We’re always going on about how great weed is. But have you ever wondered how accessories can make or break your session? It’s all about being prepared. Without the right tools, you’re probably not going to have the session you’re after.
Seriously, there’s nothing worse than realizing you’re out of papers when you’re ready to roll a joint. Or what about fighting with a grinder that’s glued shut, or scraping bits of flower together off the coffee table or out of your lap because you skipped the rolling tray.
Trust us: the little things matter.
Whether you’re a casual weekend smoker or someone who treats their session like a ritual, having the right smoking accessories can make everything smoother, cleaner, and way more enjoyable.
So, what should every cannabis enthusiast keep in their stash kit?
Smoking accessories are the equipment you need to play the game. The tools to get the job done. Sure, flower is the star, but if you don’t have the right gear and accessories, you’re not going to get very far.
Good accessories help you:
Once you’ve upgraded from the “random lighter and a crumpled pack of papers” phase, it’s hard to go back.
Alright, so the thing is, while you need smoking accessories, you don’t need a massive collection to get things going. We’re a big fan of a few go a long way.
If you’re still breaking up nuggets with your fingers or cutting them apart with a pair of gummed-up scissors, this is your sign to upgrade.
A cannabis grinder creates a more consistent texture. This helps joints burn evenly and bowls pack better. And what’s cool is that there are a variety of grinder types to choose from. Your simple metal grinder, or multi-chamber grinders that collect kief over time, giving you a little bonus for future sessions.
When you’re looking for grinders, keep an eye out for:
Plastic grinders may be inexpensive, but they tend to wear out faster and don’t perform as well. Plus, you don’t want to be getting bits of plastic in your joints if they are wearing out.
Ok, we hear this one a lot. Let’s talk about cleaning your grinder. Yes, you have to do that!
Over time, sticky resin and tiny pieces of flower can build up inside your grinder, making it harder to twist and less effective.
Here’s how to bring it back to life:
Tap out any loose flower and kief.
A small brush or toothbrush works well for removing leftover debris from the teeth and screens.
Pop your grinder in the freezer for about 20–30 minutes. Yup, cold temperatures help harden sticky residue, making it easier to remove.
Use a small tool to loosen stubborn buildup.
If your grinder material allows it, soak the pieces in isopropyl alcohol, rinse thoroughly, and let everything dry completely before reassembling.
We promise, your grinder and your wrists will thank you!
If you’ve ever rolled directly on your coffee table, you already know the struggle.
A rolling tray isn’t just about looking organized. It’s one of those accessories that seems unnecessary until you actually have one.
Rolling trays help by:
And when you’re using a tray, there’s no more chasing stray buds across the couch cushions.
Whether you prefer a sleek metal tray or one covered in loud graphics, a rolling tray can instantly upgrade your setup.
If there’s one thing we know, it’s that if you smoke weed, you probably have your favourite papers. Hemp? Raw? Zig Zags? You know exactly what we are talking about.
But for real, the “best” papers depend on your preferences. So what’s there to know?
Hemp papers are a favourite. They’re known for:
Rice papers are thin and lightweight. They tend to produce less ash, letting the flower shine.
The downside? They can be a little trickier to roll if you’re new to the process.
Classic papers are easy to work. We recommend then for beginners as they are a lot more forgiving and user friendly. They’re sturdy and widely available.
Love them or hate them, flavoured papers add a little personality to your session.
Just keep in mind that they can alter the taste of your flower.
When it comes to choosing the right rollies, you have to think about what you’re wanting in your experience.
Ask yourself:
The truth is that there’s no clear winner. Everyone has their own preference. And sometimes finding your favourite papers is part of the adventure.
Once you’ve got the basics covered, these tools can make sessions even better.
Sometimes, tops come with your papers; other times, you can get them separately. But tips, also called crutches, improve airflow and provide structure while rolling.
They’re inexpensive and surprisingly useful.
“Can I get a light?” Yeah, you’ve said that before. Lighters are one of those things you can never have too many of.
Whether you collect novelty designs or buy them in bulk because they mysteriously disappear, a reliable lighter is non-negotiable.
When it comes to keeping your cannabis in good shape, you need good storage. Look for airtight, opaque containers to keep your stash away from the light. Add to this that they contain odours.
Bonus: It also keeps your stash organized.
Perfect for smokers on the go, joint tubes protect pre-rolls from getting crushed in your pocket or bag.
A dedicated ashtray beats balancing ash on the edge of a disposable cup any day.
If concentrates are part of your routine, dab tools help you handle sticky extracts without making a mess of your fingers.
Pipe cleaners, cotton swabs, alcohol wipes, and cleaning solutions can help extend the life of your favourite pieces.
A clean setup usually means a better smoking experience.
You don’t have to buy every accessory under the sun.
Start with the essentials:
Then build from there based on how you like to consume cannabis.
The best accessories aren’t necessarily the most expensive ones. They’re the tools you actually reach for every single session.
Now that you’ve got the essentials covered, it’s time to pair it with a little cannabis etiquette and you’ll be ready for almost any smoke circle. Explore our Top 10 Smoke Sesh Guidelines and master the unwritten rules of the sesh.
