RAW
By now, you must know that some of us rather enjoy smoking once in a while. So when we do, we only use high quality material since we are -above all- classy bitches. Today I will explain to you why we use RAW papers and why you should consider switching to this brand if you’re not already a fan!
If you happen to be a smoker or are acquainted with one, you already know that practically all smokers remain loyal to their brand and they all have a specific idea about why their rolling papers are superior. BUT today I will try to convince you that if you’re not on board with RAW yet, you’re really sailing on the wrong side of the river.
What is RAW exactly? “RAW are pure, less processed rolling papers unlike anything that you have ever seen or smoked. Because they contain a hybrid blend of unbleached (not chlorine whitened) fibers, the paper is a translucent natural light brown color. RAW is so thin that you can see through it. RAW is available in many sizes and styles to suit the most discerning smoking connoisseur. Enjoy your favorite smoke in its purest RAW form.” (http://rawfoundation.com/) =>Doesn’t that just sound like pure poetry?
Why are you so convinced that RAW is the one? Well for starters, Joshua Kesselman is DA BOMB. He’s the genius behind this concept and his story reads like a freaking Harry Potter novel. I will not rewrite this novel but basically it comes down to this: He wanted people to smoke without all the poisonous additives and when he brought this idea to factories that already produced other rolling papers, they laughed at him and told him there would never be a market for such a product. Nevertheless he kept fighting, found a beautiful small Spanish factory that would produce his papers and to this day people all around the globe enjoy these additive free papers. => Calimero would be proud! Truly this cannot be the only reason? Well of course not! I’m making my plea step by step! So when this awesome dude gained a shitload of cash he decided not to buy a big-ass villa on the Hollywood hills but to inject this money into charity! They started a foundation and with the profit from RAW they supplied 100.000 meals to malnourished children in South Africa, they dug a water well in Southern Ethiopia, they repaired 13 water wells in Uganda , they furnished hundreds of Saywer Filters for emergency water after typhoon Haiyan, they sponsor an orphanage in Bali (and community outreach programs) , and so on! =>So imagine this, every time you buy a package, a child in Africa is getting food or water or financial help. How great is that? Still not convinced? RAW papers is a brand with a good sense of humor and this can be perceived at their contest page. Every year they host an incredibly funny contest. Distributors of the Raw papers receive a ‘Raw SWAG Kit” and they need to use their imagination to create a unique display. If you go to the contest webpage, and click on the ‘displays’ page, you can see that people used their wildest dreams and created a stunning piece of art. => It’s called SWAG kit, like seriously aren’t you laughing already?
Okay so they’re funny and philanthropists, but are the papers truly better than my usual brand? Yes. Thinner, healthier, filter tips in the package, … . And they have a package called ‘Artisano’ which is just the best idea EVER since Einstein and his relativity theory.
So my dear friends, my dearest stoners, I would like you to explore their website and I would like to ask you for once to get out of your comfort zone when you’re standing in your local cigarette store buying rolling papers.
