Tips for a Safe and Enjoyable Cannabis Thanksgiving

When incorporating cannabis into your Thanksgiving festivities, here are a few tips to keep it enjoyable and responsible:

• Start Low, Go Slow: Especially with edibles, it’s best to consume a small amount and give it time before reaching for more.
• Be Mindful of Others: Not everyone may want to partake in cannabis, so keep designated spaces for consumption if needed.
• Pair with Food and Drinks: Try pairing specific strains with different dishes for a fun twist on Thanksgiving dinner!
• Stay Hydrated: Drinking water can help keep you refreshed and enhance the overall experience.
• Enjoy Responsibly: If you’re celebrating away from home, arrange for a designated driver or transportation.
