Jeffrey's Hemp

What Is Jeffrey's Hemp and Why Did Two Upstate New York Friends Build a Better Cigarette?

Jeffrey's Hemp was founded by two childhood friends from Upstate New York who identified a problem in the hemp market that no brand had solved: cigarette smokers needed a hemp alternative that replicated the full sensory and habitual experience of tobacco, not just the cannabinoid content. Most hemp pre-rolls at the time were cone-shaped joints — familiar to cannabis users but foreign to habitual cigarette smokers who were used to the size, weight, filter and draw of a traditional cigarette. The two founders spent nearly a year testing samples and formulations before landing on a product they could stand behind personally. Jeffrey's was positioned at launch with a direct promise: "all the good stuff, none of the bulls!t."

Jeffrey's Holdings, Inc. launched the brand to significant early market traction — named the #1 USA Hempettes Brand in 2020, the same year the brand announced a distribution partnership with HempWholesaler.com. The brand is grown, processed, packaged and distributed entirely in the United States. Jeffrey's Holdings also operates Bearly Legal Hemp — a separate alternative cannabinoid brand — at bearlylegalhemp.com, though the two brands occupy entirely different product categories. Jeffrey's is CBD wellness and tobacco replacement. Bearly Legal Hemp covers psychoactive Delta-8 and THCA products. Both are distinct brands at ProCannabis with separate pages and separate buyer intent.

What Are Hemp CBD Cigarettes — and How Do They Differ From Tobacco Cigarettes and CBD Pre-Rolls?

Hemp CBD cigarettes — also called hempettes — are cigarettes rolled with hemp flower rather than tobacco leaf. They match the size, shape, filter and draw of a traditional cigarette but deliver CBD and other naturally occurring cannabinoids instead of nicotine, tar and the 7,000-plus chemicals found in tobacco cigarettes. The hemp flower contains less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight — federally compliant under the 2018 Farm Bill and non-intoxicating at that concentration. A typical hempette from any quality brand contains 50mg to 100mg of CBD per cigarette and delivers it through inhalation — the highest-bioavailability CBD delivery route available, producing onset within seconds rather than the 15 to 90 minutes that tinctures and edibles require.

Hemp cigarettes differ from CBD pre-rolls in form factor. CBD pre-rolls are cone-shaped — wider at the mouthpiece end, narrower at the tip, rolled in hemp or rice paper without a filter. They are familiar to cannabis smokers but require a different handling and smoking technique than a tobacco cigarette. Hemp cigarettes are cylindrical — uniform diameter from end to end, with a filter tip, identical to a tobacco cigarette. For habitual tobacco smokers transitioning away from nicotine, the cigarette format is a significantly lower behavioural change than switching to a cone pre-roll. The ritual — pack, light, draw through a filter — is identical. Hemp cigarettes differ from CBD tinctures in delivery mechanism: inhalation absorbs cannabinoids through the pulmonary capillaries in seconds, bypassing the digestive system entirely, while sublingual tinctures absorb through mucosal tissue over 15 to 45 minutes.

How Does Jeffrey's Compare to Redwood Reserves, Wild Hemp and Other CBD Cigarette Brands?

The hemp cigarette category is led by a handful of established brands that buyers frequently compare when deciding on a hempette. Jeffrey's occupies a specific position within that competitive set.

Jeffrey's vs Redwood Reserves: Redwood Reserves is the most frequently cited competitor in the hemp cigarette market — a farmer-owned brand from Oregon that grows its own hemp and produces cigarettes using whole flower buds only, with no stalks, leaves or additives. Each Redwood Reserves cigarette contains 60 to 100mg of CBD — the three strains are Golden Redwood, Carolina Dream and Wild Bourbon. Redwood Reserves uses a biodegradable white filter tip and is available in natural and menthol, including a flavor-crush menthol variant that activates a cooling finish when the filter capsule is squeezed. Jeffrey's differentiates through its ISO extraction standards, unbleached hemp paper (Redwood's paper specification is less publicised) and the TruFlo filter design. Redwood Reserves offers more flavour variety including the menthol option that Jeffrey's does not currently produce. Both brands use whole flower and biodegradable filters — the comparison favors Jeffrey's on organic certification and paper transparency, and Redwood Reserves on per-stick CBD concentration and flavour range.

