and Happy Green Wednesday!
Thanksgiving is a time for family and friends to gather, share delicious foods, and spend quality time together. Where there is food, there will also be those who love cannabis. As cannabis becomes more and more mainstream, many consumers are incorporating some green into their holiday meals.
A 2022 survey was conducted by Ayr Wellness Inc, a leading U.S. cannabis operator along with Suzy, a global market research platform, where 70% of cannabis consumers that participated said they are “buying enough cannabis to share with friends and family.”
There seems to be some truth behind that claim. Cannabis culture has grown so much that “Green Wednesday”, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, has become the second-largest day for cannabis sales, even beating out 4/20.
In celebration of Thanksgiving and Green Wednesday, we here at Cloud 8 offer up our favorite strains along with our favorite Thanksgiving dishes in preparation for the holiday.
Thanksgiving Sides and Sativas
While the main course may consist of turkey and stuffing, many of us like to start with the sides, and mac and cheese comes to mind when thinking of tasty sides.
Did you know the largest service of mac and cheese weighed over 2400 pounds? And the record for the fastest person to finish an entire box of mac and cheese is one minute and 2.14 seconds!
If you’re looking to break mac and cheese records, get motivated with Cloud 8 Super Silver Haze. Offering a skunk citrus flavor, Super Silver Haze is a perfect companion on those before-dinner walks with your cousin.
The Bird and the Hybrid
The main course. The turkey! While other fowl may make an appearance at your table, such as duck or chicken, the turkey is the star of the show at most modern tables.
Did you know Americans will consume approximately 1.4 billion pounds of turkey on Thanksgiving?
