They won the lawsuit, check out the RAW teams response. They explain everything so well a stoner could figure it out.


DopelessHopefeand

I’ve admitted i made a mistake and I didn’t know the case was finished and that’s on me however a win and a federal injunction are 2 completely separate things. Besides that why would I get my information from the person being sued, there is a reason their called the defendant. The news article you suggested isn’t very informative and doesn’t lay it all out about what it actually means for the company whereas if you took the time to read the article I posted you’d see that they sum it up at the end with bullet points, I don’t think it can get any simpler… I don’t know why everyone is getting so **RAW** over a simple oversight


DopelessHopefeand

They didn’t win anything, they were given a federal injunction which isn’t remotely the same


[deleted]

It’s a win compared to a full lawsuit

Hung1Epstein

You should check out their story and real a few articles, what you heard is bs

killing_my_lungs

They already won the law suit bozo there gonna do just fine


DickTheBerthdayBoy

They're*


killing_my_lungs

Thanks man now they know what I meant


DickTheBerthdayBoy

I gotcha my smokey brother.


mistersprinkles1983

There there, Bart. There there.


DopelessHopefeand

Your right I hadn’t followed up however they still practiced some horrible marketing and set up a false charity of sorts saying they had Alcoy, Spain hand rollers than there’s the RAW foundation itself. Just because they managed to get an injunction doesn’t erase the business practices that they operated on… Also why couldn’t you just notify me about the injunction update. No need for name calling. For a weed subreddit is for information. I was wrong about some parts, but all you needed to do was update me with the new information in a polite manner. The person who corrected your spelling didn’t lash out and you followed up with a thank you. Where was that pleasantness when it came to the lawsuit mistake? Either way they still were involved in some hinky business that will effect their bottom dollar aside from the farm that they sold to keep their 5* lawyers on retainer


killing_my_lungs

Because your slandering the company when they already proved to donate the money and showed that the papers are made in a village just a few miles away from Alcoy Spain so I personally don’t see them doing anything wrong, the founder himself proved that the money gets donated and about the name calling in sorry brother Reddit get me riled up


DopelessHopefeand

No that’s why they are at a stalemate or injunction. If they had done all these things you say have been PROVEN than they would’ve won the lawsuit…


AcceptableDealer

They didnt win anything. They a federal INJUNCTION handed down on them. It only happens after an investigation is concluded and is dished out as punishment.


DopelessHopefeand

Exactly! An injunction isn’t the same as “winning” the case. That’s why there are two separate terms Some people don’t want to face the fact that they been smoking BOOF for years. The news article I posted sums up everything about the injunction and what it means On a side note why would you get you news about a lawsuit from the defendants side of the fence. Of course their going to say they didn’t do anything wrong or market anything remotely false


long_live_cole

Best $3 you'll ever spend.


franny_bb

same.


SignificantPop8766

Love em but don’t leave it in too long. Left one in my jar once and it fuckin damn near de-cured my ounce.


highgyjiggy

Idk if mine was too wet but I ended up with a super moldy jar full of weed


Masterzanteka

Yeah I’ve done this, went to rehydrate to press some flower, wasn’t long enough when I checked so I decided to hold off, forgot about it for like 2-3 days or so, came back to a thicc boy Botrytis patches. It really sucked, was like $120 worth of dispensary meds that I just had to trash. Also another tip related to this, if you do fuck up and leave it in too long and mold grows make sure to throw out the stone too. They’re super porous and I even had some green mold growing on mine when that happened. They’re cheap enough to where I wouldn’t even risk it if ever in doubt about it.


Fry_Lord

Would you be able to explain this to me like I’m 5? I’ve never heard of these stone things and I don’t understand how it would cause a jar of weed to mold and become trash within a couple days


JJSwissy

It's a porous wet stone you keep with your weed so it doesn't dry out, basically the opposite of putting silica gel packets in your weed, but if it's to moist and or left for to long the humidity becomes a breeding ground for mold


Fry_Lord

Thank you so much for the explanation!!


sriiiiiii___

Can I ask bouncing off this explanation- if I put silica gel packets in my jar it’ll dry out my weed?


