As the former manager of Marc Emery’s BCMP Bookstore (now Cannabis Culture Headquarters), I was constantly on the lookout for new fashionable clothing made from hemp and other natural, sustainable fibers. Finding stylish hemp clothing has not always been easy but, over the last few years, several progressive companies have stood out from the pack in producing hemp and natural fiber clothing that our customers actually want to wear.

High in Hawaii

I moved to Hawaii in 2003 after two tours in the Peace Corps reforesting degraded landscapes and monitoring coral reefs among island cultures. At the University of Hawaii (UofH), I studied the ability of plants to intercept pollution to keep streams and beaches clean. I dreamed that in the long-term I’d investigate the ecological and public health effects of growing cannabis sativa and other medicinal plants via Surfing Medicine International, a 501(c)(3) non-profit I co-founded.

Inspired by Marc Emery’s courage and his quest for truth and transparency, a group of growers born and raised here in Humboldt County – and all currently growing – decided to pool our knowledge and show off some homegrown pride. We’re tickled that Cannabis Culture magazine is showing the great plants of our Humboldt Grow growers and giving our project a boost!

New Zealand is long famed for its rugged beauty, anti-nuclear stance, and green attitude, but less well known for having the highest cannabis arrest rate in the world. New Zealanders love to drink and smoke and have a good time, so much so that official figures show eighty percent will have tried cannabis by the age of 21.

Tommy Chong's Vancouver

How I came to be a stoner satirist or comedian in Vancouver in the late 60’s was not something I would have predicted. I spent 1941 to 1958 – my life from age 3 to age 20 – in Calgary, Alberta at which point the Mayor of Calgary, Don McKay, kicked me out of the city (more on that later). I was in the army cadets when I was 13 to 16, graduating to the rank of Sergeant. I met fellow cadet, Dick Byrd, and we started doing serious Elvis Presley impressions as Elvis came on the scene in 1955.

Vansterdam Glass

Ten years ago, hemp stores had just discovered glass pipes and bongs. Up to the mid-1990s, everything you smoked from was made with acrylic, metal, wood, or stone. Hand-blown glass by aspiring artisans hadn’t really made the scene yet, then. But today, every community in North America has at least one borosilicate glass artisan working their torches and developing their craft, which means blowers across the continent are producing an extraordinary range of smoking glassware.
