To get a sense of the rapidly evolving marijuana consumer product space, it\u2019s important to note that within a matter of years, cannabis concentrate enthusiasts went from\u00a0<a href=\"\/product-review-highly-educated-dualiti-domeless-nail\/\">titanium nails<\/a> to\u00a0<a href=\"\/puffco-peak-brings-dabs-to-the-masses\/\">PuffCo Peaks<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"\/product-review-dipstick-vapes-dipper-starter-pack\/\">Dipsticks<\/a>. For those who really want to make sure they\u2019ve got the most clout when it comes to smoking, dabbing or vaping pot, spend some time in a cannabis consumption lounge.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cannabiscultivatornews.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/moegreenssanfrancisco.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47413\" \/><\/figure>\n<h4>The Scene at Moe Greens<\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s Tuesday afternoon and myself and two of my colleagues, Photo<br \/>\nEditor Gracie Malley and Associate Editor Julia Clark-Riddell, are sitting in<br \/>\nthe deep-backed circular booth in San Francisco\u2019s Moe Greens smoking lounge.<br \/>\nLaid out on the table before we arrive is everything we need to smoke \u2014 a pipe,<br \/>\nashtray, rolling papers, a lighter \u2014 but behind the bar in an adjacent room are<br \/>\nseveral even more enticing offerings.<\/p>\n<p>Although I\u2019ve decided to come to Moe Greens to try out a smoking device that turns out was a limited-time prototype offering, I quickly pivot my interests to what I\u2019m going to call the \u201cSeth Rogan special.\u201d It\u2019s an insane gravity bong called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/stundenglass.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stundenglass<\/a> that hit the scene when a video of Rogan taking a rip off of one went viral in February 2018.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a flashy piece,\u201d Moe Greens Manager Eric Masters says<br \/>\nas he sets it down on the table in front of us. \u201cPeople know it and people want<br \/>\nto be able to use it\u2026 It came with Seth Rogan\u2019s name, so it was pre-built<br \/>\nwith people coming in for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The table-top piece has a pill shape with two chambers, one for water and one for smoke, and uses the force of gravity to pull the smoke through the water and into one\u2019s lungs. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cannabiscultivatornews.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/moegreensstundenglass.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47415\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Masters sets me up with a hit that fills the chamber with a thick hit of cloudy smoke. While I am able to draw it all in, it\u2019s my first real rip of the day and fills my eyes with tears as I exhale the <a href=\"\/san-francisco-growers-look-towards-the-light\/\">Cherry Cheesecake<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goldsealsf.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gold Seal SF<\/a>. But there\u2019s no reason to worry. Masters \u2014 much like a sommelier recommending a bottle of wine \u2014 is still tableside and gets me a glass of water. \u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>High Before You Buy<\/h4>\n<p>Located on a stretch of Market Street not far from the headquarters of tech giants such as Twitter and Uber, <a href=\"https:\/\/moegreens.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Moe Greens<\/a> is one of several city-sanctioned cannabis smoking lounges in San Francisco, California. To gain entry, those 21 and older must first make a purchase (Moe Greens does not allow any outside cannabis to be smoked in the space). Once inside the lounge area, separated from the shop itself via a set of interior windows, patrons are welcome to smoke or dab in the lounge, which generally sets a 30-minute time limit on the stay.<\/p>\n<p>Cannabis has been legal for adult-use in California since November 2016 and<a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/thehashpodcast\/lets-talk-about-legalizing-social-smoking-clubs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> lounges<\/a> like the one at Moe Greens provide invaluable spaces for public consumption. Open to travelers and locals, the lounge at Moe Greens offers not only a safe place to consume marijuana, but also access to all the newest gizmos and gadgets to do so. Masters is in charge of working with companies to bring in new smoking devices and host product demos within the space.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cannabiscultivatornews.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/moegreens.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47409\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a try-before-you-buy model unlike anyone else has<br \/>\ndone,\u201d he says of the program. <\/p>\n<p>The lounge sees a diverse number of people on any given day and assists people who are unfamiliar with the apparatuses for smoking. Also included on every table is a card explaining the signs of over consumption (including dizziness, confusion and an accelerated heart rate), as well as some tips if someone begins to feel uncomfortable with the amount of cannabis they have consumed (water, fresh air). <\/p>\n<p>Alongside differences in our body types, many things can<br \/>\nplay a role in the high one feels when consuming marijuana. Additional<br \/>\ninformation on the cards at Moe Greens is a valuable ask for any cannabis<br \/>\nsmoker to consider when enjoying our favorite flower. \u201cToday have you\u2026 traveled<br \/>\non a plane? Drank water? Eaten food? Consumed alcohol?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When trying out a fancy gravity bongs worth $500, packed with top-shelf bud, it\u2019s pretty much necessary to have such information close by. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cannabiscultivatornews.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/moegreenslounge.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47411\" \/><\/figure>\n<h4>So Many Choices<\/h4>\n<p>Before our afternoon tasting session ends, Masters brings over a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaeglass.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Vitae<\/a> bong with interchangeable glass pieces. The <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaeglass.com\/collections\/featured-sets\/products\/the-tri-portal\" target=\"_blank\">piece<\/a> is stacked with a set of triple honeycomb percolators and, once filled with a sungrown Super Fruit from <a href=\"https:\/\/williesreserve.com\/new-blog\/elysianfields\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elysian Fields<\/a>, delivers a smooth hit. <\/p>\n<p>While myself and my crew of fellow Cannabis Now colleagues enjoyed our time experimenting with the new glass in the lounge, one of the best parts of the experience for me was knowing that anyone can do the same. <\/p>\n<p>Moe Greens will be hosting a demo for the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/theinfinitywaterfall.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jinni<\/a> \u201cinfinity waterfall\u201d pipe on Sunday, Oct. 27.
