RAW Papers

RAW, as a company, has been trading since 2005. However, the genesis of RAW goes back to 1993. Founder Josh Kesselman stumbled on the idea of creating all-natural rolling papers after smoking an additive-free cigarette.
 

That chance event lit a fire inside of Kesselman. He sold everything he owned and set up a small smoke shop in Gainesville, Florida.

Fast-forward a few years to 1997, and Kesselman was making enough money to develop his own brands. It was this freedom to innovate that allowed him to build on the idea he had in 1993. By 2004, he’d invested $1 million in natural, unbleached hemp fibre that was to be the start of RAW. That initial product was a huge hit and, by 2005, RAW Natural Rolling Papers was born.
Today, the company is one of the leading names in the cannabis industry, and part of its rolling paper production is based in Alcoy, Spain. As well as selling some of the finest natural rolling papers in the world, RAW produces a plethora of products. From glass tips and wooden rolling trays to cone creators, you’ll find all manner of RAW items on Simply Green. And, just in case you need any more reason to check out what this company sells, RAW is so highly regarded that hip-hop artist Wiz Khalifa dedicated a song to the brand.
