Sophisticated Smoking Accessories

The aesthetics of cannabis have taken a sharp turn away from what you’d find at the neighbourhood head shop even five years ago. It may not be surprising that the creative class is spearheading the movement towards a more design-forward smoking experience. As recreational use of the plant becomes legal in Canada, we share a selection of companies and artisans that are helping to redefine cannabis culture with a new crop of beautiful smoking accessories.

Summerland The Land Yacht.

Regardless of whether you’re using cannabis to augment a night with friends or you’ve been prescribed a dose by your physician, there’s a stylish accessory to meet your needs and taste. Among the creative innovations from Edmonton’s Concrete Cat studio are a range of pipes in the brand’s signature, whimsically marbled style. For the minimalist, New York’s Love + Destroy has 3-D-printed pipes in sophisticated finishes. There’s little shame in leaving out your paraphernalia when brands like Summerland offer handmade ceramic pieces so sculptural they can double as decor.

Doja Blue Rolling Tray by Wandering Bud.

Up-and-coming brands like Tofino’s Laundry Day promote cannabis use as a part of a wellness routine, elevating the experience to a self-care ritual. Dispensaries have become community hubs, looking more like cafés or boutiques than their fluorescent-lit forebearers. Setting a precedent for these experience-oriented cannabis businesses, Kelowna start-up Doja pairs its locally grown cannabis with a collection of high-end smoking accessories and lifestyle goods from independent makers.

Thanks to brands like these, getting high never looked so sophisticated.