Jeffrey's vs Wild Hemp (Hempettes): Wild Hemp is one of the largest-distribution hemp cigarette brands in the US market — available in Virginia Style, Green, Red (Sweet) and Gold variants at 50 to 75mg CBD per stick. Wild Hemp Hempettes are widely stocked in convenience and gas station retail alongside smoke shops. Jeffrey's positions above Wild Hemp on organic certification and ISO processing standards. Wild Hemp's strength is accessibility, variety and broad retail distribution. Jeffrey's strength is the organic, unadulterated full-spectrum whole flower commitment and the TruFlo biodegradable filter — environmental credentials Wild Hemp does not emphasize to the same degree.

Jeffrey's vs Plain Jane: Plain Jane is the budget-focused minimalist brand in the hemp cigarette category — organic hemp flower, clean ingredient list, lowest price point. Some reviewers note Plain Jane does not publish purity testing to the same transparency standard as Jeffrey's full-panel COA approach covering pesticides, herbicides, microbes and heavy metals. Jeffrey's full-panel testing is one of the strongest transparency credentials in the category.

What Is the Jeffrey's Premium CBD Cigarette — TruFlo Filter, Unbleached Paper and 1,000mg Per Pack?

The Jeffrey's Premium Hemp CBD Cigarette is built around three hardware decisions that separate it from both tobacco cigarettes and lower-quality hemp cigarettes. First: the fill itself — 100% organic, unprocessed, unadulterated high-CBD hemp flower run through full ISO lab standards and techniques. Every batch undergoes a full-panel COA covering pesticides, herbicides, microbials and heavy metals. The cannabinoid profile is full-spectrum: CBD, CBDA and CBG alongside trace THC at under 0.3% Delta-9 THC. Over 1,000mg of naturally occurring CBD per pack. No synthetic extraction, no conversion chemistry, no additives.

Second: unbleached natural hemp paper. Standard cigarette rolling paper uses bleached wood pulp treated with chemical agents to achieve its white appearance and burn characteristics. Jeffrey's uses natural hemp paper in unbleached form — no chlorine bleaching, no chemical additives — producing a cleaner burn and eliminating the paper chemistry that bleached tobacco rolling paper introduces. Third: the TruFlo biodegradable filter — a proprietary design addressing both draw consistency and environmental impact. Standard cigarette filters are cellulose acetate, a synthetic plastic-adjacent material that does not biodegrade and represents the most-littered item on Earth at 4.5 trillion discarded annually. Jeffrey's TruFlo is engineered to biodegrade rather than persist as microplastic, aligned with the brand's environmental commitment at the Save the Oceans initiative.

What Is the Full Jeffrey's Hemp Catalog — CBD Cigarettes, Jupiter OG and Lemon Kush Indoor Flower?

Beyond the CBD cigarette format, Jeffrey's Hemp produces two indoor-grown artisan CBD flower cultivars at jeffreyshemp.com — boutique-quality hemp buds for buyers who prefer loose flower over the pre-rolled cigarette format.

Jupiter OG (20% CBD, Indica): The relaxation-focused Jeffrey's cultivar — an Indica-profile hemp strain at 20% CBD positioned for evening use and physical calm. Jeffrey's grows its CBD flower drawing on experience in medicinal cannabis cultivation, redirecting that knowledge into hemp to produce trichome-rich, high-CBD buds with the nose and density of premium cannabis rather than commodity hemp biomass. Jupiter OG is the Relax option in the Jeffrey's flower range.

Cali Lemon Kush (20% CBD, Sativa/Energize): The daytime Jeffrey's cultivar — a Sativa-leaning Lemon Kush at 20% CBD with citrus terpene character associated with uplifting, focus-forward sessions. Positioned as the Energize option alongside Jupiter OG's Relax profile. Both cultivars are indoor-grown, organic, artisan-grade and available in loose bud format at jeffreyshemp.com. A membership program is also available for recurring buyers. Browse every indoor CBD flower and hemp smokeable at ProCannabis for Jeffrey's alongside comparable indoor hemp bud formats.
