    I’ve been told that the stuff isn’t actually plastic, but rather clear cellulose, and can in a pinch be used as a wrap to roll a joint. Yes clear cellulose papers do exist, but you think I’d actually trust smoking cheese wrapping stuff? Hell no!

    Regardless, after hearing that years ago, I did try burning a cheese wrap after that, and much to my surprise the wrap didn’t melt like plastic, it burned like paper.

    I just got done trying it again, with a different brand of cheese, and yeah this one burned and melted like plastic. ☹️

    I guess different cheese makers use different wrapping material, but either way, if someone suggests rolling a joint in cheese wrap, just say NO!

      You can’t just drop a thesis like that without telling us what the good brand was my guy :(

        LMFAO! I hear ya there!

        Sorry to say that I don’t remember what brand of cheese it was the first time I tried that years ago, but I can tell you what brand not to use as I just basically confirmed they use plastic wrap, Great Value.

        I never did try rolling or smoking a joint with either test though. Being naturally skeptical about the random advice, I only tested just burning the wrap by itself. Weed costs too much to waste on experiments ya know haha!

        I can help you on that.

        The brand is Trip. It works alright (both for rolling and smoking), but there are better paper (e.g. Raw).

        I’d consider it as mostly gimmick. Again, not a bad product overall, tho.

      I have clear rolling papers and they’re a cool gimmick but not at all practical for everyday use. Harder to roll and doesn’t stick to itself as well.

        That just might depend on the brand and what sort of glue they used, if any. I dunno, the handful of times I smoked clear doobies with my friends, they held together just fine. 🤷‍♂️

        I dunno how things are today, but not too many years ago if you searched Google Images for blue cheese, some of the images it would bring up would actually be nuggets of weed haha!

      I’ve been told that the stuff isn’t actually plastic,

      Some even claim this stuff is cheese
