Doing the holiday shopping. Any good ideas? - Quan Za
Oh yes. I love the winter holidays! I feel like people should practice gift-giving year-round and not just when it’s cold outside or someone has a birthday. Anyway, weed is always a great gift. Giving your cannabis colleagues a nug or a doobie or a nice wax will make you very popular during the holidays. If you can afford it, look into the “weed of the month club” at www.potbox.com. It’s like Harry and David’s, but for pot. I will take a Sweet Island Skunk over a Summer Sausage just about any day of the week. If you would rather just give cool marijuana-themed gear, www.canabox.com is Lootcrate for potheads.
Books are the gifts that keep on giving. Books about marijuana look great on the coffee table and are handy reference guides for the budding chronnoisseur, Green Candy Press (www.greencandypress.com) and Ed Rosenthal’s Quick Trading Co. (quicktrading.com) are my two favorite publishers.
Winter is also a great time for cooking and eating. A little extra meat on your bones will help you and your stoned friends stay warm. Make some cannabis-infused butter or olive oil and turn your friends’ Netflix and chill time into a stony delight. Homemade cookies and cakes and pies, or even caramel popcorn balls, are always a hit. Make sure clearly label your cannabis-infused goodies and make all your homies fat and happy.
One last thing: I know Hanukkah is almost over, but an awesome menorah-style bong from 420 Science (www.420science.com/GRAV-Menorah) would look great on anyone’s mantel.
I have been using the Iolite and the Pax vaporizer. Now I find the oil/wax vaporizers much more convenient. What are your recommendations for the best and least-expensive oil/wax vaporizers today? -P.A.
Man, I totally forgot to mention that art glass and cool pipes and vaporizers and all that groovy stuff also make great gifts. The Pax is still my fave flower vape, and I really like OGPens and Dabstix for oils and concentrates. OGPens is a California-based (Sacramento) company, so if you are into that whole “Support the locals” type thing, they would be a great option. Hit them at www.OGpens.com.
