Achieve your ideal high with Potpots

Kicking things off on our list is a product that I’ve been a long-time fan of: Potpots (formerly known as Potdots). Unlike “standard dose” 10mg THC gummies, each M&M-like potpot candy contains 1 mg of THC a piece. This means that whether you’re just looking to dip your toes into a relaxing time with light effects or get fully baked until the munchies take over, Potpots let you get there at your own pace. If you’ve had a tenuous relationship with edibles, there’s a good chance Potpots will make you a convert.

Potpots are available in both 100-piece bags and 10-piece tubes. They are also available in dark chocolate.

Price: $15

For those looking for a restful night that ends in some of the best sleep you’ll ever have, look no further than Petra cannabis mints from Kiva Confections.

While this company is better known for its line of chocolate bars, their Petra mints (which Kiva bills as specifically for microdosing) are my go-to lights-out companion.

My favorite flavor: Blackberry CBN. With 2.5 mg of THC and 1 mg of CBN, these strike a perfectly balanced high that gently carries me into the next day.

Up your flower game with Wojo

Prices vary

Michigan’s recreational weed prices keep dropping at a quick pace, with the average ounce selling for only $74 during October.

And while that’s excellent news for anybody looking to re-up this holiday season, those low prices don’t usually mean the best quality when it comes to what you’re picking up.

If you’re looking to go the extra mile with your gift of flower this holiday season, consider something more top-shelf, like from the fine folks at Wojo Co. This group of experienced northern Michigan cannabis caregivers is putting out some of the best products in the state—everything from flower to pre-rolls, edibles, and more. One of their best-known strains is Wojo Mints, which won 1st place at the 2018 Michigan High Times Cannabis Cup. They’re currently one of chief cannabis correspondent Kyle Kaminski’s go-to brands.

Level up from your janky grinder

Price: Starting at $35

No matter what type of flower you’re smoking—whether it’s top shelf or somewhere in between—there’s one obstacle every stoner must face: Breaking the nugs for consumption.

While grinders have been the go-to for decades now, there’s a new player in town that’s doing the job much better: The Flower Mill.

Where a traditional grinder works by cutting and shredding your flower apart, it comes with a caveat—separating trichomes from the plant.

Instead, the flower mill works by rolling and crumbling your flower to deliver a more potent product with better consistency. You’ll never grind the same way again.

For micro-hits on the go

Price: Starting at $15

When you hear microdosing, there’s a high chance your mind goes straight to edibles. But if you’ve ever wanted to take that concept and apply it to smoking, allow me to introduce you to The Dart.

While the concept of a one-hitter is nothing new, this discrete pipe takes it to the next level. Its 0.15g herb chamber (in the smallest model) is perfect for people who want to consume cannabis without overdoing it. It also takes it up a notch by including a spring-loaded button for controlled dosing, adjustable airflow, and ash ejection. Its compact form factor also means it can go anywhere you do.

It’s been my go-to smoking device for more than a year now, and I can’t recommend it enough. It comes in various sizes and models (and colors!), the cheapest of which is only $15.

Attain Pre-roll perfection with Blazy Susan

Price: $21.99 for 50 1-1/4″ cones

Let me know if this has ever happened to you; you’ve got friends over to your place for dinner, maybe some games, and a bottle of wine or two. You’re all unwinding when someone comes up with an idea: “We should roll a joint!” Everybody loves it and gets excited, and then you’re trying to figure out who can roll the best joint. “I can do it!” Your friend Brad says before taking 30 minutes to roll out a lumpy, wet, slightly torn mess of a joint. You all smoke it, pretending it’s okay, but it’s not. You vow to yourself, “this can’t happen again.”

Avoid the fuss next time with Blazy Susan’s pre-rolled cones, which make packing joints a breeze. And when the night is over, you can send your buddies home with extras, too. Blazy Susan cones come in all sorts of colors and varieties (including a Grateful Dead version for the deadhead in your life).

Their new favorite lighter

Price: $33

One of the most pesky things about the lighters we all use is that they’re not really made to be used upside down, which is how we tend to hold them while smoking. I’ve certainly burned my hand more times than I care to admit while getting things going.

That’s where the Carbon lighter from Vessel comes in, featuring several upgrades to a conventional lighter, including a refillable inverted design with an angled flame port for use right side up or upside down, an adjustable candle flame, and a ring design that lets you hold it comfortably in whatever form you choose to light it.

This ain’t your grandma’s ginger ale

Price: $24.99 for 4

There’s a revolution going on as more people are putting down the booze and instead choosing to imbibe in THC-infused beverages. Earlier this year, MichiGanja Report readers voted Sweet Justice as their cannabis drink of choice.

With the holiday season coming up, I figured what better stocking stuffer for the stoners among us than a ginger-ale-flavored beverage.

As Kyle put it earlier this year, “the warm, spicy flavors make it a perfect hoodie season beverage that pairs well with other autumn favorites like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.”

Take smoking to new, surprising highs

Price: Starting at $25

We’re closing out the list with something a little bit different. If you’re still unsure of what to get for your favorite stoner this holiday season, let the folks at Fat Ass Glass decide for you by way of a holiday mystery box.

The boxes come in different tiers ranging in price from $25 to $250 and can include anything from “water pipes, rolling trays, grinders, papers, pipes, chillums, bubblers, oil rigs, dabbers, carb caps, quartz bangers, ceramic nails, silicone jars, dab mats, drop downs, reclaim catchers, and much more.”

Maybe the gift will encourage new cannabis explorations?