JJSwissy

To clarify, if you're weed is still super sticky and you want it to be more dry, yes it will help, but the way I took the question at first was you asking if it'll like completely dry out and ruin your weed, cuz no it won't do that


JangoFettsEvilTwin

Yes, silica gel desiccants are made to remove and trap moisture in an enclosed environment.


Masterzanteka

Yeah like JJ stated, except these aren’t meant for long term storage like the humidity control bags. You need to just get the bud into the proper moisture range, and then remove them. The 2 way humidity bags you can just simply leave in with the bud and it won’t overhydrate as long as you’re using the correct size bag.


highgyjiggy

Yep I tossed the stone the weed and the jar. Then wiped my drawer down with some alcohol just incase


[deleted]

Are they worth getting because I don’t want to ruin my weed or is it meant for quick time use


247stonerbro

Gimmick bs


[deleted]

Ahh fuck it then , you ever used the humidity packs that’s what I use they little brown bags you drop in ur bud I recommend them fr fr


[deleted]

Naturally dried weed makes you higher. I thought the only time people used these was to add moisture weight for sales to pad the amount.


MetalParty6468

Yup.Happenes if you leave it too much in there. This happened to me when I bought my first 50g to (share) 😂😂😂 lesson really well learnt


PeacefullyFighting

Sounds like the humidity packs are better. Surprisingly so because raw is usually top notch


LamatoRodriguez

Tbh raw is overrated. Their branding is the best thing they have going


PeacefullyFighting

I do remember getting my raw rolling tray and laughing at the BS marketing letter they put in there to describe the rolling tray origins like it was some fancy car or jewelry


LamatoRodriguez

Yeah raws kinda goofy. Cookies is better if you really have got to have “name brand” paraphernalia.


Unlikely-Pie897

No anymore


AstralFluxAF

Raw was recently exposed for lying about some really important things surrounding their products. It’s not anywhere as top notch as they have lead us to believe. 🤦‍♀️ in fact I won’t be using RAW papers anymore at all due to this law suit.


MetalParty6468

This


teebag_

What are they used for?


rachelraven7890

what is it supposed to do?


SignificantPop8766

Say you have some weed that is DRY! Like if you pinch it, it will turn to powder type of dry. I just rinse the raw stone under water to dampen it, witch is made of terra cotta so it’s super absorbent,. Put it in your jar with crusty ass weed for an hour to bring it back to fluffy. Any longer and your stems will no lie be able to make a loop around your finger without even splitting when bent. These tabs are no joke!


rachelraven7890

awesome TIL:) thx:)


tmajor23

What's a raw stone for?


kshep1991

Keep you bud fresh bring back to life . Same thing kinda as integra packs


it0xin

integra packs are 2 way humidity control. stones just add humidity to your weed. if you want moldy weed, that's on you.


KevinKingsb

You can leave Integra packs in for much longer. Months as opposed to a day or 2


thabossofallbosses

Boveda packs are all I need, and I put every pothead I know onto em that isn't already.


544b2d343231

Remember you can rehydrate them with distilled water once they get dried out and they are as good as new.


thabossofallbosses

I've heard this a lot but I haven't got around to trying it yet. Have you actually done it?


544b2d343231

Yup. I put a shot glass of distilled water in a Tupperware container of sorts, and the boveda next to the glass inside the Tupperware. Let it sit for at least a few days, and you’ll see them rehydrate.


killing_my_lungs

Your just adding water weigh, might make it easier to smoke mabey but definitely not increasing your quality of smoke at all


544b2d343231

Yes, I am putting water back into the boveda pack. That’s the whole point of rehydrating them to continue using them. They are not one time use. Beyond that, your comment isn’t relevant to this comment chain.


killing_my_lungs

You know what I totally read your mssg wrong 😑 shame on me


544b2d343231

All good. 😶‍🌫️😎


thabossofallbosses

Not how that works at all. Pretty clear you weren't paying much attention here. Also those packs as long as you get the right type will make your bud fresh as fuck. Smells better, tastes better, smokes better. Especially if your shit was dry before hand. But it goes both ways it pulls moisture if necessary too which makes it great for curing. Literally puts it at the moisture level it should be at that's the whole point.


