12 Best Cannabis Products and Accessories for 2023
This year will see 3 states joining the legal recreational cannabis use roster. As more states embrace this multi-billion dollar industry, the stigma of lazy stoner culture is being turned on its head. In fact, many people regularly include a little pot in their active lifestyle. “Stoners” are busy CEOs and business owners. Open cannabis users are now found in all walks of life and social strata. Weed is quickly becoming the new cocktail or glass of wine; something to be enjoyed with friends or to relax with after a long day at work. No longer confined to a sketchy deal in a deserted parking lot or wondering if their plug got too high to deliver, today’s cannabis consumer has a plethora of options. We weeded through the best ones to find the top 10 products and accessories for both the canna-curious and the modern “stoner.”
