I have been considering making some out of our favorite plant.... or at least part of the waste... stems and fans...... don't know when but if anyone else wants to try.
How to make paper from plants and recycled paper (http://www.handmadepapercards.info/aboutpapermaking.html)

Should be, or at least hope it's even better then a blunt.... will see some day.

This is not the exact procedure to use, as I don't know what chemicals ect... are used.... just a rough idea to go by.

Plus will use males.

This sounds great! I'd call their listed ph # to find out how much alum to use, since it didn't say (alum is very bitter), & don't be disapointed if it comes out too brittle to roll. Should that happen, call them back & see if they can offer advice on making the paper more pliable, say you need it that way for origami. I've made rag paper for water color & other art. It's fun, BUT MESSY AS HELL! When you get a recipe down for this, I hope you plan to share! Would love to try it, but I'll let you iron out the kinks first. I'm lazy! :) ~~~PEACE! ~~~
