In cannabis, there’s no shortage of strange terms, from the colorful names given to individual strains to the endless list of slang terms for cannabis products. One of these is “dogwalkers”, which refer to small, compact joints that can be consumed completely in the time it takes to stroll around the block. This guide to dogwalkers covers what you can expect when looking for these pre-rolls in a dispensary and some of the leading brands producing them.
Are Dogwalkers a brand or a product?
There is a Dogwalkers brand of compact pre-rolls, but the term has also become a generic way to refer to any small pre-roll that can be consumed quickly in a single session. Typically, a dogwalker refers to any pre-roll that contains less than a gram; oftentimes, these pre-rolls weigh in at a half-gram.
The brand Dogwalkers Pre-Rolls is owned by Green Thumb Industries and is not yet available in New York. Some dispensaries will point you to mini pre-rolls if you ask for dogwalkers, while others will tell you they don’t carry this specific brand.
