If you’ve ever sparked a joint expecting smooth flavour and an even burn—only to end up with a canoeing mess that clogs halfway through—you’re not alone.
Doesn’t matter if you’re just learning how to choose a pre-roll or you’re refining your taste, it pays to understand what separates the best cannabis pre-rolls from the rest.
This pre-roll guide is designed for BC consumers who want more than hype. We’ll walk you through what’s in a pre-roll, how to pick between indica vs sativa pre-rolls (Afghanica and Equatorial), and why full flower pre-rolls offer a better smoke. You’ll also learn what sets craft cannabis pre-rolls—like the ones we make at Victoria Cannabis Company—apart from the mass-produced stuff.
From roll consistency to terpene preservation, we’ll show you exactly what to look for, and how we do it differently.
No guesswork.
No filler.
Just pure BC-grown flower rolled the right way.
Let’s start with the basics.
A great pre-roll starts with what’s inside—and how it’s put together.
Pre-rolls can be made from a few things: full flower (the actual buds you’d buy by the gram), trim (leafy leftovers), or shake (tiny fragments that fall off during packaging).
At VCC, we only use full flower in our pre-rolls—never trim, never shake. Why? Because you wouldn’t settle for mystery meat in your food—don’t settle for mystery flower in your joint.
Most commercial pre-rolls are cones stuffed by vibration machines. The result? The trichomes—those little resin glands that hold most of the cannabinoids and terpenes—get knocked off and lost to the machinery.
Our straight-cut craft pre-rolls are different. They’re rolled with precision using coarse, fresh grind and packed with zero vibration. That means an even burn from tip to crutch (filter), a better draw, and no more crumbling halfway through your sesh.
Choosing the right pre-roll starts with asking: how do I want to feel?
For Relaxing Evenings or Unwinding
If your ideal night includes fuzzy socks, lo-fi beats, and nothing on your schedule, reach for a pre-roll with indica (Afghanica) or calming hybrid genetics.
Crafted from Georgia Pie x Zwish, G-Wagon brings that savoury lime corn chip profile with a slow, body-heavy melt that makes you forget what you were worrying about.
For Social Settings or Daytime Adventures
Need something a bit more sparky for a walk, a market browse, or a catch-up with friends? Equatorial (Sativa) leaning cultivars bring the lift.
This zesty, bright strain is known for its citrus kick and upbeat energy—perfect for when the sesh is social.
For Balanced, Everyday Use
When you want something smooth and versatile—good for day or night, work or chill—a hybrid or terpene-balanced cultivar is your best friend.
Sweet and floral with a lavender note, it’s a rare linalool-dominant strain that delivers clarity and comfort in one puff.
Ukee is a unique cross of Lilac Diesel and Boogie Fruit which gives it a distinctive aroma reminiscent of traditional coastal citrus notes with a spruce tip finish.
If you’re flying solo or want a quick toke, 0.5g singles are ideal. Sharing with friends?
Go for a 1g or multipack so you don’t have to share germs, just joy.
We will level with you, we aren’t always fans of infused pre-rolls. They often are full of ingredients that are less than wholesome and often with cannabis that is less than optimal. That said, there’s definitely a time and a place for an infused pre-roll.

On the other hand, traditional BC craft cannabis has been largely non-infused. It’s that legacy that we most aspire to carry forward. When cannabis is grown with care, the infusion of love, sunshine and Mary Jane are the only infusions you need.
This isn’t mass-market weed. At VCC, we’ve invested in better inputs, better tools, and better practices to bring you joints that deliver what they promise. We care that the hard earned money you spend is respected…we got you.
Straight-Cut Format: No cones. Just clean rolls with dialled airflow and no wasted trichomes.
Small-Batch Only: You can trace our flower from seed to store, and every pre-roll is a reflection of hands-on care.
BC Traditional Craft: We come from the same culture as our customers. We just happen to have a license and a pretty killer grow team whose focus is on the end consumer.
“I’ve always believed the best joint is the one you’d roll for yourself. That’s what we’re trying to recreate with our straight-cuts—only now, we get to share that standard with the whole country.”
— Kyp Rowe, VP Brand Development

What’s actually inside a pre-roll?
A pre-roll contains ground cannabis flower, rolled and ready to smoke. Some pre-rolls also include trim or shake, but Victoria Cannabis Company only uses full-flower inputs—never filler, never leftovers.
How do I know if a pre-roll is made with whole flower?
A pre-roll made with whole flower will burn smoothly, taste vibrant, and list the strain used. At VCC, we clearly label our cultivars and only use hand-trimmed bud from our own crops.
What’s the difference between a cone and a straight-cut joint?
A cone is machine-packed using vibration to stuff flower into a cone-shaped paper. A straight-cut joint is rolled evenly from tip to filter, preserving trichomes and airflow. VCC only produces straight-cut joints because they provide a superior experience.
Do pre-rolls lose THC during production?
Yes, pre-rolls can lose THC if vibration-based packing knocks off trichomes. Straight-cut joints protect those delicate resin glands by avoiding high-impact machinery and reducing handling.
Is a higher THC percentage always better?
No, higher THC doesn’t guarantee a better experience. The full terpene profile, how the flower was cured, and how it’s rolled all impact effects more than THC alone. VCC’s Ukee, for example, is lower in THC but rich in terpinolene and still hits beautifully.
Why does my pre-roll clog or burn unevenly?
Pre-rolls clog or burn unevenly when packed too tightly or inconsistently, especially near the crutch or filter. Our straight-cut joints are rolled with consistent density to prevent blockages and ensure an even draw from start to finish.
Are infused pre-rolls stronger than regular ones?
Infused pre-rolls have added concentrates, so they usually contain more THC. But they often mask the flower’s natural flavour and aroma. VCC focuses on full-flower joints that highlight the cultivar’s unique terpene expression. Our straight cut craft pre-rolls hit like they’re infused and taste like they aren’t.
What’s the best pre-roll for new cannabis consumers?
The best pre-roll for beginners is a low-to-mid THC joint made with balanced terpenes. We often recommend After Eighths—it’s smooth, floral, and calming without being overwhelming.
Can I buy VCC pre-rolls outside of Victoria?
Yes, our pre-rolls are available at select retailers across British Columbia and Ontario. You can also shop directly at our Cannabis store/Farmgate in Victoria.
