9 things to know about hemp cigarettes

This is the single biggest quality difference in the category and almost nobody talks about it. Flower is the top of the plant. Trim, shake and stems are what is left over. Trim is cheaper, harsher, and very common.

A lot of brands also blend hemp with mullein, sage or peppermint leaf to cut cost or soften the burn. That is a legitimate choice, but you should know it is happening before you decide. Count the ingredients on the pack.

Full Moons is one ingredient. Sun-grown hemp flower, 0.8g a cigarette, no shake, no stems, no fillers.

Tobacco-free is a vague phrase and it gets used loosely across the category. It tells you a plant is absent. It does not tell you a compound is absent, and some herbal products do contain added nicotine.

What you want on a label is both words. No tobacco, no nicotine. Full Moons has neither, and neither was removed from anything. Hemp flower is the whole of what you are lighting.

We are a cigarette company and we are not a cessation product. We make no health claim of any kind, and if a brand in this category tells you its cigarettes help with cravings, that is not a feature, it is a compliance problem.

Hemp and marijuana are the same species. The difference is chemistry, not botany. Hemp is bred for cannabidiol rather than THC, which is why it burns and draws like a cigarette without doing what a joint does.

Every batch is lab tested and the certificate of analysis is published, so you can check the number rather than take our word for it. Read the current tests.

This is the answer most of the category buries, and it should be near the top. A standard screen is not looking for intoxication. It is looking for metabolites, and hemp produces them.

Not intoxicating and not detectable are two different claims. We will only make the first one.

If you are tested for work, know that going in.

Worth planning for. Lighting one on a balcony reads as cannabis to a neighbour, whatever the lab test says. Some people like that. Some people would rather it did not.

The unlit pack is a different question. Full Moons ships and stores in plain, scent-free packaging, with no logos on the box and no mention of hemp on the label.

Hemp flower is lighter and less dense than cured tobacco, so it goes quicker. That is normal and it is not a defect. A tightly packed cigarette burns more evenly than a loosely packed one, which is another reason fill quality matters.

If you smoked menthol before, start with the cooled version rather than the original.

The 2018 Farm Bill made hemp federally legal. It did not stop individual states from writing their own rules, and several have banned smokable hemp specifically rather than hemp in general.

Any brand worth trusting enforces this at checkout rather than leaving it to you. A site that will happily take an order into a state that prohibits the product tells you how the rest of the operation is run.

Federal law is also moving. A change to how THC is measured takes effect in late 2026, and it will reshape what is sold in this category. Our current state list is here, and it changes the same day the law does.

Cheap packs in this category are almost always cheap because of what is inside them. Trim and filler cost less than flower, and the saving comes back to you as a harsher smoke.

The unit language is worth knowing, because brands are inconsistent about it. A pack is twenty cigarettes. A carton is ten packs.

No logos on the box, no mention of hemp on the label. Pre-order items ship as soon as they are available.

Age is verified at the entrance to the site, and depending on where you live an adult signature may be required at delivery. That is not us being cautious for the sake of it. It is what keeps a brand in this category able to operate.
