Pre-rolls are the most convenient way to consume cannabis - no grinding, no rolling, no setup. Just spark and enjoy. And Brooklyn's cannabis consumers have strong opinions about quality. This guide covers everything you need to know about buying the best pre-rolls in Brooklyn, including what to look for, which brands to trust, and why Quality Control Dispensary on Coney Island Ave is the go-to stop.
What Makes a Pre-Roll "the Best"?
Not all pre-rolls are created equal. Here's what separates a great pre-roll from a mediocre one:
- Whole flower only - The best brands use top-shelf flower, not shake or trim. At QCD, every brand on our menu uses whole flower.
- Consistent burn - The right grind, moisture content, and paper type all affect how evenly a pre-roll burns. Cheap pre-rolls canoe and run. Quality ones burn clean from start to finish.
- Full terpene profile - Aroma and flavor matter. A quality pre-roll should smell and taste distinctly of its strain.
- Accurate labeling - THC percentage, terpene content, and harvest date should all be on the label. NYS regulations require this; we hold every brand to that standard.
Top Pre-Roll Brands at Quality Control Brooklyn
Jetpacks - Infused Pre-Rolls
Jetpacks became a Brooklyn staple almost immediately. Their kief-infused pre-rolls pack significantly more THC than standard joints - typically 35-45% THC thanks to the infusion. Available in sativa, indica, and hybrid in single and 5-pack formats. If you want the most bang for your dollar in pre-rolls, Jetpacks is consistently the answer.
MFNY - New York Indoor Flower
Marijuana Farms New York (MFNY) sources premium indoor-grown flower and rolls it tight with quality paper. Their pre-rolls feature unique NYS-grown cultivars you will not find everywhere. If you care about terpene expression and strain specificity, MFNY is worth exploring.
Preferred Gardens - Craft Pre-Rolls
Preferred Gardens is a New York State craft cultivator producing small-batch, terpene-forward flower. Their pre-rolls are for people who care about the subtleties of cannabis - aroma, flavor, and the entourage effect. Multi-packs available at QCD.
Standard vs. Infused Pre-Rolls - Which to Choose?
Standard pre-rolls are rolled whole flower - 0.5g to 1g, clear potency, predictable experience. Infused pre-rolls add a concentrate layer - live rosin, kief, distillate, or diamonds - that significantly increases THC content and changes the effect profile. Infused pre-rolls are generally 30-50% more expensive but deliver 2-3x the potency.
If you are new to cannabis or have a lower tolerance, start with a standard pre-roll. If you are an experienced consumer looking for a stronger, more complex experience, infused pre-rolls from Jetpacks or MFNY are the move.
Pre-Roll Sizes: What to Know
- Dogwalkers (0.3g-0.5g) - Perfect for quick solo sessions or when you do not want a full gram
- Standard (0.75g-1g) - The most common size, good for sharing or a full session
- Multi-packs (5-10pk) - Best value per gram, ideal for regular consumers or weekends
