The Polar Blast 

By

The next time somebody tells you to chill, grab a Polar Blast. The innovative smoking device features a dual-wall vacuum-insulated stainless-steel tumbler and specially designed lid to create a one-of-a-kind ice bong. Texas-based inventor Eddie Villarreal designed the lid to not only help keep in the cold, but also to fit a high-glass bowl, stainless steel downstem, and a durable food-grade silicone nozzle. When filled with ice (and a little water), the Polar Blast chills smoke to 29 degrees. 

“Everybody thinks the Polar Blast is a gimmick until they try it,” says Villarreal. “As soon as they take a draw, their eyes get big and they’re like, “Damn, that’s the smoothest hits I’ve ever taken!” 

Since its launch in 2018, the Polar Blast has exceeded 100,000 units in sales. And that’s likely to climb higher with the release of the Incognito, an all-in-one version that includes a compartmentalized lid for storing all the parts and even a lighter. There’s also a built-in grinder and stash container that screws onto the bottom of the tumbler. 

The Polar Blast is available in a variety of solid colors and limited-edition graphics, such as the popular unicorn (created by Villarreal himself), Texas camo, pride rainbow (with embedded glitter), and the US Space Force logo. 

Villarreal says that for smoke shops and dispensaries, having their logo added to the Polar Blast is the ultimate marketing tool. 

“We want the Polar Blast to by YOUR canvas,” he says, adding that custom designs have only a 6-piece minimum order.

Cards Denied: Smoke Shops, Dispensaries, and the Paradox of Modern Banking
It’s almost amazing that the same institutions that brought us the 2008 financial crisis have a problem with selling glass pipes. Almost. The truth is that an industry's past sins are only held against it when the money isn’t right. Big banks were willing to risk cratering the U.S. housing market because the profits were too good to ignore. But the cannabis industry rolls a different kind of paper, so instead of a slap on the wrist, it gets a surcharge.

Print Lives! Why Flyers and Posters Still Work
Smokeshop and counterculture enthusiasts enjoy discovery as part of the experience. Customers enjoy browsing. When they walk into a shop, they don't simply grab a product and leave. They look for something new. This is the main reason flyers and posters still work. Smokeshops and dispensaries are highly visual environments. You want to see bold artwork, psychedelic graphics, and street-style posters that naturally capture attention.

It’s been several months since President Donald Trump signed an executive order to reschedule cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III within the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).

The State of the States
For years, we’ve been told that this industry is the Wild West: a place where the only law amounts to whatever the guy with the gun says. But over the last 12 months, state governments have passed a spate of new regulations that promise to swap the relative lawlessness of poor enforcement of vague rules with real law and order.
