A Langara research team is investigating pre-rolled joints in the search to make them more consistent
Ongoing work at Langara College’s Applied Research Centre has brought researchers one step closer to creating the perfect pre-rolled joint.
One of the projects within the Applied Science for the Canadian Cannabis Industry (ASCCI) initiative studies the production of pre-rolls. Cannabis researcher Markus Roggen said this is “cutting-edge research” in the cannabis sector. He said that while other companies test the cannabis before consumption, “they don’t test the consumption itself.”
He said that the research goal is for “every joint to behave the same,” as current pre-rolls provide an inconsistent experience.
“If you smoke the same joint five times, you’ll see that they behave slightly differently, burn slightly differently,” Roggen said. “You don’t see that with a cigarette.”
Cannabis producer Pure Sunfarms and Langara College began their collaborative study on pre-rolls in January of this year. It is part of the five-year ASCCI project established in 2021, which aims to research and develop innovations for cannabis use and production.
