Smoking accessory designers have brought us out of the ages of hand-carved apple pipes and two-liter plastic bottle bongs. Today's marijuana vape and smoking technology is often sleek, high-end, and discreetly delivers consistent doses to the consumer. Designers are even considering how paraphernalia can fit in with our personal style or home décor, while also having a minimal impact on the planet.

This episode, host Brit Smith talks to James Choe, CEO of Vessel Brand, a forward-thinking cannabis consumer tech and accessories company in Southern California that creates thoughtfully designed and aesthetically pleasing marijuana consumption products, like high-end one-hitter pipes, vaporizers, and grinders.

Brit and James discuss the importance of considerate design when it comes to cannabis consumption devices, the design process his team went through to create their experience-focused accessory line, and the work they're doing to help battery recycling efforts in New York.
