“Celebrate life through ritual.” What the hell? It’s all over our products and our website. You’d think we’d be smoking some serious spliff, which we are, not gonna lie. But ever give much thought to what that shit means? What do we mean when we say “ritual, ceremony?” Or to quote Pulp Fiction’s Jules Winfield: “I just thought it was some coldblooded shit to say to a motherfucker before I popped a cap in his ass.” Well, allow us to oblige.

The world feels like a flaming turd on a tiki torch of racists in white face masks – melting, burning, collapsing. Climate catastrophe, political implosions, pandemics, famine. If the headlines are to be believed, we’re all riding shotgun on the express train to hell. Yes, we’re deep in the muck. No sugarcoating that. But this is not the end of the world. The world is healing, evolving, inching toward better, slowly but surely. It may still look like a dumpster fire through your bedroom window, but underneath the smoke, there’s real progress.

Bear Blend is thrilled to announce our partnership with Pure Beauty, the preeminent herb stash of California. They’ve just launched the Garden Blend, CBD dominant pre-rolls featuring Bear Blend organic herbs. Proceeds from the blend benefit NonHuman Teachers, a nonprofit that takes a new approach to ecological storytelling. What do plants, those herbal nonhuman teachers, want us to learn? We asked, they spoke – have a listen.

Our Original blend explores and celebrates our roots – the beginning of Bear Blend. This is the blend that launched Bear Blend into the stratosphere. Here are the origins of that story – the seeds that made our Original blend – and what you can expect to find brimming in each fresh tin of fluffy herbal goodness.

Smokable herbs are not just extras — they are allies, secret keys that can deepen a psychedelic journey, harmonize your energy, and guide your spirit through the swirling landscapes ahead.

Sit down in a forest, roll up a fat spliff of smokable herbs, light up, and listen. Hear that? The plants are practically yapping around you, communicating about predators, soil conditions, and even the weather. OK, it’s too subtle to hear with the human ear, but plants are talking, communicating through scents, chemicals, gasses, and yes, sounds. It turns out herbs and plants are chatterbugs, and they’ve got a lot on their minds.

So rise, shine, and get your toke of the morning sun. Here are five smokable herbs to elevate your coffee ritual – each one ready to lift your spirit, sharpen your mind, and get your blood flowing like a chocolate river in Roald Dahl’s imagination.

We live in a crazy world where hundreds of plants are outlawed in the U.S. Some are invasive. Others are poisonous.

Let’s explore the plants that are outlawed because of what they do to our brains. How the hell do you outlaw a plant?

How your bare naked self offers a unique pathway to reducing stress and enhancing mindfulness. It might sound whacky, but trust us — the answer to modern-day disconnect can be found in nature, herbs, and nudism.

But fear not – herbs and nature can cure your loneliness and save your goddamned soul.
