Due to the mature recreational cannabis market in California (which has existed since January 2018) and the accelerating pace of technological advancement, this holiday season ushered in a large number of cannabis-themed gifts and gadgets. From old-fashioned tools and high-tech toys to low-dose foods that you carry with you, almost everyone who loves pots for whom you plan to choose a gift can find something suitable.
As early as 1970, Proto Pipe, headquartered in Willitz, California, provided the world with the Swiss Army Knife of Pot Pipe. It is almost indestructible, it is a perfect palm-sized, hand-processed brass sheet, has a rotatable closure lid and a permanent screen, a storage compartment that can hold about five bowls of herbs (the closed end can be used as a tamper) and An onboard poker that holds the entire shebang together-when it is not used to clean the screen or bowl. In addition to the classic model (which has hardly changed since 1976), there is also the newer Rocket (pictured) with a rounder bowl and a resin collector that can be turned on for easy cleaning.
Of course, it has a pot-related pun (lazy Susan flame = hot Susan, understand?) for concentrates), special plugs for storing cans, grinders, lighters and other smoking equipment Groove-makes it both fun and practical. Available in a variety of painted and natural wood finishes (including pink, with modular silicone ashtrays and DAB station plug-ins in the picture, and other separately sold accessories).
If a can of Red Bull has a lover with a flashlight, it might look a lot like Staze's smooth plastic storage tank, thanks to a thick unscrewed bottle cap with a built-in vacuum pump. Simply unscrew the top screw, put up to 1/4 ounce of weed in it, close it and pump until you hear a satisfying click. Prosperity! You have created a hermetic vacuum seal that can extend the life of your buds. There is also a carbon filter under that lid, which makes this lightweight, portable jar also deodorant. Sold separately or in three-piece sets (pictured).

The standard problem cannabis herb grinder is a squat, practical thing that feels more suitable for a research laboratory than a living room. This is not the case with the two grinders that the Serra pharmacy chain and Hemson Collection collaborated on. (Other items include a rolling tray and pre-rolled tips.) Made from pale beech wood, the collaboration includes Bobb (similar to a stylish egg timer) and Pillar (pictured), the latter completely gave us a handmade salt cellar a feeling of.
Since the humble rolling pallet is the starting point for many successful smokers, consider a gift and, by ordering a custom pallet from this company in San Fernando, make the first stop of the voyage to the inner space truly memorable and personal. All you need to do (apart from planning ahead-the turnaround time is up to three weeks) is to upload your own artwork, photos or logos, adjust the image on the tray-shaped template, and click a few buttons. Before you say "holiday", your best friend will pack personalized work into a bowl, from favorite family photos to the last doping doodle you leave in a hurry.
Giving an ashtray as a holiday gift-even for a stubborn weed head-may sound like a ridiculous suggestion, but please listen to us. Because of the pandemic, those who consume marijuana in society have to figure out how and where to ignite it in a way that minimizes the risk of transmission. And, according to experts, this means setting up your sesh outdoors whenever possible. In turn, this means having an ashtray on hand that can clear joints you don't share at all or empty pipes you don't pass through. That's why (see, we told you we will get there) Session's smoked glass ashtray is worth considering. For the non-slip silicone footer, the removable tapered debowler in the center, or the two notches for placing the pre-roll (although these are thoughtful touches that add to the overall appeal), it's not so much a silicone cover as it is to let it The perfect silicone cover can be carried even in half-full ashes. (Anyone who tries to move a dirty ashtray more than a few feet knows the potential disaster.)
Earlier this year, the flagship product of the local cannabis brand Drew Martin was a series of plant-infused pre-rolled joints (think rose petals and mint or lavender and passionflower), in collaboration with Los Angeles-based Heretic Parfum to create Herbalist, which It is a perfume Drew Martin co-founder Andrew Freeman said this may be the first THC perfume to be put on the market. (Most cannabis-themed scents try to replicate the smelly terpene odors usually associated with cannabis by using THC-free terpenes extracted from plants.) Lavender, cypress, grapefruit, and Jack Herer cannabis varieties The combination produces a unisex spicy smell, citrus, lively, and light. bad news? Although it won't change your mind (at least in the amount you might tap on each wrist), it does contain THC, so you need to buy it at a licensed pharmacy. good news? After launching the 50ml ($180) bottle on April 20th, the collaborator launched a 10ml roll-on size, which is perfect for the toes of that special person's socks.
