108. Why Bong Design Matters for Modern Women: Esther Ramirez from Session Goods
What if your bong could live on your coffee table—without shame or splashback? In this 4/20 Easter special, April Pride sits down with Esther Lenore Ramirez, co-founder and CEO of Session Goods, to explore how minimalist bong design supports women who want elegant, intentional tools for cannabis. From design trade-offs (no percs, no ice pinches) to the bong’s global history, this episode reclaims what it means to be a woman who smokes. Esther shares how clean glassware, thoughtful accessories, and user-friendly dimensions offer a new kind of cannabis ritual—especially for women coming back to the plant after a long hiatus.
🔵 Key Takeaways
-Designing a bong for your lifestyle means no splash guards, no logos—just clean lines and easy cleanup.
-Session Goods took cues from wine decanters and candle bases to create pieces that blend in beautifully.
-Glass fuming, color limitations, and mouthpiece angles all matter—especially when lipstick and group sharing are in play.
-The word “bong” likely comes from Thai, but the evolution of glassblowing gave us the modern version we know today.
-Homegrown cannabis or mushroom gifts add emotional connection and storytelling to the ritual of use.
