Differences in Rolling Paper

With the massive number of rolling paper varieties and companies on the market today, it’s not a big surprise that some papers contain different types of material. 

Businesses should be aware of the differences in rolling paper as each variety provides a unique smoking experience. Smokers have different tastes, and MJ Wholesale is here to offer a wide selection of rolling papers to satisfy every type of smoker. 

Let’s dive into the makeup of different rolling papers. 

Bleached vs. Unbleached Rolling Paper

Bleached rolling papers result in the paper burning at a slower rate while containing a white appearance. 

But guess what? 

Bleached rolling papers are actually proven to be harmful to your health due to the fact that chemicals such as chlorine and calcium carbonate are applied to the paper during production.

Unbleached papers are made with natural ingredients. The healthiest combination is to select an unbleached paper that’s thin. The thinner the paper, the less smoke you’re inhaling. A couple of additional perks associated with using unbleached papers is a reduction in smell and aftertaste. 

The chemicals present in bleached rolling paper create a noticeable aftertaste for the smoker and smell for those around the smoker. 

It’s no wonder that natural hemp papers such as RAW are dominating the paper market today. Smokers recognize the benefits of using unbleached papers now that they have more options available. 

Rice Rolling Paper

Most rice papers are manufactured using all-natural ingredients with rice as the main or only ingredient. Rice papers tend to be thinner than papers such as bleached papers, which is suitable for the smoker since less paper is being inhaled. As mentioned earlier in the article, the thinner the paper, the less harsh the smoking experience.  

While a thinner paper is easier on a smoker’s lungs, there are some drawbacks. 

The downside of a thinner paper is they tend to require slightly more effort to roll. Thin papers tend to be more vulnerable to weather elements such as rain, so it’s probably best to skip the rice papers if it’s raining outside. 

Organic Rolling Papers

Even though organic papers can refer to rice papers, most of the time, paper enthusiasts are referring to natural papers made from hemp. 

Hemp has made a comeback in the last 25 years and has led to the explosion of hemp-based paper companies such as RAW. We touched on the nature of bleached papers earlier in the article and how they contain chemicals used to slow the paper’s burning. 

Organic papers contain zero chemicals for a healthier, less harsh tasting and smelling smoke. 

Some companies, such as elements, produce papers that can be labeled as organic due to their natural ingredients of rice and sugar to create a burn with no ash. 

Classic Rolling Papers

Classic rolling papers refer to standard sizes of rolling papers that measure 1 ¼ inch. The name classics comes from the fact that 1 ¼ inch rolling papers were the standard rolling paper size offered hundreds of years ago. 

Since the inception of 1 ¼ inch papers, there has been a rolling paper renaissance with various styles and materials offered for smokers.
