Cannabis has been moving through that underground-to-icon pipeline for decades. So when Patricia Field’s universe collides with a hemp-derived THC beverage on the eve of New York Fashion Week, it doesn’t feel provocative. It feels right on time.

This is, after all, the same creative force behind Sex and the City and The Devil Wears Prada. A stylist who turned fashion into narrative, rebellion into glamour, and excess into language long before any of it was considered respectable.

Highly Anticipated, the limited-edition capsule created with Black Market and four designers from Patricia Field’s orbit, doesn’t treat weed as a novelty or a trend. It treats it as part of the creative bloodstream that has always run through art, nightlife, and fashion. The difference now is visibility.

At the center of the project is a federally legal, hemp-derived Delta-9 THC beverage brand that rejects the idea of cannabis as either vice or gimmick. Built by a team with deep roots in cannabis culture, the brand blends bold design with carefully selected wellness-forward ingredients, positioning itself as a deliberate alternative to alcohol rather than a replacement for it.

Instead of claiming the spotlight, Black Market and the Patricia Field ARTFashion Gallery operate as facilitators, using the product not as a branding exercise, but as a canvas. Each designer was given space, resources, and autonomy to reinterpret the bottle through their own language, materials, and creative processes.

In an industry where collaborations often extract value from creatives without truly supporting them, Highly Anticipated flips the script. It’s not about borrowing edge or aesthetics, but about amplifying independent voices that already exist at the intersection of fashion, culture, and subversion, and letting them be seen on their own terms.

High (on) Fashion

Let’s get one thing straight: this isn’t weed merch.

There are no lazy motifs or wink-wink pot jokes stitched into a hoodie. Instead, each designer was invited to do exactly what they already do best, interpreted through the lens of Black Market—and the experience of being under the influence.

“Each of these artists already came to the table with their own unique process and aesthetic. For example, Free Maison’s predominant materiality is metal, while Wonderpuss Octopus has a signature three-dimensional painting technique that emulates organic lifeforms. Chelle Bee is all sparkle with hand-applied rhinestones, and SSIK is known for her unique use of silicone,” Field explains.

Rather than imposing a look, the brief aimed to be experiential. The artists were encouraged to sample the product and let that guide their process. What emerged reflects both the cannabis experience and each designer’s individual identity.

Here, weed appears as a symbol embedded into material language, not a joke or a shortcut.

Who’s Participating

Free Maison, founded by Jesse Aviv and Tay Dun, reworks ancient chainmail techniques through contemporary ciphering, using anodized aluminum to create lightweight, sculptural garments meant to be worn and collected.

Wonderpuss Octopus, the practice of artist PJ Linden, transforms found objects into meticulously painted, three-dimensional works that blur sculpture, fashion, and organic form—an approach long championed by Patricia Field.

Brooklyn-based Chelle Bee infuses maximalist glamour into the capsule, transforming everyday garments through dense crystal embellishment that treats excess as structure rather than ornament.

SSIK Designs, led by FIT-trained designer Kristina Kiss, channels downtown New York nightlife into experimental silhouettes defined by silicone treatments, garment manipulation, and a DIY ethos born from wearing what didn’t yet exist.

Together, the designers form a capsule that reads less like a collection and more like a shared frequency.

This Isn’t Resistance. It’s Creative Freedom.

Despite arriving amid renewed legislative pressure on hemp-derived THC, Michael Robinson, manager of Patricia Field’s boutique and creative operations, is careful not to frame Highly Anticipated as protest fashion. Creatives, after all, are not strangers to using altered states as gateways to inspiration, and cannabis has quietly occupied that space for centuries.

“Now that cannabis use is legal and destigmatized, they can really let loose and enjoy themselves on whatever that journey looks like for them.”

There’s something quietly radical about that. Not rebellion for rebellion’s sake, but the freedom to create without shame.

Heidi Minx, Chief Marketing Officer of Black Market, acknowledged the broader cultural and regulatory tensions surrounding the project. “The Draconian legislative actions at the end of last year definitely caused a lot of tension, headaches and sleepless nights. But I will allude to the adage that silence is akin to complicity.  Artists have visually expressed dissent against over-control for time-eternal.”

So, if weed suddenly feels fashionable, Robinson argues that it’s not because it became trendy. It’s because the barriers finally cracked.

