A holiday mostly about food and gratitude, a day filled with munchies, Thanksgiving can be a cannabis lover’s dream. Yet, whether you are hosting or heading to a huge family gathering, Turkey Day can actually be quite stressful. Incessant questions about your relationship status or awkward conversations with relatives who think “weed is bad”, Thanksgiving can be a real struggle. Rather than feel overwhelmed, here are a few ideas on how to incorporate cannabis into the celebration.
Still having to exhale through vents in the bathroom or “take the dog on a walk” to enjoy your pre-rolls? Not ideal, but not to worry. Bring along a CBD tincture like Care By Design | Drops 4:1 60mg. Dosing your beverages with CBD drops can reduce anxiety and, relatively low on the psychoactive scale, tinctures can offer a sense of comfort and relief. Potent and made from organically grown cannabis, Care by Design drops are fast-acting and available in a variety of ratios to suit your medicating needs. A buzz-word, canna-curious family members might also be willing to try — CBD can be a gentle introduction to the powerful plant.
Cooking all day? Rather than popping open a bottle of wine while you are prepping the bird at the crack of dawn, opt for a low-dose edible to chill you out and keep you going. Inspired Sativa Pastilles by Beboe offer a clean, subtle, euphoric high. Upping your creativity and productivity, edibles are excellent for making life a little more ‘vivid’ without getting you so stoned that you forget to follow the steps in your recipe. Wanting a consistent, low dose of THC to take throughout the day? Petra Morraccan Mints by Kiva Confections are delicious microdose mints that put you in control. A blend of CA grown cannabis, green tea matcha and peppermint extract, Moroccan Mint Petra has a refreshing peppermint taste with light notes of Tahitian vanilla. Added bonus: they are sugar-free (which means an extra slice of pie later, right?)
Few other family members partake? A vaporizer is the way to go. Discreet, easy to pass around and often friendly for those who only smoke on “special occasions”, a vape pen means there’s no need to find a lighter or place to hide butt of the joint when you’re done. Plus, you won’t reek of cannabis at the dinner table. Try Jetty Extracts Maui Wowie, a classic sativa-dominant strain much-loved for its upbeat but mellow high or Forbes-approved Acme Vape in Banana Tangie for a relaxed, yet clear-headed and uplifting effect.
Most of the party 420-friendly? Stock up on pre-rolls to pass around the table! Littles by Cru are perfect for a short “puff puff pass” sesh while the food is still hot. A hybrid like Pacific Reserve Banana Breath can be a great way to stimulate everyone’s appetite and kick off the big feast. When it is dessert time, an indica experience, like that of Elyon’s Creme Brulee pre-rolls, can help slow the evening down.
Celebrating “Danksgiving” with your best buds? Awesome! It’s your party and you can get high if you want to! Dress up your favorite dessert with edibles. Crumble 3Leaf Coconut Oatmeal Cookies around the crust of your pumpkin pie, or serve Original Pot Co. White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies alongside slices apple pie and ice cream. Looking to be a little ‘extra’? Make a “weed board”. Similar to a cheese platter, your impressive cannabis creation can consist of an array of cannabis flowers, concentrates and accessories. To appeal to all, be sure to include at least 3 different choices – high THC, a 1:1, and a microdose option. Crafted with the same care and attention you’d give to a charcuterie plate, decorate a festive cannabis station. Flora Terra’s got all the goods.
Not just for ‘stoners’, premium cannabis from Flora Terra can enhance the well-being of everyone this Thanksgiving, from your dog to your grandparents. Whether your gathering is full of the canna-curious, cannalovers or those who are staunchly against, don’t let anyone else’s vibe get you down this holiday. On Thanksgiving, let’s be grateful that cannabis is recreationally legal in the State of California and enjoy!
