RAW Rolling Papers . . . busted!

[tobedetermined]

As you may have read online in the last couple of days, RAW (HBI) has been successfully sued for false advertising and a whole list of complaints.

They can no longer advertise them as unrefined or that they use natural gum etc etc. It was all false.

See Ganjapreneur for more details.

i heard that heavy metals was found in the sheets

another reason to use bongs, or even better, to vape

 

[Ringodoggie]

I use their 'tips' by the hundreds. LOL The pre-rolled kind are too expensive but I buy a full carton of the pads every few months. LOL

LMFAO

Sounds like a summary of the space the past 30-40 years, just insert whatever fairy tales, tall tales & hyperbole you’d like into a litany of Dubious characters mouths….Then roll the queue

EMPEROR CAVEAT

It's caveat emptor.

I’m not a fan but, all the local shops roll their products in them as pre rolls... so I’ll have one here and there, normally as a freebie or something.. but never really enjoyed them… over the last 15 years or so I can say I’ve used far worse rolling papers.
Every time I’m at a head shop and glance over at the paper or wrap section I’m always blown away at how many products there are, fuckin walls of product!
I remember feeling Experimental one day and picked up a pack of some flavored papers… got home and opened them up and I swear it reminded me of that old Fruit Stripe Gum wrapper that had the zebra on the package lol.
as kids we would use the inner paper wrapper of Juicy Fruit gum to roll one up. Just gotta be carful unfolding it haha.

So where are they made if they aren't allowed to say made in Alcoy?

 

[laszlokovacs]

lol they for sure dont taste good enough for people to fangirl over them the way they do. It was always obvious dude was a lil pathological the way he got his Rawks off from all the praise but at the end of the day hes just a sleazy salesman. They have a picture of string printed on all their packs of papers their brand is straight up silly the whole aesthetic is odd.

Most papers got some detectable type heavy metal/garbage in them, I dont think raws really any worse or different.

This is a shock , I been using Raw organic papers and tips for as long as they have been around.
I order a box of papers and box of tips and so on when run out for years.

What's the next best papers to use then , what brand does everyone use ?

I used to use smoking Blue and smoking Silver

 

[iTarzan]

zig-zag for the win

 

[GreenAndFast]

Rizla micron are what I've been using for a while

 

[X15]

Cut corner Zigzags has always been my go to. I have rolled cigarettes with them for years and enjoy the ultra thins for tasty herb.

 

[chilliwilli]

Smoking master king size is my no.1 paper.

 

[Cactus Squatter]

I’ve always hated how RAW papers smell and taste when burning. It overpowers the weed a lot of times.
Sucks because I bought a big ass box of them for 420 last year and still have a ton left.

 

[troutman]

I have a Classic pack now. It's the only pack of RAW I ever purchased.
I prefer Export A papers and will go back to that soon enough.

Another illusion shot to Hell.....

"You just can't trust anyone any more."

Never used their papers. No loss at my house.

Just another corporation among hundreds or thousands, exposed for being the opportunists they are.

So that giggly little leprechaun was jiving us the whole time. Big shock.

If you want the cleanest papers, use corn papers, sucks that they burn and taste so bad. Smoking is a close second, I know for a fact their papers really are not that bad, so is old school Mascotte/rizla (shame they don't burn quite right).

Had a talk with this guy yearssss ago, he is a straight up salesman and gives 0 fucks aboout his products in actuality. Honestly guys there are cleaner papers out there but smoking is smoking.
