The hemp plant is a robust, oily plant, especially the flowering parts which are full of cannabinoids. In fact, the oil produced by crushing these flowers is used to make many nutritious and health-supporting products. While cigarette tobacco is dried, brown and lifeless, the hemp in Shaman Smokes is still green and fresh, full of the living oil that makes this plant so special. Over time, some of this oil can soak into the paper, creating the spots you see. This is a sign that your Shaman Smokes are full of the raw hemp oil that sets them apart from other products.
