Merchandise

Not everything in a headshop is for smoking. This is the shelf for the things that make a room, a game night or an outfit: black light posters that glow under UV, caps from Lauren Rose, novelty glasses in mushroom and rasta designs, and card and board games for the table.

Black light posters

Our black light posters measure 59.5 x 89 cm and come in designs such as Alice and the mushroom caterpillar. They are printed with fluorescent inks. In daylight they look like a normal colour print. Under a UV lamp the inks absorb light you can't see and give it back as light you can, which is why the colours seem to float off the paper in a dark room.

Two tips for getting the effect: use a proper black light tube or UV LED strip, because a purple party bulb gives off far less UV, and keep other lamps off or low, since any white light washes the glow out. The posters fit a standard 60 x 90 cm frame; if you frame them, choose one without UV-filtering glass or the effect is lost.

Caps

The caps come from Lauren Rose and carry the names of well-known strains: Black Mamba, Gelato and Girl Scout Cookies. The names on the product pages tell you the style. A snapback closes with a row of plastic snaps at the back. A strapback uses an adjustable strap and buckle. A trucker has a mesh back that keeps your head cooler in summer.

Glasses

The novelty glasses come in a mushroom design in black, dark blue, fuchsia, pink and red, and a Canna version in rasta colours. They are for festivals, parties and photos.

Games

Three ways to fill an evening:

• RAW Classic playing cards are a full standard deck in the brown RAW look, so they work for any card game you already know.
• Mad420 is a pocket-size card game made for a group session. It's small enough to carry in a jacket.
• MadGanja is a three-in-one party board game. Players roll the dice and race to the coffee shop, with mini-games and surprises along the way.

Good to know

Most of what's here makes an easy gift for someone who already has the grinder, the papers and the tray. The items are light and flat, so they add almost nothing to the shipping weight of an order you're already placing, and they're a simple way to reach a free-shipping threshold if you're a few euros short.

Sizes and colours vary by item, so check the product page before you order.
