Last week was thanksgiving, I hope everyone had a safe and fun day with family and loved ones. Across the pond they were having a different celebration, the 25th annual High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam. The only category I was really interested in though was best glass, and how could you not with Hitman's entry.



This one of a kind piece is amazing in many ways, first off the MF DOOM mask worked by none other than Banjo and Bluegrass, glass legends who brought you so many torch tube collabs earlier this year including the standing Bubmble Bee and a series of masks. Stick it on top of a hammerhead perc'd bubbler with the mouth piece connected to the mouth of the mask and a glass torch for good measure and you have one hell of an entry and a beautiful piece of functional art worth 5 figures. The coolest part about this is that you have to wear the mask to take a dab! Check out the vid below...


This piece unfortunately came in 3rd in best glass. First place went to an other legend in the glass game whom has roots and a shop in Amsterdam but still need to catch up to the dab game. Second place went to a newbie product that doesn't deserve a mention. If you feel the results were fixed in this one, your not alone, the majority can't believe what hitman lost to. Never the less, this piece of amazing art exists and that's good enough for me.


The last couple day, the Liberty team teased us with a couple InstaGram pics and videos of their upcoming Weeble Wobble direct inject oil rigs. In a glass market so saturated nowadays with lots of imitations and recycled ideas, it's very refreshing to see one of the senior members in the glass community reinvent the shape and functionality and set a trend in glass. After seeing how well they're built, i have a feeling these Weeble Wobbles will be very popular soon, finally taking a shot at fixing the age old problem of knocking over your glass. Add the precision carved like sandblasting from Liberty and you've got a beautiful and functional piece of art unlike you've ever seen before. Can't wait to dab one.

Slyme


Check out the new Slyme rig by Ninja Glass.

Yes it is Election Day in the US and Barrack Obama had been elected for a second term as POTUS, but there were other more important propositions tonight that passed and made history while taking a huge leap for marijuana. Colorado is the first state to legalize marijuana and will have it available to adults without a recommendation. Shorty after Washington legalized marijuana as well making 2 states in the US that have legalized weed. This is a major deal and I'm ecstatic to see this progression, this is the first step to legalizing marijuana throughout the US. It's still going to take time and a lot of work but I'm glad Ill get to see cannabis legalized within my life time. I have a feeling that California and Oregon are close behind in the next few states who legalize and I can't wait.
