What Are Infused Pre-Rolls and Are They Worth It?

If you've shopped for pre-rolls lately, you've probably seen a bunch labeled “infused” and wondered—what’s the difference, and are they actually better?

At Cannavine, we carry a wide variety of infused pre-rolls because, well, a lot of people love them. Whether you're looking for a stronger high, better flavor, or just something new to try, infused joints bring a little extra something to the table. Here’s what you need to know.

What Is an Infused Pre-Roll?

A standard pre-roll is just ground flower rolled and ready to smoke. An infused pre-roll, on the other hand, includes added concentrates—like hash, kief, wax, shatter, or live resin—to boost potency and effects.

Some are infused inside the joint (mixed with the flower), others are coated on the outside, and some do both. You’ll also see brands calling them names like “twaxed,” “diamond-infused,” or “live resin pre-rolls”—all pointing to that extra punch.

Why People Love Them

Infused pre-rolls are popular for a reason. They typically offer:

• Higher potency – Great for seasoned smokers or those with higher tolerance
• More intense flavor and aroma – Especially if live resin or rosin is used
• Slower burn – Thanks to the stickier texture of added concentrates
• Smaller sizes with big effects – A 1g infused pre-roll often hits like a much larger joint

They’re perfect for those nights when you don’t want to roll a second one—or want a single hit to last.

Are They Worth the Price?

Infused pre-rolls usually cost more than standard ones—but you’re paying for the added extract, the stronger effects, and often a more curated smoking experience.

If you're new to them, we suggest starting with a single and working your way up. And if you’re someone who doesn’t finish a whole joint in one sitting? An infused option can give you more bang for your buck in fewer hits.
