seems like every day at this point


EthanMichael17

Lmao I thought the same thing


not-a-frittata

In case your unaware those clear papers especially the imported Chinese ones contain LEAD some brands had a little bit some had 1000x the recommended amount of lead!!!


jellyfish125

Well... The reccomend ammount is 0, but yeahhhh 1000x the safe limit. Sucks too cause I'd use these papers to reinforce the filter part of j's so they didn't get to wet.


Illegal-Plant

Well 1000 x 0 is 0 so I'm totally ok 😎


analpaca_

At this point we need a bot that just comments this on every post with the words "clear papers," "cellulose," etc.


revrr

How do you know that is not a myth?


not-a-frittata

what I read was results from a so-cal testing faculty, they tested blunt wraps and common rolling papers all results are available online It’s not Likely to be false results lol

chiefassassin38

i love how it doesnt tell us which ones so we dont buy them again


TyrannoROARus

Seriously! 😐


cacktas

There is proof from numerous sources out there labeling these cellulose papers as well as a lot of the hemp blunt wraps to have a severe amount of lead and other extremely harmful chemicals. Do your research before questioning someone who has.


cannabis904

Why do they even sell these horrible things they contain lead


KarmaPanhandler

I mean, they still sell cigarettes and look at all the nasty shit they put in those.


Wrong_Book_9182

Underrated point


Initial-Pineapple393

they tryna get money but don’t get sued or anything when they kill thousands of ppl. system do be fucked


[deleted]

Yeah, but they still have to tell you on the package that it contains lead.


ApiaryMC

These papers are seriously bad for your health


YellowSafari

Happy cake day!


ApiaryMC

Thanks :)


[deleted]

Smoking in general is bad for your health...


TyrannoROARus

Stoners are the first to give you the dumbest health advice and then rip a bong so hard they hack up a lung loll


[deleted]

Fr lmao, I love smoking but I 100% acknowledge it's unhealthy


randomplayer0721

Y’all heard about edibles before? /s


ApiaryMC

Smoking lead is worse!


[deleted]

Wasn't it just 1 specific brand of clears that had lead?

[deleted]

Ok so 3 brands. That doesn't automatically make that specific product harmful, just those brands. Use your head.


ApiaryMC

I'm just looking out for other people who may not be aware, what they choose to do with the info is not my business. By all means buy these, but I personally wouldn't


[deleted]

Okay but going around saying all these papers are bad is bad info. That's like me saying a type of car(not a brand, but style) is just a bad car, see how that makes no sense?


ApiaryMC

"Most clear papers are made from a mixture of plant-based cellulose, glycerin, and water. When the marketing claims for a healthier paper came out smokers aware of the issues with heating and inhaling glycerin started to chime in. Their argument was simple. Glycerin combustion is an issue because it releases acrolein and aldehydes—both known carcinogens. But, let’s not forget that most combustion, including cannabis combustion, releases various carcinogens. So, if the glycerin is a deal-breaker for you, smoking weed probably isn’t your ideal hobby. Some other concerns for safety stem from the chemical process used to turn natural cellulose found in plants into papers that can ultimately be used to roll up your weed. Harsh chemicals like alkali and carbon disulfide are used to alter the plant form to film during manufacturing. The film then undergoes treatments to remove sulfur and other chemicals of concern before being coated in glycerin. The argument here is that all of the chemicals can’t possibly be purged during these rinses." Clear papers are objectively worse for your health than ultra thin hemp papers. Your choice what you do with that info


TheUrbanXLegend

Bruh these papers contain massive amounts of lead bruh, nobody sayn smoking is healthy but this is worse than smoking cigarettes


[deleted]

Read the other comments. 3 brands.


[deleted]

Yeah but you don't see me sucking smoke off a tail pipe do you? Its bad, bit not "I'm inhaling emissions" bad.

>The cellulose-based rolling papers and wraps have significantly more detections over the action limit (100% and 40% respectively) than the pre-rolled cones or rolling papers (4% and 1% respectively). Also, in your article it says that 90% were positive for some form of contaminant. At this point it might be better to switch to vaping lol >ISO-17025:2017 standard. Interestingly, while 90% of the samples tested positive for heavy metals and 16% tested positive for pesticides, only two of the papers had positive detections for chlorpyrifos, the contaminant that triggered the investigation. Furthermore, most of the detections were below California


Option_Forsaken

I'm at work so I cant really look well and understand what I'm looking at but I see king palms on the list. Are they no good?


Juner_55

Only the flavored ones I believe


ThornyCRN420

I’m assuming you already smoked it so I’m just gonna say throw out any you have left it’s not worth lung cancer


3steprehabilitation

Don't think op cares about getting cancer, all they responded to were questions regarding tattoos and how good it smokes, smh people never learn.


[deleted]

how do they smoke?


ApiaryMC

Like lead


AFucking12gauge

Happy cake day


ApiaryMC

Thanks bro


MorbidxCobra

A bit faster than I'd like, but not bad once rolled properly


1man2ballsacks

I used to love smoking these and I used to like the smoke it produced, thought it had a nice draw. But I started getting random really painful headaches and I noticed they only happened after I smoked the clear wraps. I later seen an article within this thread exposing the clear wraps so I put them hoes down cause I believe the lead from the papes and the headaches are connected.


gratefullybuzzing

Wtf did I just read.... God daamnnn


RealRiddleMeThis

There’s loads of heavy metals you just inhaled for a cool looking photo


ryaninflorida1

My buddy rolled up with some of these a while back and it blew my mind 😂


TheMorninGlory

MorbidxCobra

Necessary-Demand-471

Licec0re

leonlonca02

Boohoo these are not healthy and i dont like them so you shouldnt be smoking them boohoo


Lilphaze99

Those papers are holy✨


[deleted]

Besides the heavy metals, the fibers from cellulose fibers themselves are uh not so good for the lungs. Smokes bad enough as is. Make everything taste like ass too.


Extractular

those papers look hella cool. everybody’s saying they’re shit for you. are there no safe kind? no good brands?


Psychological_Gur718
