Taking your at home spa day to a spahhhhhhh day, with a range of easily found adult-use cannabis products.

Talk to any spa manager and you’ll get some rundown of the key components of recreating a proper spa day in the comfort of your own home.

Scent is often a crucial element of course, as the connection between the olfactory system and memories or feelings of relaxation are powerful and well demonstrated. But all of your senses being activated and then put into some form of relaxation and restorative juju is what most seek when kicking off a treat-yourself day of primping and pampering right at home.

Now just think: All that, plus the many plant based benefits and entourage effects of combining wellness and weed in the walls of your personal inner sanctum. What’s better than that?

Thus we present this easy-to-follow guide of ways to kickstart a kickass day of damn good spa and wellness while never leaving your front door…provided you did so beforehand and hit your local Western Mass dispensary for these widely available products, in this case all sourced from Canna Provisions’ two retail stores in Holyoke and Lee (products featured on next page).

Morning

1. Your day begins with a sprinkle of sunshine by throwing a few drops of Treeworks Jungle Drops or the Daily Drops into your morning coffee or post-workout smoothie. The Daily Drops are an amazing 1:5 blend of CBG and THC (with ginger added) for a spritely way to get moving in the AM. The Jungle Drops were the 2022 High Times Cannabis Cup Winner, packed with well-balanced and highly enjoyable effects (and a blueberry pie flavor). Combining the 5 most well-paired cannabinoids: THC, CBD, CBG, CBN, and CBC into one tincture, Jungle Drops create an uplifting yet soothing mind and body experience unlike the rest.

2. More of a rise-and-burn kind of consumer? Kickstart your morning with some Smash Hits Kingston Kind, a high-CBD, low-THC landrace strain from the mountains of Kinston, Jamaica which bring all the citrusand-earth flavors and the kind of get-up-and-go full body energy and balance that makes for fuel to run, or run errands, or whatever is on the agenda for a feel-better day. These are also available in “Communion” 5-pack preroll tins as part of Smash Hits partnership with Little Steven Van Zandt.

Afternoon

Now that your day is going and you have more wellness on the docket, cue up some chosen live music or an inspirational motivational podcast/ mindfulness exercise and then settle into a relaxing water + cucumber + fresh herbs you can prep in the morning to hydrate the mind and body. Want to plus it up a bit?

3. Add some WYNK Black Cherry Fizz, a refreshing seltzer infused with a tasty tang of ripe black cherries and a properly balanced ratio of THC:CBD with a reliable onset of effects in 10-15 minutes. The best part? WYNK has zero calories and zero sugar. 4. If the uplift and feelings of “this is the time to go hiking,” take that spirit and run with it (forest bathing is the key to a happy and healthy life). Have some Wana Massachusetts Sunrise, delicious fast acting sativa chews that are an amazing pre-hike fuel up. Fancy flower when the sun is high in the sky on a day of physical restoration? 5. Go for some Smash Hits Lemon OG Haze, a classic and energizing example of the strain that you can grab as a 1 gram flower bud, a full 3.5 gram jar, or 7 grams of small buds for creating little salads of your chosen chiba with a side of sour tart lemon, pine, pepper, and diesel fuel flavors thrown in.

Evening

As the day stretches on, the sun begins to dip, and you are settling into a fantastic groove of good feels, it’s time to begin the descent.

6. Start off with some Live Rosin in the form of a convenient 510 vaporizer cartridge of California Raisins - a sweet and unctuous offering from the Smash Hits line that won the High Time 2022 Massachusetts Cannabis Cup for best concentrate. Looking to maybe cook with some cannabis for the evening? 7. Grab some Live Hash Rosin of the California Raisins or the Chem S1 from Smash Hits, mix it up into a slowly simmering butter (don’t go over 220 degrees to maintain the flavor and cannabinoid profile). Put that on things you like butter on. Game over. Goodness all night.

8. After dinner, you may be saying “this was a good day and I deserve the benefits and body fun of eating dark chocolate” - which is good because the COAST Dark Chocolate and Raspberry is a fantastic 100mg bar (5mg per serving) of Organic Dark Chocolate, Organic Dehydrated Raspberry, Organic Cocoa Butter, and Distilled Cannabis Oil. Want a little extra something-something? Shave the chocolate over some dosed ice cream for a supercharged dosed delight. Or just regular ice cream for that matter. Because ice cream is amazing, and a day of rest and rejuvenation can always be made better with ice cream.

Bedtime

After a day like you have just had, you can cap it off at bedtime in a variety of ways. Want to slide right into the rainbow waterfall of deep sleep, stay there and dance among the nancies of your nightly dreamscape?

9. Grab some Smash Hits Da Funk flower or a preroll and light up before you lay down, as that strain can be a one way ticket to the zonked zone. 10. Speaking of zonked, grab some Zzonked, a fantastic collection of gummies blending melatonin and full-spectrum cannabinoids: CBN, CBD, and THC. A combo like that has helped people fall asleep faster, deeper and regulate one’s sleep cycle for a more replenishing rest.The other way is to forgo the night light for a light romp in the hay (it’s great exercise after all).

11. & 12. Grab some Sawyer Farm CBD Intimacy Oil for you and a partner, or just have a 2-pack of 1906 Love Drops containing a swallowable pill of plant based ingredients, THC/ CBD, and even Muira Puama and Catuaba plant ingredients, known as the “Viagra of the Amazon” due to increasing blood flow to the pelvic area and per the company aids in “erections in men as well as sensation and orgasms in women.” Feel free to put that to the test.
