While today might be just another Tuesday for some folks, it is for many others a day of celebration as it’s the high holiday — 4/20. If you’re still confused as to what’s so special about this seemingly unremarkable date, we will explain.
The story goes that in 1971 a group of five high school students in San Rafael, California, used the code 4:20 in reference to a plan to search for abandoned cannabis crop based on a “treasure map” from the grower. Eventually the tale was published and popularized by Steven Hager for the cannabis-centric publication High Times, and thus the “holiday” was born, co-opted by potheads and counterculture enthusiasts alike who have continued to help it grow into an increasingly accepted and widely observed day.
If you count yourself among those celebrating today, take a break from those massive bong rips to indulge in some higher-end cannabis accessories, ideal for making future weed consumption (and 4/20s) all the more enjoyable and sophisticated. While we’re not hating on a good ol’ classic joint, there’s no harm in elevating the experience, whether it be with an ashtray inspired by German art or seashell-shaped pipe, especially considering the constant influx of cannabis products as the herb (thankfully) becomes less stigmatized and frequently legalized. So sit back, toke up and get to treating yourself.
Rose Los Angeles x Gossamer CBD Rosin Delights
Forego the brownies this year and go with something a little more sophisticated like these seasonal edibles from weed-adjacent publication Gossamer and leading cannabis brand Rose Los Angeles. Developed by pastry chef Natasha Picowickz, the CBD-infused Turkish Delights feature kiwi, grapefruit and celery and are infused with Royal Key Banana Breath flower resin, for a treat that’s slightly sour, slightly sweet and extremely calming. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that they look pretty.
Vessel Vista Series Vape Pen

Superette Bong Bucket Hat
If the stench of weed clinging to your clothes isn’t enough to let passersby and random strangers you indulge in the green stuff, a bucket hat simply printed with the word “BONG” should do the trick.
Houseplant Oil Lamp
If you consider yourself a serious smoker, make your setup a little more permanent with this Oil Lamp from Seth Rogen’s newly launched cannabis company.Your smoking experience is greatly influenced by your environment, and this Oil Lamp works to help set the mood by allowing you to choose between a paraffin oil-and-wick setup or a simple tea candle, while also allowing you to keep everything you need within arm’s reach, including an ashtray and matches.
Serra the Pillar Grinder
Not only is this statuesque grinder from Serra handsome, it’s also highly functional, featuring a magnetic closure, angular anodized aluminum teeth to prevent compression of the flower and a deep storage basin. When it’s not in use, proudly display the solid beachwood structure as a subtle but effective piece of decor.
The Pursuits of Happiness Del Mar Pipe
If you want to be a little more discreet about your smoking habits, pick up this seashell-shaped pipe by The Pursuits of Happiness, which will fit in nicely among the rest of your seashell collection (assuming you have one — if not, it’s time to hit the beach) and no one will be any the wiser.
Heir Waterpipe
If you’ve never quite been able to get the hang of an old-fashioned bong or you feel that the draw has always been too rough for you, Heir’s Waterpipe does all the work for you, with an all-around smoother smoking session thanks to the long travel path, ergonomic mouthpiece and ice-friendly glass.

Dad Grass Baja Beach Hoodie
Don’t call this a drug rug — this Baja hoodie inspired by those donned by potheads of the ’90s and 2000s was sourced straight from Mexico itself, then shipped back and screen-printed with the increasingly iconic Dad Grass logo. Be sure to pick up this hacky sack to really drive home the lazy stoner vibes.
Murano Tips
Handmade in Murano, Italy, these colorful glass tips arrive with a flat tip for a lighter dose and a round tip for one that’s higher.