If your gift list includes canned purists who like to drink, consider tucking Purejuana's series of hemp-infused soluble powders under the tree. Designed to transform any beverage into a THC-enhanced beverage, this Los Angeles-based company’s cannabis blended beverage stands out by a manufacturing process that manages to preserve the natural flavor characteristics of potted plants (it involves rapid freezing and sustainable cultivation The flowers come from two farms in northern California), which gives the resulting drink (especially if it is a neutral drink such as water or soda) a weedy, terpene-rich granule. Vegan, gluten-free and low-calorie, purejauna is positioned as a "dry spirit"-not a "wet spirit" like gin, tequila or vodka-offering three THC doses (2.5 mg , 5 mg and 10 mg) and four specific strain flavors (Venom OG, Blue Dream, Super Lemon Haze and XJ-13) are packed in 10 boxes, and more flavors will be launched soon.
It may look like that ordinary unisex fanny pack-the crowd you are running with-may put your pot in it when you go out, but no matter how much slimy stuff you use to stuff it in , It will not smell like a messenger bag full of weeds. This is because this is a joint project between Higher Standards, a manufacturer of high-end smoking accessories, and Revelry Supply, a bag brand designed specifically to absorb odors. Details include carbon filter, rubber lining, waterproof zipper and hardware. The latter two features help to give the bag another important feature: it is also waterproof. Hello, Splash Mountain, goodbye, wet hideout!
Chef and entrepreneur Nicholas Pritzker (one of the founders of Drew Martin) and the first 11 Madison Park pastry chef Manuela Sanin have collaborated to create a series of exquisite, pleasant and emotionally infused candies. These candies It's almost too beautiful. eat. This high-end candy store in Culver City is called Cloud11 (two better than Cloud 9). At the end of this summer, it launched three instant flavors that incorporate gourmet ingredients: salted peanuts (the peanut butter on the cup) Impromptu, including peanut butter ganache and a pinch of sea salt from Amagansett Sea Salt Co.); black sesame and grapefruit (made with Hedawan sesame paste sourced directly from Japan); and strawberry pink pepper (pictured) using Harry The berries-Cadillac of Southern California strawberries. There are 11 cans in each flavor, and there are two dosage options: 2 mg THC/2 mg CBD or 4 mg THC and 4 mg CBD. A single can (one flavor and one dose) is $90, and a double can (two flavors and two dosage levels) is $170.
Not everyone has such a stone friend. When you are ready to take an adventure, his mobile phone battery always seems to hover around 23%? Consider giving him or her a gift of strength-and invisibility-like this battery pack with a secret storage room, big enough to store a pre-rolled connector or a few e-cigarette pens. The flip cover contains two built-in pockets for storing credit cards or ID cards and a strap (for fixing joints or gears), and the stainless steel inner tray is magnetized to prevent metal objects from rolling and making noise. It has a USB-C charging input, two outputs (one USB, the other USB-C), and is equipped with three USB-to-Apple Lightning/USB-C/USB mini charging cables.
Because of the way most concentrates are made, cannabis purists tend to sneer at disposable vape pens (for starters, add industrial flavoring instead of stripped terpenes). But last year, the Los Angeles-based startup PodTones launched a series of stylish, colorful (think sock-sized) four pre-installed single-plant vaporization pens (called Chill, Dream, Fun and Up), but these pens cannot provide Ease of use at the expense of taste. The answer lies in extracting THC-containing rosin from the cannabis plant without using chemicals (the people at PodTones first freeze the freshly harvested lumps and use a process called ice water extraction). But don’t believe our words (although you really should): Earlier this year, the 710 Farmers Cup in San Diego honored this gift idea with the "Best Smokeability" award, ranking it among the best in 25 brand areas. Each 300 mg pod contains more than one-eighth ounce (3.5 grams) of hemp flowers.
If you have a DIY streak of kitchen cannabis lovers on your list, consider this cute enough countertop machine, which is about the same as the late salesman Ron Popeil's "set and forget it" mantra with just a few clicks Press the button to turn the raw hemp flower into THC-infused oil and butter. It is not just for the pursuit of high-quality food. It can be used to quickly dry other plants, such as basil, lavender, and rosemary, and then can be used to upgrade salad dressings, dips, and coffee beverages to the next level.
"The art of hemp cooking: CBD and THC infusion recipes from all over the United States" is the fifth cookbook by author Tracey Medeiros. His first few books explored New England cookbooks (three are named Vermont and the fourth is Connecticut State). Here, she broadened her horizons (hence the "from all over the United States" section of the title) and narrowed her scope to focus on recipes containing THC (the psychoactive ingredient in hemp) or its hemp-derived cousin CBD. Arranged by geographic region (mostly from the Northeast, South, and West), it includes mini profiles of chefs and brands, whose recipes are featured. The best part is that it showcases a variety of dishes that go beyond the tired brownie clichés. They include hemp-cured salmon, assorted jam and squid ink rice crackers, with boiled pickled radishes and mashed avocado. There is also a chocolate cake recipe, which is a s'mores chocolate cake that induces the next level. Each square contains chocolate chips, crushed graham biscuits, mini marshmallows and 10 mg of THC.
