‘Tis the season to get baked.

Learn how to hack the holiday season with our ultimate guide to a cannabis Christmas.

The holidays can be an overwhelming and stressful time. Whether you’re trying to find the perfect gifts for your loved ones or simply get through family dinners, it’s easy to feel the weight of the season.

Thankfully, cannabis can make this time a bit easier. Whether you choose to smoke, vaporize, or indulge in cannabis-infused edibles, cannabis can provide stress relief, relaxation, and improved mood.

Cannabis enthusiasts seldom require an excuse to light up. But if they must, the holiday season is as fine a time as any.

Cannabis is now more prominent at celebratory events across the board, from marijuana weddings to pot-infused fine dining. While sharing edibles by the fireplace may not be as popular as passing around Christmas cookies, there are plenty of ways to get responsibly baked this holiday season.

A plethora of holiday-themed goods have already hit the market. Cannabis wreaths, Christmas decorations, a cannabis advent calendar with a different strain for each day, and a “Mistletoke” bouquet are all available for purchase this Christmas. There are also various holiday-inspired edibles recipes available, ranging from THC-spiked cider to pumpkin spice waffles with THC butter.

And it’s not only for Christmas: there are even Hanukkah gift boxes containing strains for each of the Jewish holiday’s eight nights.

Cannabis can help relieve the emotional burden of visiting family, being alone, or any of the other legitimate reasons for seeking a holiday pick-me-up.

Whether you are dealing with the emotion burden of visiting family, spending the holiday season alone or even just relaxing on the sofa, eating some excellent cuisine, and binge-watch old episodes of The Office, canna-Christmas is for all.

But, in case you need some extra help during this time of the year, we’ve got you prepared with our guide to surviving the holidays with cannabis:

Using Discrete Methods to Avoid Confrontations

Every one of us has “that” relative who is completely opposed to cannabis. Although many countries and territories around the world have passed legislation allowing for the recreational or therapeutic use of cannabis, there are still people who are vehemently opposed to it.

These close-quarters arguments may be uncomfortable and stressful when our relatives and friends assemble for the holidays. Because the holidays are designed for pleasure and happiness, it’s essential to take precautions to avoid any problems related to your cannabis usage.

Using discreet ways, such as vaporizers, edibles, topicals, or oils, is the best way to avoid overly-curious relatives. Avoid that tell-tale cannabis scent with these inconspicuous products.

Furthermore, cannabis-based foods, tinctures, oils, or topicals can be utilized discreetly. Even if you enjoy smoking cannabis, using more discreet techniques to consume cannabis during the holidays will save you a lot of worry.

Take Care of Yourself Before the Holidays

It’s critical to prepare your mind and body for excitement before any major holiday, such as Christmas, Hanukkah, or New Year’s Eve.

Before each important occasion, pamper yourself with CBD-infused bath bombs, luscious THC-infused chocolates, or muscle relaxing CBD salves. Your overall stress levels will be low if you treat your mind and body to soothing doses of THC or CBD.

Break the strain (pun-intended) by indulging yourself so you may really enjoy the holidays.

Begin Slowly

The holidays are exciting, which causes many of us to overindulge before the celebration even begins. The last thing you want is to have a “green out” before the New Year’s Eve countdown.

Start the New Year off right by controlling your cannabis use throughout the night.

Flying with Cannabis

Many of you will most likely be traveling over the holidays. Regardless of whether you’re flying to a cannabis-friendly state, it is essential to be aware of what the limitations and restrictions are.

Don’t ruin your holidays by bringing the top-shelf product you just bought. Instead, choose a popular CBD product that does not contain more than the legal THC limit. You won’t have to worry or break out in a cold sweat when you see that German Shepard approaching the airport terminal.

Maintain Your Alertness Without The High

The holidays need a significant amount of effort, particularly for hosts. If you don’t want to hit the THC too hard, it’s time to turn to CBD. CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that generates many of the benefits we’ve come to expect from cannabis.

CBD products can provide relaxation, heightened awareness, pain alleviation, anxiety reduction, and other benefits. CBD is not only thoroughly researched in terms of these advantages, but it is also widely available in many food shops.

Instead of getting overly high, turn to CBD throughout the holiday season to be the greatest host you can be.

Choose the Best Cannabis Strains for the Situation

It is critical that you select the appropriate cannabis strain for the occasion. Unless you’ve made up your mind, you’ll want an energy-inducing combination for New Year’s Eve so you don’t pass out before midnight.

Other holidays, including as Christmas and Hanukkah, are best paired with Indica-leaning hybrids that leave you calm and stress-free. This is why it’s critical to match cannabis strains to the tone of the party or holiday.

Do you want to be merry and ready to party all night? Opt for a Sativa-dominant hybrid. Ready to unwind with a drink of eggnog and some Netflix with the family? Opt for an Indica-dominant hybrid.

Make Sure To Stock Up Before The Holiday Rush

Because the holidays are already stressful, it’s critical that you get your cannabis products before the Christmas rush. Cannabis stores will have long queues as Christmas and New Year’s approaches, as well as closures on these dates.

Save yourself the trouble by getting your cannabis well in advance of the holidays. Not only will you save a ton of time, but you’ll also have the opportunity to select the greatest cannabis items before they sell out.

It’s a win-win strategy since it’s one less item to worry about when the pressure builds. By purchasing early, you may now focus on other vital concerns such as wardrobe combinations, recipes, and gifts for friends and family.

For Better or Worse, Happy Holidaze!

Finally, the holidays usually bring joy, frustration, tension, excitement, and other emotions. It’s critical that you take a breather, take a step back, and recognize that these holidays are some of the finest memories we’ve ever had.

Whether you have to argue with an uncle about cannabis legality or finally get to share a smoke with your folks, the holidays are about appreciating every last drop. THC, CBD, and its terpenes are excellent tools for enhancing your holidays while also keeping you safe into the New Year.
