You know that R.E.M. song “Everybody Hurts”? Well, in 2021, Michael Stipe could change the lyrics to “everybody smokes” and he’d have a stoner anthem on his hands because, honestly, it seems like ever since Michigan legalized the recreational sale of marijuana to adults over the age of 21 in 2018, everyone from Mom, Dad, Grandma Francis, doctors, teachers, celebs, and — yes, even Fido and Fluffy — are toking, dosing, and vaping themselves to good vibes territory. Whether you’re new to the weed game or an experienced midnight toker, navigating metro Detroit’s recreational dispensary counters can be a whirlwind of letters, numbers, and packaging. We’ve compiled an interesting list of must-have cannabis-related products, including strains, gummies, dab rigs, and reading material to take you — or someone you know — higher.

For those who realize that marijuana legalization is a privilege

The Last Prisoner Project merch, $25-$40

Legally smoking weed is cool, and medicating with marijuana is great, but it’s also a fucking privilege. Sorry to be a buzzkill, but the system is flawed. More than flawed, it has ruined the lives of more than 40,000 people who are in prison for cannabis-related offenses across the country. Meanwhile, the legal marijuana industry in the U.S. has surpassed $10 billion in sales since 2018. The Last Prisoner Project is a massive nonprofit effort led by cannabis industry leaders, criminal justice and social justice advocates, policy and education experts, and leaders in drug policy reform. The goal? To engage in legislative advocacy and ensure that the costly war on drugs doesn’t take another life and to encourage state legislators to consider Clean Slate bills. You can support the organization by purchasing merch from its web store, which has hoodies, tie-dye T-shirts, and more.
