Pre-ground cannabis has kind of lost its sparkle—if you know, you know.

Initially, milled weed seemed great to someone new on the green wave: it’s super convenient, no grinder, just scoop, roll, and light up.

As you get more into your cannabis journey, you start noticing the downsides to pre-ground bud. It’s usually drier, less flavorful, and just doesn’t pack the same punch as grinding your own fresh buds do. For that reason, we’re pretty much sold off on any pre-ground weed.

But, every once in a while, a pre-ground stash pleasantly surprises us. Old Pal’s Ready to Roll pre-ground weed is one of those surprises. For us long-time smokers, not just any weed will tickle our fancy. But Old Pal? Consider us tickled. 

Let’s take a deeper look at why we go the Old Pal route when needing already ground cannabis for a smoke session.

Pre-ground weed is cannabis that’s already been ground up before it hits the shelves.

It’s super convenient for quick use—just open the package and you’re set for rolling joints or packing bowls.

While it’s great for saving time, keep in mind that it might not stay fresh as long as whole buds, since grinding exposes more surface area to air, which can degrade its flavors and potency a bit faster.

Pre-ground weed tends to be cheaper mainly because it’s processed in bulk, which cuts down production costs.

It often includes smaller buds and trimmings that aren’t as visually appealing or marketable as whole buds, allowing producers to use the entire plant more efficiently.

Pre-ground weed may lose potency and flavor faster due to increased exposure to air, leading to a lower price point. Essentially, it’s aimed at consumers who prioritize their convenience and cost over premium whole-flower products.

Halfway through the joint, my head started to feel extremely relaxed. This strain isn’t a rapid slapper since you don’t feel the effect right away, but it gradually builds up to hit the spot just perfectly. 

Smoking Old Pal’s weed produces a controllable high that promotes relaxation and an overall feeling of well-being. There is a faint aroma in the package. This smell is hard for me to describe. I’m used to stronger-smelling buds, so I was surprised when this strain didn’t leave the room stinky when I opened the package.

Old Pal’s “shareable flower” is reminiscent of simpler times. Old Pal is one of my favorite new weed brands because it has the most affordable, high-quality cannabis in the country.

You can get indica, sativa, or hybrid strains. Old Pal seeks to bring back the simpler times when you got together with friends to smoke. Back when neighbors knew each other’s names and community was important.

Grab a bag of Old Pal and let it spread like wildfire, as their website says. I couldn’t put it better myself.

Having enough weed to share without worrying too much about it can be a gratifying feeling. With their 1/2 oz. packets, Old Pal satisfies this need. You’ll get a whole half-pound of tenderly treated buds to crush into rolls of pleasure. 

Most of the cheap cannabis on the market comes from white-label marijuana or second-choice buds. I’m talking about the large and the popcorn. Through a collaboration with NLVO Organics, Old Pal has access to experienced and established growers who provide beautiful, potent flowers.

This partnership also allows Old Pal to keep its prices low, ensuring it is among the most affordable high-quality brands available you can find today.

Old Pal describes its cannabis as all-natural, rain-soaked, and sun-kissed. They are not grown indoors. To meet optimal sustainability standards, they’ve designed their plastic bags to be lighter. 

Old Pal is returning us to our origins while also caring for the environment.

Old Pal’s pre-ground cannabis is simple to use since all you have to do is scoop the desired quantity and roll it. The quality is very nice – it is quite fresh and potent.
