Are you a smoking aficionado? Ever run out of smoke supplies and get too slumped to leave your couch?
Well then Dollar High Club’s got you covered.
Dollar High Club is a monthly subscription service that discreetly delivers smoking supplies (intended for tobacco…right).
“A lot of people don’t have access to affordable smoking supplies, and we want to change that,” Harrison Baum, the founder and CEO of Dollar High Club told RISE NEWS.
For only a dollar a month you can receive 1.25 size all natural papers, all natural filter tips, 3.3’ organic bee wick and a matchbook.
That’s a good amount of smoking supplies for a dollar.
They also offer the option to subscribe for the Connoisseur package for $12 a month that comes with 7-9 products or the El Primo package for $30 a month that comes with 10-15 products.
Essentially, it is the smoking equivalent of the Dollar Shave Club.
When I first heard about the company, I was eager to learn more and my question to Baum was, how did you come up with this idea?
“It was a idea I came up with while browsing Reddit Trees and Reddit Entrepreneur,” Baum said. “I put the idea on Reddit, it topped r/Trees, and then I quit my day job that week and it changed my life.”
Sometimes the best ideas hit you out of nowhere, and that’s exactly what happened to Baum.
“We want to change the stigma surrounding smoking, by making it accessible to the everyday person worldwide,” Baum said.
The company has its own warehouse and can ship products to anywhere around the country.
They plan to get the word out using more grassroots means via social media including humorous content creation on YouTube and Facebook.
With that being said they just released a new video on Youtube that topped Reddit videos for a short time. It is a parody of the famous Dollar Shave Club commercial.

New York Police Chief Apologizes To James Blake
By Allyn Farach
Retired tennis star James Blake claimed that he was tackled outside of a Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York this week by a plainclothes officer.
Blake told other media outlets that he was acting nonviolently but was met with violence from officers after a sting operation mistakenly took Blake as a suspect.
“You’d think they could say, ‘Hey, we want to talk to you. We are looking into something. I was just standing there. I wasn’t running. It’s not even close (to be okay). It’s blatantly unnecessary. You would think at some point they would get the memo that this isn’t okay, but it seems that there’s no stopping it,” Blake told the New York Daily News.
Blake further claims that he was released when a former officer recognized him and told the police who Blake was.
The situation has been embarrassing to the NYPD and its leadership.
“I spoke to Mr. Blake a short time ago and personally apologized for yesterday’s incident. Mr. Blake indicated he would be willing to meet with the Internal Affairs Bureau as our investigation continues,” NYPD Police Commissioner William J. Bratton said in a press release. “Additionally, he said he would be returning the Mayor’s earlier phone call to speak to him. Mr. Blake said he would like to meet with the Mayor and me at a future date, which we would be agreeable to.”
New York City mayor Bill DeBlasio has signaled his intention to talk to Blake about the matter.
It is unclear what role Blake’s arrest will have in the continued evolution of the Black Lives Matter movement.