“Cannabis has been ‘in’ for a long time—but now, finally, people have easy access to it and the freedom to enjoy it because the legal roadblocks have been eased.”

Support for cannabis, he notes, isn’t driven purely by its former taboo status, but by a sense that its prohibition was unfair. After all, in The Land Of The Free, people don’t like unnecessary bans on relatively innocuous things, or restrictions that feel pointlessly punitive.

Before You Buy, Check the Supply

At the same time, there’s a wellness, eco-friendly component at play. Younger generations are increasingly turning away from alcohol and embracing cannabis as a more natural alternative. Those same values—care, sustainability, and accountability—are increasingly shaping fashion itself.

“We work with up-and-coming artists and designers who handmake one-of-a-kind creations using upcycled garments and materials. We also have an extensive vintage department. This shop is a really guilt-free way to enjoy fabulous fashion,” Field says.

Robinson frames it through a familiar fashion reference: “I think Miranda Priestly’s The Devil Wears Prada character summed it up perfectly when she chided Emily for her dismissal of cerulean blue.”

In fashion, nothing exists in a vacuum. The cerulean sweater was never just blue, and hemp is never just a trend. Everything we wear is connected to an invisible supply chain that begins long before the storefront. Farmers need stability. Stores need consistent rules. People need to know their jobs are secure.

Elevating Designers, Without Extraction

One of the most subversive details of Highly Anticipated has nothing to do with THC.

“The Patricia Field boutique is a female-owned, small business that supports emerging creative talent, so that’s where the proceeds will go. You won’t find any executives or shareholders lining their pockets off our partnerships. Our main goal is to highlight these talented individuals and bring awareness to their work,” Robinson states.

In an industry where collaborations often prioritize corporate profitability while creatives receive little recognition, this model stands apart. It’s patronage, not performance.

Asked what Highly Anticipated looks like in practice during Fashion Week, Robinson frames it as a natural extension of Field’s long-standing relationship with artists and subculture: “We’re two separate brands from two separate industries, but like-minded in so many ways that partnering just felt natural and effortless.”

The launch is not conceived as a traditional event. Visitors will be able to meet the artists, acquire their work, and view the customized Black Market bottles as standalone art objects. Participation, not spectacle, is the point.

The collaboration extends beyond garments and into the glass. Black Market will be serving a curated menu of “Hightails”, THC-infused cocktails inspired by each of the designers in the capsule. Each recipe translates materiality, texture, and aesthetic obsession into liquid form: layers, shine, metal, drip, and volume reimagined through color, flavor, and structure. A fully immersive sensory experience.

“We’ve partnered with Black Market on our last two in-store events (Fashion Week & our anniversary) and our clientele really enjoyed it. Fashion people love a party, they love to get high, and they love beautifully designed things. What’s there to hesitate about?”, Robinson states.

‘More Power to You’

For Patricia Field herself, cannabis was never a statement.

“I’d enjoy a joint from time to time, but it was more for relaxation and social enjoyment with friends. I’ve always been a champion of self-expression, experimentation, and creativity, first and foremost —so if you use cannabis in your pursuit of these ideals, more power to you!”

Which, honestly, might be the most Patricia Field answer of all.

In recent years, psychedelics have shifted from being symbols of hippie counterculture to becoming tools embraced by scientists, therapists, and even lawmakers. The United States was an epicenter of this shift: Oregon regulated psilocybin therapy through Measure 109 in 2020, and other states have considered following suit.

However, the market’s expansion has also brought new risks, like products sold as “magic mushrooms” that do not actually contain psilocybin, the compound that produces psychedelic effects. So, what’s going on?

The study that raised alarms

Researchers at Oregon State University (OSU) analyzed 12 edibles (11 gummies and a chocolate bar) sold in Portland stores under the label “magic mushroom edibles.” They were purchased and tested at Rose City Labs, in collaboration with OSU and Shimadzu, the company that supplied the analytical equipment. The results were disturbing: none of the products contained psilocybin, the classic active compound in shrooms. Though the sample size was small, the extent of mislabeling made the findings significant.

Instead, the testing revealed other substances: kava, caffeine, THC, hemp extracts, and even synthetic compounds such as 4-AcO-MiPT and 4-HO-DET, psychedelics from the tryptamine family. Other samples contained muscimol, the active active compound of the Amanita muscaria mushroom, a different species from Psilocybe, with very different pharmacology.