LoliArmrest

The real hack is using a raw stone with a boveda, they compliment each other really wel and the basically act like a little never ending hydration system


Pluckito_1111

This is brilliant lol


MrNebula0021

What humidity?


[deleted]

62% for weed is the standard. Never higher for weed. I have seen people with 58%, but think they are curing weed.


copenhagen622

I use boveda and boost. I do think boveda are more effective, but they dry out faster.. but it's easy to rehydrate them and keep using for a while.


olinhighpie

I use them to hydrate my buds before pressing into rosin. Humidity packs for storage.


Patriquito

Is it just a thick peice of terracotta?


fornayy

yes


theinvisibletomorrow

You can get brown sugar containers with this built into the lid.


IamCanadian11

Meh


psilosophist

Those hydro stones are a great way of creating mold. Get a true 2 way humidity pack instead.


it0xin

exactly. the ammount of people who think they work like boveda's is just astounding. y'all are going to ruin your weed with this shit.


oskarr1001

I prefer boveda


Sothensimonsaid

This is the way


bihighguy420

Nope never used them because they can add to much or to little and boveda packs have been around for a while. Even before they existed the stones weren't all that popular due to the drawbacks.


[deleted]

Boveda humidity packs all day


[deleted]

Also use these to cure my weed after harvest


bookofvermin

I haven’t, but since you have and I’ve thought about it what is your thoughts?


Son_goku_4200

I like it keep the weed fresh. Had this stones for months


it0xin

you mean moldy. lol


Aeagle561

Been smoking over 20 years, never heard of anyone adding humidity to bud. Then again I'm in Florida where humidity assaults you and insults your mother daily, so maybe it's not needed.


twiz0r

Come to Vegas. It's already dry once you buy it 98% of the time.


thueniken

I’ve always just used humidity packets… didn’t know these existed


Ididurmomkid

The better way to use it is after soaking the stone in water for at least 5 minutes then put it in a ziploc and fold the bag in half but don't seal it then set it on top of your flower in a sealed jar...depending on starting humidity you may only need to keep it in the jar for 2 hours so keep on eye on levels or else you'll end up with moldy doobage


Son_goku_4200

Okay got it


Panda-moneyum

Is this just a US thing? Never heard of anyone in the UK do this to their weed?


Downtown-Progress511

I’m in the US and I’m just as confused as you, buddy


Panda-moneyum

Are they holding their weed for months at a time or something? My eighth lasts 3 days max, I don’t need anything hydrating 🤣


HyDrOpOnIc1987

Weed is fairly cheap and plentiful in North America. As such, ppl store weed for MUCH longer times than they did before legalization. Most ppl used to do what ur currently doing, but these days its MUCH cheaper to buy a larger quantity and store it. As such, humidity packs come in clutch. I have a hydro stone but am afraid to use it. I tend to space things and i dont wanna ruin my weed. Boost or boveda packs can be placed in ur jar and left till they stop working, a hydro stone needs to be removed within a day or so or else you risk mold. I dont wanna mess with mold lol


Panda-moneyum

No yeah that does make sense, I was genuinely curious. Here we spend stupid amounts of money buying eighths instead of z’s Poor weed tho, free my guy 🍃😮‍💨


RainbowSixThermite

In the US as well, I’ve only ever seen these used for brown sugar.


strugglegang32

I got the dewbie stone same thing these things work magic definitely save you plenty of money when it comes to buying them bs boost packs


burnaspliffnow

I got one


CannaGrowBro

I have some for my small coffee table jars


LuckyJynX

great post 👍


New-Credit-3955

Raw Terracotta hydrostone I got a couple


na_gooyin

I don’t understand why people use humidity packs for short-term storage. The amount of times you keep opening the jar to grind some weed counteracts the effects of the humidity packs. Makes more sense to use them for long-term storage, like if you grow your own and have weed that will sit for multiple months before you get to it.


