Hold a RAW paper with the watermark side up and the acacia gumline facing you, add a filter tip at one end if you like, and form a gentle trough. Sprinkle in evenly ground material, distribute it end to end, then pinch the paper and use the classic tuck-and-roll to shape a straight roll or cone. Lightly moisten the gumline to seal, pack the open end with a small tool for airflow and consistency, twist the tip, then spark while rotating for an even light. For the cleanest burn, keep the grind consistent, don’t overpack or overwet, and let the paper’s criss-cross watermark do its job.

RAW Classic is made from unbleached, vegan plant fibers with RAW’s criss-cross watermark for an even burn; it’s the neutral-tasting, all-around staple. RAW Organic Hemp is made from organically grown hemp fibers, offering a subtly hemp-forward, “greener” option while keeping the same clean burn and vegan gumline. If you want the most neutral paper taste and classic feel, choose Classic; if you prefer a paper sourced from certified organic hemp, go Organic Hemp.

When people ask if a rolling paper is “healthy,” they usually mean it uses fewer additives and burns clean. Think tobacco-free, nicotine-free, unbleached plant or organic hemp fibers, no added dyes or chlorine bleach, vegan acacia gum, and low-residue ash. RAW papers meet those criteria: Classic and Black use unbleached plant fibers, Organic Hemp uses certified organic hemp, and all use a natural acacia gumline. These choices help minimize extra ingredients in the paper itself and keep paper taste low. Caveat: cleaner paper doesn’t make smoking risk-free—burning any material creates tar and irritants—so the lowest-risk option is to avoid smoke or use non-combustion alternatives.