Furthermore, some samples did not contain natural psilocybin, but rather small amounts of psilocin, the active molecule into which psilocybin is normally converted within the body. In this case, the researchers noted that the psilocin did not come from actual mushrooms, but had likely been synthesized in a laboratory.

“We don’t know what harm they might cause,” cautioned Richard van Breemen, co-author of the study and professor at OSU.

Syndelics: The Rise of Lab-made Psychedelics

The research brought so-called syndelics, short for synthetic psychedelics, into the spotlight. The term syndelics was coined by a collaboration between OSU, Rose City Laboratories, and Shimadzu. These compounds are created by chemists to mimic psilocybin or LSD. The problem? Their long-term effects are virtually unknown.

As stated by the researchers: “Many unregulated retail magic mushroom edibles lack psilocybin and are adulterated with synthetic tryptamines, botanicals, or other undeclared compounds… Mislabeling and ingredient substitution endanger consumers and erode public trust in emerging psychedelic therapies.”

Van Breemen elaborated further: “Syndelics represent a rapidly growing area of ​​drug design… Although this approach offers therapeutic potential…premature exposure to these compounds poses significant public health risks due to unknown pharmacology and toxicity.”

The study concludes with a call for improved testing standards, stricter regulations, and enforcement at both the state and federal levels.

Shrooms in Oregon: Between Legality and the Illicit Market

Oregon was a pioneer in approving psilocybin for regulated therapies in 2020. However, this access is limited to guided, expensive treatments under strict conditions. At the federal level, psilocybin remains a Schedule I substance, meaning it’s illegal and difficult to obtain.

Given this context, it’s not surprising that many users seek more accessible, cheaper alternatives at local stores or online. The risk, of course, is that what they buy isn’t what the label promises.

As Mason Marks, a law professor at Florida State University, explained: “A lot of people are very curious about these substances. And if you’re in a state, like Oregon, where recreational sales remain illegal, people might, people might go to these shops and buy these products that are either blatantly illegal or kind of in this gray area.”

In other words, therapeutic use within licensed programs is permitted, but retail sales remain illegal. This has created a gray market that, experts warn, exploits demand.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had previously warned about the danger of unregulated products containing Amanita muscaria, another mushroom with strong psychoactive effects. In 2024, the organization issued a statement following a mass recall of these products due to suspected poisonings and at least some reported deaths.

New evidence reinforces that warning: products sold in Oregon as “magic mushroom edibles” are not only mislabeled, but also include little-studied and potentially dangerous substances.

The finding is worrying, as it comes at a time when society is debating the place of psychedelics in mental health, with studies showing that psilocybin can help with drug-resistant depression and promote neuroplasticity. But the existence of a parallel market, rife with misleading products and substitutes, undermines trust in psychedelic therapies and puts users at risk.

The challenge now is twofold. On the one hand, there’s the need to sustain rigorous, regulated research that can open promising therapeutic avenues. On the other, there’s the need to rein in a market that exploits growing demand with products that, at best, do nothing and can, at worst, be dangerous.

One thing that’s clear is that THCA flower isn’t going anywhere any time soon. 

In short, THCA flower is raw hemp flower, which is legal, but it’s been cultivated to produce high levels of THCA, which is THC’s raw precursor.  Basically, THCA flower and marijuana flower are chemically identical, and it’s just a sort of legal loophole that isn’t looking like it’s going to change in the near future.

Now, pure THCA flower is awesome as it is – after all, it’s the same thing as weed – but if you’ve been following the latest in hemp industry trends, then you know that companies are coming up with new ways to satisfy cannabis users by “modifying” cannabis flower buds for more potency.  

Today, we’re going to take a look at THCA Moonrocks, and our best THCA Moonrocks review, where you can use our code HIGHTIMES25 for 25% off with fast and free shipping to try these for yourself here.

Plus, you’ll get an exclusive view of the first THCA + THC-P Flower on the market that takes your high to a whole new level, while supplying you with loads of good old, authentic delta 9 THC. 

What are THCA Moonrocks?

First off, let’s talk about THCA moonrocks, which aren’t exactly brand new to the market.  Basically, moonrocks are flower buds that are infused with some kind of distillate (of a psychoactive cannabinoid), and then rolled in kief, which is a powdery residue that naturally falls off of the buds due to friction.  Kief is actually the powdered form of the trichomes – those resinous buds that cover the flowers, where we find high concentrations of terpenes and cannabinoids.

