Upgrade your Picnic - With Cannabis
With cannabis legalization coming in October, Summer 2018 is the time to start exploring all that this plant has to offer! Sure, you can do the typical things - nature hike with a joint, edibles by the beach or even vaping on the boardwalk - but what about something different? I mean, how good does a cannabis-infused picnic sound? It sounds like my cup of tea, that's for sure. So - how do you go about planning a cannabis-infused picnic adventure?
Step One: Pick The Perfect Strain In order to avoid a heavy-hitting Indica, or an overly skunky aroma, it is a good idea to determine the best strain before you step outside. A solid Sativa or a mellow hybrid would be good places to start when looking for the perfect pairing to a picnic date. If you’re not up for packing your bud, grinder and papers you can pre-roll your joints at home or buy them in pre-rolled packs! They are convenient and easy to toss into a picnic basket - all you need is a lighter! Another option are vape cartridges, which can be great alternatives to flower for those who are not as keen on smoking a joint - plus, they are scent and smoke-free. If you are planning on hanging out for a while, you can even do cannabis-infused dessert (such as
cookies or brownies) but they do last several hours, so make sure you have the time and don’t have too much.
If you are looking for some suggestions, here are a few choices for picnic-friendly strains
Pineapple Express Pineapple is the perfect summer flavor and this strain combines the sweet fruity taste with Sativa genetics for the ultimate chill-out. With a little boost in energy, Pineapple Express won’t get you overly hyped, but it is sure to keep you going all day. This strain can be purchased from your local or online cannabis dispensary in flower or already made pre-roll joints! If you’re just a fan of the flavor, you can also opt for a pineapple vape cartridge and enjoy the taste of summer.
Girl Scout Cookies Girl Scout Cookies is another great summer-time strain thanks to the sweet and earthy aroma and matching taste. This strain is a fairly balanced hybrid with a long lasting high that results in happiness and euphoria, as well as couch lock. Plus, Girl Scout Cookies is an appetite-booster, which makes it perfect for enjoying a picnic while watching your worries melt away. This is a popular strain that can be found almost anywhere. It can be purchased as bulk flower or in a convenient, ready-to-go pre-rolled carton!
Grapefruit Haze This strain is a potent hybrid with almost the perfect ratio of Indica to Sativa genetics. Bred from BC Grapefruit and Super Silver Haze, this strain has an effective cerebral boost to give the user increased energy, creativity and even spark a case of the giggles! This strain is perfect for parttime tokers and those who just want to add a little kick to their day. Plus the grapefruit and berry flavors are an added bonus! Not as popular as the Girl Scout Cookies, it can be found predominantly in BC and is even available in a vape cartridge!
Jack Herer The last suggestion for the perfect picnic strain comes in the form of Jack Herer. This is a Sativa-dominant strain named after the long-time cannabis advocate. This strain produces a blissful, yet clear headed high with distinct euphoria and boost in energy. A few tokes of this strain will not only put you at ease, but also brighten up any experience. The woody and piney aroma and flavor pairs perfectly with an outdoor adventure, such as a well-deserved picnic at the end of the hiking trail. Find it online in pre-roll packs or you can order bulk flower and roll it yourself for the added experience!
Step Two: Food Pairings Typically at a picnic you will see a plethora of options from cheese and wine to sandwiches to fruit and meat trays. In order to get the most out of your buzz - and picnic - choosing the proper food pairings is important! While it does not matter so much what food you choose (turkey vs ham sandwiches, watermelon versus pineapple), what does matter is the quality. Ever tasted juicy, fresh fruit when stoned? Yeah. The fresher the food, the more stimulating the experience will be so don’t chince yourself!
Step Three: Enjoy Summer is a great time to sit back and enjoy - and a cannabis-infused picnic is no exception!
