What are rolling papers?

Rolling papers, also known as joint papers or cigarette papers, are perhaps the most iconic smoking medium of all time! Smokers have been rolling up for centuries. As you can probably guess, rolling papers were originally created for making tobacco cigarettes. However, it wasn't long before they were adopted by legal herb smokers for rolling up joints. Toking up using rolling papers creates a clean and smooth smoking experience that's portable and sharable! 

Buying Rolling Papers? Here's What To Look For

The wide variety of rolling paper options can make even the most seasoned smoker feel a bit overwhelmed. Not to worry, though! We've outlined all the different aspects of rolling papers to look for when purchasing below.

Materials: Rolling papers are made out of a wide variety of materials, all with their own strengths and specialties. Some of the more popular materials that rolling papers are made out of includes:

• Hemp Rolling Papers are made of dried pulp from hemp leaves. They have become the overwhelming favorite of the smoking community in recent years. Hemp papers serve as a great middle ground when it comes to thickness and burn rate. They're all-natural, organic, and environmentally-friendly. Many of the biggest brands, like RAW and Juicy Jays, are made of hemp.
• Rice Rolling Papers, as you'd expect, are made of rice grains. The best rice papers will normally only consist of rice, which has been processed and pressed into paper form. It is a very clean material that is better for your lungs, making it a popular option amongst health-conscious smokers. Despite their thin construction, rice papers burn rather slowly. They also don't interfere with the taste of your dry herb in any way. Rice papers are a little harder to roll, as they're a bit more delicate and harder to grip then other options
• Wood Pulp Papers were the undisputed champ of rolling paper materials for over a century, up until the very recent popularity of hemp rolling papers has threatened to take their throne. These papers are great for beginners and veterans alike. They have an easy-to-handle texture that holds its shape well. While they can vary in thickness, they tend to be on the thicker side with a moderate burn rate. They can come in both bleached and unbleached varieties. All of this being said, these papers aren't that great for the environment, which is an important factor to consider.
• Clear Rolling Papers are made of water, glycerine, and cellophane. In case you were concerned, the "cellophane" is just cellulose naturally-derived from organic sources like cotton, flax, rice, hemp or wood pulp (unlike the chemically-derived cellulose you'd find in industrial plastics). When these papers first rolled onto the scene, they were touted for being "healthier" than other rolling papers. These claims have since gone under some intense scrutiny, and are still up for debate. What these papers are best used for is really their novelty! If you're looking for an interesting and eye-catching way to smoke a jay, these are definitely worth a try. 
• Gold Rolling Papers are a relatively new player to the rolling paper scene that has made quite a splash. These papers are constructed out of edible 24K gold and a hemp base. They're awesome for celebrations and get-togethers, or just for a flashy way to smoke up! In addition to the cool novelty of these pricey papers, they provide a really smooth burn.

Rolling Paper Brands

In an industry as historic and widespread as the rolling paper industry, there is bound to be a lot of different players. Amongst this wealth of options, a select set of companies has risen above the rest. The most popular among these include:
