They contain added concentrates, which usually increases total cannabinoids and can intensify effects significantly compared to flower-only pre rolls.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What\u2019s the difference between kief, hash, live resin, and diamonds in a pre roll?<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Kief<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: loose trichomes, a classic potency boost.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Hash<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: compressed or separated trichomes, often fuller-bodied and \u201cfull-spectrum.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Live resin<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: terpene-rich extract from fresh-frozen cannabis, often very flavorful.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Diamonds<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: high-THCA crystals (often with sauce), typically the highest potency style.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Do infused pre rolls get you higher or just taste better?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually both.
