As cannabis becomes a more publicly welcome staple of polite society, it can also be a source of newfound anxiety for the uninitiated and the undereducated. Like fashion, sports, and politics, there are complexities to be grappled with, choices to make, and faux pas to avoid. Having the right knowledge will help, but having the right gear will add confidence and, in most cases, greatly improve the smoking experience. So we’ve put together a list of great products that are major upgrades for you and your loved ones, take the guesswork out of smoking, and help us all feel a little more chill.

Infinity Airtight Storage Jars

If your friend is still storing his weed in baggies in a shoebox in the back of his closet, and he’s not still living with his parents in some evangelical dystopia, upgrading his storage system will be a gift he’ll never forget. We like the simple jars, which will keep his strains fresh and secure behind airtight seals, without looking trashy.

Hammertone Serving/Rolling Trays

Rolling trays are about more than a surface to control your chaotic joint-rolling process. If you have a friend who’s always spilling weed or using their lap to maintain some semblance of control, a tray will be life-changing. We love this gorgeous one from Tetra, which will take some abuse and develop a gorgeous patina over the years.

Bloom Farms Highlighter

For your California friends (although the company’s reach is quickly expanding), Bloom Farms makes some of the highest quality cannabis oil we’ve ever tried. The discreet Highlighter is a simple, easy-to-use vapor pen that comes complete with a USB charger and a 500mg cartridge of Sativa, Indica, or Hybrid oil. Their design and packaging is also high-end (a rarity in this world), and the socially conscious company donates a meal to a family in need for every product sold.

The Peak Smart Dab Rig

Dab rigs are among the most intimidating vessels in the culture today. High temperatures, concentrated extracts, and all the same problems as water pipes can make for a lot of uncertainties. One way to make your experience more reliable: invest in a smarter rig. Digitally-managed heat and plenty of censors make sure the right terpenes you’re looking for are vaporized at the right time, which is one less thing to worry about.

G Slim Ground Material Pen

We’ve always been fans of the simplicity of the one-hitter, but as technology has evolved, so have our thoughts. These days we reach for the G Slim Ground Material. It’s essentially an oil pen rig with a heating coil designed to toast flower, making it a fire-free, discrete multi-use one-hitter. A starter pen costs $14 and replacement heads (they can be difficult to clean multiple times) are only $5.

The Original Stash Bag

For the cannabis enthusiast who’s always traveling. Specially designed zippers keep this airtight bag from leaking any of the otherwise delicious scents from freshly acquired bud into the air around you, which makes it ideal for transportation and storage alike. Muted colors make it indiscernible from the other containers in a backpack or suitcase.

RAW Pre-Rolled Cones

Our joint rolling skills vary based on time of day and–okay they’re not that great anyway. We’ve found that these pre-rolled cones solve a lot of the problems. Maybe you’re great a rolling joints, but for the person close to you who’s always asking you to roll one, this is a thoughtful gift.

Balance Pipe

A weed smoking device for the friend who loves architecture and weed alike. The Balance Pipe isn’t crafted so much as it’s engineered: perfect weight distribution, thoughtful design do there’s no tipping or spilling, and an eye toward the best materials so it won’t overheat. It even looks great left out on the coffee table.

Aura Waterpipe

Aura is a simple water pipe that was built, we’re convinced, by the greatest stoner-engineers out there. It’s cleanable, simply designed, minimalist and durable to the max. It’s perfect for the friend with broken pipe pieces laying around, some over-complicated blown-glass nightmare that’s hard to clean, or just your average casual smoker who’s always been intimidate by complicated pipes.

Bubble Bowl Ashtray

For the average weed user, the ashtray is often one of the most neglected elements of the experience. Most people could use a better place to ash their joints and empty their pipes. A good ashtray should be easy to clean, simple to use and stain resistant. Enter these lovely 3D-printed bowls from Tetra. The colors pop, and the bowl is deep enough for collection, but easy to clean.

Tetra Gift Card

Tetra is one of our favorite design-forward weed accessory stores, like a Williams Sonoma-MoMA store combo geared toward stoners. It’s one of the places we go window shopping, and giving your friends the chance to own one of the works of art for themselves is a kind gesture, especially if they promise to let you share in the experience.

Cali Crusher Grinder

Cards are dumb; using a pen and a pill bottle is ridiculous, but the Cali Crusher’s four-piece system uniformly crushes tons of material, locks together perfectly, and is designed so the screws never get clogged with excess material. It’s the greatest grinder we’ve ever used, and the obvious choice for the friend who’s always looking for something to crush up weed.

Green Jay Single Tube

Your buddy who’s always got a joint in his pocket will thank you for this. If it were the holiday season we’d call this a stocking stuffer, but the bargain Green Jay Single Tube is a child-lock style tube meant to protect your perfectly rolled joint from water and other damage, and keep any lingering scents from seeping out. It comes in colors, too, so you can add a bit of style.

Weed: The User’s Guide

Consider this the modern man’s instruction manual for marijuana. It covers everything from the history of marijuana to its legality and is written in a witty tone by author David Schmader, who recently did a TEDx talk about moving beyond the stoner myth. The book instructs on everything from how to make a homemade bong to how THC is metabolized. It’s also a primer on the scientific varieties of marijuana and lends advice for what to do when you’re high and don’t like it.