In short, moonrocks are really potent, by design.  And, as you probably guessed, THCA moonrocks are THCA flower buds infused with a distillate, and rolled in kief.  Otherwise, they can be used just like ordinary flower, and come in the same strains that you know and love.

The THCA Moonrocks at Bloomz

The THCA Moonrocks at Bloomz are new to the brand’s catalog, and already, a top seller.  These are premium, indoor-grown buds that already yield high THCA levels (that match their respective weed strains), and they’re infused with THCA distillate for even more delta 9 THC per puff.  Then, they’re rolled in a nice, thick layer of kief so that each smoking or vaping session gives you a major dose of the many cannabinoids and terpenes that you know and love.

These moonrocks come in two options: the brand’s premium line, and their Gold Line.  The latter features exotic, boutique flower that’s grown in small batches, and features the most prestigious genetics you can find.  Their regular line comes in the following strains:

• Lemon Cherry (Hybrid)
• Lemon Cookies (Sativa)
• Xx Runtz (Indica)
• Tropical Cookies (Sativa)

The Gold Line comes in these strains below:

• Yellow Cake (Hybrid)
• Banana Zkittles (Hybrid)
• Gary Payton (Indica)
• Mendo Breath (Indica)
• Illuminati (Hybrid)
• Gelato 45 (Indica)

What is THCA + THC-P Flower?

Another product that we’re excited about is THCA + THC-P flower, which is raw THCA flower infused with THC-P distillate.  Now, for those who don’t know, THC-P is tetrahydrocannabiphorol, a cannabinoid that’s 10 times as intoxicating as delta 9 THC.  And yes, it’s a cannabinoid that naturally exists in cannabis, discovered just 5 years ago in a sample of cannabis flower.

THC-P is, as you now know, extremely intoxicating.  And, that’s what a lot of people are looking for nowadays, so it’s all good.  THC-P can be extracted into a distillate, which is a purified THC-P extract, and then that can be infused into THCA flower.  Between the naturally occurring THCA levels in the flower, which convert into delta 9 THC, and the THC-P distillate, you can expect to get super duper high.  In fact, with THC-P flower, a little can really go a long way, so it’s recommended that even experienced users go lightly at first.

THC-P flower, just like moonrocks, are used like ordinary flower, and come in the same strains, too.  But, keep in mind that each company decides how much THC-P to put in their flower.  In other words, some THCA + THC-P flower contains just a little bit of THC-P, while some will contain a lot.  Naturally, this can have a big impact on how high you get.

The THCA + THC-P Flower at Bloomz

The THCA + THC-P flower from Bloomz is the newest addition to their catalog, and it’s so new that it’s not even on their website just yet.  What we can say is that given how much their other THCA flower products are so highly regarded, we know that they’re not going to mess around.  All Bloomz THCA flower is grown indoors, and yields very high levels of THCA, so you can count on the potency from the THCA alone.  We’re sure that the THC-P levels will be potent enough to give you a noticeable difference, and that the strain options are going to be exceptional as usual.

About Bloomz

Bloomz is sister brand to Binoid CBD, one of the most popular hemp brands over the last decade.  While Binoid specializes in vapes, gummies, tinctures, and other infused products that highlight rare cannabinoids, Bloomz focuses strictly on flower, with a smaller catalog that features only highly in-demand products including THCA flower, along with delta 8 flower, HHC flower, and THC-P flower.  

Bloomz is all about keeping things natural.  You’ll find moonrocks, snowcaps, pre-rolls, and your other standard flower products, all while the quality levels are above and beyond.  Again, all flower is grown indoors, using strictly organic methods, and each bud is carefully hand-trimmed and cured with care. 

One thing that Bloomz has become known for is their Gold Line, which uses boutique growing methods (small-batch practices) and exotic plants (known for their prestigious genetics) to yield the absolute best flower you can find anywhere.  This is considered the highest-grade flower you can get, and the lab reports available on Bloomz website backs that up.

Give the New Bloomz Flower Products a Try Today!

Whether you want to go with the brand’s moonrocks or THC-P-infused buds, you can look forward to a high that’s a lot more potent than what standard buds alone can give you.  So, if your tolerance is up there, we’re pretty confident that both of these products will satisfy your needs.
