Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, great food, and gathering with loved ones. This year, many are exploring cannabis-infused dishes to enhance the celebration. Whether you’re seeking digestive relief, stress reduction, or simply a unique culinary experience, pairing cannabis with your Thanksgiving meal can offer a new level of enjoyment—when done safely and thoughtfully.

Dosage: Start Low, Go Slow

Safe dosing is critical for a positive experience. For beginners, 1–2.5mg of THC per serving is recommended. Intermediate users may opt for 5–10mg per serving, but it’s best to keep individual servings below 5mg for group meals to avoid overconsumption.

• Microdosing allows guests to pace themselves and enjoy the meal without unwanted side effects.
• Label infused dishes clearly so everyone knows what contains cannabis and how much.
• Avoid mixing cannabis with alcohol, as this can intensify effects.

Timing: When to Serve Cannabis-Infused Dishes

Edibles take time to work—effects may begin 30–90 minutes after consumption and peak around 2–3 hours. To ensure everyone enjoys the meal:

• Serve infused appetizers or sides early, allowing time for effects to set in before the main course.
• Offer non-infused options for guests who prefer to abstain.
• Consider dosing liquid sides (like gravy or cranberry sauce) per spoonful for easy self-monitoring.

Digestive Relief: Cannabis & Thanksgiving Comfort

Thanksgiving feasts can be heavy, but cannabis may help with digestive comfort:

• CBD-infused dishes can reduce inflammation and soothe the stomach.
• THC may stimulate appetite and promote relaxation.
• Infused oils, butters, and honey can be added to sides like mashed potatoes, stuffing, or desserts for gentle relief.

Safe Use: Etiquette & Best Practices

• Inform guests before serving any cannabis-infused food. Consent is essential.
• Divide and dose food accurately, labeling each dish with its cannabinoid content.
