Blair picked up her Verano Swift Lifts Mag Landrace Mini Pre-Roll Pack during a recent trip to GreenHouse Dispensary in Skokie, Illinois. She was treated to great service and picked up her products quickly and without any issues.
Veranos Swift Lifts pre-rolls come in a unique and very convenient metal tin. Press in the sides of the tin, and the top slides off, revealing five pre-rolls evenly spaced on the tray within.
According to Blair, the pre-rolls themselves are easy to light and smoke. They stay lit, and they burn evenly.
While they’re more convenient than loose flower, pre-rolls aren’t the best when it comes to convenience. You need a flame to get them going, and they produce fragrant, thick clouds of smoke that draw everyone’s attention instantly.
Nonetheless, Blair really liked the streamlined aesthetics of her Mag Landrace Swift Lifts Pre-Roll Pack. It was easy to slip in her purse, and it didn’t leave any crumbs behind.
Blair relates that her Verano Swift Lifts Mag Landrace Mini Pre-Roll had a woody, lemony aroma that was pervaded by a dominating note of pepper. As a landrace strain, Mag Landrace should have a relatively simple terpene profile, and based on Blair’s experience, I’d hazard a guess that caryophyllene, humulene, and limonene are all at play.
While other users have said these mid-tier joints are harsh, Blair didn’t have anything negative to say about their flavor. As long as you enjoy woodier, herbal strains, these pre-rolls seem guaranteed to please.
Blair didn’t encounter any significant obstacles between herself and the cannabinoids her Verano Swift Lifts Mag Landrace Mini Pre-Roll contained. Nothing about their reduced length increased the amount of time they took to kick in, and Blair enjoyed the hybrid effects of her pre-rolls within moments.
According to Blair, her Verano Swift Lifts Mag Landrace Mini Pre-Rolls made her feel relaxed but happy at the same time. Like any good hybrid, Mag Landrace made Blair feel stimulated, but it also didn’t throw her into the depths of a tunnel-vision sativa daydream.
Regarding duration, Blair and other reviewers don’t have any complaints. The general consensus appears to be that Swift Lifts last about as long as weed is supposed to — or thereabouts.
Nothing in the Illinois cannabis market comes cheap. Every cannabinoid has a price tag down to the molecule, and the Verano Swift Lifts Mag Landrace Mini Pre-Roll Pack is no exception.
Still, this particular product puts the squeeze on you a little bit less tightly than others. It appears Verano has managed to find the fine line balancing quality with affordability to provide Chicago cannabis users with a reasonably high-quality pre-roll that won’t break the bank.
It’s challenging to split pre-rolls into multiple doses. So, we’d recommend smoking one full pre-roll per session just for the sake of convenience. If you don’t mind crushing your joint’s ember halfway through and stowing it away for later, each Swift Lifts Mag Landrace Pre-Roll contains more than enough THC to get you high twice or even three times over.
Verano is an Illinois-based cannabis company with big ambitions. Recently expanding into three states, Verano is simultaneously the subject of bizarre drug smuggling conspiracy theories involving Whole Foods salad containers and the recipient of a $3 billion overall valuation.
In its Swift Lifts Pre-Rolls, Verano offers a classic product in an acceptably mid-tier fashion. No doubt due to unknowable bureaucratic complexities unique to the Illinois cannabis industry, Verano doesn’t list the strain name on its Illinois pre-rolls, but they’re essentially identical to the pre-rolls Verano offers in other states.
Verano’s Swift Lifts pre-rolls appear to be rolled with hemp paper, and they’re offered in unusually thoughtful packaging. The flavor of Mag Landrace won’t impress any connoisseurs, but Chicago cannabis users disappointed by products that are overpriced but underperform will likely be reasonably satisfied with the Verano Swift Lifts Mag Landrace Mini Pre-Roll Pack.
These pre-rolls are great for anyone in the Chicago area who wants to smoke a few enjoyably solid joints. Nothing in the Illinois recreational cannabis industry is perfect right now, but the Verano Swift Lifts Mag Landrace Mini Pre-Roll Pack is about as good as it gets. Price-wise, this product is more reasonable than some, and its attractive, discreet packaging is definitely worth keeping even after all your joints are smoked.
Let’s clear up any remaining questions you might have about these premium Chicago pre-rolls:
Your guess is as good as mine. A little digging in the fine print reveals these pre-rolls contain Mag Landrace buds, but the reason Verano chose not to clearly label their Illinois Swift Lifts remains a mystery.
Best Dosage’s Blair certainly enjoyed the effects and flavor of her Verano Swift Lifts Mag Landrace Mini Pre-Rolls. Backed by other user reviews, Blair’s testimony places Swift Lifts as among the best pre-rolls available in the Illinois recreational market.
Neither — Mag Landrace is a hybrid strain, making the Illinois Swift Lifts containing this strain balanced somewhere between the indica and sativa ends of the spectrum. According to Best Dosage Chicago’s Blair, these pre-rolls deliver simultaneously euphoric and calming hybrid effect