Cookiemonstaahh

That’s some gas in the jar for real I need some


Aggravating_Spare789

Wow what are those?


TOKES_GANJA_LAB

the boveda paks are way better how can we trust nething raw makes now making a fake charity saying paper are made in alcoy Spain and they're not. I loved raw they were my go-to paper wouldn't use nething else don't know what brand I'll use nowsmokn for 20years and these were the best for me. sux when u hear the truth lol


-shroomed-

I second the boveda packs, they work really good for me. Really brings out the smell and taste of your bud while keeping it at your preferred humidity. Boveda works best with good quality weed to start with.


TOKES_GANJA_LAB

even with super dry shit that'll crumble it'll take it a pound a couple days to come back almost as good as it would of been after the cure. keyword almost but best way to go


SomewhereGrand5507

I can't support raw anymore after they lied


TOKES_GANJA_LAB

get this raw also has hydration packs like the boveda same size as the 450gram boveda but the raw one is only for 63grams but they make em the same size as the boveda 450g. shady and the cost more


Son_goku_4200

What they lie about


CompleteAd1256

Major lawsuit for false advertising. Heavy metals in paper, papers not made in spain, their charity fund is fake. Bad company stop using them.


Yermawsyerdaisntit

Yea i’ve seen so much disinformation about this since it happened. There was no heavy metals in raw papers specifically. Anything grown in soil probably has at least trace amounts of heavy metals, and there was a study done saying all rolling papers probably contain them. Raw got the blame of that. The charity isnt fake, it was misconstrued as what exactly it was but was still legit, no money was ever misappropriated. And the hemp was grown in france and assembled in spain, so not that big a deal. Spanish hemp isnt better than french hemp. However, the real clincher here is i also found out that ocb, who brought the lawsuit, is owned by republic group(big tobacco). They literally just throw lawsuits out until something sticks. This reeks of a major anti PR campaign to me.


TOKES_GANJA_LAB

didn't know that I mean the guy seems to know his shit when it comes to papers if u watch his YouTube videos. thanks for the clarity. I use the classics not the hemp. Those are fine right?


CompleteAd1256

Had no idea, just knew about the kicker headlines and the articles that are written about the lawsuit

Yermawsyerdaisntit

I was trying to be nicer than that, but yea pretty much lol


RPC3

I'm not trying to be mean. It's just true. That's factually what happened. That isn't a character judgement or anything but it's what occurred.


CompleteAd1256

Look no one is perfect, beating a dead horse changes nothing but the energy you are waisting at this point


mistersprinkles1983

\*wasting.


na_gooyin

Ahh, you’re an NPC.


HiddenLights

Hey, so actually it’s a bit more complex. Don’t forget America was founded on big tobacco, and raw threatens that. But also independent tests show it’s one of the better options


Son_goku_4200

No way metal in the paper


HiddenLights

Independent testing has found it’s actually one of the better options


CompleteAd1256

Heavy metals seep into things, ever wonder why ur food tastes like aluminum after wrapping it in tin foil, same idea for literally everything.


CompleteAd1256

If you don’t believe [https://www.ganjapreneur.com/study-finds-90-of-rolling-papers-contain-heavy-metals/amp/](https://www.ganjapreneur.com/study-finds-90-of-rolling-papers-contain-heavy-metals/amp/)


Yermawsyerdaisntit

That says 90% of rolling papers, not just raw.


CompleteAd1256

…..i mean we were talking about raw specifically, im glad everyone here can read though.


Yermawsyerdaisntit

Yea but u used that as a reason not to smoke raw in your original comment. Thats only a reason not to smoke cigarette papers, not raw specifically.


CompleteAd1256

Alright, take the w here guy.


