Among Make & Mary’s notable products are a duo of rose gold cannabis inhalers—slim, lipstick-shaped capsules meant to be inhaled deeply, aromatherapy style—and a selection of CBD sticks, skin serums, roll-on oils, and a single pillar candle. Initially, Perez Emerson says, she realized she designed the brand for “the yoga mom who shopped at Whole Foods. But I do yoga high,” she says. “So I redesigned the whole thing. When I drew the logo, I wanted it to feel mysterious. ‘Is this a mushroom or is this a vagina?’ I want it to be alluring but also very grounded.”

The vibe at Make & Mary’s cannabis skin care boutique is notably luxurious. Art educator, designer and community organizer Yvonne Perez Emerson started Make & Mary in 2017 as a line of handmade, CBD-infused skin care, beauty and lifestyle products and opened a brick-and-mortar cannabis skin care boutique in August. The store’s centerpieces are a teal velvet couch, a glossy coffee table shaped like the state of Oregon, a bright, phallic-shaped copper still, and a botanical mural that spans the shop’s street-facing accent walls. Each shelf is thoughtfully stocked with Make & Mary’s line, as well as select products from other BIPOC makers.
