Learn about hemp and discover why it makes the perfect paper for pre-roll cones.

Why hemp? To understand hemp paper's fine quality and the properties that make it great for smoking, you have to understand the hemp plant.
This quick read goes over the hemp plant and explores the reasons humans have chosen hemp paper for numerous uses throughout the centuries, including rolling papers.
What Is Hemp Paper?
Hemp paper is paper made from the hemp plant. Next to bamboo, hemp is among the fastest-growing plants on Earth. It can be used for food, fuel, fiber, and also construction.
The Declaration of Independence was even written on it! Hemp is amazing, strong, and versatile, which is why we like to use it to craft our ultra-fine hemp rolling pre-roll cone papers.
What is hemp? Hemp, and marijuana, belong to the botanical class of plants cannabis sativa, and are commonly referred to as cannabis.
Now you may be wondering what’s the difference between hemp and marijuana. Although it shares similar genetics and the iconic cannabis leaf profile, hemp lacks the psychoactive capabilities of its cannabis cousin, marijuana.
Hemp flower is rich in cannabinoids like CBD which are extracted as an oil and used for vaping, skin care, food supplements, and sleeping whereas the hemp stalk is used industrially to make paper, textiles, rope, and building materials.
This is why hemp rolling papers don’t contain any active cannabinoids or other naturally occurring hemp compounds, providing for a pure, ultra-clean smoking experience.
A Brief History: Origins of Hemp
Humans have cultivated hemp for many uses as far back as the first and second centuries BC. We know this from various ancient discoveries in China that date back to at least 2,800 BC.
In 2016, archeological researchers discovered a 2,500-year-old skeleton of a man at a ceremonial burial site in northwestern China who had 13 nearly perfectly preserved fully mature hemp plants laid across his chest and body.
When was hemp paper invented? Hemp paper was first used by the early Western Han Dynasty in ancient China in the first century although some sources suggest hemp paper may date as far back as the 10th century BC in parts of China and Arabia.
From the first century to the fifteenth, hemp paper spread across Asia and Europe, making its way into Korea by 600 BC and Germany by 1300 BC.
Since then, using hemp to make paper had been the norm; at the turn of the 20th century, the US Department of Agriculture was making hemp paper and declared it to be superior to paper made from wood pulp.
Then in 1936, the Marihuana Tax Act outlawed marijuana, cannabis, and hemp altogether, putting a quick end to the US hemp paper industry.
Now, in the modern age hemp is making a comeback in the best way possible with our stylish, premium Buddha-Bhaang™ organic hemp cones made with superb hemp paper.
Why Hemp Rolling Papers?
Hemp has many uses, but it is especially useful for making smoking papers and premium pre-roll cones.
Here are a few great reasons why hemp paper cones give you the perfect, smooth smoke and slow burn you expect from a premium rolling paper.
The wood pulp of trees is used to make paper, but only the cellulose from the pulp is required and other compounds, such as lignin, to be removed to make paper.
While wood pulp is generally around 30% cellulose, hemp contains more than double and is approximately 70% cellulose. Hemp pulp is also lower in lignin, which means less material wasted.
Furthermore, hemp doesn’t require harsh chemicals such as chlorine to make the pulp into paper. Hemp paper is processed using hydrogen peroxide, which is less toxic than other chlorine-based pulp and paper bleaching.
The chemicals used in traditional wood pulp and paper processing are known health and environmental risks; risks not only to the people that work in the wood pulp and paper factories but also to the ecology and environment and humans that live around the factories.
Trees take at least twenty years to be ready for paper. Hemp is ready to make into paper in as little as four months. The choice is quite clear, but in case you need another reason, choosing hemp rolling papers is good for the environment and can help with climate change.
Tree harvesting represents approximately one-third of trees cut down each year for timber and paper making, a leading contributor to global deforestation and climate change.
If everyone switched to hemp papers, we could put a huge dent in global deforestation and reduce its negative impact on the environment. You have to start somewhere, and why not with your rolling papers?
Traditional rolling papers are crafted from paper made using harsh chemicals, dyes, and bleaches. Do you want to smoke that kind of paper? We think you deserve a better rolling paper and smoking experience!
That’s why Buddha-Bhaang™ organic hemp cones are made using only premium organic hemp sourced from France and ethically processed in India and Indonesia. Our organic hemp cones are free from any unwanted contaminants, chemicals, and chlorines for an optimal smoking experience.
