NEW LEGAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES & TOBACCO REGULATIONS INCREASING
MARKET OPPORTUNITY
There has been an increasing demand for alternative style smoking wraps and leafs that can provide a
different and/or better smoking experience for marijuana connoisseurs. This demand is consistently growing
in response to all of the tobacco regulations and to offer more complimenting products to the growing
marijuana market.
Tobacco retailers will no longer be eligible to sell or intend to sell any flavored tobacco product and vaping
products. Previously the restriction of flavored tobacco products only applied to retailers near 1,000 ft of
youth sensitive areas (parks, schools, playgrounds, and libraries), now it applies to ALL retailers. Effective
April 1, 2021.
Sales to anyone under the age of 21 is prohibited
Cannabis retailers cannot sell alcohol & tobacco
For cannabis, 2020 was a breakout year. Legal sales across the U.S. (14 states allow adult use, 36 allow for
medical sales) hit a record of 17.5 billion, a 46% increase from 2019, according to a new report.
On Thursday, April 29, the Food and Drug Administration announced plans to ban menthol-flavored
cigarettes and cigars, starting in 2022. The FDA’s proposal reaponds to a lawsuit from the African American
Tobacco Control Leadership Council calling for the national ban, which would target makers and sellers, not
users, of menthol and flavored cigars. Such a ban would affect many cannabis consumers, primarily black
smokers who roll marijuana into flavored tobacco or cigar leaves, commonly called a blunt.
Half of cigar sales in 2020 were two flavored brands: Black and Mild, followed by swisher sweets.
ALL NATURAL LEAFS & WRAPS ON THE RISE
MARKET SOLUTION
The natural leaves have in the past been extremely popular internationally, with cured Banana being amongst the first
ways human consumed smoke whether from cannabis, herbal products or tobacco.
However, in the United States, besides tobacco leaf wraps, natural leaves have historically been largely absent in
cannabis consumption, until recreational cannabis finally started to be rolled out and manufacturers of pre-rolls and
smoking accessories looked for ways to stand apart from classic rolling papers.
This first began with the Cordia leaf, which in the industry is most commonly known as the King Palm leaf, due to
brand King Palm having a first mover effect and introducing the natural leaf products to the United States.
The Cordia leaf has a darker green color to it, which does introduce an earthy taste to the smoking experience due to
the high amount of chlorophylls in the leaf (when you cure cannabis part of the curing process is removing
chlorophylls from the plant to improve the smoking quality, same with tobacco hence why tobacco goes from being
green to dark brown).
While the King Palm leaf has shown some shortcomings in terms of smoking experience, it has shown in the
recreational and medical space that consumers are looking for natural product to elevate their smoking experience and
that aren’t just made of rolling paper.
Now, there are products like Tendu leaves, Rose leaves, Gogi Berry Wraps, and Cocoa Wraps, that have made the
natural leaf market both innovative and aesthetically pleasing, while not sacrificing the smoking experience of
premium cannabis flower.
THE BANANA LEAF EXPERIENCE
Since the production of banana takes place all around the world, therefore people have discovered new and creative ways to use each and every part of the plant,
including leaves. You heard me, banana leaves have a wide range of applications because they are large, flexible, waterproof and decorative. They are used for
cooking, wrapping and food-serving in a wide range of cuisines in tropical and subtropical areas. In traditional homebuilding in tropical areas, roofs and fences are
made with dry banana-leaf thatch. Banana and palm leaves were historically the primary writing surfaces in many nations of South and Southeast Asia.
These days use of Banana leaves has gone to a different level as they are being seen as the alternate for weed and other hazardous smoking substances.
As we all know using blunts as smoking substances has been the most common method by stoners for cannabis consumption
The most popular forms are: Natural Leaf Wraps & Leaf Blunt Wraps
You would be surprised to know the fact that the trend of smoking Natural leaf wraps have taken over recently. This wasn’t quite popular back in 90s. On the other
hand, Leaf Blunt Wraps have been around for a while. Natural leaf wraps are a great chemical & tobacco-free alternative. A number of new brands have been
innovating on this older concept. Namely, the newest smoking craze is the banana based wraps.
You heard me right; humans have invented smoke wraps that are made out of banana leaves. Surprising part is, they are 100% organic, GMO-free, vegan, all-natural
wraps. It’s like totally progressive blunt wraps. In all seriousness, these are made from real banana leafs and are far better for the environment than alternatives.
Trends and various methods of smoking Natural leaf wraps & Leaf Blunt Wraps started from the culture of Rastafarian later on it expanded to USA. Therefore, they
are being made the same way they have been for centuries.
These methods to transform a banana leaf into a smokable Natural leaf wraps have been passed down to many generations.
