Rolling joints is an art form. From flaming back rolls to standard cones, the type of joint you choose to roll can alter the entire smoking experience. If you take pride in twisting one up for your crew and enjoy the admiring glances as yet another fat one burns evenly to the end, selecting the right rolling paper is essential. 

There are more ways than ever before to get high. From pricy concentrates, edibles, tinctures, vaporizers, volcanoes, and more being readily available at dispensaries in legal states, smoking joints at home the old-fashioned way remains one of the most cost-effective avenues to get high in the modern era. 

Whether you call yourself the neighborhood Blunt Doctor or Spliff Master or want to roll a personal little joint before bedtime, we’ve curated a list of the best rolling papers that make rolling the cleanest doobies easy (no matter the size). 

Best Rolling Paper Brands

Rolling papers are vital paraphernalia for cannabis users who enjoy smoking joints. These brands vary from healthier papers made with organic hemp to high-end papers that leave gold flakes in the ashtray. 

RAW

RAW is the brainchild of founder Josh Kesselman. He spent years developing his naturally derived papers and investing in natural, unbleached hemp from his smoke shop in Gainesville, FL before they hit the market in 2005. Since then, RAW has become the preferred paper for thousands of smokers around the globe. 

The Raw Classic range contains unbleached and less processed plant fibers than traditional papers, which gives them their recognizable brown color. It also contains water-based gum that can lick and stick after rolling. This range is available in various sizes depending on your preference, including wider “Phatty” papers, rolls of paper so you can choose the length of your joint, and Kingsize for the classic joint length. 

Shine Rolling Papers

If you really want your joint to stand out from the crowd at a party, roll it with Shine Rolling Papers. These boujie papers are made with handcrafted 24K gold and a hemp blend base for a slow and smooth burn that sparkles in the light and leaves gold in the ashtray when you’re finished. 

Shine Rolling Papers are made using real edible gold and are by far the most expensive paper in our roundup (a single paper will set you back more than ten bucks), but they make for an unforgettable statement joint. shine® sells pre-made cones, king size papers, and a (slightly) cheaper black and gold Tiger Stripe paper, along with gold grinders and more swag. 

OCB

With a history that stretches back to a French paper mill in 1822, OCB has been offering rolling papers since 1918. While its papers have always included wood fiber, the company started offering papers made with natural organic hemp in 2009 and hasn't looked back. 

OCB now offers a variety of natural papers, including OCB Brown Rice, unbleached and ultra-thin; OCB Bamboo, America's only bamboo rolling papers; OCB Virgin, natural and unbleached papers; and the recognizable OCB Premium, which is made with responsibly managed wood fibers just like old times. 

Juicy Jays

Owned by HBI International, which also owns RAW, Juicy Jay's® offers a different kind of smoking experience. These unique papers are available in various flavors, from fruits like blueberry, pineapple, and raspberry to sweets like vanilla ice cream and bubblegum and the eclectic root beer, absinthe, or licorice. 

These funky papers are made with hemp for a smooth burn, triple-dipped in flavor to leave them tasty until the final puff and feature a funky design to represent the flavor printed with soy-based ink. While some people prefer the taste of herb alone, these rolling papers can also add a sweet sensation to the mouth. They're available in various sizes, including the popular 1 1/4 Size, King size, slims, and rolls so that you can choose your length. 

Zig-Zag

Established in 1855, Zig-Zag is yet another rolling paper company whose history can be traced back to France. The rolling paper industry has a lot to thank this trailblazing company for. In 1895, they invented interleaving, which is how most papers are presented today. This innovative process involves horizontal linking in a booklet so the following paper is ready to use when you take one out. 

Offering a variety of products, including organic hemp, ultra-thin, and the Kutcorners slow-burning range, Zig-Zag remains a popular pick in the rolling paper industry today for its affordability and reliability. 

Rizla

The history of Rizla stretches even further back to another enterprising Frenchman, Pierre Lacroix, who traded some of his ancestral rolling paper for a bottle of champagne in 1532. The company is now one of the biggest rolling paper brands around. 

Rizla offers a variety of thicknesses, including the ultrathin Rizla Silver, lightweight Rizla Blue, thicker Rizla Green, and even thicker Rizla Red. They also sell Rizla Natura, made with extra-thin, unbleached organic hemp.

Blazy Susan Pink Papers

Blazy Susan Pink Papers bring a pop of color to any joint. These diner-chic rolling papers' classic design is bright pink, so everybody smoking one knows what you're rolling with. They won't overpower your flower with a synthetic taste and are super affordable, too. 

Blazy Susan also offers collaborations with notable weed enthusiasts, including Shaggy's King Size Wide Papers, made with rice paper; they're ultra-thin and slow-burning, and Grateful Dead Rolling Papers. 

Randy’s Wired Papers

Beginners just figuring out rolling will love Randy’s Wired Papers. Founded in California in 1975, these unique papers have a built-in wire for easy handling and rolling. Made with fine paper and North American steel, it makes for a sturdier joint that burns evenly. 

Randy’s is available in classic and hemp. The unique wire is great for beginners, and Randy recommends using it as a handle once it starts burning to pass it more easily between people partaking.
