Many thanks to 420 Vancouver for organizing such an amazing event for the 25th straight year! If you were one of the over 100,000 people to come to 420 Vancouver on Sunset Beach, thank you for partying with us! If you were not, we hope to see you next year. Yesterday, we got to hang out on the beach, enjoy perfect weather and rock out with Cypress Hill. It was an epic day. Los Hierberos was in a waterfront booth from dawn to dusk and loved every moment of meeting with you, chatting with you and showing you our gorgeous selection of glass, papers and accessories. It was truly a fantastic event and we will see you all there next year! Because we love weed, do you?

This year Easter and 420 fall on the same weekend, so why not celebrate them together?... here are 4 ideas to make it the "highest" holiday possible. 1. Smoke some Easter themed Strains: Pick some chocolate or candy strains like Ice Cream, Coco Haze, Mint Chocolate OG or Candy Kush for the occasion. 2. Make an Easter Bunny Pipe: Punch a hole in the head for your bowl, and a hole by the tail for your mouthpiece... and blaze. Afterwards you have the perfect chocolate treat for your munchies. 3. Bake some cannabis infused goodies: Use Cannabutter in your favorite brownie, cookie, or rice crispie square recipe. Make some Cannabutter by following steps: -Use 2 ounces of cannabis (ground) for every stick of butter -Bring butter to boil on medium heat, then reduce heat to low. -Add Cannabis and allow to simmer for 2.5 hours on low heat -Remove from heat, and pour over cheesecloth into a container to remove solid herb. Put container in refrigerator to harden. 4....

Spring is on our doorsteps, which means most of us, especially in beautiful B.C., are dusting off our hiking boots, packing our knapsacks and setting off for adventures in nature. Cannabis makes a natural companion for explorers – the cathartic experience of smoking in fresh air that makes us feel more connected to the great outdoors. Before heading off on your next hike, make sure you’re equipped with the knowledge you need to be both safe and considerate with your cannabis use. What you will need to pack: 1. Water: And lots of it. Nothing worse than dry mouth with no relief. Plus smoking cannabis requires an increase of fluids to stay hydrated. 2. A lighter : Its rough to have your piece or joint ready and realize... you have nothing to light it 3. A portable piece or joint : Most hikers prefer a small pipe, bubbler, or joint for portability and to avoid breaking their favorite piece or lugging around one far too large. 4. Herb: Some strains are actually named afte...

D id you know there are certain foods you can eat that can actually enhance your high? Well there are... and here are 4 that will take your next sesh next level: 1. Chocolate: Chocolate is well known to produce bliss. That is because chocolate contains anandamide, the same chemical compound found in cannabis that is known to produce feelings of euphoria. Therefore, consuming chocolate and cannabis together will activate more receptors in the brain that make you feel even more euphoric. 2. Mangoes: Mangoes naturally have a high content of a compound called myrcene . Myrcene is particularly fond of THC, and binds to THC receptors in the brain. Therefore, eating a mango about 30 minutes to an hour before you smoke that blunt, bowl, joint, or dab can not only increase your high, but make it come on faster and last longer. 3. Green or Black Tea: Black or Green tea are both high in catechin, an antioxidant that has a particular affinity with CB1 receptors in the brain. Whe...

Glass is without a doubt the best material to smoke from. However, glass can break and no matter how expensive or thick a piece is... there is always a chance of it breaking. All smokers know the agonizing heartbreak of watching your beloved bong fall and shatter. Silicon in recent years has been hitting the market to try and combat the broken glass problem. For a lot of people silicone pipes or pieces have become a lifesaver, and for some, not worth it and dedicated solely to glass. Silicone definitely has its pros and cons. Here we lay out the pluses and minuses or silicone. The biggest pro: Silicone pieces are unbreakable and therefore great for smoking on the go or traveling because they can be folded and stored away without risk of breaking! They are also dishwasher safe and can be very easy to clean. Some designs are very cute and not possible in glass. The price point is generally lower than glass as well, a key pro to silicone. The cons: Silicone is not beau...

If you are familiar with glass, whether it be a rig, ash catchers or bongs , you have definitely heard the term “percolator” or “perc” before.  In this post, the purpose and function of percolators will be covered as well as, and main types that can be included with water pipes or ashcatchers. Water pipes or bongs use water and a glass chamber to cool and filter the smoke from burning dry herb. An ash catcher is used to save a water pipe from ash and particulates by adding another chamber to the bong. A percolator aims to further that effect by adding another layer of filtration and cooling to the  smoke. There are several different types of percolators, and each has a slightly different effect. 1. DownStrems Downstems are far more basic than percolators, in both appearance and function. A downstem is a simple  tube that sits in the main water chamber, allowing air to enter the chamber. This creates an improved airflow. Downstems are a very common feature fo...