Nowadays, celebrities breed a dime (bag), but indoor plants-launched in the US by old friends and creative collaborators Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg earlier this year ("Super Bad", "Interview" , "This is the end" and the "Pineapple Express" centered on weeds)-very special. Part of the reason is the well-designed perfect gift packaging: squat, stackable, brightly colored tin boxes (orange for alfalfa varieties, pink for indica rice, and green for hybrid varieties) that look like high-end tea cans. The larger part is the herb itself; a strain selected by a professional weed manager and named after various weather phenomena. If you are lucky enough to find it in stock, we recommend Rogen's preferred strain. Known as pancake ice, it is a cross between Chemdawg and Mandarin biscuits, and its THC content exceeds 33%. (We take a breath and watch a jewellery tree pass over the chest of drawers. To be honest.)
You can always rely on local SoCal-cool Commune Design craftsmen to enter the holiday season with carefully designed and gift-worthy tools. Last year, it was a cast stoneware pipe made in collaboration with Alex Reed. This year, it is a simple and elegant borosilicate glass tube, designed in collaboration with glass craftsman Nate Cotterman and manufactured in Penland, North Carolina, in three soothing colors (lilac, amber and cobalt).
If someone on your list has never fully mastered the art of rolling joints, please consider the gift that keeps on giving (okay, rolling), a milling and filling joint rolling robot-straight out of Culver City-which makes a twisting like a press It's as easy as pressing a button. We’re not just blowing smoke; when Otto first went on the market in 2018, we tested it (you can find the video online), and it’s been on our behalf ever since. (It comes with two boxes of slow-burning, refillable paper tubes. If you are sending a high roller, you can buy additional paper tubes to stuff them into their socks.)
One of the miracles of the modern cannabis movement is how many different ways are there to get THC (the main psychoactive component of cannabis) into the body; through the lungs (combustibles), stomach (edible) and skin (for external use). Kin Slips is called sublingual, meaning that it is designed to be placed under the tongue to dissolve and absorb into the blood. This means two things: 1) faster onset of action and 2) because it is not metabolized by the liver (just like edible), Gauguin is similar to (see what we do there?) smoking. Each strip that looks (and dissolves) like a Listerine breathing strip is individually packaged in an extremely thin envelope (10 to a can), which means that one or two can be easily stuffed into a wallet or business card case ( Anyone? Don’t use business cards anymore?) and consume it like opening a piece of gum. There are four different formulas to choose from, three of which contain 10 mg of THC per serving, and the other contains 5 mg of CBD and 5 mg of THC.
There is high-end, and then the real high-end. Devambez is a French brand that originated in the 19th century to provide stationery for French presidents and European royal families with letterheads. It definitely belongs to the latter category. It provides smoking sets with a gold emerald top of 980 US dollars, a 24-carat gold emerald top, and molded glass and silver lids for US$795. ashtray. Its main product is luxury roll paper; it is made from organic hemp grown in the Champagne region and milled into watermarked paper in southern France. The glue line (the sticky part that tightly seals the rolling joint) is a vegan, pesticide-free gum arabic collected from trees in Senegal. The Imperial is a bold booklet consisting of 32 extra-large rolls of paper wrapped in a tissue paper booklet with crest embossing. It will be a thoughtful (if short-lived) gift. Think of it as giving cannabis connoisseurs everything that can wrap it.
Remember that using a gravity gun meant deploying a chopped gallon milk jug in the kitchen sink? Times have changed (a lot), and using the power of water-and the gravity of the earth-the pursuit of cannabis consumption has received a futuristic and elegant transformation (well, as elegant as a puff of smoke from a hookah hose) Probably) Made of anodized aluminum and borosilicate glass, it is as easy to use as literally rotating this device. It is flexible and beautiful, because in addition to a large bowl, it can also be connected to any smoking device (such as an evaporator or concentrator) through a 14 mm male connector.
Select’s low-calorie, vegan, and gluten-free liquid-based, light blend product line makes this drinkable canned beverage easy to carry, thanks to a pocket-sized bottle that can accurately measure 5 mg doses (3 per bottle). ​​0 g) Fill the filling-pour out the reservoir by squeezing the side of the bottle (hence the name). Unlike many cannabis-containing products that contain distribution challenges beyond certain state boundaries (because it is illegal at the federal level and cannabis cannot cross state boundaries), Squeeze, which was launched earlier this year, is currently available for purchase by consumers not only in California, And in 15 other states, marijuana is legal either medically or recreationally. Flavors include watermelon, strawberry lemonade, light sweetness and lemon lime.
