Best Pre Rolls of 2019 in Washington State

by Brianna Newton-Jackson, Hashtag Fremont budtender & outreach lead

Pre rolls are the best on the go treat and one of our favorite ways to consume cannabis. Whether you’re out and about around town, or unwinding after a long day, there’s no need to worry about packing a bowl, because your pre roll is wrapped up and ready to toke!

Pre rolled joints offer a wide selection of growers and strains with all different types of effects and ratios of CBD to THC. I like to think of them as a nice way to explore each strain, like a wine tasting!

After much exploration ourselves, we narrowed it down to our top 5 favorite pre rolls of 2019!

Kiona, Ethiopian Banana CBD

Kiona specializes in sourcing very rare strains of cannabis genetics like this Ethiopian Banana strain, a North African landrace hash plant, and in growing them in the native soil and sun of south central Washington wine country:

Genetic preservation is central to our mission.  In fact, you’ll be hard pressed to find most strains we grow anywhere else in the market. With a few worthy exceptions, we avoid modern poly-hybrids, to purvey unique effects and great lineages from around the world and through the decades. Kiona Tropical & Heirloom Cannabis

Ethiopian Banana is a sativa-dominant hybrid known for its solid 1:1 ratio of CBD to THC. You can expect a mildly heady high that offers focus and relief. This strain leaves your body at ease without being too sedative.

Ethiopian Banana is the perfect daytime toke for those who experience anxiety when they smoke energetic or “heady” varieties of cannabis. This pre roll helps me feel energized, social, and happy, without anxiety clouding the high.

Falcanna, Orange Blossom

Orange Blossom by Falcanna is a hybrid cross of Orange Bud and OG Kush. This strain combines equal feelings of carefree euphoria with calming body and mind effects, making it ideal for leisurely activities. Its tasty aroma is slightly floral with notes of sweet fresh-squeezed oranges. Falcanna puts a lot of love into every pre roll:

Falcanna’s extremely popular pre-rolls are hand packed using 100% perfectly cured flower. Each joint is handled with care to ensure an even burn and smooth inhale. The joints are packaged as 2 x 0.6g in a tube and sealed in our biodegradable bags. Each unit contains a strain specific bookmark-style artwork insert. —Falcanna

With each inhale, you can feel muscles relax, your mind ease, and your creative juices flow. Unwind from your busy day with Falcanna!

Sweetwater Farms, Huckleberry Pie

Joints are the best after-dinner treat! And we know this strain well—in fact, it was one of our top 5 best strains of 2018. Originating in the Pacific Northwest, it was only appropriate that this sweet gem was named after our local fruit, the huckleberry. Here’s what Sweetwater Farms says about their strain selection:

The core group of strains established for Sweetwater Farms have been strategically selected over the past several decades in the Medicinal Marijuana Industry. Our goal was to narrow down the best of the best in regards to high terpene profiles and THC content within a variety of unique lineages. We feel this daunting task has been accomplished and take pride in offering the absolute premier line of cannabis varietals in the state of Washington. —Sweetwater Farms

An extremely smooth and fruity smoke makes this indica-dominant strain a great high to pair with doing whatever makes your heart happy. The effects of this exotic strain are on the milder side, with subtle relaxation that cuts through stress without the cloudiness of most heavy indica strains. Taste the sweet berries and earthy aroma as it melts your body and mind into the perfect state of relaxation.

#1

Avitas, Dragon OG

We love this Avitas strain so much that it placed in Best Cartridges AND Best Pre Rolls of 2019! Avitas makes their pre rolls with their very own premium flower, rolled with all bud all the time.

Our joints are rolled using high-quality buds, and will never include any shake. We use cones with unbleached natural rice paper to ensure consistent burning and optimal flavor.—Avitas Grown

This potent 0.75g joint is the perfect sativa-leaning hybrid buzz to enjoy throughout the day to boost creativity. One puff of the Dragon offers mood-boosting mental stimulation and deeply relaxing body effects. Breathe in sweet notes of lemon zest and pine, and exhale relaxation and social stimulation.

You can order one of each online, pick them up at Hashtag Fremont, and let us know what you thought!
