IC Collective has once again solidified its reputation as one of the most consistent, high-quality craft cannabis brands with the launch of their new Quickie pre-rolls. I had the chance to try these firsthand at their exclusive event at Made Gallery, and from the first hit, it was clear that IC is delivering something special with these infused joints.
A Commitment to Purity & Quality
IC Collective has always been known for its meticulous cultivation practices and dedication to producing pure, untainted cannabis. Unlike many companies that rely on remediation processes, which can strip away delicate terpenes and alter the natural profile of the flower, IC remains committed to delivering clean, unaltered, and unremediated products. This ensures that every pre-roll provides the full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes, exactly as nature intended.
Breaking Down the “Quickie”
These .5g pre-rolls are designed for a fast but potent session, combining premium flower with bubble hash to elevate both potency and flavor. The compact size makes them perfect for a quick break without committing to a full joint, but don’t let the size fool you, these hit hard.
The Sweet Sting strain, a cross between Sour Diesel and Cherry Lime Gelato, delivers a bold yet smooth experience. On the first inhale, I immediately picked up bright tangerine citrus notes, followed by a sweet, almost candy-like finish that lingers on the tongue. The smoke is incredibly smooth, with no harshness, allowing the terpene-rich profile to shine through.
Potency & Effects
Testing at 46.02% THC, this pre-roll packs a serious punch, but the high is well-balanced and functional. It’s uplifting without being overwhelming, making it a great daytime smoke. Unlike some high-THC strains that can lean into racy or anxious territory, Sweet Sting delivers a more social, clear-headed, and relaxed buzz, making it ideal for kicking back with friends, sparking creativity, or just enhancing your day.
The 5.23% terpene profile is another standout feature. With a dominant lineup of:
• B-Caryophyllene – Known for its anti-inflammatory and stress-relieving effects
• Linalool – Adds a subtle floral sweetness and promotes relaxation
• Limonene – Brings bright citrus flavors and an uplifting mood boost
• A-Humulene – Contributes to the earthy, herbal undertones
• B-Myrcene – Enhances relaxation and overall body effects
This combination creates an entourage effect, amplifying both the flavor and the effects for a deeply enjoyable session.
Flawless Burn & Experience
One of the biggest tests for any pre-roll is burn quality, and IC Collective nailed it with these. I’ve gone through four Quickies so far, and every single one has burned evenly and smoothly from start to finish. No canoeing, no harshness, just a consistently smooth, flavorful draw all the way through.
Final Thoughts
IC Collective continues to prove why they’re one of the most respected names in craft cannabis. Their no-remediation approach and dedication to quality ensure that every product maintains its full integrity, from flavor to effects. The Quickie pre-rolls are perfect for anyone looking for a quick, potent, and flavorful smoke without sacrificing quality.
These will be hitting dispensaries near you soon, and if you see them on the shelf, don’t hesitate, this is a must-try for any cannabis connoisseur.
