St. Patrick’s Day and cannabis go hand in hand — whether you’re Irish or not; who doesn’t like celebrations and friends? These days, more and more Americans are enjoying to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with cannabis rather than booze, and that’s always not a bad idea because, for some, is carries less negative effects to their bodies.
If you’re interested in celebrating with cannabis this year, check out our top suggestions (with local dispensary recommendations) to celebrate safely and enjoyably!
Easy peasy: just get yourself a THC beverage!
THC beverages, made by using an oil, tincture, or cannabis extract, can come in teas, cocktails or sodas. It can be a nice and easy way to enjoy cannabis.
Skymint’s “Raspberry Lemonade 100mg Beverage” is so yummy and makes dosing so easy — there’s a strip on the back that helps you track how much you’ve had. They’ve also got a delicious infused lemon iced tea if you’d rather lean more toward the tart and refreshing end of the spectrum.
Throw a St. Patrick’s Day brunch.
Whether you want to make a green eggs omelet, corn beef hash or Irish soda bread — it’s so easy to throw cannabis into the mix. Our favorite option is to use a cannabis-infused butter: that way your guests can decide whether they want to get high and how much they want to use at a time.

Take a homemade treat to your friend’s party.
Edibles just hit different. They’ll take a bit longer to get you high — smoking weed will go straight to your brain, but an edible will often inspire a deeper experience. Using cannabutter can go in most edible recipes, but you can also try infusing your favorite brownies/punch/cookies with cannaoil.
For a cozy night in, watch these cannabis friendly films.
Rotten Tomatoes actually has a fantastic list of stoner-friendly films. Check out their recommendations, including, “Dazed and Confused”, “The Big Lebowski” or “Friday.”
Or try an Irish film with cannabis munchies!
Check out “The Crying Game,” “The Banshees of Inisherin,” or “The Secret of Kells” — there are lots of well-reviewed Irish films to choose from.
If you’re celebrating solo, or romantically, try a cannabis candle!
A cannabis candle is a unique way to appreciate cannabis. Edgewater Candles has a lovely grassy, earthy candle that’s layered over the cannabis flower and burns for up to 75 hours.
