Diving into Ravens View Genetics’ (RVG) Pre-Roll Variety Pack, my immediate reaction is as follows: elegant packaging, color-coded joints, and a diverse spectrum of effects—where sophistication meets substance.
Right off the bat, I couldn’t help but be drawn to the elegant packaging of the RVG variety pack. It was my first encounter with a variety pack of pre-rolls, and the beautiful carton and color-coded joints added to the allure. Each pre-roll, a half-gram in weight, offered one of four strains carefully crafted by RVG.

Ravens View Genetics Pre-Roll Variety Pack
Embracing a gentle approach, these pre-rolls offer a departure from the high-THC experiences often sought after. Instead, they invite consumers to discover the beauty of delicate flavors and nuanced effects. With robust terpene profiles, each strain offered delightfully different effects, adding therapeutic layers to the nature of the high. Each pre-roll in the four-pack is 0.5 grams, and the entire collection is priced at $40.68.
Join me as I delve into each pre-roll and what they have to offer.

Final thoughts
Each variety pack includes test results on the back. The Certificate of Analysis (COA) for the variety pack indicates a total THC content of 19.85% or 198.5 mg/g for a total of 397 mg per 2 g container. When adding up the individual advertised content of each joint, it totals 367 mg, which is slightly lower than what the COA confirms. But it’s still within the recommended +/- 10% range that experts recommend.
While not exceptionally high, this THC percentage promises a satisfying experience for both novice and seasoned consumers. Moreover, the total cannabinoids are reported at 24.14% or 241.4 mg/g, hinting at a well-rounded experience and likely-to-be-rich entourage effect.
Functioning as a seal of quality, the COA provides detailed insights into the composition of cannabis products, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and containment tests. This COA confirms compliance with rigorous safety standards and confirms the pre-rolls passed tests for pesticides, heavy metals, mycotoxins, residual solvents, and more.
