Wassup with Raw Rolling Papers? – These Corps Be Straight Up Deceivin’ and Frontin’ to the People

Yo, what’s up my fellow stoners? If you’re anything like me, you’re all about that RAW life. You know what I’m talking about – it’s the brand of rolling papers that’s practically synonymous with weed culture. But guess what? There’s some shady stuff going on with RAW’s parent company, HBI International. I’m talking about false claims, misleading advertising, and general sketchiness. Let’s dive into the latest court case against them.

So basically, another rolling paper brand called Republic Brands took HBI to court over their RAW Organic Hemp rolling papers. Republic Brands claimed that HBI was making false claims about their products being organic, and engaging in unfair competition. And guess what? The court agreed with them. HBI has been ordered to stop making specific claims about their RAW Organic Hemp papers, and to stop producing any products that don’t comply with the court’s order.

But that’s not even the half of it. HBI has been using some seriously deceptive tactics to promote their brand. For example, they’ve been claiming for over a decade that their papers are made by artisanal workers in Alcoy, Spain – the “birthplace of rolling papers.” They even have a stamp on some of their products that says “Alcoy.” But here’s the thing: the court found out that HBI doesn’t actually create any rolling paper in Alcoy at all. They’ve also been claiming that their RAW Foundation is a charitable entity that they contribute funds and sales proceeds to – but there’s no evidence that this foundation even exists.

So yeah, it’s pretty messed up. And it’s not just HBI – there are tons of other corporations out there using false claims and deceitful advertising to make a profit off of unsuspecting customers. But here’s the thing: we have the power to fight back. We can demand transparency and honesty from the brands we support, and choose to spend our money on companies that are doing things right.

In fact, I’ve got a suggestion for you – why not try out some natural leaf rolling papers? These things are seriously cool. Instead of using traditional rolling papers made from paper pulp, natural leaf papers are made from actual leaves (usually tobacco or corn husks). They burn slower than regular papers, which means you get a smoother smoke and less waste. Plus, they’re eco-friendly and sustainable – no trees need to be cut down to make them.

There are a ton of different brands out there making natural leaf papers these days. Some popular ones include King Palm (which uses palm leaves), High Hemp (which uses organic hemp), and Twisted Hemp (which uses natural hemp). Each brand has its own unique flavor profile and burn time, so it’s worth trying out a few different ones to see which you like best.

So there you have it, folks – the latest drama in the world of rolling papers, and one possible alternative to the traditional stuff. As always, stay safe and smoke responsibly!
