The nickname “The Evergreen State” just took on a whole new meaning, am I wrong? With the legalization of marijuana getting the thumbs up from Washington voters recently, living in our rainy, snowy, out-of-the-way state just got so much cooler. And though some think it’s a sign that our state is going to pot (cough, sorry), we think the biggest problems the state will face are widespread candy shortages and a serious case of dry mouth. Be sure to consider the weed-curious folks on your list this year, and stock up on these fantastic pot accoutrements.
VAPE-OR-SMOKE PORTABLE VAPORIZER
You want to puff down, but you want to be subtle about it. This portable vaporizer is for you. It looks like a black cell phone and toasts the active ingredients in your “product” — meaning you’ll inhale a cleaner vapor instead of smoke. Plus it’s the kind of thing you can fit in your back pocket or your purse. For a vaporizer, this seems like the best choice, provided most other vapes require you to have weed-oil or something we don’t know how to get. You can stick a bud in this handy device, click up the mouthpiece and you’re good to go.
