Trulieve Pre-Rolls: The Half-Baked Experience
When it comes to the world of medical marijuana, Trulieve has positioned itself as the behemoth of dispensaries, especially for those of us here in Florida. With their vast selection of products and a reputation that precedes them, you’d expect them to get one thing right: pre-roll joints. After all, the point of a pre-roll is convenience. We all know the drill—buy your medicinal flower in bulk, grab a few pre-rolls for those on-the-go moments when you just need a quick puff without the hassle. But here’s the rub: when it comes to Trulieve’s pre-rolls, only about 50% of them actually smoke as intended.
Yes, you read that right. Half of the pre-rolls you buy from Trulieve are more like “pre-duds.” It’s a gamble every time you light one up. Will it smoke smoothly? Or will you be met with the frustration of a joint that refuses to burn? It’s a problem that leaves you staring at your lighter, wondering what exactly went wrong. Is it the weed? The rolling method? Some sort of cruel cosmic joke? Unfortunately, it’s probably none of the above and more to do with their apparent mass production method that just doesn’t work.
Let’s break this down. For a pre-roll to smoke right, it needs to be filled with properly dried and ground flower. If it’s better bud, it needs a good shake-up to loosen those sticky trichomes. Then comes the packing—this is where Trulieve seems to miss the mark. Whether it’s by machine or hand, packing a joint is an art. It needs to be even and firm, but not so tight that it restricts airflow. But Trulieve’s pre-rolls often feel underfilled, poorly packed, and inconsistently rolled. It’s as if they’ve outsourced their pre-roll production to someone who thinks “packing” means gently tossing some weed into paper and hoping for the best.
And it gets worse. When you get one of the 50% that doesn’t smoke right, you’re forced into joint surgery. You know the procedure: unwrap the paper, salvage what flower you can, and then roll it yourself. Congratulations! You’ve just paid a premium price for a DIY rolling kit. This is not what you sign up for when you buy pre-rolls, especially not from the largest dispensary in the state. Trulieve, if you’re listening, you can do better. You should do better.
Trulieve’s pre-rolls aren’t cheap, either. For the price you pay, you’d expect a product that works at least most of the time, if not all the time. But with a failure rate of about 50%, it leaves you questioning the value. It’s an unsustainable practice for a company as large and reputable as Trulieve. They have the resources to perfect this process, but for some reason, they seem content with pumping out half-baked joints. It’s a disappointing experience that leaves customers frustrated and feeling a bit short-changed.
In The End, We’re Left With The Reality That Trulieve’s Pre-rolls Are A Gamble
If you’re in a rush and need a quick smoke, sure, you can grab a few, but just know that only half of them might work. And if they don’t, well, you’d better have your rolling skills handy. It’s time for Trulieve to step up their pre-roll game – because for a brand this big, serving up half-functional products is just blowing smoke in all our faces.
