Editor’s Note

Thanks for picking up The Glass Issue of the Leaf!

Glass holds a special place within Cannabis culture, as it both defines our movement through artistic expression, and provides the tools necessary to consume our plant. Without glass pipes, bongs and dab rigs, we’d be stuck smoking joints and out of apples in a return to pre-legalization shenanigans.

“PICKING THE RIGHT TOOLS CAN TRANSFORM AN AVERAGE SESH INTO AN EXPRESSION OF ART AND ELATION.”

HIGH ESTABLISHED 2010

Only with Cannabis is the method of smoking equally as important as the flower or dabs themselves. From hitting a Hitoki Laser Bong full of tasty flower to taking timed and temperature controlled rosin dabs from a custom rig with perfect percolation and a terp slurper banger that’ll blast you to the moon and back, picking the right tools can transform an average sesh into an expression of art and elation. As Dale Carnegie poignantly said –“The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure” – and this can be no better applied than to the artists who make glass to get us high.
