Samantha Catt badazzles glass and smoking accessories, and her work is well, pretty amazing. Need a totally inspired piece? You know where to go.


We caught up with Samantha to ask about her work.


How did you get involved in cannabis?

My best friend and soul sister came over one day and that was it! I had been taking pain pills for years for arthritis and it was taking a toll on my body. That in turn was what got me started in the industry too! I've always been loud and bright! So when I went in to buy my first bong I saw how they were all so drab and plain. Nothing was original or special. From that point I made it my mission to create something gorgeous and unique, thus Custom Blingggs was started!!!!

What’s your mission?

My mission is to bring something special and beautiful into people's lives! In this day why not stand out & sparkle? Everyone deserves to shine! I want to help shatter the stereotype of mj too!

Where do you see yourself in five years?

In 5 years I'd love for CB to be a known name in the industry, dispensaries & glass shops! A store front would be amazing!

What are some challenges, and some rewards?

The biggest challenge for me in this industry is being taken seriously. when I first started back in 2016 I was looked down on. People had this idea that I was just sitting around smoking weed with a glue gun in my hand ...only part of that was true. I heard a lot of criticism telling me I was a "joke" and "who would ever want something like that?!?" Now in 2019 it's more accepting however we do have people coming to troll us once in awhile but a few of them are now customers!


The biggest reward is my amazing customers I absolutely love being able to talk with someone and bring their concepts and dreams to life! there's nothing more feeling than a happy customer hearing that we made someone happy with one of my products give me such pride in what I do and gives me the drive to keep going!

Any advice for cannapreneurs?

Stay strong and push through it stuff anyone that tells you different is lying make sure you have a strong support around you keep your goals in mind and the best piece of advice I can give is for my late mom. If it's not scary it's not worth doing, just keep breathing and keep going!

Coffee & Weed: A Modern Spin on the Hippie Speedball

The Evolution Of The Classic Stoner Character in Movies and TV


It’s taken TV and movies featuring stoner characters a long time to catch up with the reality of marijuana culture in the United States. Historically, Hollywood has ignored cannabis all together, then demonized it, misrepresented it, and used it as an easy punchline, before finally giving way to the more nuanced, low-key reality of life in a country where over half its states have legalized the drug for medical or recreational use.

Here, The Bluntness charts the changing depiction of marijuana users in film and TV over the last 85 years or so, and digs in to what these stoner movies might tell us about the changing cultural attitudes around pot in pop culture.

Weed Makes Me Introspective: When Cannabis Causes Us to Reconsider Our Life Choices

Weed Makes Me Introspective: When Cannabis Causes Us to Reconsider Our Life Choices

Pot Prompts Self-Reflection

Being stoned comes with a wealth of side effects – some of which are just part of the fun, while others have been known to get smeared all over a person’s psyche, causing them to gawk out the window every thirty seconds to see if the cops are coming up the stairs.

Perhaps the least discussed byproduct of the bud, however, is its uncanny ability to send the user into a maddening state of introspection. Cannabis can make individuals more attuned to their bodily sensations, emotions, and inner thoughts, which can contribute to this introspective state. Weed can often inspire the high-minded to start questioning their life choices, setting them on a path of self-doubt, self-loathing, and self-destruction.

The Epic Mag Landrace Cannabis from Iran - The Bluntness

Iranian Weed: Epic Mag Strain

The sprawling mountains of Iran bloom with native flora every year: elms and ironwood trees, tulips and daffodils, even something called Dwarf Eelgrass. But scattered throughout the forests and flowerbeds, like in neighboring Afghanistan and Pakistan, another flower has been thriving for thousands of years: cannabis.

Through Iranian genetics sourcing, cannabis in Iran is collected from specific regions, emphasizing the unique and wild plant varieties. Mag Landrace is just one of the Persian nation’s homegrown strains, beloved for its intense indica effects, deep green and purple hues, and abundance of trichomes, resins and oils that make it ideal for smoking and hash-making. It’s finally in the states and available for patients and casual users alike to discover and delight in, and here’s why.

Sex on Shrooms: How to Prepare Yourself

If you've tripped on psilocybin (a.k.a., magic mushrooms) before, you're already well aware what an intense experience it can be. And if shrooms can take an average activity like listening to music to an entirely different universe, you can probably imagine what sex on shrooms might feel like.

As intense and amazing as mushroom sex can be, it can also be an incredibly negative experience if you're not careful. Most psychotropic substances are best experienced when you curate the right set and setting, and sex on magic mushrooms is no different.
