The Good Old Christmas Cannabis Fun—An Alternative to Alcohol 

Weed has always been the go-to option for stoners around the world whenever they want to let loose and have fun at all types of celebrations and parties. It’s also a great way to relax, and if we’re being honest, a room full of stoners always feels less threatening than a noisy bar full of strangers.

And if you get a good strain, you won’t have to drink alcohol this season at all. Sure, alcohol is the ultimate party drink for most people. But it gives you hangovers, stomach upsets, and, if you overindulge and don’t work out a lot, a beer belly. Now, imagine having all the euphoria you could possibly imagine without having to deal with the more unpleasant results of alcohol on a Christmas morning. 

And if you do drink and end up drinking too much, a good spliff could make the hangover go away. This brings us to our next point.

Weed as a Christmas Hangover Remedy

One of the best things about Christmas is reconnecting with friends and family members you haven’t seen in a while. When we finally get to see them, the allure of getting a drink with them seems totally irresistible. After the first few drinks, the fun begins, and it’s downhill from there.

Flash forward to the morning after, and you can barely get out of bed. You have a throbbing headache and so much nausea, you feel like your stomach wants to come out. In most cases, you can’t even take a bite, even if it’s your favorite meal. At this moment, you’d take anything as a remedy to make you feel human again.

That’s where cannabis comes in. For centuries, cannabis has been used by numerous societies for its benefits, the most notable of them being reducing nausea and restoring a healthy appetite. So, when you wake up with a major hangover on a Christmas morning, roll up a joint, smoke it, and you’ll be back to your normal self in no time—or at least closer to it, considering your previous circumstances.

Cannabis Edibles Treats

Christmas holidays are synonymous with cute, goofy, and festive treats. Thanks to the creativity of some inventive cannabis users, you can now infuse your favourite Christmas treats with cannabis. It doesn’t matter whether you like your treats savory or sweet. There are so many recipes for cannabis edibles out there that it’s nearly impossible not to find something that suits your pallet.

Many cannabis users say that edibles give them a deeper experience of life. Considering how high edibles can make you and how long the high lasts, that notion might just be true. So, this Christmas, whip up your favorite treat recipe and add some cannabis flower to the mix. In addition, you can make your own cannabis-infused butter to add in or buy some from your favorite weed dispensary.

But when indulging in edibles, remember to gauge your tolerance limit. They take a while to kick in, sometimes even more than an hour. But when they kick in, they kick in hard. And you wouldn’t want to zone out during a Christmas dinner, would you?

While you’re at it, remember to store your cannabis-infused treats separately from the rest. After all, you don’t want kids getting their hands on it. You should also alert everybody else in the house that your treats contain cannabis, so they don’t end up getting high unintentionally.

Family Gatherings With Weed

We all love our relatives. But sometimes, it can be quite unbearable to be around them for long periods, especially when they start talking about some pretty controversial or outright uncomfortable topics.

With a little dose of weed, you can make these otherwise intolerable visits a little bit more fun. The best part about it is that they don’t even have to know you’re high. A mini to microdose of a cannabis edible can take the edge off without making you noticeably high.

Feasting While High

The holiday season is a time for parties and celebratory spreads of indulgent foods and beverages. Now, imagine having that much food in front of you and not being able to enjoy it due to appetite issues. It would suck, right?

Well, among the many benefits of cannabis is its incredible appetite-inducing properties. And that’s not all. Weed also makes everything taste much better. So, why not make your grandma feel proud this Christmas as she sees you gobbling down her meal?

Traveling High

The time around Thanksgiving and Christmas is probably one of the heaviest travel days all year. There are tons of traffic everywhere, and when you finally make it to the airport, you still have to sit through a couple of hours on a boring flight, only to embark and get jet lagged.

But with weed, you can make your holiday travel more exciting than ever. Weed can make even the longest flight seem enjoyable. It is also an excellent sleep aid, so a little weed before your flight can have you sleeping through the whole way. That way, you don’t have to read boring magazines or listen to the same old playlist on repeat.

Unwind a Bit

Holiday festivities are fun, but they can also take their toll on you and leave you feeling mentally exhausted. Sometimes, taking some time out for yourself is the only remedy. And what better way is there to do it than with weed?

Taking a momentary time-out with a calming weed strain can give you all the relaxation you need to unwind and enjoy the moment.

