Holiday gifts for flower fanatics, concentrate connoisseurs and everyone in between

Whether you’re looking for a stocking stuffer or to curate a full gift package, Michigan’s topsy-turvy cannabis market ensures holiday shoppers will find a range of options and prices for whatever they want, wherever they go. That being said, I’ve helped sort through all the options to highlight a few products every stoner would love to find under the tree this year.

Live hash rosin — Pleasantrees

$40/1g

1950 Merritt Road, East Lansing

enjoypleasantrees.com

The concentrate enthusiast in your life will adore any strain of in-house live hash rosin you choose from Pleasantrees’ East Lansing location. The business places a strong focus on quality, both in its own products and other brands it carries, and it’s leading the way in consumer transparency. Its hash is made from flower grown at its own cultivation facility, using genetics tailored exclusively for solventless terpene extraction. Like everything else in Michigan’s cannabis market, the prices of solventless concentrates have plummeted, so this is a good time to enjoy top-shelf quality at an affordable price.

Punch Cake flower — Willie’s Reserve

$112/1 oz

Local Roots Cannabis

120 W. Grand River Road, Laingsburg

localrootscannabis.com

Willie’s Reserve is backed by country superstar Willie Nelson, and the balladeer’s reputation for smoking dope really shines in his Michigan offerings. His brand is run by savvy, experienced Michigan operators who have created a celebrity label that actually delivers on quality and consistency. No step in the process is an afterthought — these products are grown and distributed by true cannabis enthusiasts and OGs. Pick up some flower at Local Roots on small business Saturday (Nov. 30) and help support a fixture of the Laingsburg community.

TH3 disposable vape — Trap House Co.

$35/3g

Arcanna

29 Beardsley Road, Ionia

arcannausa.com

I wanted to spotlight a top-shelf, affordable and, more importantly, safe option for a multi-gram distillate vape. Nothing says “I love you” more than ensuring your loved ones are vaping clean, conversion-oil-free distillate. Trap House Co.’s parent company has been a vocal proponent of cleaning up the industry and cracking down on conversion oil. With a solid reputation for making some of the most accessible fire in the state, Trap House’s 3-gram disposables are a slam dunk on value. The taste and quality really can’t be beaten, and the company has paid a lot of attention to the hardware to ensure the last hit is just as flavorful and effective as the first. While at Arcanna, be sure to check out the entire Trap House line.

BlasterNaut gummy — Monster Xtracts

$3/200 mg

Bazonzoes

2101 W. Willow St., Lansing

920 American Road, Lansing

bazonzoesmi.com

We all know people who claim edibles don’t work for them, but this one will. Choose this gummy for the most seasoned edible user in your life. Jackson-based Monster Xtracts has been in the legal game since the beginning and advocates for safe and conversion-oil-free products. Selling the gummy in one huge piece allows the cost to be cut down as well, which is saying something in today’s market. This is a novel and cheap option for folks who are more or less consuming a whole bag of cannabis gummies in one sitting anyway. Stop in at one of Bazonzoes’ two Lansing locations to check out the flavor lineup, which includes Amped Green Apple, Blue Razz Bang, Tropical Thunder and other fruity flavors. Don’t worry, the shops carry edibles for people with normal tolerance levels, too.

Lunar wax pen — Dip Devices

$39.99

dipdevices.com

Dip Devices is well-versed in the vape battery game. Its products are high quality and have always lasted me years. The new Lunar wax pen has some improved functionality, including a display screen that allows the user to have more control over temperature. It’s not going to hit like a traditional dab rig or a Puffco Peak, but it’s the size of a pre-roll, allowing for easy on-the-go use, and it’s 40 bucks.

Glass joint tips - RAW

Price varies

Local head shops and dispensaries

I recently saw an interview with hip-hop artist B-Real from Cypress Hill. He was discussing smoking etiquette in group settings. The cannabis enthusiast divulged that he only smokes joints with glass tips, even forgoing getting high if paper-tipped joints are the only option. That got me thinking — I’ve been using glass tips more and more, and I’m really starting to notice a difference. I like the RAW-brand ones, but pesky laws don’t allow RAW to sell directly to consumers, so you’ll need to look for them at head shops, dispensaries or third-party websites, as I often do. Pick up a 50- or 75-pack and distribute them among your headiest friends and family members.
