Milli Bottom Rigs by Murky Waters Studio 

In the glass world, the choice between art and production isn’t always binary. There’s more nuance than that; degrees of expression and calculation that counterbalance to form not a definable line, but a spectrum.  This is how one must gauge the Milli Bottom Rig series from Murkey Waters studio. The Easton, Maryland-based family business is primarily a custom glass outfit, so by their standards, these rigs are production pieces. But compare these mid-priced functional masterpieces to a laminated factory brand and suddenly, they start feeling a hell of a lot more like a work of art.    

 

Every unit in the series is banger hanger style with multiple marias, made exclusively with Schott glass, and adorned in explosively colorful, house-made millis at the base, which are magnified to the ‘nth degree when water is added.  Each iteration is slightly different, so prices can vary, but they move at an average MSRP of $300 with a solid keystoned margin for the retailer. Available in 10mm and 14mm.

The Trouble with Transdermals
For years, Jennifer Mansour felt them coming. “You can’t stop one,” she said. “As soon as I’d notice that the lights felt a little too bright, I knew I was done for. I’d tell my boss, and then I’d get in the car and pop on my sunglasses because I could feel another one coming on, and I couldn’t do a thing to stop it.”

An old adage tells us not to judge a book by its cover, but A Woman’s Guide to Cannabis: Using Marijuana to Feel Better, Look Better, Sleep Better–and Get High Like a Lady makes a powerful statement about the role of beauty and femininity in the cannabis industry before you even read the first page.

The Glass Ceiling
There are objects Americans buy because they need them, and objects Americans buy because they let them be a certain kind of person. A perfectly functional version exists, usually for a fraction of the price. But the other version comes with a name, a story, and a reason to pay extra.

The Psychedelic Underground: How a New Counterculture Is Rewriting the Rules of Getting High
Walk into any warehouse rave, desert gathering, or rooftop after-hours in 2026, and you’ll feel it: the psychedelic underground is back, louder, weirder, and far more self-aware than its ‘60s predecessor ever imagined.
