🦥 A few things I found this week — chill and give these a read:
Man, I love seeing high-end craftsmanship in this scene, and Macusi Pipes out of Mexico City is absolutely nailing it right now [See the full article on Cannabis Now](https://cannabisnow.com/mexico-city-based-macusi-pipes-forges-art-function/). They’re hand-forging these incredible pipes that bridge the gap between functional glass and actual, timeless art, taking their name from the Wixárika word for marijuana. As a grower who appreciates the time it takes to cure a perfect bud, seeing people put that same level of patience and soul into the hardware we use just makes the whole experience so much better.
On the complete other end of the spectrum, I got a massive kick out of pro poker player Alex Foxen admitting that even after winning four World Series of Poker bracelets, his absolute favorite trophy on his shelf is still a literal Golden Bong he won from ACR Poker [See the full article on High Times](https://hightimes.com/sponsored/alex-foxen-golden-bong-acr-poker/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=alex-foxen-golden-bong-acr-poker). You have to respect the honesty of a guy who looks at one of the most coveted achievements in card-playing history and goes, "Yeah, but look at this shiny water pipe."
