Tis The Gift Buying Season
Gift Ideas for Cannabis Consumers
Jay ’ s Grow Shop by Jay Richardson , contributing writer
December has arrived , and the seasons have changed , signaling the end of another year . That means only one thing . It ’ s also time to put up the holiday lights and tree and do some shopping . When you give someone a present , they say , “ It ’ s not the gift that matters ; it ’ s the thought that counts .” In case you were too busy this year , I did some of the “ thoughts ” for you . With the help of some friends and family , we came up with some gift ideas for the cannabis consumers in your life .
As always , anytime I mention a product or a business , I am not endorsing it , nor am I compensated in any way . I wish . But anyway , I don ’ t get any free stuff , and I don ’ t claim that any product I use is the best on the market . I just tell you about the places I like to shop and the things I like to buy . I encourage you to make all your purchases based on your own research and price comparisons . With that said , let ’ s go shopping .
The first and obvious choice is buying some marijuana or related products at a reputable dispensary . They are listed throughout this magazine . For ease of finding a dispensary close to you , search our handy directory located near the back of the magazine on pages 50 through 53 .
If you want a present with a personal touch , you can go with something homemade . Edibles are always popular , but this year , my sisters and I went in another direction . Instead of candies or cookies , I made a sublingual tincture from MCT coconut oil . MCT oil has been processed so that it stays liquid at room temperature , as
opposed to raw coconut oil , which is solid . I just put the oil and some decarboxylated hashish in my STX Infuzium Infused Butter-Oil- Tincture Maker Machine and let it do its thing . My sisters decorated holiday-themed dropper bottles ( see below on left ), and we were done . Simply place a few drops under your tongue , and you ’ ll take a trip without ever having to leave the farm .

A related gift idea would be to get your favorite marijuana fans some equipment to make their own homemade edibles . You could get an STX Infuzium infuser machine for about $ 150 ( complete kit shown above ) that would allow them to infuse butter , cooking oil , and grain alcohol , among other things . For a less expensive stocking stuffer , candy molds and cookie cutters shaped like pot leaves are fun and very popular .
I decided that if I were going to write this article properly , I would need the help of some experts . I thought some gifts for the home cultivators out there might be well received , and who better to ask than my friends at AmGrows ( American Grower ’ s Supply ), located at 810 W . Kearney in Springfield , MO . AmGrows has everything a marijuana grower would ever need , including excellent advice for every level of grower .
