Elephant Brands & Beautiful Burns Pre-Rolled Cones

Rolling papers are one of those things you don’t think much about. As soon as you spark up and take that first drag, the paper is already disappearing. That’s likely why manufacturers made the packaging eye-catching but put little thought into anything but the same old brown, white or tan cones. Elephant Brands, on the other hand, saw a need for attractive, stylish rolling papers, and developed the Beautiful Burns brand to give the ladies a way to express their sense of fashion and personality. 

“Women don’t like getting all dressed up and then smoke something that looks like a brown paper bag,” says Kathleen Vieira, director of customer support and marketing.

Beautiful Burns cones are designed with a feminine touch, pastel colors, and floral and animal print graphics and food grade silver or gold foil tips— you might say they are the Victoria’s Secret of pre-rolled papers. 

Vieira says the fairer sex represent an untapped market in the pre-roll space, and account for the majority of Beautiful Burn sales. Elephant Brands, on the other hand, has more gender-neutral designs, darker colors, and striking graphics. There are more than 60 designs across the two brands, and they’re always coming out with more.

Elephant Brands and beautiful Burns are not just the most attractive cones on the market, much thought went into the development of the products, in fact, a year went into setting up the company’s factory and creating an ink that is a mix of natural pigments, hempseed and soy oils. The paper itself is made from biomass of the fruit of a special kind of palm tree — therefor, the unprinted paper is naturally off-white and does not require chemical bleaching. The seams of the cones are glued from top to bottom to provide an even burn and ensure they won’t accidently open up, wasting flower. All cones are manufactured under strict California Category 3 safety standards and screened for pesticides and heavy metals.

Retailers love Elephant Brands and Beautiful Burns as much as do their customers. Packaging has been designed with a clear window so shoppers can easily check out the designs which come in 4, 6 and 8 packs as well as variety packs with a mix of popular styles. Each package also comes pre-barcoded for easy inventory tracking.

“We want retailers to be successful, so we keep the brands fresh. We love working with businesses to help them and their customers have a wonderful experience with the products,” Vieira says. “We like to say that we’re saving the world from boring rolling papers.”

You’ve chosen to work in a gray area. You sell products that contain cannabis or cannabis-adjacent substances as well as accessories that can be used to consume it. And while that area has become less gray—you can see rays of sunlight peeking through—the skies are still cloudy. THC remains a Schedule 1 substance, even as medical marijuana has migrated to Schedule 3.
Running a cannabis business is notoriously complicated. For dispensaries, complex compliance burdens permeate every facet of the business, from zoning and licensing to marketing and payments. Whether you’ve been in the cannabis space for mere months or multiple decades, you’ve likely run into drawn-out approval processes, supply chain headaches, or constantly changing regulation that makes compliance challenging, not to mention the other micro and macroeconomic factors that plague all small business owners.
Blending traditional values with modernized, energetic branding, Not Ya Son’s Weed falls somewhere between the cannabis days of yore and today’s recreational cannabis boom. Not Ya Son’s Weed offers a variety of products—including pre-rolls, exotic flower, and gummies—that provide much-needed relief without being too overbearing.
The officials came for Lance Alyas once before. In 2023, they caught him in a sting, seized his merchandise, and tossed him in jail. But just seven days later, after he invoked Hawaii's version of a Freedom of Information Act request, the whole case fell apart. Alyas was released without bail, allowed to simply walk out the door. Now, he’s advocating for freedom from Hawaii’s state officials once again. Only this time, it’s not just his own freedom. As the owner of Oahu’s top-rated smoke shops, he’s fighting for everyone’s right to sell hemp products in the Aloha State.
Born Sara Benetowa in Warsaw, Poland, in 1903, Sula Benet may not be an immediately recognizable name in cannabis spaces today, but she should be. While she primarily studied Polish folk customs, Benet became known for her graduate thesis at the University of Warsaw, titled Hashish in Folk Customs and Beliefs. In the paper, she claims that the plant kaneh bosm—which is referenced throughout the Old Testament and Torah and often translated as “calamus”—actually refers to hemp. Benet’s theory remains both significant and highly controversial today, especially as various religious and evangelical groups continue to demonize the plant.
If the United States were ever a country based on strict adherence to the law, those days are long past. The modern game lies in devising methods to circumvent laws. It’s how the rich avoid taxes, the powerful avoid jail, and industries of all kinds bypass regulations. The paradox is that, despite its ubiquity, it’s not easy to stay beyond the reach of the long arm of the law. Well-moneyed, influential organizations still sometimes misjudge the political and legal playing field and have to pay up. The Sacklers (the family behind Purdue Pharma) eventually were bankrupted by the courts for their role in the opioid epidemic, and officials hit Meta with a $5 billion fine over privacy concerns.
When you walk into a smoke shop today, you might notice the glass cases that once held rolling papers and blunt wraps now display CBD tinctures, functional mushroom capsules, kava elixirs, and hemp-infused sparkling water. The staff might talk to you about terpene profiles, cortisol levels, and a new vape line.
I went home and told my girlfriend, who, after Googling the name of the business I bought it from, told me that, yes, it was technically weed. But it was CBD. She started laughing, telling me I had been ripped off.
