Discover the best marijuana accessories and brands

 Laundry Day

Launching Laundry Day in 2018, maker & artisan Vic Ashley wanted to ‘to change the visual narrative behind cannabis use and normalize smokeware via thoughtful, modern design’. A couple of years on, and the brand offers a full range of smoking accessories, including pipes in glass and ceramic, trays and lighters in bold colours. 

Soon after launching, however, Ashley noticed that her distinctive pieces were often bought to use as home decor by non-smokers – prompting her to add a line of homeware goods such as candles and vessels to the range with the plan to further expand into furniture and interiors in the future. 

Laundry Day’s aluminium grinders are a fitting embodiment of the brand’s ethos, inspired by modernist architecture and featuring a minimalist, unassuming design. The sculptural Silo Grinder is imagined as a discrete tabletop object and features four compartments that connect via a magnet; two portions for grinding, a middle chamber to collect ground herb, and a bottom compartment to gather excess kief.

Weed'd

Led by designer Simone Bonanni, Weed'd is a Milanese brand of smoking accessories made by Italian craftsmen. 'Wee'd does not perceive the act of smoking as an opportunity to get high, but rather as
a chance to slow down, relax and take a break from the hectic pace of modern life,' reads a statement introducing the brand. For the first collection, Bonanni created his own version of a bong, also asking Valerio Sommella and Maddalena Casadei to do the same. Made of ceramic and each available in three colours, the bongs were soon joined by a flurry of bold, colourful accessories, from pipes to ashtrays.

Houseplant by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg

Actor Seth Rogen and film producer Evan Goldberg joined forces to launch cannabis brand Houseplant in their native Canada in 2018 (later expanding their offering with cannabis delivery to California). Selling one-of-a-kind marijuana as well as related accessories, born from, as Rogen puts it, ‘our love and passion for cannabis, design, and art.’

Houseplant has since expanded its reach offering a series of household pieces to complement the cannabis experience. The Housegoods collection includes a marble lamp and a clay ashtray set designed by Rogen to ‘evoke a sense of nostalgia while sliding seamlessly into a modern lifestyle’. The set is the result of Rogen’s newfound love for ceramics, and comes after years of research and development: the ashtray features a deep well (to avoid ashes flying away), a generous notch and a compartment to hold essentials such as a lighter.

Vessel

Hailing from Carlsbad, California, Vessel is ‘a community-led company that uplifts the cannabis consumption experience with luxury accessories.’ The brand’s offering includes thoughtfully-designed cannabis vape pen batteries as well as dry-herb accessories, created with sustainability in mind and a tech approach.

Founded by tech, wellness and sports enthusiast entrepreneur James Choe, Vessel started as ‘a collaborative environment to inspire both the people within the company and the consumer.’ The Vessel cannabis devices include details such as optimized airflow technology, extra-long battery life and low temperature settings.

Summerland

Summerland Ceramics was founded with a mission to ‘change the way we think about bongs and to promote a cleaner, more sustainable way to smoke’. The San Francisco-based brand offers bongs that are hand-crafted and come with a glaze option. The Summerland bongs are available in three shapes and sizes, and are designed to offer a safe experience, avoiding the smoke and ash resulting from pipe use. The company’s small-batch production is entirely made by hand in Northern California, using local clay to create functional and beautiful pieces. 

Omura

Designed by Michael Young, next-generation cannabis device Omura Series X is a new whole flower vaporizer fitted with a heat-not-burn technology. The device allows for the benefits of the whole flower without the combustion, and the brand offers uniquely developed flowersticks (sativa, indica, hybrid, or CBD) to deliver a precise dose with each use. The sleek device created by Young conceals the technology and is available in slate, gold, quartz and jade. ‘Like drinking wine, the Omura Series X allows users to choose the right amount by layering Flowersticks. This lets people perfect their dose and unwind without worry,’ says Co-CEO Michael Simpson. ‘It exemplifies cannabis consumption as nature intended it.’

Yew Yew

In 2017, Jenny Wichman was contemplating her smoke kit: it consisted of a ziplock baggie, bobby pins, and 'a scary-looking pipe from a head shop'. She recalls hiding her stash every time someone would come over which, she notes, 'didn't align with who she was: She was proud to smoke and knew it made her life richer and more vibrant.'

Yew Yew was born from that sentiment, to create smokeware so good, you'd never want to hide it. The brand's offering includes pipes, bongs, ashtrays and more, plus Yum Yum Gummies featuring a blend of 5mg THC and 3mg CBG, 'to spark creativity, focus, and high-vibrational energy — minus the paranoia.'
