This holiday season, be sure to remember the cannabis connoisseur (or relative newbie) with legal marijuana or a related product. With legalization, both medical and recreational, the law of the land in many places, there are more opportunities than ever to satisfy your stoner friends and family with great cannabis and various cannabis products.
Marijuana Politics is here to help you out with some shopping tips that will help you find the perfect gift for your cannabis-loving friends and family. We have compiled some unique businesses that can help you find the perfect gift for the cannabis community members on your shopping list. There is a movement to turn the Black Friday shopping “holiday” into Green Friday, so please consider supporting a marijuana entrepreneur this Friday and throughout the holiday season.
Friendly reminder: Oregon dispensaries can provide up to 7 grams of cannabis flower to adults over the age of 21 while an Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP) patient or caregiver card is needed to purchase other marijuana products and items, such as concentrates or cannabis-infused edibles.

Panacea
Panacea has already garnered tremendous press by giving 10% of proceeds to social justice causes. This type of behavior is not only the right thing to do, but has proven to be good marketing for this great dispensary. Supporting great causes has been a foundation of Panacea’s since its inception and the owners have continued to make supporting important social justice issues a part of the business.
The folks who started Panacea are social justice advocates, growers, and medical cannabis enthusiasts. Dispensing cannabis has been a way to bring their passions together. They are truly committed to racial and economic justice and supporting LGBT elders.
But don’t have to support Panacea just because you want to support social justice causes. You can purchase great strains like Strawberry Satori or Silvertip for the supreme quality of the strain. The fact that your hard-earned dollars support a good cause is just a byproduct.

O-puff
This holiday season think beyond the typical pipes, stash boxes and weed-scented gifts. Give the stoner in your life something that’ll not only help enhance their high, but also aids in recouping after a big hit, O-puff.
O-puff is a brand of portable, recreational oxygen, which helps smokers relax and unwind and recover from late nights, altitude + pollution and more.
With its super light-weight packaging, O-puff canisters make great stocking stuffers for smokers. Each canister consists of 95% pure oxygen, which can be inhaled through the nose or mouth. It does NOT contain cannabis or any cannabinoid derivatives, but it is a natural pairing for cannabis consumers. Proponents of oxygen swear that some oxygen will increase energy levels, improve endurance during exercise and ease the discomfort of headaches and hangovers.
Just a few hits of O-puff helps top off energy levels and increase focus and mental clarity, when needed. And whether the cannabis consumer on your list is an everyday smoker or just a casual toker, who doesn’t need a boost in focus and mental clarity every now and again?
Check out O-puff’s website, on Twitter @OpuffO2, on Facebook and on Instagram.
