Cannabis Flower Types: Whole, Ground, and Pre-Rolled 

Legal cannabis is gaining popularity, but what is the ideal packaging for dry cannabis? Find out more about the consumption of whole flower, milled flower, and pre-rolls, as well as how to choose the format that works best for you.

Cannabis is available in three primary forms after harvesting, drying, and curing: whole flower, milled flower, and pre-rolls. Although the plant is the same, each format has a different method of processing and consuming it. Since each customer is different, how can you determine which format is ideal for you?

Let’s examine the fundamentals of whole flower, milled flower, and pre-rolled cannabis to see how they vary and why.

What is a complete flower?
Cannabis that has been collected, dried, and cured but whose buds have not been removed is referred to as dried flower or entire flower. On social media, we’ve all seen those gorgeous whole-nug photos—sticky, terpy, spongy, and coated with trichomes and pistils. Whole cannabis flowers have two benefits: When grinding it for use, users may adjust the coarseness or fineness while maintaining all of the terpenes, trichomes, and cannabinoids. To put it simply, entire flowers are often the freshest, strongest, and most flavorful.

The manufacturing process determines the physical characteristics of the whole bloom. Cannabis’s color, texture, density, scent, and general effects are all impacted by the processes of harvesting, drying, and curing. For a more craft-cannabis approach, some Licensed Producers hand-trim and hang-dry their cannabis in tiny quantities, while others employ sophisticated machinery to prepare the cannabis for sale.

Flower is available in 1-gram, 3.5-gram, 7-gram, 14-gram, and 28-gram forms in child-proof, tamper-resistant packaging, and is often identified by its strains (indica, sativa, or hybrid). Cannabis flower may be found on OCS.ca under the Dried Cannabis section.
Milled flower: what is it?


Simply said, milled cannabis is dried flower that has been pulverized before being packaged; it is more affordable and handy than whole flower. Although it is more convenient than whole flower since there is no need to process the cannabis, milling might cause cannabinoids to break down more quickly. Despite this, milled flower is widely available in Canada under a number of different labels.

The substance may be rolled into a joint or put directly into a bong or vaporizer. In contrast to entire flower, there is no industry standard for coarseness and customers have little influence over the grind’s density. This implies that certain manufacturers provide milled flower that is more coarsely powdered, while other goods may be finer.

Always use the whole flower while milling cannabis; never cut, shake, or remove stems. Single-strain milling choices are available from some manufacturers, which means that just one kind of cannabis flower is used in the product. Others may blend a number of related strains to provide a strain-neutral, affordable indica or sativa alternative. Packages of 7 grams, 14 grams, and 28 grams of milled cannabis are available.

How to eat milled and whole flowers
Using a grinder or scissors, the whole flower should be split up before being vaped or smoked with various devices. Cannabis flower that has been ground before consumption promotes air circulation and produces a smoother smoke or vapor. No more tools are required to break down milled flower since it is already ground and ready to eat.
Depending on your tastes, there are many methods to take dried cannabis.

Vaporizer for dry herbs
These sophisticated machines heat complete cannabis flowers to release their cannabinoids in a smokeless vapor. They reduce the negative health effects of smoking and may be recharged and used again and again.

A thin, flammable paper (such as hemp, rice, soy, flax, etc.) is used to roll the flower and burn it.

Blunts
A thicker, cigar-like wrap, usually made of hemp, is used to roll cannabis.

Pipes: Flower is smoked by inhaling it from single-use bowls. Although glass is the most common material for pipes, they may also be constructed of metal or ceramic.

Bongs
Bongs, sometimes referred to as water pipes, allow cannabis smoke to percolate through water prior to inhalation.


Pre-rolls: what are they?

Pre-rolls are cannabis products that are ready to be consumed right away; all you need is a lighter. There are three types of them: infused pre-rolls, blunts, and joints. Making your own requires a certain amount of ability and agility; pre-rolls are a convenient and fast substitute.

Pre-rolls are available in a number of formats: Pre-rolls are often made of ground cannabis flower that has been wrapped in paper or a cone and is ready to smoke. Similar to pre-rolls, blunts are produced with a thicker, cigar-like wrap made of hemp (legal blunts in Canada are not manufactured with tobacco leaf) in place of paper. Joints containing cannabis flower and an additional concentrate for flavor and strength are known as infused pre-rolls. Diamonds, kief, shatter, live resin, or any kind of cannabis concentrate may be added to pre-rolls.

The total experience is enhanced by the various sizes, strains, rolling papers, and filters. A flat fold or a twisted tip? Hemp paper or blunt wrap? Paper or glass filter? Is it infused or regular? Like milled flower, some pre-rolls are combined indica or sativa, while others are strain-specific.

Pre-rolls range in size from 0.35 to 2 grams and may be purchased alone or in several packs.

How pre-rolls should be consumed
All you actually need is a lighter since this product is already coiled and ready. You may attempt a “dry pull” by inhaling before the joint is smoked in order to feel the terpenes and flavonoids. The stubbed-out butts of a completed pre-roll, known as roaches, have a strong odor. Smell-proof devices are available to avoid litter and covertly store pre-rolls and spent filters without releasing an unpleasant odor.

Things to look for when purchasing dried cannabis
Think about the flower first when choosing a cannabis product. What flavors, effects, and aromas are you seeking? The strength, flavor, aroma, and overall experience are all influenced by terpenes and cannabinoids. However, selecting the ideal product involves a lot of additional considerations outside just the cannabis itself.

• Level of skill
  You may prefer a more processed choice, like as pre-rolls or milled cannabis, if you’re new to making cannabis joints.
  
• Add-ons
  It matters what tools you have available. A pre-roll is perhaps the best option if all you have is a lighter. Customers that use bongs or vaporizers will probably favor whole or ground cannabis flowers.
  
• Action
  Were you aware that pre-rolls weighing 0.35 grams are known as “dog-walkers”? Another important consideration is what you want to accomplish while ingesting. You could want a complete flower for your alone time at home and a bundle of pre-rolls for a get-together.
  
• Practicality
  The difference between whole flower, milled, and pre-rolls may also be determined by basic time and effort.

Dried cannabis is available in a range of strains, sizes, and potencies as pre-rolls, milled, and whole flower. To find out how much THC and CBD a cannabis product contains, check the label or the details on the product page at OCS.ca before buying it.

Things to consider when buying pre-rolls, milled flowers, or entire flowers
Although inhaling cannabis is a common method of consumption, there are several factors to take into account before smoking. Inhaling heated cannabis smoke or vapor causes the cannabinoids to enter your lungs and enter your bloodstream. Although the benefits of cannabis are often felt rapidly, there are risks associated with the approach.

There is strong evidence that many of the chemicals that cause cancer are also present in smoke from burning cannabis. Additionally, there is strong evidence that regular cannabis use causes precancerous lesions in the airways. Secondhand smoke exposure is equally dangerous, but by smoking cannabis away from other people, you may lower their risk.

The misconception that deeper or longer inhalations provide more potent effects should also be noted. Holding your breath won’t affect the THC’s absorption into your system, which happens in a matter of seconds.
