Pre-Rolled Cones & Rolling Papers

Pre-rolled cones are an easy and convenient way to enjoy your ground flower. All you need to do is ground up your herb, load up, twist the end of the joint, and light up. Pre-rolled cones come in different sizes, and some even come flavored.

Pre-Rolled Cone Sizes:

• Minis – Smaller than your standard-sized 1¼ cones, measuring between 60mm and 77mm. These cones are those looking for a high but don’t want to overdo it.  
• 1¼ - This pre-rolled cone can hold up to 0.75 grams of ground flower, and it is a popular size (83mm) among those looking forward to a solo smoking session.

There are three main materials rolling papers can be made from, which include rice, wood pulp, and hemp. Rice papers are an excellent choice because they offer even, slow burns, while wood pulp papers have a distinct aftertaste but are still a good option. Rolling papers made from hemp are some of the best rolling papers out there, as they are more natural, and produce a distinct taste that complements the taste of your herb.

Bleached v. Unbleached Rolling Papers

You have the option to choose from bleached and unbleached pre-rolled cones/rolling papers. Bleached papers, as you can imagine, are chemically treated with chlorine and calcium carbonate. Aesthetically, they’re white rolling papers/pre-rolled cones and are preferred by some, but you must remember that you run the risk of burning/inhaling harmful chemicals. In general, you can never go wrong with brown unbleached papers, as these papers are usually not treated with any chemicals.

Gums

It is important to know what type of gum is being used to bind your pre-rolled cone together. You typically want arabica gum, as it is known in the industry to be the safest and cleanest gum out there.
