Ah, weed. Our beloved friend. How we love thee. Let us toke the ways.

First, the humble joint: an art form in and of itself but overall an ephemeral experience. Vaping is cool we guess, but vaping devices are rarely a sight to behold. There are so many ways to enjoy herb but one reigns supreme, thanks to these incredible Michigan-based glassmakers who craft incredible, museum-quality pipes and rigs that make us feel high just by looking at them. From monsters and unicorns, intergalactic swirls, and intricate mandalas, natural elements and colorful bursts of pop culture, these Michigan glass artists are making getting high an art form.
