4/20 Friendly Friendsgiving: Make it a POTluck

Happy Danksgiving season! This time of year is all about celebrating those who are important to us and relaxing as much as possible—two things that pair perfectly with cannabis. Weed can elevate your dining experience and help ease any social anxiety, making it a staple at Friendsgiving. Here’s how to stock up for the holiday season and throw an unforgettable 4/20-friendly Friendsgiving POTluck.

Friendsgiving Ideas for a Danksgiving POTluck

Hosting a cannabis-themed Friendsgiving, also known as Danksgiving, can bring friends together in a unique way. Incorporating cannabis into your gathering is about more than just smoking—it’s about creating a relaxed atmosphere, enjoying good food, and sharing unforgettable experiences. Here are some top ideas to get started.

Eat Something Green

Everyone loves a sweet treat around the holidays, and when it’s THC-infused, even better! Try adding weed-infused desserts like candies, cookies, brownies, or pie to your spread. If you enjoy baking, swap regular butter or oil for cannabutter to elevate classic recipes. Here’s a simple recipe for homemade cannabutter that can add a cannabis twist to almost any dish.

How to Make Cannabutter:

  • Step 1: Decarboxylate your cannabis to activate THC and CBD. Spread ½ oz of cannabis flower on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake at 220°F for 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Step 2: Heat 1½ cups of water and 8 oz of unsalted butter over low heat. Add the ground cannabis and mix. Let it simmer, covered, for about four hours.
  • Step 3: Strain the butter through cheesecloth or a mesh strainer and let it cool. Now you’re ready to cook with it!

Remember, homemade edibles can be potent. Aim for 30 mg of THC per tablespoon of cannabutter, but start low and go slow, especially if your guests aren’t regular consumers. Vegan butters and oils, like coconut oil, work great too for dairy-free options.

Prepare to Chill Out with CBD

While enjoying your Danksgiving treats, be sure to keep some CBD on hand. Edibles can catch even seasoned cannabis users off guard due to the way THC metabolizes in the liver. CBD can balance THC’s effects, easing any anxiety or discomfort. If any of your friends get a little too high, CBD tinctures or vapes can help manage the effects quickly. Side effects of getting too high, like rapid heartbeat, anxiety, or paranoia, are temporary, and CBD can help bring everyone back to a comfortable level.

Puff, Puff, Pass—With a Twist

A Friendsgiving isn’t complete without a shared smoke session. If you’re going for easy, mess-free options, pick up some pre-rolls for the evening. Pre-rolls offer a simple, classic way to enjoy cannabis with friends, and you can choose from different strains to suit everyone’s preferences. Timber Cannabis offers a wide variety of pre-rolls, from sativa to indica and hybrid blends.
