Eco-Friendly Marijuana Packaging
July 7th, 2009 by Erin
There’s nothing I love more than when two of my favorite things come together, like Base Design shows us with their concept joint packaging design by recycling disposable containers, painting them white, and adding the iconic black pot leaf sticker.
- Altoids containers
- film canisters
- glass cases
- R/X pill containers
Tom Greenwood of Base says:
There’s a whole ritual and tactile experience that goes with smoking, and we didn’t want to detract from that. [...] Nobody owns marijuana, man.
The intent of the design is to send a “green” message while understanding that everyone rolls differently; hence the various shapes and sizes of containers.
NORML-y Crooks
June 30th, 2009 by Alex
There are only so many original names, acronyms and phrases out there in the world. If you read this blog and see the letters ‘NORML’ next to one another, 99 times out of 100 we’re referring to The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
Welcome to the 1 in 100 mention – a shirt collabo between LA-based Crooks & Castles and Canada-based NORML.
The drop takes color palette inspiration from the fixtures of the upper crust fashion world; Gucci and Versace for instance. The use Crooks’ iconic medusa head design and come in 3 different colorways. No word on if they’ll be available online, but there are available in-store at the NORML shop.
Cop ‘em while you can.

Bape Drops ‘Neon Camo Hemp’ Gear
May 29th, 2009 by Alex
Depending on which side of the fashion spectrum you sit, Bape has launched a hemp-based pattern assault on the masses. Dubbed the ‘Neon Camo Hemp Accessories Collection’ (that’s a mouthful), the drop consists of a messenger bag, backpack and two different styles of tote bags.
Each piece sports the classic Bape gorilla-face camo in two-tone brown/beige with black trim. A small, but nice, touch to the messenger bag is a reflective stripe — theoretically to make someone who wears Bape gear easier to spot and tag with your SUV.
No specific release date yet, but keep checking Bape stores and web accounts until they show up.
King Stampede: Summer ‘09 Drop
April 29th, 2009 by Alex
Dude on the left, you’re doing it wrong.Temperatures are rising and plenty of brands are starting to drop their summer looks to retailers across the country. King Stampede — known more for their fitted cap variety & strong pattern design — are coming out with a specifically West Coast flavored summer release.
Based out of Brooklyn, NY, it looks like King Stampede is refining their look with an emphasis on clean branding & strong lines. Cut & sew button-ups, tees and shorts all made it into this drop — so expect them at KS retailers in the coming weeks.
It’s interesting to see an East Coast outfit drop by Santa Monica to take the majority of their lookbook imagery. I wonder if any West Coast labels are going to flip the script and visit coastal New York for their summer flavor. Something tells me no…
You can grab KS gear here or check out the two more images after the jump.

IPath Drops New 2009 Fall Lineup
April 17th, 2009 by Rick
Since ‘99, iPath has been turning the shoe industry green. Maybe with envy, but were talking about how iPath promotes environmental sustainability for the benefit of present and future generations of skateboarders to come.
It has been the goal of this company to offer alternative materials such as hemp, organic cotton and other sustainable materials to their customers. A decade later, the company is still going strong and has released their new Fall 2009 lineup.
The original iPath shoes like the Grasshopper, the Locust and the Cats have been revamped into more of a classic look and feel.
After the jump are some selections from the 2009 Fall lineup.
Next on Grocery List: Living Harvest’s Hemp Milk
February 27th, 2009 by Perry
With a new twist on hemp products, Hemp Milk is here.
Sold at various organic markets and most places you might find a lot of products labelled “all natural,” Living Harvest now produces several different hemp-based food products.
(Living Harvest) now offers an array of hemp products, including hemp milk in five flavors (original, unsweetened original, vanilla, unsweetened vanilla and chocolate).
A 32 oz. carton goes for $4.99 and a 12-Pack (12 x 32 oz. carton) for $54.88 saving you money in bulk. All of their hemp-based products can be purchased online or via phone: 866-972-6879.
The best part: Soon the company will be selling hemp ice cream. Can you think of a better compliment to my fun buds? My answer is no.
