The Power Hitter

Let’s be real; unless you’re a fan of militarized drug enforcement or gender-neutral pop metal, the Reagan Era sucked. But as with everything in life, there are still tiny nuggets of awesome we can glean if we know where to look—and we’re talking about more than albums by U2 that are actually listenable. 
 

We’re talking specifically about that time in 1980-something when Allen Stein went to a Dead show and discovered the Power Hitter, the ingenious device first invented in the 70s that turns any joint into a shotgun blast of sticky–icky straight to the face-hole.  

 

Years later, after misplacing his Power Hitter, he discovered that the model had gone out of production. So, he did what any rational entrepreneur would do; he rebooted the company himself with the blessing of the originator and recreated the long-lost classic with updated materials.  The timing couldn’t have been more perfect. In the post-covid era, the classic smoke circle is on the verge extinction, but with the Power Hitter, you can ‘puff, puff, pass’ to your heart’s content with no mouth-to-j contact. Simply light your pre-roll, place it in the holder, assemble and squeeze. It’s the fastest way to rip a J!

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.

The Quiet Rise of Hemp Agritourism

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.
