Whew, this is shaping up to be a hell of a month for weed. Mexico is approaching a final vote to legalize adult use; the state of New Mexico is looking to follow suit; and while yes, everyone’s been talking about New York, did you happen to catch that public consumption is legal, effective immediately?! For real. A legal-weed miracle, and it’s not even 4/20 yet.

Speaking of, I invite you to peruse this playlist I curated for Barbari whenever you feel like setting the holiday mood. The theme is “Nostalgia,” and my assignment was to assemble the soundtrack of my foundational seshes. If you like, read this vibe-y corresponding post for the full time-travelling experience to the woods outside the dorms at UC Santa Cruz in the spring of 2010.

More to come on the power of weed nostalgia and this unique holiday willed into existence next week. This Friday, paid subscribers can look forward to a Q&A with a cult favorite accessory brand. We get real about the challenges of navigating design and logistics when you find yourself mass-manufacturing a piece of art, the delicate dance of weed-related relationships with international suppliers, and more. Lifestyle brands curious about scaling up their house lines won’t want to miss this one.
