A smokable product is an organolepticly homogenous smokable material comprising shredded hemp paper that has been treated with a solution of cannabinoids and terpenes, and a wrapping paper to hold the smokable material in a rolled form. A method includes grinding cannabis plants, removing terpenes and cannabinoids from the cannabis plants, leaving cannabis fibers, pulping the cannabis fibers to produce hemp paper, shredding the hemp paper to produce shredded paper, combining at least the terpenes and cannabinoids into a solution based upon a predetermined formula, spraying the shredded paper with the solution to produce smokable material, and rolling the smokable material into a cigarette.

A method for coating a paper drinking straw, an apparatus for coating a paper drinking straw, and a coated drinking straw assembly are disclosed. The apparatus includes a dipping tank containing a liquid bath for coating a straw when submerged in the liquid and a straw engagement means for submerging the straw in the bath. The method includes receiving an uncoated paper drinking straw and submerging the straw in a bath containing a water-resistant and/or a water-soluble coating. The drinking straw assembly includes an elongate tubular body and a coating that has been applied to all surfaces of the straw by submerging the body in a bath containing the coating.

A method of forming a coating on a cylindrical paperboard container having a closed end. The method includes the steps of heating a gas from a first temperature to a second temperature; providing the gas to a first inlet of a nozzle; providing a polymer in a liquid state at a third temperature; providing the polymer to a second inlet of the nozzle; and spraying the polymer onto the cylindrical paperboard container using the nozzle; wherein the second temperature is greater than the third temperature; and the second temperature and third temperature are such that the gas maintains the polymer in the liquid state at least until the polymer comes into contact with the cylindrical paperboard container. A system for applying a coating to a plurality of cylindrical paperboard containers and a container for a consumer product are also provided.

Methods of analyzing a sheet of paper, and methods of preparing paper are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a method for preparing paper includes applying a paper additive to a first sheet of paper using an initial production technique. The first sheet of paper is sectioned into a first section and a second section, where the first sheet of paper has a top surface defined in an X-Y plane, where a Z axis is perpendicular to the X-Y plane, and where the first and second sections are defined at different positions along the Z axis. A paper additive concentration is measured in the first and second sections, and the initial production technique is adjusted to a subsequent production technique to influence a paper additive concentration profile along the Z axis.
