i understand that long ago, philip morris had already developed brands should weed become legal. like the little labeled, plastic delivery boxes of yore, kitsch need not enter this hallowed (marketing) space.

where's the christopher reeves shit, the ironsides, the fdr or the stephen hawking?

smoke those brands and you won't be able to move.

when they name it o.g. diego northern lights purple kush sour crystal happiness all i can think of are a bunch of asswipes wearing sweatshirts made out of frendship bracelet material and listening to 311 sing "amber is the color of your energy."

i don't care if they package my ish in a 35 mm film container, but please let some literate smartass name the strains instead of paulie shore.

This issue of Print seems to be all about odd features, like shooting designers in their kitchens with the favorite foods they like to cook.

I had the same reaction to the Heads of State designs, Hamno. And why - if the premise is weed as legal product - would you use glycine bags for packaging? It's like selling whiskey in jelly jars.

California Medicinal Pot always has funny stoner names already written on the bags like "Glu" or "Trainwreck", "Ak-47", etc. I would get a graphic designer to really bring those ideas to life. Maybe get a comic book guy?

I really, really like the idea of buying my joints pre-rolled. Think of all the time I will save! No more stems and seeds!

@downlow: Rolling joints in those cig rollers, with a bit of tobacco is the best. It takes seconds. just make sure you have a grinder so you're not crushing it all up in your fingers and losing half the keif. That's my 2 cents if you don't already do it.

@easternsike: Nice metal grinders seem so unnecessarily expensive until you buy one, and then you wonder how you ever lived without it.

@metoometoo:You can get them on ebay for $20 and also use it as a carrying case. Btw, I read in my parent's local paper (in PA an undecriminalized state) that a 51 yr old man was arrested for possessing "small amounts of marijuana." This saddens me.

I feel like all the weed in NYC is in those clear plastic boxes. Which makes me laugh because back in the day as little girls we we would cover those boxes with paint-pen art and use them to store like erasers and lists of boys we liked. Now, they're for my pot.

The Heads of State packaging looks like something you would see on a Starbucks counter, right next to the Tazo Tea.

"I’ll have a Venti Frappuccino, the Norah Jones CD, and two packs of Vermont Ski Trip joints."

Purple haze is one thing.. "Uptown" moniker is worrying. Can weed be classist? Not to mention.. how can "Schwag" be uptown? isn't that a contradiction?

@monoverb: Even poor pot heads will shell out more for "the good stuff." I find marijuana to be regionally classist. Because people in Cali and Vermont are used to such great bud, they have a higher standard for what they sell. People from Vermont and California can and do scoff at what is sold in New York.

So the beer I drank while sitting in my deck chair watching mockingbirds chase my cat counts toward this $36B. Glad I could help the economy while sitting on my fat ass.

All data presented here are from the wildlife-watching section of the 2006 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation (FHWAR).

Much confusion was resolved when a sharp-eyed proofreader noticed that the category of "birdwatching" included "all types of pornography including hardcore, teen, amateur, anal, girl on girl, girl on guy, 2 girls on guy, orgy...."

I saw half a peregine falcon wing in the gutter at the corner of fifth avenue and 72nd street outside my apartment building on the way to work yesterday. VERY depressing.
