The job of a cannabis journalist is never done. We are reading the news and keeping up with legislation updates every day. On that mission, I often find very cute little cannabis accessories along the way. Beginners should fight the urge to get a detailed setup in one go. However, those who have built rituals or enjoy hosting cannabis gatherings have likely realized some gear is required to level up.

This happened to me recently as I started including dabbing and extracts into my routine. I am blessed to have the new Puffco Peak and a personal favorite, the AUXO Cenote, to dab with. Even adding a Hot Knife was not enough. Dabbing requires cotton swabs, alcohol, and little containers, all of which spread out into a big old mess wherever I sesh.
Seeking answers led me to the wide world of dab stations. It also showed what might happen when someone is new to flower, dabs, edibles, or any other weed ritual. Getting a bong for the first time may lead a person to need a poking tool to clear bowls, a bottle brush for cleaning, or an ashtray. Keeping up with the best in weed accessories could solve the clutter or mess that might come with the stoned lifestyle.
Level Heady Bloom Charm
Puffco released Bloom, a new colorway, last year to much fanfare. The light lavender pieces spoke to much of the femme dab community in a landscape of black and metallic offerings. The Bloom Charm has the same culture.
This miniature wax container charm slides on the cap of a Puffco, resting in the elbow joint of the lid as the piece is opened and closed. It is adorable, matches the Bloom colorway perfectly, and adds a bit of spice without being too extra. I’m loving the Level Heady Bloom Charm right now.
Kushling Plushies
I have had my eye on the Kushling plushies from the Little Sproutling Nursery for eons. The personified huggable weed nugs are adorable, handmade, and minky-soft. They are also made with wire armature, which means you can pose them however you like.
If I did not have a toddler who is sure to cover them in applesauce, I would already have a Kushling nestled into my couch, but some things are worth waiting for. Those who like these creatures should give the nursery a follow. A new drop of weed-themed stuffies is set to drop soon.
Mini Turtle Sandbox Ash Tray
Most Millennials remember playing in a sandbox shaped like a giant turtle at some point. I know that I do. The Mini Turtle Sandbox Ashtray from JLB CreationsNDesign speaks to that nostalgia.
This piece is available in five colors, and can be ordered as an ashtray with notches or for dollhouses or miniature collectors without notches. Either way, it needs sand inside, as the 3D-printed object can melt under extreme heat, like joint cherries. Do not use this ashtray empty. Fill ‘er up with hobby sand from the craft store and ash that blunt into pleasant memories of simpler times.

Huf Plantlife Socks

Another common experience for Millennials is watching new generations reimagine the styles that permeated our high school experience. I swear I saw someone styling a Bump-It the other day. As the cycles of fashion roll on, it is only a matter of time until the Party Rock neons come back around, and the crew socks of today will obviously go full ‘foo’ and meet the jorts eventually.
Those trends combine in one weed-themed place that once had the culture in a chokehold: Huf Plantlife Socks. The brand never took them off the lineup, maybe because they still have a loyal fanbase. I think the Huf fan leaf socks will experience a popularity resurgence in the next few years. You heard it here first–I think.
Cat Paw Pipe
Cat lovers are often also lovers of cute, little, toe beans. For those who don’t speak feline, this is how people refer to kitty toes, which look like little rubber beans on their paws.
The Cat Paw Pipe speaks to those who love cute toe beans. It is white with pink toes, and the bowl sits where the foot pad would be. The pipe is made in Los Angeles by Cosmos Art Ceramics, and you can get a matching stash jar if you desire.
Edie Parker Swimsuit Lighter Keychain
Every lighter needs a cover when they are as chic and adorable as the Edie Parker Swimsuit keychain from the Boobs on Drugs collection. The polished silver one-piece swimsuit for a lighter is so hilarious that I simply need it. This addition to my accessory arsenal will mean my lighter is always stylish and at the tip of my fingers.

Blazy Susan Out of this World Tray
After a decade in operation, Blazy Susan knows what stoners need. The rotating rolling and storage trays are a one-stop shop for organizing the little pieces that go into a cannabis hobby. Lately, I’ve been embracing my inner maximalist, which draws me to the Out of this World Tray.
This is the first artist-submitted tray, created by Chandler Condon, in the lineup of over 10 styles. It is printed with an alien abduction featuring stoned rabbits and even a little Blazy Susan. Outfitted with spaces for their dab stations, ashtray, and other accouterment. Regular dabbers and weed smokers will appreciate a place to put all of the things they use daily.
Sackville Moon is High Joint Locker
Adorable places to store a lighter are clearly on my list lately because the Sackville Moon is High Joint Locker keeps grabbing my attention. Going to see a show downtown or traipse onto a forest trail for a high sometimes requires a to-go joints. Not everyone has a doob tube at the ready, and sometimes they get too old to keep. Glass joint tubes don’t age as quickly as plastic, but may break in a bag, too.
Sackville answers the call for on-the-go joint storage with the Moon Is High Joint Locker. The accessory holds a lighter and rollie in one cute package adorned with a stoned Moon graphic reminiscent of a Rummikub piece.
Cannabis skincare lines are growing
Our skin is our greatest accessory, and research shows cannabis may help keep it supple and fresh. Two new weed skincare lines are available now, and as someone who loves treating herself to these products, I had to try them. GALYNA CBD skincare offers a luxury experience from the container to its contents. This brand released a night cream, pain relief lotion, and repair balm. I liked all of them, and didn’t break out at all.
Wiregrass Wellness, an Alabama-based brand fueled by Samson Extracts, put out an almost complete skincare routine recently. All the girls are here among the five products: retinol, hyaluronic acid, collagen, and more. The line includes two serums, a nourishing cream, and elixir, and an exfoliating lotion all completed by various quantities of CBD.
Each is inspired by the Alabama Wiregrass region with names like The Suwannee, The Honeysuckle, The Camellia, The Samson, and The Geneva. Expert formulation, quality ingredients, and intentionality make this skincare line worth a try.
Great accessories make the experience even better
Over-consumption is not the vibe, but having functional accessories that enhance a cannabis ritual is. These cute little weed things serve a purpose that contributes to ease of use, clean storage, or pure, joyful whimsy. All are necessary, in my opinion.
