Rolling papers
by Azarius
Azarius Hemp Rolling Papers are King Size Slim papers made from 100% unbleached, organic hemp fibre — no chlorine, no chemical additives, just plant-based material that burns clean and tastes the way a rolling paper should: barely there, with a faint natural sweetness. We've been selling rolling accessories since 1999, and these are the papers we'd actually keep behind the counter for ourselves.
Most cheap papers burn fast, taste papery, and leave you relighting every thirty seconds. These do none of that. The unbleached hemp fibre is thin enough to burn slowly and evenly without going out mid-session, yet sturdy enough that it won't tear when you're tucking and rolling. The Arabic gum strip seals firm on the first lick — no peeling corners, no re-licking, no frustration.
Here's the honest bit: if you're used to ultra-thin rice papers, these have a slightly different feel in the hand. Hemp papers are a touch thicker than rice, which actually makes them easier to roll with — especially if your technique isn't surgeon-level precise. You get a bit more grip on the paper, and the material doesn't crumple the moment you look at it wrong. The trade-off is that rice papers are marginally thinner. But for flavour and ease of rolling, hemp wins in our book.
That crispy sound when you crease the fold? Satisfying every time. It's a small thing, but it tells you the paper has the right moisture content and hasn't been sitting in a damp warehouse for six months.

Rolling papers aren't all the same, and the material they're made from directly affects what you're inhaling. According to a 2024 study published in Environmental Science and Technology, commercially available rolling papers vary widely in their elemental composition — the researchers measured concentrations of 26 different elements across multiple brands and estimated potential maximum exposures from smoking (Pappas et al., 2024). That's a good reason to pick papers with fewer additives and no bleaching agents.
Unbleached hemp papers skip the chlorine processing entirely. You're left with a paper that's brown rather than white — because that's what hemp fibre actually looks like before someone dunks it in chemicals. No calcium carbonate fillers, no potassium citrate burn accelerants. Just hemp and Arabic gum. The result is a cleaner taste and a slower, more even burn. We've had customers come back after switching from bleached papers and say they noticed the difference on the first roll.
The one limitation worth mentioning: 32 papers per pack means this is a single-pack offering, not a bulk box. If you're rolling several times a day, you'll go through a pack in under a week. Grab a few packs at once and you won't have to think about it.
We get asked about hemp papers versus rice papers at least a few times a week. The short version: hemp papers are slightly thicker, easier to handle, and have a faintly sweet taste. Rice papers are thinner and almost flavourless but can be tricky to roll — they stick to damp fingers and tear if you're heavy-handed. If you're still developing your rolling technique, start with hemp. If you've been rolling for years and want the thinnest possible paper, rice is worth trying. Both are better than bleached wood-pulp papers by a wide margin.
One thing we've noticed over 25-plus years of selling rolling accessories: people who switch to unbleached hemp papers rarely switch back. The difference in taste is subtle but real — especially on the last third of a joint, where cheap papers tend to get harsh and acrid. Hemp stays consistent right down to the roach.
These Azarius papers are made from 100% unbleached organic hemp fibre with a natural Arabic gum adhesive strip. No chlorine, no chemical additives, no calcium carbonate — just plant-based material.
They burn slower, taste cleaner, and contain no bleaching agents. A 2024 study in Environmental Science and Technology found significant variation in elemental composition across rolling paper brands — unbleached hemp papers avoid many of the additives found in processed alternatives.
No. The hemp fibre used in rolling papers is processed plant material with no cannabinoid content. You won't get any psychoactive or non-psychoactive effects from the paper itself.
Hemp fibre is naturally denser than wood pulp, so it combusts at a steadier rate. There are no burn accelerants like potassium citrate added — the slow burn is just how hemp behaves when you leave it alone.
Each pack contains 32 King Size Slim papers measuring 10.8 x 4.5 cm. Enough for a couple of weeks of moderate use, or about a week if you're rolling daily.
Unbleached papers skip chlorine processing and contain fewer chemical additives. Research suggests that the elemental composition of rolling papers varies by manufacturing process (Pappas et al., 2024), so fewer processing steps generally means fewer compounds you didn't ask for.
Yes — hemp papers are actually easier to handle than rice papers because they're slightly thicker and less prone to tearing. The Arabic gum seals reliably on the first attempt, which helps if your technique is still a work in progress.
