If it feels like the world of cannabis (marijuana) has matured, you’re not imagining it. More and more, cannabis users are beginning to favor beautifully made ceramic pipes, high-tech vaporizers, and stash boxes that feel like they’re actually meant to be seen.
That’s obviously thanks, at least in part, to the growing legalization movement in the United States. In fact, just last month, New York became the latest state to legalize the use of recreational marijuana. The rise in cannabis products is also thanks to the ever-expanding world of CBD, a compound in cannabis that doesn’t get you high but can be found in food, skin-care products, bath soaks, and a million other places, introducing many more people to the world of cannabinoids than would ever visit a dispensary.
All of this has helped normalize medical and recreational cannabis use across the country. Unfortunately, those movements haven’t brought everyone with them. Many people—primarily people of color—are still behind bars or getting arrested for possessing or using cannabis. So, if you’re looking for a gift for someone who already has more glass pipes than fit on their coffee table, consider giving in their name to organizations like Equity First Alliance, Cage-Free Cannabis, or the Drug Policy Alliance that are trying to counteract the damage of the drug war.
Of course, you can do that and still buy them something they can actually hold. Here are some of the most stylish and genuinely useful weed gifts out there that any cannabis enthusiast would enjoy receiving—on 4/20 or any other day.
