Pass the Pie and the Pre-Rolls

By Amanda Penque

Thanksgiving gatherings have evolved, and cannabis has found its place in the holiday tradition. It’s a time for munchies and togetherness—but it can also bring stress, long hours in the kitchen, and the occasional awkward family dynamic.

Cannabis is the perfect addition to your holiday, whether to enhance flavors, calm nerves, or elevate that post-meal recovery.

Here’s how you can embrace the day with some options to complement every part of your holiday this year.

Morning Prep with Sativa
If you’re kicking off Thanksgiving early with the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade or diving into meal prep, a sativa strain could be a great choice. Known for its uplifting and energizing effects, sativa can help you stay focused and motivated for a long day ahead. These popular options are known for their smooth effects and pair well with busy mornings.

Midday Balance with Hybrids
As the day progresses, you might be navigating anxious social interactions, juggling food prep, or dealing with a full belly. This is where hybrid strains shine. Hybrids combine characteristics of both sativa and indica offering a balanced effect that can either uplift or relax depending on the specific strain. These are particularly useful for easing nerves, staying present, and enhancing appetite just in time for the main course.

Evening Relaxation with Indica
Once the plates are cleared, the big game is on, and everyone is settling in, indica strains come in. Known for their calming and body-relaxing effects, indica strains are ideal for winding down after a busy day. They could also be a great match for dessert—strains with sweeter flavor profiles can pair beautifully with that second piece of pumpkin pie you’ve been eyeing or other holiday treats. These strains are a favorite for their relaxing properties and smooth finish to a full day.
