Hemp Wraps 101
Post by Erinn Holman on May 3, 2019

Do you enjoy rolling your smokes with cigar wraps, but don’t want the taste or buzz of the tobacco overshadowing your preferred herbs? It can be hard to find a better alternative, especially when tiny rolling papers simply don’t provide the same experience as a fatty. With all-natural hemp wraps, you finally have a cleaner alternative to the traditional cigar wrap. Keeping it old school is cool and all, until you remember that tobacco-based wraps have been linked to increased chances of heart attacks, chronic lung disease, strokes, cervical and kidney cancers, and damaged blood vessels. With hemp wraps, you’re saving your body from ingesting the carcinogens associated with tobacco use, all while supporting a more eco-friendly wrap. Win-Win.
What is a Hemp Wrap?

Hemp wraps are made out of (you guessed it) hemp. These are different than traditional tobacco based wraps because they don’t contain tobacco or nicotine, meaning when you roll up your prefered smoking herbs and light up, you won’t get that nicotine buzz these wraps are known for. There’s a common misconception that hemp wraps can get you high because they are a hemp product, but that isn’t actually the case. Hemp wraps do not contain THC, so they cannot get you high and no, they won’t show up on your next drug test.
How Do I Roll a Hemp Wrap?
We know that rolling a wrap can seem like a lot of work, but it’s actually easy to do in just a few steps.
- Grind your herb
- (Optional) Tuck a filter in the corner of the hemp wrap, rolling it slightly to create a small pocket.
- Pack your herb evenly across the length of the wrap
- Tuck and roll your herb until you have a cigar shape
- Lick the side where the sugar-based glue is to seal the roll (because these aren’t your usual rolling papers, you may need a lot more saliva to get it to stick.)
- Spark it up!

How Do I Store my Hemp Wraps?

It’s imperative to store your hemp wraps properly when not in use. Because hemp dries out so quickly, you’ll want to make sure you are storing your wraps in an airtight container, such as a mason jar, large stash jar, that tupperware your mom got you (sorry, mom), or any other container that can fully seal. Make sure you include some kind of humidity source when storing as well. This can be a Hydrostone or even a damp paper towel, anything to avoid the tragic tear when you try to roll your next wrap. Unlike traditional papers, you do not need to store these in the freezer to keep them fresh. In fact, doing so may speed up their dehydration, and again, we’re trying to avoid the tragedy of your wraps ripping and crumbling.
