While many of us will not be doing much socializing this holiday season, we still want to share the love. And the Cannabis! Gifts of food are always welcome. Label correctly, and don’t leave the infused shortbread cookies out for Santa. He doesn’t indulge, though apparently the Mrs. loves infused hot chocolate. FYI, Blitzen is a stoner.

For a few friends, I am offering the gifts in a piece of pottery or mug so that they will have a constant reminder of my love for them. Only the CBD-infused treats will leave Oregon, and you can follow the same recipe for canna-butter with CBD flower. Expect a feeling of wellness without the head high. Keep doses low, spirits high, and be sure to love one another.
