World Of Weed

As the years pass, more and more things are being developed with new and improved features, such as the so-called ‘clear rolling papers’. The recent trend of wrapping one’s joint or cigarette in these new papers, replacing the usual white papers, is said to create an enhanced smoking experience.

The very first clear rolling paper was introduced by American Dreams Incorporated (Illinois), in 1982, but were promoted and sold in the United States with only limited success. However, in February 2006, this product was revived on the market. Among the popular brand names are Klear, Aleda, Glass, Trip, and 1Black.

Most of the clear rolling papers are made in Brazil, and uses 80% cellulose of eucalyptus, 14% glycerine, and 6% water as its base materials. Some brands or companies of clear rolling papers are advertising false statements, claiming that they use 100% natural cellulose in producing the paper when, in fact, the glycerine in these papers, if burned at a high rate (280°C), will produce a toxic acrolein gas, which is harmful to health. It also contains a high quantity of chlorine; this chemical is used to produce a quality clear paper.

The typical rolling paper, which is made from flax, hemp or rice as its base material, is more natural and is usually healthier for the smoker. It has already been proven that using clear rolling paper as a wrap for your cigarettes is not safer than using the traditional white papers.
