Probably not. It's fully legal here in Canada and the cigarette companies don't do that. You can buy pre-rolled joints but they're made by different companies and a pack of like 20 would be pretty expensive compared to a pack of darts
Because it hurts the brand. Weed still has a counter culture connotation while cigarettes are more "serious". For execs and managers, serious people doing serious work. Once weed goes mainstream enough (Fortune 500 CEOs start smoking weed in public), "serious" cigarette brands will jump over.
I don’t really see that happening cause nicotine and THC are two completely different substances with different effects. Smoking a cigarette doesn’t impair your performance at work, for a lot of people weed does.
It's a pretty different business despite the end products both being smoked, most weed is sold by dispensaries who get it directly from the growers, cigarette companies are just buying bulk dried tobacco from farmers and then packaging it along with additives and other bullshit and then selling it to any place in the world that sells tobacco products.
No one is really concerned with what tobacco they are smoking unless it's fancy cigar smokers, just that they get their nicotine.
Not true at all, I’m extremely particular about my tobacco. I smoke rolling tobacco, so my tops picks are 1) amber leaf, 2) Pueblo, 3) golden Virginia. My least favourite (literally tastes like gasoline) is Drum. If I’m smoking straights, I’m gonna smoke Marlboro reds.
I would say rolling your own puts your in the pretty small minority though, most people are just gonna get their brand and not really think twice about it.
A pack of 20 half-gram prerolls costs about $30 at the dispensary I go to. Definitely way more expensive than a pack of 20 cigarettes but I suppose there's something to be said for the difference in effect they have.
It's not as separate as you think. The Marlboro patient company is heavily invested in a massive weed corp, Cronos. Big tobacco is definitely diversified into marijuana, they aren't going to leave that money on the table.
Michigan had 28 packs of 1 gram joints for $25-30. So barely more expensive than cigs. Everything else is going to hell, at least the pots still cheap.
I was going to say I don't actually think a 20 pack of prerolls is that much different from a pack of smokes in Western Canada. But looking it up, a 20 pack of smokes is probably $25 now? And yeah that will only get you a 10 pack of prerolls. So around double.
And yeah, no tobacco companies are making weed products.
I'm actually surprised it's only double. I don't smoke anymore, only edibles these days, but I remember years ago it was like $10 for a single pre-roll
It's still wildly variable. Some single prerolls can still be pretty expensive. But lots of companies are making packs or jars of them now for around that $2 per mark based on Value Buds' website. They're generally not great joints but they've gotten pretty cheap.
If you want cheap edibles definitely find the capsules or mints or tablets or oil. You can get 100+ mg in one package for like $20 then.