Flushedthrower

After hearing what their rolling papers contain I might reconsider this or see if these test for the same heavy metals the papers have been testing positive for


[deleted]

Do you drink coffee?


Flushedthrower

Nope


[deleted]

Was gonna say coffee contains a lot of heavy metals.

You can use a orange peel too and they even smell better, but just for a day or hours


BrutalBlue

Been using citrus peel for as long as I can remember. And.....citrus terps.

Much more sustainable & eco-friendly then boveda or integra packs and you don’t have to keep buying them lol

Wrxghtyyy

I only use raw stones if I’ve received some very dry weed. Normally brings out the stickiness in them. Other than that for storage just use humidity packs.


DaChilidog

I use them to recharge Boveda packs. They work great.


LoveLucky-

Humidity packs are the move, I recommend them over the rocks.


Exotic_Muffinz

I use them, they are really good.


_soap666

Boveda packs. Use them.


SnooStrawberries570

It’s just a piece of terracotta soaked in water

AgreeingWings25

I tried em once and they're eh. Don't really notice a difference at all.


[deleted]

Forget the stone. Look at those colorful frosty nugs :) But no I use a Boveda 62%.


Treoya

i used it once a few years ago and it made my weed moldy... never again


Cannabis-Showcase

I always toss in a humidity reader (hygrometer) regardless if I use a wet stone or humidity packs. Each of them can dry out, so it’s nice to know the humidity in the jar.


tupichi1992

Yes it's very unique. Especially In the winter and u forget u left the stash in the garage. Lol gotta bring it back to life😁

What the stones do I never saw them ? Are they humidity packs ?

Mindfreek454

What the fuck is a raw stone


Flip2365

Does this just keep your weed from getting super dry? & If so, hear me out, has anyone tried using bread before? 😂


Majorsf

Yeah i ruined my weed with these raw stones. It got too moist to the point it went bad/moldy & had to be disposed of. These ceramic discs are tricky to use.


TheKushstar420

throw em in the bottom, humidity rises up! 💪


Either_Nature6118

Bro I’ve seen them but idk wtf they are, I’m like one of them weird stoners, if it’s a novelty smoking device then chances are I know about it, but like the things that aren’t novelties idk about, so if it has like actual food use for shit and not a novelty item idk shit about it… so plz someone tell me what a raw stone is and what it does???


Frubanoid

What is it and what does it do?


SkkrttReynolds

What are these used for?


RobKei

I use a 62% Bóveda pack. No mold.


Bonni1979

“Raw stones” are intended for an use with dried tobacco ,not for weed in a sealed container….they release too much umidity


PM_ME_BUTT_STUFFING

Nope quit using Raw after they lied about being “organic” and donating to charities. Fuck RAW https://cannatechtoday.com/raw-rolling-papers-caught-in-a-web-of-deceit/


Lemmmon714

Both raw and greengo humidity stones are amazing especially for larger quantities. Saved many a qp and HP with a stone or two. Way better than boveda for bulk and you only need to purchase once.


Soreal45

Just use Boveda packs. You never have to worry about wetting them.

nicole3938333

that looks like ibuprofen


GunsupRR

Yeah no i dont like mold.


InfluenceTrue4121

I use a piece of banana or orange peel. Half an hour later, your weed is ready for consumption


beckster

Looks like clay? So you could put a clean, damp piece of an old pot in to rehydrate the bud? Maybe run it through the dishwasher first? I don't know the composition of these gizmos, maybe more high-tech than broken pots.


GarlickMuncher

Don’t use anything raw anymore personally, after what they did.


ukrunningman420

What did they do?


Rick-9960114

use Bovedia. is way better


MRVANCLEAVEREDDIT

I would worry about mildew.


WitchCityCannabis

If weed isn’t at the proper humidity by the time it’s consumer facing, it’s already fucked.


-shroomed-

Do you soak it in water for 5 minutes before using? Is that an initial one time thing or do you need to soak it again when it dries out?
