Top Stylish Cannabis Accessories to Add to Your Collection
The legalization of cannabis has seen an exciting transformation in its perception. It has risen out of the counterculture zeitgeist into a burgeoning and inclusive market.
As attitudes shift and cannabis comes out of the shadows, it is gaining a more refined and beautiful, yet functional aesthetic. Slowly, the tacky products available at bright fluorescent-lit corner shops are giving way to well-designed accessories that are stylish, innovative and fit into your home’s design. Here’s a look at some of the coolest and most inventive accessories in the market today.
- Let’s Talk Storage
Whether you’re a smoker, a toker or a consumer of edibles, you know how potent the smell of cannabis is and nobody wants that wafting around the house 24/7. Enter the stash bag or box.

They also come in a variety of colors and finishes ensuring that they will fit into the aesthetic of any home.

Machines will do it all for you from fancy automated grinders to stovetop butter makers to even coffee-machine-esque herb infusers, everything you need is at the touch of a button. However, if you like to get personal with your stash, don’t fret, consumerism still has you covered, themed, aesthetic, one-of-a-kind grinders are all the rage and so are low and slow infusers that will give you the satisfaction of extracting every ounce of jus from your cannabis!

There are two types of smokers in the world — the ones who love to roll, and everybody else. If you belong to the former camp, the world has always been at your fingertips, literally. Today, you get every customization of the humble rolling paper possible — everything from varied colors, to every flavor imaginable, to textures to suit any palette, to types of papers — made from a variety of ingredients like hemp, flax, rice and much more. You can pick the thickness, the prints and so much more.
Now what about people who people who don’t live to roll? Don’t worry, this revolution has you covered as well. Pre-rolled cones, both empty and filled, are available in the same customization as rolling paper. You can even get a box of rolled cannabis joints packaged like a box of cigarettes.
- Bong or Vape?
Both a bong and a vape can be stylish, fashionable and luxurious. The world has evolved significantly from the days of the smelly, water-laden bong that sat in the corner of your frat house. Now it just comes down to preference. Do you prefer the powerful, intense and direct hit that one gets from a bong or the more measured, subtle vapor, with less odor and lower temperature produced by a vape?
Whichever route you prefer, the options are endless. Visiting a good vape shop will give you an idea of the various technologies and mechanisms on which vapes function. A bong on the other hand is quite straightforward in terms of function, but the array of options is quite stupendous.

Once you’ve decided on size, the next order of business is the material composition of your bong. These days, it can be made of anything including glass, ceramic, bamboo, acrylic, plastic, silicon and more. Finally, with the design, anything you can dream of is available in the market, from straightforward conical bongs to absolutely mind-boggling abstract patterns. Your bong can truly be a piece of art in your home.