Weed as a Christmas Gift

If you have any friends or family members who are stoners, why don’t you surprise them this year with an out-of-the-box idea kind of gift: weed? There are tons of weed gifts you can give, from cannabis flower and edibles to handy accessories like weed grinders and bongs. Don’t be afraid to go all-out with it. After all, it’s Christmas.

Get a CBD Massage

If you want to treat yourself or someone else to a day of relaxation this holiday season, why not go out and get a CBD massage? Not only is it relaxing, but CBD massage parlors are also quite luxurious. You’ve worked hard all year. You deserve to be treated like royalty.

Watch the Christmas Parade While High

Everything seems so much enjoyable when you’re high, especially the Christmas parade. According to various research, weed makes colors seem more vibrant. It also enhances the way we hear sounds. So, why not enjoy the Christmas parade this year on a whole other level?

The Christmas parade is characterized by bright-colored costumes and props. Numerous bands also come out to showcase their music. And there is a lot of art there. Experiencing all this when you’re high makes the whole experience more enjoyable. You also get to appreciate the aesthetics of the decorations.

Play the “Hits Game”

If you’ve played a shot-drinking game, you know perfectly well how it always ends. This Christmas, switch things up a bit. Instead of doing shots, replace them with hits. This is a game that not only will get you incredibly high but also is very fun. And it comes with a bonus: no hangover!

Spending Christmas Alone? Hotbox

If you’re spending this Christmas alone, why not create a warm holiday feeling by the fire? And to turn things up a notch, light your fireplace and dump some weed in there. Think of it as a Yule log—only this one will get you incredibly high.

Wear Weed-themed Christmas Pajamas

What’s cozier than a pair of brand-new pajamas? Now, imagine if they’re weed-themed. Give your friends and family members a fresh set of weed-themed winter PJs to snuggle into on Christmas eve. The best thing about weed-themed PJs is that they’re unisex, so the boys and girls can match.

This way, the whole gang can feel even more festive when they’re dressed up for the occasion in the thing they love most: weed.

Weed Christmas Tree

If you have a cannabis plant at home, you can decorate it and use it the same way as a traditional Christmas tree. One thing’s for sure: The leaves on a weed plant look so much better than those of a traditional Christmas tree.

Alternatively, you can shop for an artificial weed Christmas tree. They are available at many leading online shopping platforms. These trees look almost like the real thing. And when you decorate them a bit, they’re sure to bring the festive mood into your home.

Watch Cartoons While High 

This might seem pretty weird. But watching cartoons while high is the best thing ever. Most cartoons, even the stupidest ones, will have you clutching your ribs. There’s something about watching cartoons when high; sometimes, it feels like they were written by a fellow stoner. The humor is simply over the charts.

How to Celebrate Christmas While High

If you like cannabis, then the chances are that you’re celebrating this festive season high. 

We’ve already shown you ways weed can make Christmas better. Now, let’s go into how to do it. Whether you’re smoking weed to soothe stress or anxiety or you’re indulging together with your family, here are a few tips to stay safe while enjoying the season.

Watch Your Doses

This is especially crucial if you’re new to cannabis. Begin with small doses, then work your way up. Small doses work well for relieving stress while limiting psychoactive effects. If you’re dealing with edibles, 2mg is a good start dose.

Even if you’re an experienced user, you should still watch your intake, especially if you’re taking it to make spending time with your friends and family more enjoyable. Holiday anxiety can sometimes cause you to overindulge, and while you might get really high, nothing spoils the party like a person who gets way too high.

Be Respectful

Even if your friends and family members know that you indulge, it never hurts to ask permission before bringing any cannabis products to the gathering. You might be comfortable with weed, but that doesn’t mean that everyone there is a fan.

Weed smoke can exacerbate lung conditions like asthma. It is, therefore, important to ask if anyone present has a health or preference problem before you light up.

Avoid Mixing in Alcohol

Unless you are an expert at managing your alcohol and weed intake, don’t wait ’til Christmas to figure it out. We’re not refuting the fact that consuming them together works occasionally, but if you overindulge, you might just end up ruining Christmas for everyone.

Drinking alcohol before using cannabis can enhance the effects of weed, resulting in a much stronger high than you intended. On the other hand, drinking after using weed can minimize the effects of alcohol. This means that you might end up being tipsier than you actually feel.

Stoners don’t need a reason to light it up, but when the opportunity presents itself, it never hurts to indulge. And what better time is there than Christmas? Make this Christmas memorable with the tips above, and remember to spread the holiday spirit with cool weed-themed Christmas gifts and treats.
