We caught up with Samantha to ask about her work.


How did you get involved in cannabis?

My best friend and soul sister came over one day and that was it! I had been taking pain pills for years for arthritis and it was taking a toll on my body. That in turn was what got me started in the industry too! I've always been loud and bright! So when I went in to buy my first bong I saw how they were all so drab and plain. Nothing was original or special. From that point I made it my mission to create something gorgeous and unique, thus Custom Blingggs was started!!!!

What’s your mission?

My mission is to bring something special and beautiful into people's lives! In this day why not stand out & sparkle? Everyone deserves to shine! I want to help shatter the stereotype of mj too!

Where do you see yourself in five years?

In 5 years I'd love for CB to be a known name in the industry, dispensaries & glass shops! A store front would be amazing!

What are some challenges, and some rewards?

The biggest challenge for me in this industry is being taken seriously. when I first started back in 2016 I was looked down on. People had this idea that I was just sitting around smoking weed with a glue gun in my hand ...only part of that was true. I heard a lot of criticism telling me I was a "joke" and "who would ever want something like that?!?" Now in 2019 it's more accepting however we do have people coming to troll us once in awhile but a few of them are now customers!


The biggest reward is my amazing customers I absolutely love being able to talk with someone and bring their concepts and dreams to life! there's nothing more feeling than a happy customer hearing that we made someone happy with one of my products give me such pride in what I do and gives me the drive to keep going!

Any advice for cannapreneurs?

Stay strong and push through it stuff anyone that tells you different is lying make sure you have a strong support around you keep your goals in mind and the best piece of advice I can give is for my late mom. If it's not scary it's not worth doing, just keep breathing and keep going!

Sex on Shrooms: How to Prepare Yourself

If you've tripped on psilocybin (a.k.a., magic mushrooms) before, you're already well aware what an intense experience it can be. And if shrooms can take an average activity like listening to music to an entirely different universe, you can probably imagine what sex on shrooms might feel like.

As intense and amazing as mushroom sex can be, it can also be an incredibly negative experience if you're not careful. Most psychotropic substances are best experienced when you curate the right set and setting, and sex on magic mushrooms is no different.

Indica vs Sativa: The Truth

When you walk into a dispensary, the first question you’re often asked is whether you prefer an “indica” or “sativa” strain. For years, these categories have served as shorthand for cannabis effects: sativas are described as energizing and creative, while indicas are thought to promote relaxation and sleep. But as cannabis science evolves, so does the understanding of what truly influences a cannabis experience—and it turns out that the traditional indica/sativa dichotomy might be more marketing myth than scientific fact.

This article dives into the origins of these terms, the science debunking their validity, and why a new classification system could lead to a better consumer experience.

There are many ways to utilize this part of the plant, but infusing it with coffee is one of the tastiest and most effective methods. If you want to know how to make kief coffee, this one’s for you.

The Truth About Cannabis Candles & How to Make Your Own

There are several different ways to consume cannabis, and some of them don’t even involve actual consumption. Cannabis candles are beginning to take over the candle game, allowing cannabis enthusiasts to enjoy the smell they’re used to having to cover up and hide: the danky goodness of weed.

As cannabis becomes less stigmatized in modern culture, people are beginning to come out and admit to their cannabis use. While smoking weed used to be something people felt they had to keep on the down low, the culture is becoming increasingly mainstream and the scent is now sought after rather than condemned.
