Crystal-encrusted pot pouch
This tiny handbag, designed by Sylvia Toledano, is encrusted with Swarovski crystals. The description in the Vivre catalog reads: "Green 'leaves' are innocently set against a smoky topaz-hued pavé background." And yes, the word "leaves" is in quotations. Store your stash in here for just $1400. Other variations are also available, including one with a skull emblem. Each bag also comes with a blinged-out pen too.

You can put yer weeeeeeeeed in it!
MDH: aw man, you beat me to it. Although I think it's actually "You put yer weeeeeed in there."
Slightly off topic: Does BoingBoing have a group opinion on cannabis culture, per se? I remember reading that C.D. is not a fan of silly weed, but if that's the case is there a reason why? I happen to see and smell the stuff all the time (in Amsterdam), and I don't see a problem with it. Actually the stats that the Dutch keep seem to clearly indicate that the availability of weed does not increase its use. Oh, and the bag is very handsome. Not Judith Leiber, but still nice.
Did they really have to call it Marie-Jeanne? As if a crystal pot leaf wasn't gaudy enough.
As part of my job I read a lot of magazines for socialites, finance dudes and other rich people. I see an ad for something like this every other week. My favorite is probably the giant excaliber style crystal sword, but the dog tags with diamond pot leaf designs are pretty amazing too. I don't know when or how it happened but at some point old money yachting types decided they all wanted to be rappers.

The day BoingBoing develops group opinions is the day I'll stop visiting the site.
Real potheads will look at that $1400 pricetag and imagine the size of the ziplock bag that amount of stash would fit in.
That thing hardly looks air-tight and I would thus never store my fresh homegrown greenies in there. Plus it's probably all linty inside, and I don't wanna be smoking that - I learned my lesson the last time I quickly threw some weed in a hoodie pocket. Gross.
@Brett
I think you've got that backwards. At some point rappers decided they wanted to be yachting types.

I think MARCEL kind of said this, but $1400 would buy a lot of high quality pot. You must be rich enough to vote Republican if you can afford this.

You should avoid any post that mentions the police, then.

Indeedy lol. Sorry, but I have NO IDEA how to use the quote thingy :)
Marcel, I'm going to somewhat disagree with you. There is a culture here. All the editor/writers at BoingBoing have individual opinions, of course. But there may be a mindset regarding many issues. For instance, I think that Boing Boing has a liberal opinion regarding many things, so I'm just wondering if it/they tends to be in the "de-criminalize it" camp? Just curious. I'm voting for medical use in Michigan. I think it has real medical applications. Real as anything else.
Does anyone seriously still smoke pot? I've been on meth now for years.
Weed is totally mainstream now among the trust fund set. In a Barnes and Noble years ago, I came across a glossy magazine about the pot smoking smowboarder lifestyle. It had at least a dozen photos of people holding paraphenalia while wearing fashionable snowboard outfits. WTF.

@MARCEL #6, Me too. If it happens, it's purely by coincidence.
Funny thing happened to me just now. I googled around trying to figure out where the "put your wee+d in it" line came from (Answer: SNL skit), and happened to find a site with answers to the question "The little side pocket on jeans, what are they for?". I had forgotten about that little pocket because I never normally use it. I reached inside that pocket on the jeans I'm now wearing, and what did I find. You guessed it. I'm ROTFL.
Harmless giggles
azanon, my best friend bought a new house and we were talking over coffee when I noticed a little hidey hole next to a heater. Sure enough, there some was.
@ #6: My first thought: That's more than it would cost me for half a pound of reefer...
I am very fond of Hashish.
Hashish.
mmmmmmmmmmm.
If anyone asks, it's mutant Virginia creeper.
I think it says this in the Bible: the container you keep your ganja in can't be more expensive than the weed itself. It makes the weed feel inadequate.
#15, have you ever heard the phrase, "There are no coincidences?" Do you think people of like mindsets just accidently/coincidently come together? If there is meaning in the Universe, it's to be found in events and how people create their reality out of the seeming chaotic world around us. Our world lines are drawn together by great attractors. I think this place is pro-liberty: you can use weed if you want to and should be able to. Or I could be wrong and there is only a vague concensus reality here, nothing but coincidences.
this is the kind of thing that makes me want to quit toking. isn't it enough to be filthy stinking rich? do you have to come along and rob us of our culture as well as our dollars?
