Dab-A-Doo Northeast
-event


Created by Mila Jansen, the Hash Queen, Dab-A-Doo is a contest centered around traditional and modern forms of resin. This is the competition Jansen has spent the last decade of her life hosting all over the world, where some of the most respected people in Cannabis have judged or competed in.

“You almost had lunchroom style groups forming, where people shared equipment with their neighbors who had traveled for the event and bonded over a beautiful shared experience.”

“We cannot celebrate the benefits of legalization if we do not address the consequences of criminalization,” Moore said to WBALTV. “That rollout [of legalization] must go hand in hand with pardoning past conduct, and Maryland is going to lead by example.”

Meet Mia Shea!
She’s a tenured borosilicate glass artist who got her start on the torch at the Zen Studio in St. Petersburg, Florida, back in 2011. Since then, she’s done demos around the world, including Switzerland's Cannatrade and at the Annual Degenerate Flame Off in Portland,
Oregon.

“In the Native American prophecy, White Buffalo Calf Woman came at a time of peril and brought with her the teachings of wisdom and peace so greatly revered in these ancient traditions. As the people circled around, she gifted them the Sacred Pipe so they could pray to all life. In regaining connection with ritual, balance was restored.” -Mia Shea

"Inside this issue of the Leaf you’ll find a curated selection of some of the finest resins, rosins, pens and extracts that represent the many ways the plant can be transformed into unique highs and medicinal products that are all safer than alcohol.

Cannabis is the healthy choice! The many reviews and all the pontificating and puffing make me wonder. If the pen is mightier than the sword, could the dab pen replace both in the future?"

Bio Flux (1st Wash, 90-149u) by
🧝🏽‍♂️💍

Opening a jar of Bio Flux from Third Shift Resin reveals a pearlescent ivory orb of single-origin cold cure hash rosin. Catching the light and shimmering like a Silmaril on every facet, this precious jar will be coveted by connoisseurs who favor funk-forward flavors.

The dedication to honing their craftsmanship has paid off, with Third Shift taking first place in the inaugural United States edition of the Masters of Rosin competition, securing first place for Melt, and third place for Rosin during Mila the Hash Queen’s Dab-A-Doo Northeast in May.

This absolutely stunning, gorgeous, all-eyes-on-me strain is deserving of the spotlight.

I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than smoking really, really, ridiculously good w**d, but I don’t plan on finding out what that is.

Riding the Cannabis Trail
🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🍃

The trail traverses nine northern California counties, stopping at twenty different points of interest to tell the tale of a journey from secret pro-pot enclaves to adult-use Cannabis. Founder Brian Applegarth describes the project as, “a curated trail of Cannabis farms, shops, lounges, and cultural experiences that together are a celebration of today while honoring what it took to get here.” It’s a story of human rights, patient rights, and a counterculture’s difficult and costly battle for legal w**d.

🤬OFFENSIVE OG by Cupcakes Cannabis

For this month’s Adventure Issue, it only makes sense to spotlight a strain that comes with a warning label.

Introducing Offensive OG from Cupcakes Cannabis in Maine: This indica-dominant heavy-hitting strain was bred by in-house cultivator Flowers by Chez. Designed for the seasoned smoker, Offensive OG is a daring, THC-rich cross between Meat Breath and Tahoe OG that is NSFW.

We 4/20'd NYC 😶‍🌫️ with

"Stop and think about how this hash scene has gotten to the stage where The New York Times puts this event on their 4/20 event list. Just about 19 blocks south, Washington Square Park blossomed as the undeniable epicenter of the 4/20 in New York – part tourist attraction, part cultural movement, the area is a smoke-filled bazaar of organic chaos that’s very much on brand for the w**d community. Transformed into a mix of open-air market, smoke session and public display, the almost 10-acre park was packed with rings of various spectators, even spilling into a nearby block dubbed “hash alley.”"

YUNK GLASS 
😵😶😵

Yunk Glass doesn’t just blow glass, he breathes life into it. His work features cartoonish appendages or fully formed, tiny humanoids that look like they could move across the table and hand you a lighter. Like something out of an old TOOL music video, these faceless homunculi seem both ready to spring to life and trapped in a moment of expression – prompting the artist
to refer to them on his website as “Yunktionals.”

Mothership Glass
👽🛸🌐

In the lush expanses of the Pacific Northwest, where Earth's creativity merges with cosmic wonder, Mothership Glass descends – a beacon of celestial artistry in the terrestrial realm of high-end glassmaking. Birthed in the stellar forge of 2013 by the interstellar visionary Scott Deppe, their studio was not merely founded … it landed, propelled by a deep-seated passion for the cosmic dance of aesthetics and functionality.

The mission of Mothership Glass is no less than a galactic decree: to transcend the earthly confines of glasswork, elevating it into realms of extraordinary artistry that resonates with unparalleled quality, innovation and the soul of the cosmos.

Spirit Animal Series | X
🦂🐃🐺🐴
The Spirit Animal Series currently includes four pieces that have been created since late 2019.

It all started with Koyaanisqatsi – a cow skull that referenced the Hopi prophecies of the world falling out of balance when mankind refused to live alongside nature. When we first started making these, we had no idea that four years later we would have four master pieces – and many more planned for the series. Each of them reflects our love for the animals depicted and their mythological influence on the societies around them. These functional works of art are truly show pieces, and their power is not just in the imagery they invoke, but also in the size of their presence.

Be in awe of these pieces and see more photos on our website as well as the full Glass Art Spotlight on Hicdogg & Windstar in this month's Annual GLASS ISSUE! Always available for free! Online & In Print!

Thanks for picking up The Glass Issue of the Leaf!
🔥💨
Our longest consecutive issue here at Leaf Nation, we first started photographing glass in 2010 and released our first 420 Glass Issue in April of 2011.
-----
So much of our relationship with the plant is facilitated by glass and it’s impossible to overlook the importance of a good piece. From function to art, simple and affordable to so expensive it’s scary to dab from, glass is how we experience the plant – and how Cannabis users can express themselves through the art they purchase. The pieces in this issue are a beautiful representation of the plant and the high that it provides us, which is why we’ve celebrated glass for the last 13 years.
