The Best Weed Accessories to Pick Up at the Dispensary

We’ve all been there. You’re at the dispensary counter with your product all ready to go. Your friendly budtender/cannista is smiling, doing their job impeccably as always. You smile back, ready to hand over your money for this tasty, potent cannabis and get on to your smoke sesh. Then you pause, you’ve forgotten something. Some key piece of your smoking operation is missing, and you don’t want to drive to another smoke shop to pick it up. 

Luckily, we understand that you’re not looking to make two trips when it comes to buying cannabis. That’s why our dispensaries stock the necessary accessories for you (and we can even help you save some cash, as Sparks Perks members get 20% off all accessories). If you ever find yourself wondering what you need to complete your cannabis experience, here are our top picks for weed accessories to pick up at the dispensary.

Weed Accessories for Joints

Rolling Papers 

Even if you’re mostly into glassware, rolling papers are one of those things everyone should have on hand, even in a “just in case” situation. After all, there are few who haven’t experienced the tragic loss of gravity snatching a pipe from your hands and smashing it on the ground. 

A pack of rolling papers is a cheap, small, and easy cannabis accessory to toss on the counter for your budtender to ring up. Think of them as your weed bag’s reserve-parachute for your smoking experience.  

Filter Tips/Crutches

If you’re smoking a joint, you want to make sure it’s good till the last puff-puff. While you can make a crutch out of any card stock, who wants to be tearing or cutting when they could be rolling and smoking? Filter tips come pre-sized, help maintain your joint’s structural integrity, and prevent the larger pieces of burnt cannabis and paper from hitting the back of your throat. Toss these into your stash bag next to your rolling papers.  

Lighter

Of course you have a lighter on you, either riding in your pocket or in your weed bag (you’re pretty sure, right?). But when’s the last time you did a fuel check? The only thing worse than flicking that flint wheel and seeing only sparks shoot out is flicking it the next seven to ten times as your hopes of a flame dim. Lighters are cheap and necessary, so if you have any doubts whether yours may be running on empty, buy another one. Better to have two lighters than one unlit joint.  

Lighter Leash

Lighters tend to grow legs and wander off during a smoke sesh. Usually it’s accidental, but that still doesn’t stop you from cursing your thief’s name (or yourself) as you gaze at your unlit joint. A lighter leash is one of the best smoking accessories to make certain your lighter doesn’t take an unplanned vacation on “Someone Else’s Pocket” airlines.

Grinder

If you’re still pulling your bud apart by hand, pick up a grinder the next time you’re in a dispensary. Whether using a two, three, or four piece grinder, it is an essential accessory for cannabis flower. Your bowls and joints will burn more evenly, and you won’t lose any precious resin to the heat of your fingertips. 

Joint Roller

Not everyone can roll up a superior joint by hand, and there’s no shame in that. If you’re in need of a little help, pick up a joint roller at your dispensary. These are cheap and simple to use. 

With a crutch on one end, sprinkle your weed evenly throughout, then snap it shut. Insert a paper (glue side on the top and facing towards you) and pull downwards (towards yourself) to pull the paper into the roller and roll it down into the hammock around the flower, leaving just a little more than the glue strip sticking out. Lick the glue strip, give it a few more turns to roll it up, and a fresh joint pops right out. If you’re planning to roll multiple joints for your day, a joint roller is a clutch way to save time.

Weed Accessories for Pipes

Small things can make a big difference, and screens prove that point. It’s easy to knock a screen out when you’re ashing your pipe, and no one wants to be searching the dirty ground for it. Similarly, if your screen is cemented into your pipe’s bowl by a thick layer of resin, it’s time to replace it so you can get the full flavor of your weed. Like rolling papers and filter tips, screens are small, cheap, won’t take up space in your weed bag, and come in handy more often than you’d think. No one wants to risk pulling too hard and ending up with a throat-full of cherried ash.  

Chillum/Pipe

While no one’s going to marvel at the intricate work of glassblowing on display, it’s always worth having a small pipe or chillum on hand. These are usually less than $15 and come in handy when you’re heading out on a trip, to the park, or anywhere else you don’t want to risk dropping your favorite piece. 

Pipe Cleaners

These accessories might seem better suited to a kindergarten art project, but keeping a couple pipe cleaners in your weed bag means enjoying all those tasty terpenes with a clean, unobstructed smoke. Plus, no unraveling a paper clip when your pipe’s blocked up by caked-on resin. 

Weed Accessories for Concentrates

Vape Pen Battery

A 510 thread vape pen battery is the standard for vape cartridges, and few of these inexpensive accessories are built to last. Unlike with cannabis flower, there’s no backup plan to hitting a vape cartridge with a defunct battery, so best to pick up a backup if you’re out and about. Plus, you can enjoy your vape pen while your other one is charging.  

Dab Torch

A dab torch is a no-brainer to pick up alongside your wax, shatter, budder, bubble hash, or whatever concentrates you prefer. Do you really want to make another stop at a smoke shop or kitchen supply store, or do you want to head home and torch up that shatter? 

Dab Container

A silicone dab container is one of those accessories you may not think you need until you try it out. Because it’s silicone, your sticky dab will come right off of it onto your dab tool without any need to scrape, so it’s good to the last drop.

Enjoy Your Dispensary Visit
