Finding the right gift for a loved one who has a more … commercial hobby (cooking, crafting, reading) can be overwhelming enough. But if that loved one enjoys partaking in something more niche, like cannabis, and you do not, the task can be even more challenging. Still, the growing legalization movement has led to a rise in novel, delightful, and practical stuff for cannabis users. To find the best of the best cannabis-related gifts, I asked 23 other enthusiasts — including educators, influencers, and notable tokers — about their favorite gifts for folks like themselves and included some of my own favorite tried-and-true presents. Below are 30 gifts that range from smokable floral arrangements to an edibles-making machine and a display-worthy water pipe (all of which are available to ship nationwide).
But before we get to the gift ideas, Datrianna Meeks, founder of the newsletter Up in Smoke, reminds us of an important point: “We should be conscious cannabis consumers and actively work to undo the effects of the war on drugs.” As writer Kayla Levy notes in her guide to navigating the new regulations on recreational cannabis use in New Jersey (where it was recently legalized), it is important to remember that there are thousands of people — the majority of whom are Black, brown, or otherwise nonwhite — who are currently incarcerated for cannabis-related offenses. That’s why this list includes some gifts that give back (if such a gift sounds more your recipient’s speed, be sure to check out our list of places to donate in support of Black and brown lives, too).
