Since ancient times (and we aren’t just talking about the 60’s, man), hemp has been used for everything from clothing and paper to food products and medicine. Although our Founding Fathers grew it for years, the US government banned hemp and its close relative, marijuana, in 1937. Thankfully, the recently-passed 2018 Farm Bill made hemp completely federally legal again. What’s the difference between hemp and marijuana? We know it’s confusing, especially with all the buzz around legal weed these days. The first thing to know is that hemp and marijuana are both technically cannabis. Marijuana, the mind-altering variety, contains more than .3% THC. Hemp, on the other hand, contains less than .3% THC. The flower we use for our pre rolled joints comes from high quality hemp that is sun grown by experienced farmers in much the way marijuana is grown.  It looks, smells and tastes like the finest buds you would pick up at your local dispensary but is legal to produce, sell, buy and toke in all 50 states. If that doesn’t get you jazzed up, this certainly will: When grown responsibly and with enough TLC, hemp can have way higher concentrations of CBD than marijuana which, for the most part, has been genetically engineered to maximize THC. That means you get more of the good stuff with less of the bad.

You’ve probably been hearing a lot about CBD lately. It’s THC’s long-lost sibling, recently rediscovered and now celebrated by red-eye-jedis and wellness gurus alike.  CBD (Cannabidiol) is the most commonly known non-psychoactive cannabinoid contained in hemp and marijuana plants. That means that, unlike THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD doesn’t get you high. Instead, it is known to have a load of other really far-out effects. Most people say it helps them relax and take the edge off. Others say it can reduce inflammation, nausea, anxiety and even help combat cancer.  We think it’s the key ingredient in a positively perfect recipe for people that want to alter their mood but not their mind.

Long before there were vapes, dab rigs and triple-bubble water bongs, there were joints. There is nothing more perfect than a good ol’ fashioned joint. Pure in form and simple in function, joints are still the most classic way to enjoy a casual smoke. Over the years, we have seen many different types; fatties and pinners, twisted and folded, filtered and not.  And after decades of R&D (if you know what we mean!), we landed on what we believe is the ideal joint. Like everything we do at Dad Grass, it’s nothing fancy or new. It’s quite basic really. Perfectly ground 100% organic hemp flower. No sticks, stems or seeds. No trim or shake. A simple paper filter. All wrapped up in 100% natural papers and folded at the end to keep the good stuff in. A timeless style that’s easy to burn.
