Researchers might have finally cracked the code on rolling the perfect marijuana joint.
As pre-rolled joints take over a larger share of the legal cannabis market, scientists at a Delic Labs, a Vancouver-based marijuana and psilocybin research facility, recently conducted a novel experiment to discover how the size of the ground-up cannabis flower affects a consumer’s experience.
They took marijuana broken up into one-, three- and five-millimeter-diameter grounds, packed three grams into commercially available pre-rolled papers and artificially smoked them using a “smoke cycle simulator” device that inhaled several times at a consistent rate while the resulting smoke was analyzed for the cannabinoid concentration at different stages of consumption.
The study, which was presented in a 4:20 PM session at the Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition in Vancouver last month, found that the 1mm cannabis grounds produced the most potent hit, with the highest levels of cannabinoids like THC and CBD. But they also smoked the fastest, with the 5mm joints producing the longest-lasting experience.

“Variability observed suggests the importance of improving joint architecture for better consumer experiences,” a powerpoint slide displayed at the conference says.
At 1mm cannabis diameter, the joints produced an average of 0.67mg
