In the hippie era of the 60s and 70s, 'Puffing the Magic Dragon' was a common slang term for smoking marijuana. Cannabis was very popular during this time, as it was considered to be pleasureful and benign, and had self-exploration and spiritual uses.

As a tribute to this amazing time, Vansterdam Clothing presents Puff, the magical stoned dragon!

O'Cannabis Anthem

"O'Cannabis,
The sacred plant of peace!
With healing flowers, it helps our eyes to see.
With a glowing joint,
We make the point,
The true north should be free
With wise red eyes we criticize,
This war against humanity.
O'Cannabis, the drug wars a bust!
O'Cannabis we stand here high for thee.
O'Cannabis the sacred plant of peace."
--Neil Magnuson (Marijuana Activist)

She's the other woman in your life.

With her buds so sweet and potent, her leaves fresh and supple, putting your lips on Mary Jane will bring you to new highs. So take her in, and hold her as long as you can. When she goes, do not worry, she'll come around, we promise.

Marijuana has been used in the mystic rituals of Buddhism since the 5th century BC. Some Tibetan priests believe it to be the most sacred of all plants. There are even written records that the founder of Buddhism, Gautama Siddhartha, lived primarily on hemp seeds and leaves years before his enlightenment.

Smoke Buddha.
Wear Buddha.
Be Buddha.

You can blaze it, you can hoot it, you can puff it, you can toke it. Whatever you do...

Just Smoke It.

Man in crowd: "Did you inhale?"

Obama: "Look, when I was a kid, I inhaled... frequently. That was the point."
