Rolling Papers, Trays & More - Page 4

Let the good times roll.

Joints have long been revered for being a fun method of smoking that's easily sharable and iconic. But if you're just jumping into it, the idea of rolling one can be a bit daunting even for many seasoned smokers. You've probably been to many seshes where one person was the designated joint roller, or one just miraculously appeared in your hand with unknown origins.

But like any skill, practice makes perfect. You can check out our quick tutorial guide on the process of hand rolling and do a few practice rolls yourself. Once you get the hang of the process, you'll be the hero of any group sesh.

Not all rolling papers are created equal. They come in different sizes based on length and width, based on how much herb you'd prefer to smoke in one go. 

Papers can also be made out of different materials.

Wood Pulp - The classic. These days, wood pulp papers are considered old school. They're easy to roll and stay lit reliably, but they also burn quickly, they aren't that environmentally friendly, and they can have a harsh taste.

Rice - Rice papers are a favorite among stoner pros. They burn slowly, they're almost tasteless-- and they're very thin. Almost translucent. This also makes them harder to roll and keep lit. But once you get the hang of it, the rewards of rice papers are plentiful and well worth it.

Hemp - Hemp rolling papers are quickly overtaking wood pulp as the most popular material. Sourced from industrial hemp fibers, they are a nice middle ground compared to wood pulp and rice. 

All rolling papers have a strip of adhesive gum to allow the two ends to adhere together. If you've ever seen someone licking a joint, that's what they're trying to activate-- like licking an envelope. 

The gum itself is usually made from the sap of Acacia trees. In order to obtain the sugary sap of the Acacia, producers make incisions in the bark of the tree and extract the sap. Acacia trees are native to semi-desert regions of Africa where the sap is harnessed.
