The 5 Best Rolling Papers

It’s safe to say that the majority of cannabis fans had their first taste of dry herb from a joint. Hand-rolled joints are a true classic of the cannabis scene and are among one of the oldest methods of consuming weed. They’ve also become a point of pride for a lot of (faintly tedious) people out there — how many times have you borne witness to some guy bragging about his rolling ability at a party? How many times have you seen over-elaborate rolls on Instagram? A lot, we’re gonna guess.
Of course, joints are still a great way to smoke cannabis, they’re quick, easy, and papers are nearly universally available. Of course, as with anything, there’s more to a good roll than just picking up the first box of skins you see and working away. If you invest in some quality papers you are sure to enhance your cannabis experience — not to mention make the whole process of rolling a lot easier to endure.
