Hemp Rolling Papers UK

Hemp paper is a fibre, not a cannabinoid

This is a CBD shop, so the first thing to be clear about is what is not CBD.

Hemp rolling papers are made from the stalk fibre of the hemp plant instead of wood pulp. That is a material choice, in the same way linen is a material choice, and it says nothing about cannabinoid content. A pack of hemp papers contains no CBD, no THC and nothing else from the plant beyond the fibre it was pressed from.

Two other labels get mistaken for the same thing. Organic hemp, which RAW's Organic and Connoisseur lines and the G-Rollz Jungle papers carry, is a farming certification for how the fibre was grown. Terpene-enhanced or terpene-infused, which the RAW x Lyrical papers and the G-Rollz Cheech and Chong cones carry, is a flavour treatment using aromatic compounds, not a cannabinoid one.

Exactly one line in this aisle is genuinely CBD-infused, and it says so on the front: the ROOR CBD Infused Ultra Thin King Size papers, which come in organic hemp, rice paper and unbleached versions. Everything else here is plain paper, and we would rather tell you that than let the word hemp do work it was never doing.

That is also why this aisle is called rolling papers rather than CBD papers. The old name implied something the products do not deliver.

Sizes, in millimetres, because nobody else publishes them

Rolling paper sizes have names rather than numbers on almost every UK site, and the names are useless if you have never held one. Not one category page ranking for this search gives a single dimension. Here they are.

The size classes are consistent across brands, which is the useful part. A king size from one manufacturer is the same length as a king size from another, and the difference between king size and king size slim is width rather than length, which is the single most common point of confusion in this aisle.

Rolls are the exception and worth knowing about. Instead of pre-cut leaves you get a continuous strip you tear to whatever length you want, which makes them the most flexible option on the shelf. We stock the Juicy Jay's hemp paper rolls at 5m and the Monkey King king size rolls at 4m.

Exact dimensions vary by a millimetre or two between manufacturers, so the figures below are the class rather than a specification. Each product page carries the manufacturer's own numbers.

Papers, cones or wraps

Three formats, and the choice between them is mostly about how much you want to do yourself.

Papers are the flat leaves you roll from scratch. Fifteen lines here, and the shelf where the material choices live: RAW's organic and Black ultra thin, Elements Slow Burn, Monkey King's hemp and ultra thin, Tokies, Professor Herb, and the ROOR CBD-infused line. If you can roll, papers give you the most control and the widest choice.

Pre-rolled cones arrive as a finished cone with the tip already fitted, so there is nothing to roll and nothing to fold. Eleven lines, led by King Palm's hemp cones in medium and king size, G-Rollz king size cones, Monkey King's 18 pack and Mr Tipp's glass-tipped blunt tubes. This is the shelf for anyone who has never got on with rolling, and it is the fastest growing part of the aisle across UK retail.

Hemp wraps are the widest and slowest of the three: a single large sheet rather than a thin leaf, usually flavoured. Five lines from G-Rollz, Juicy Jay's and Wild Hemp. They burn considerably slower than a paper because there is more material, and they carry flavour in a way a thin leaf never manages.

Tips are the fourth thing people look for and we do not sell them separately, because on this shelf they come bundled. The Monkey King Rolling Papers and Tips, the RAW Connoisseur, the Professor Herb king size pack and the G-Rollz Jungle pack all include tips, and the G-Rollz pack adds a poker as well. If you specifically want tips on their own, they are not currently in the range.

What the material on the pack means

Paper type is where brands genuinely differ, and the vocabulary is not obvious.

Hemp is the default across this aisle: fibre from the hemp stalk, a light tan colour when unbleached, and a slower burn than thin wood pulp. Organic hemp adds a certification about how that fibre was grown rather than changing how it behaves.

Unbleached means no chlorine treatment, which is why the paper is brown rather than white. Bleaching is cosmetic, so unbleached is the less processed option, and it is one of the three ROOR variants.

Rice paper is the thinnest and least flavoured option, which is the point of it. It burns quickly and adds almost nothing of its own, and the other ROOR variant uses it.

Ultra thin and Black describe weight rather than material. RAW's Black and Monkey King's Ultra Thin are lighter papers, which burn faster and are harder to roll if you are out of practice. They are the connoisseur end of the shelf rather than the beginner end.

Flavoured and terpene-enhanced papers carry aromatic compounds. Juicy Jay's built its whole range on this, and RAW's Lyrical collaboration and the G-Rollz Cheech and Chong cones do the same with terpene profiles. As above: flavour, not cannabinoids.

Slow burn, which Elements makes its name on, describes how the paper is made rather than what it is made of. It is a real difference and the one Elements is worth buying for.

Reading the pack counts

This aisle has the most confusing labelling on the site, and it is the same problem in three different disguises.

A bracketed number in a listing is a count, but of what varies. A booklet of king size slim papers commonly holds around 32 leaves, and a box holds around 50 booklets, so a listing reading fifty pack is usually fifty booklets rather than fifty papers. A cone listing reading twelve pack with two cones per pack is twenty-four cones. A wrap listing reading twenty-five pack with two wraps is fifty wraps.

The practical rule: look for the two numbers, not one. Total pieces equals packs multiplied by pieces per pack, and where a listing gives you only one number, the product page gives the other. If it does not, ask us before ordering.

Worth knowing before you buy the largest option: full boxes are trade-sized. The Tokies king size papers and the Monkey King 50 packs are boxes rather than booklets, which is fine if you get through them and a lot of paper if you do not.

The eleven brands on this shelf

Rolling papers are one of the few categories where brand loyalty is genuinely strong, usually because someone learned to roll on one paper and never changed. Here is what each brand in the aisle actually does.

What this aisle is not for

Some honest limits, since nothing else ranking for this term sets any.

If you came looking for CBD, this is the wrong aisle with one exception. Hemp papers are fibre. The ROOR line is the only infused product here, and if a cannabinoid is what you are after, our CBD oil, CBD gummies and hemp and hash aisles are where it lives.

If you have never rolled, buy cones rather than papers. Ultra thin and Black papers in particular are difficult to handle and there is no shame in starting with something pre-shaped.

If you want tips on their own, we do not currently stock them. They come bundled with several paper packs and that is the only way to get them here at the moment.

If you are buying a full box, be sure you want a full box. Trade quantities are a lot of paper and they do not improve with age in a damp cupboard.

Everything in this aisle is sold to over-18s only. What you choose to roll in them is your business and not something we advise on, and nothing here is a CBD product unless the label says infused.

Keeping papers usable

Paper is hygroscopic, which is the entire storage problem in one word. It pulls moisture out of the air, and damp paper tears, sticks to itself and refuses to seal.

Keep booklets in their sleeve and out of a steamy kitchen or bathroom. A drawer is fine. If a pack has gone soft, leaving it somewhere dry for a day usually recovers it, though heavily damp paper never rolls quite the same again.

The gum strip is the part that fails first. It is a natural gum on most of these brands, which means heat degrades it, so a booklet left on a windowsill or in a car may seal poorly even when the paper itself looks fine.

Cones need slightly different care because they are already shaped. Store them upright in the tube or box they came in rather than loose in a bag, where they crush and then do not draw properly.

None of this is exotic. It is the same as looking after any other paper product, and the reason it is worth a paragraph is that no other page in this category mentions it at all.
