronger options.
2. Concentrate Type
Each infusion method impacts flavour, burn rate, and intensity. For instance:
-
Live resin = best flavour
-
Distillate = pure potency
-
Rosin = clean and solventless
-
Kief/hash = traditional texture and balance
3. Quality Indicators
A premium infused pre-roll should burn evenly, smell fresh, and have visible concentration coverage without clumping or sogginess. Check for proper lab testing, transparent cannabinoid profiles, and clean packaging.
4. Brand Reputation
Stick to licensed producers or trusted dispensaries with strong product standards. At Pepe Cannabis, we carry top Canadian brands that deliver consistency, safety, and flavour integrity in every roll.
Infused Pre-Roll Tips for Beginners
If you’re new to infused joints, take it slow.
-
Start with half a pre-roll and wait before continuing.
-
Avoid mixing with alcohol or other substances.
-
Stay hydrated and enjoy the slower burn.
Because infused products can have stronger, longer-lasting effects, pacing is key to having an enjoyable experience.
