From Trees to Tokes — The Rise of Sticks Stoned Pipes

By Seymour Buds, Senior Writer at The Plug’s Pages

In a world where glass breaks, metal burns, and silicone just feels wrong, one man from Portland decided to take things back to nature — literally. Meet William Adams, better known in the cannabis community as “Sticks Stoned.” He’s not just a pipe maker — he’s a wood whisperer with sawdust in his beard and creativity in his blood.

For the past three years, Sticks has been handcrafting one-of-a-kind wooden pipes that look like something straight out of a stoner’s fairytale. He doesn’t start with factory molds or assembly lines — he starts with trees. “I cut down a tree, slice it into pieces, and see what it wants to become,” says Adams. “The wood kinda talks to me — I just flow as I create.”

His favorite medium? Apple wood — sweet, smooth, and durable enough to handle whatever you’re smoking. Each piece takes about 20 to 40 minutes from start to finish, and he does it all by hand. Well — almost all. It’s a family affair: William cuts and shapes, his son sands, and his wife adds the artistic touches. It’s like the Norman Rockwell version of a cannabis company — wholesome, hardworking, and powered by pure passion.

And here’s what sets Sticks Stoned Pipes apart — they don’t break. Ever drop a $60 glass pipe and feel your heart sink into your shoes? Yeah, that doesn’t happen with these. These things are the pickup trucks of the pipe world — tough, reliable, and built to last.

His business name, “Sticks and Stoned,” is as straightforward as it is clever. He literally makes pipes from sticks and decorates them with stones. Genius. And if you think that’s all, he even makes stainless steel pusher rods to keep your pipe clean — because nothing ruins a sesh faster than a clogged bowl.

You can find his handcrafted masterpieces in six marijuana shops, one tobacco shop, one head shop, and five convenience stores around the Portland area. That’s not bad for a guy who almost lost a finger on a table saw but refused to quit. “Got stitched up and went right back to making pipes,” he laughs. That’s blue-collar dedication — and exactly the kind of story we at The Plug’s Pages love to share.

His favorite creation? A sleek piece with a long bamboo stem, the perfect blend of elegance and old-school chill.

Everywhere he goes, people can’t help but smile when they see his work. “Every store I walk into for the first time, people light up,” he says. “They’re excited.”

And so are we.

At The Plug’s Pages, we don’t promote junk, gimmicks, or cookie-cutter gear. We spotlight the real craftsmen — the innovators shaping cannabis culture from the ground up. And trust us: Sticks Stoned Pipes are the real deal. So next time you’re shopping for a new piece, skip the fragile glass and go for something that feels alive — something that was once rooted in the earth and reborn through fire and craftsmanship.

Because when it comes to quality, William Adams doesn’t just make pipes.
He makes legends.
