f a l l 2 0 1 8 | 8 9 The Pot-Perfect Present: Francis Ford Coppola's "Grower's Series" Give It To: Your dad Why They'll Love It: It's a universal fact that dads who grew up smok- ing weed in the '70s love to reminisce about their youths spent lighting up in high-school parking lots. Far removed from their rule-breaking adolescence, many of these dads and grandpas are looking for a can- nabis experience more in line with their taste for expensive whiskey than a revival of their stoner days of yore. Thankfully, Francis Ford Coppola, the creative genius behind some of Hollywood's most beloved films—and some of Napa's most enjoyable wines—is rolling out a new cannabis line designed to appeal to the Cuban cigar–puffing, Barolo- sipping, high-end consumer. Housed inside wine bottles, these cannabis starter kits come complete with matches, a pipe, rolling papers, and three grams of various cannabis varieties to enjoy. It's the perfect way to introduce your dad to the brave new world of premium cannabis. The Pot-Perfect Present: OLO Cannabis-Infused Sublingual Strips Give It To: Your stressed-out sister with kids Why They'll Love It: Discreet, fast-acting, and perfectly dosed so that even the busiest parents can find time to pop one some- time between dinner, dishes, bathtime, and bedtime, OLO strips dissolve under the tongue and provide cannabinoid blends formulated for a desired effect. Your exhausted sibling might enjoy an OLO Active to help them tackle an ever-growing pile of laundry, or perhaps they'll pop an OLO Social before making small talk with other parents at the park, but we're guessing they'll really love to unwind with OLO Chill at the end of an exhausting day. The Pot-Perfect Present: Bae Vape Pen Give It To: Your new girl- friend meeting the family Why They'll Love It: The holidays are tough, but meeting your significant other's parents for the first time is even tougher. Show your partner you put her Be- fore Anyone Else while let- ting her know you'll respect her need for a little alone time if Uncle Bart starts talking politics after turkey. With a chic, pearlescent-pink battery and blends labeled Cake Batter, Pink Punch, and Macaron, Bae pens are the indulgent, feminine treat your girlfriend didn't know she needed. They're fruity and floral with minimal "cannabis" flavor or aroma, making them the ideal toke for first impressions. The Pot-Perfect Present: Potli Cannabis Infused Raw Honey Give It To:Your boss Why They'll Love It: If you already know your boss is 420-friendly (if not, stick to the Starbucks gift card), here's your chance to show them you've got great taste. Sleek, refined, and delicious, Potli Cannabis Infused Raw Honey is the gourmet cannabis lover's go-to charcuterie accoutre- ment; the wake-and-baker's dream breakfast add-on; and the all-day tok- er's ideal snack. We love the brand's beautiful packaging and design (and think the person who signs your checks will, too). The Pot-Perfect Present: Bong Appétit: Mastering the Art of Cooking with Weed Give It To: The ganja-loving gourmand Why They'll Love It: Think of this cookbook as a Culinary Cannabis 101 class exploring everything from what to look for in cannabis buds to how to decarb and infuse.
