How To (Safely) Enjoy 420

It’s that time of year again! Time to celebrate our love of cannabis with our fellow enthusiasts! Given everything that is going on in the world, this year will be a little bit different, but that’s all the more reason to make the most of the day! We could all use a little cheering up right now.

Whether you’re celebrating alone, with your isolation partner or virtually with friends, we wanted to share a few suggestions for how to make the most of your 420 celebration.

Try Cannabis Infused Recipes

While enjoying your time at home, why not try out some new cannabis infused recipes? You can find all of our recipes HERE; they use cannabutter, cannabis infused coconut oil and various THC and CBD tinctures. A friendly reminder to test any batch of cannabis infused butter or oil BEFORE including it in a recipe so you add the appropriate dosage. If you’re new to infused cooking, tinctures offer more precise dosing!

Try New Products

Now is the perfect time to try that new edible or vape pen you’ve  had your eye on. Enjoy from the comfort of your home with zero worry about having to go anywhere afterwards! If you are looking for a specific type of product or have questions about which ones are right for you, reach out to us on Instagram or by emailing us at [email protected] We’re always happy to help you curate the perfect cannabis bundle.

Start Low & Go Slow

It’s easy to get wrapped up in the excitement of 420! While stepping outside of your comfort zone in terms of the products you try can be fun, remember that your tolerance doesn’t chance just because of the day. It’s easy to over indulge when the whole day revolves around enjoying cannabis! Our suggestion is to always start with a low dose and slowly increase until you’ve reached the desired effect. When indulging in edibles, it’s best to wait a full 90 minutes before having a second dose.

If you find yourself a little too high, don’t panic; it happens to the best of us. You can read our top five tips of what to do HERE.

Celebrate Virtually

We are going to be celebrating a little differently this year. While we can’t physically be with our friends, we can still celebrate virtually. Take some time to coordinate with your favorite people, near and far, and set up a Google Hangout or Zoom party! We are fortunate to have so many ways of maintaining contact with loved ones, so why not make the most of it?! We’ve seen virtual happy hours all over the place; let’s take it up a notch and start a 420 party!

Make It A Party

You’ve been in your home for weeks and you’re probably tired of it. All the more reason to truly celebrate 420 and make it an enjoyable experience. You probably have old decorations laying around the house from past birthday parties; put those to good use and decorate your home! Make your favorite foods for when you have the munchies. Wear your most favorite or comfiest clothes. Maybe you even want to get dressed up, do your hair or makeup, whatever brings you joy! Life is what we make of it and we want to celebrate!

Let Go & Enjoy

It can be tough to feel celebratory if you’ve been struggling with the isolation, but getting out of your head and allowing yourself to enjoy the day can be such a gift! Don’t get caught up on the plans you had or what you thought the day should look like. Make it your own and enjoy it for what it is!

Happy 420 from all of us at The Healing Co.!
