Make Your Room Smell Like You’ve Been Smoking Weed, Even If You Haven’t!
Um, was it Opposite Day or were the geniuses at HEM just a little unclear on the concept when they dreamed up this product?
“Hey boy, smells like you been smokin’ some illegal substances in here!”
“No, I swear, it’s just incense!”
Saw these at the Village Vanguard store in Shimo-kitazawa. If you’d like to be amazed by the weird goods there the next time you’re in Tokyo, a map to all Village Vanguard locations in Tokyo is on my other website, The Tokyo Guide I Wish I’d Had.

Amazing. Maybe it’s not cannabis-SCENTED, but intended for precisely the scenario you describe. If so, another epic product-naming fail.

I bought opium scented incense cones in Akishima from a store called Malaika. They had a bunch of hippie related things of that nature (not to mention really awesome clothing!) Luckily no one was like “I smell opium in here!” （ ゜０゜）Mostly just another incense fragrance.

If I ever see any, I’m going to get it, just to see what it’s like! Maybe on Haight Street, when I’m back in San Francisco for Xmas…
