2021 BUYING GUIDE FOR A CANNABIS THANKSGIVING
‘Tis the season for pumpkin spice and everything nice – including these special Thanksgiving weed strains and elevated goodies we’re especially grateful for. No matter the day, or weekend you have planned – we’ve got a pot pairing for you.
1. Add a Festive Flair with Fall Flavors
You’ll be the hit of any Friendsgiving or Thanksgiving gathering with a festive lineup of fall-flavored flower or stains. Here’s the freshest offerings to add to your cannabis cornucopia this year.
Apple Fritter – Nothing says fall and Thanksgiving like apples and donuts, but Apple Fritter delivers even more. The strain has unique hints of funky cheese making it the perfect addition to any charcuterie board of bud to share with your bests. More importantly, Apple Fritter is a Sativa hybrid that’ll stimulate conversations in those all too common holiday awkward silences.
Marshmallow OG – A live resin vape cart reminiscent of your favorite sweet potato dish is just as satisfyingly sweet. This Marshmallow OG variety by Brite Labs has a sweet and nutty aroma that’s synonymous with freshly baked goods of the holiday. You’ll be just as baked with 86% THC and the benefits of full-spectrum effects from a variety of whole-plant terpenes and cannabinoids.
2. Mellow Your Mood
From normal social anxiety to dealing with your mildly inappropriate Uncle for hours – every holiday is riddled with some level of stress. With a quick step outside, and a hit of Ghost OG you’ll be floating above all of your worries with the strain’s mellowing effects. This hybrid is notorious for relieving depression and anxiety and comes in a convenient vape cart for discrete, scentless puffs. Or, pop a quick Delta 8 ProTab that’s specifically crafted to alleviate stresses with soothing effects. Overall, Delta 8 THC produces milder psychoactive effects than Delta 9 THC which can also help maintain mental clarity and focus for conversations with gathering guests.
3. Wake and Bake Brunch
There’s nothing better than starting off a Holidaze with an energizing wake and bake brunch, amirite? To get your day started with straight fire, here are the best strains for energy to get lit with or energizing edibles to enjoy:
- Cappuccino Crunch milk chocolate edibles infused with finely crushed espresso beans.
- A sativa-dominant Mimosa pre-roll known for its uplifting effects and on theme for brunch.
- Red Congolese is another sativa dominant that’s uplifting, euphoric, and energizing while easing nasuea from full tummies, too.
But don’t limit yourself to just brunch! Stay lively throughout the day and for all the plans you’ll be embarking on, by stocking up on all things Sativa.
4. Winning Wine and Weed Pairings
Double your thankfulness by bringing two of your favorite things together this Thanksgiving season – weed and wine. In general, experts agree there are a few types of wine that are on point for Thanksgiving meals and specific spices, and flavors. And, when considering the unique terpenes of cannabis, a few strains pair well with those. So, choose your favorite wine and select a coordinating strain to elevate your feast and experience that much more.
- Rieslings – Mango or orange-flavored strains like Mango Sherbet or Passion Orange Guava are ideal for Rieslings and similar white wines.
- Pinot Noirs – Rich Pinot Noirs are the perfect partners to the sweet, and robust berry tastes of Blue Dream or Durban Poison.
- Brut Sparkling Rosés – Wine and weed enthusiasts recommend the strains Jack Herer or Dutch Treat for invigorating rosés.
- Sauvignon Blanc – Dry white wines are perfectly paired with refreshing and zesty flavors found in strains like Lemon Train Wreck or Pineapple Express.
- Zinfandel – The terpene Caryophyllene pairs well with Zinfandels, and is abundant in the strain, Northern Lights.

This means, queuing up good laughs on Netflix and grinding up an Indica strain that’ll comfort you into the most chill of moods. With a full belly, it’s fitting that Fatso the strain is a perfect Thanksgiving cannabis finale. The variety is also potent in THC to fully knock out, kick back and relax.
Another night cap worthy treat is specially formulated to soothe you into a sweet slumber, with the addition of CBN.
