Rolling papers
by Vibes
Vibes Hemp Rolling Papers 1¼ are slow-burning papers made from hemp fibre that let the flavour of your herb come through without interference. Created by Berner — the San Francisco rapper and cannabis entrepreneur who wanted papers that matched the quality of what goes inside them — Vibes have become a go-to for smokers who care about what they're rolling with. The 1¼ size sits in that sweet spot: big enough to hold roughly half a gram, small enough to slip into a jacket pocket or rolling pouch without any bulk.
We've stocked dozens of rolling paper brands over the years, and the thing that sets hemp papers apart from standard wood-pulp or even rice papers is the texture. Hemp has a slight grip to it — a natural roughness between your fingers that makes tucking easier, especially if your hands aren't perfectly dry. If you've ever fumbled a rice paper because it slipped mid-roll, you'll appreciate the difference immediately.
Hemp fibre burns at a slower, more consistent rate than bleached wood-pulp papers. That means fewer runs, fewer relights, and a more even smoke from start to finish. The 1¼ Vibes papers are unrefined and unbleached — they've got that natural brown colour because nothing's been stripped out of the fibre. You're not inhaling chlorine residue or calcium carbonate coatings. Just hemp.
The taste profile is close to neutral. Not completely invisible the way an ultra-thin rice paper can be, but far cleaner than a standard white paper. When you're smoking something with a complex terpene profile, you want the paper to stay out of the way. Hemp does that well — there's a faint earthiness on the first drag that disappears by the second.
One honest note: if you're used to ultra-thins, hemp papers will feel slightly thicker between your lips. That's the trade-off for the easier handling and slower burn. It's not a downside — it's a different experience. We'd pick hemp papers for an outdoor session where wind is a factor, and rice papers for a calm evening indoors. Both have their place.

Complete your rolling setup with a grinder card or pocket grinder to break your herb down evenly — consistent grind makes a real difference to how these papers burn. A pack of pre-cut filter tips saves you tearing cardboard and gives every roll a clean mouthpiece.
Most of the white papers you'll find at a petrol station are bleached wood pulp. They burn fast, they taste papery, and they run like mad if your roll isn't perfect. That's fine in a pinch, but if you're buying herb you actually want to taste, the paper matters.
Hemp fibre is naturally porous in a way that regulates airflow without letting the cherry race ahead of you. The 1¼ size is the best format for solo sessions or sharing between two — you're not wasting herb on a king-size cone when you only need half a gram. The pack itself is slim enough to sit flat in a wallet or tin. We've carried these in a back pocket for a full day at a festival without them getting crushed or bent.
Compared to Vibes' own rice and ultra-thin lines, the hemp version is the most forgiving to roll with. The slight texture grips the herb as you tuck, which means fewer attempts and less frustration. If you're still building your rolling technique, start with hemp. Once you've got the muscle memory, branch out to rice or ultra-thin if you want an even more transparent taste.
No — hemp is actually one of the easier materials to roll with. The natural fibre has a slight texture that grips the herb as you tuck, giving you more control than slippery rice or ultra-thin papers. Good choice if you're still practising your technique.
Barely. There's a very faint earthiness on the first puff that fades quickly. Hemp papers are close to neutral and won't mask the terpene profile of your herb the way thick white papers can.
You get 50 papers per pack. At roughly 0.5g per paper, that's about 25g of herb across the full pack — assuming you nail every roll. Budget a couple for practice if you're new to the size.
Hemp burns slowest and has the most grip — easiest to roll. Rice papers are thinner and nearly tasteless but slippery. Ultra-thins are the most transparent in flavour but tear easily if you're heavy-handed. Hemp is the most forgiving of the three.
No. The hemp fibre used in these papers is a structural material, not a cannabinoid source. They contain no CBD, THC, or any other active compounds. They're simply rolling papers made from hemp plant fibre.
Yes. The natural brown colour comes from the unprocessed hemp fibre. No chlorine, no calcium carbonate whitening agents. What you see is the raw material with minimal processing.
Absolutely. The 1¼ size accommodates a standard filter tip with room for about 0.5g of herb. Just leave a gap at one end when you distribute your material and slot the tip in before you start rolling.
