It's Canna-Christmas Time?
As we head towards the end of 2023, and marvel at the fact that somehow the human race has managed to avoid utter and total annihilation, an ancient, primordial force stirs, and awakens in the back of our mind.
December is here. And with it, the requisite inordinate amounts of consumer spending, and the one time of year you can’t escape Mariah Carey.
Whilst browsing through the barren hellscape that is the Internet in the modern age attempting to find ideas for my holiday shopping, a thought came to me, which in itself, is a horrifying prospect.
While tempting to google ‘weird weed Christmas’ ideas, the last vestiges of my moral compass try to dissuade me from making a list from well - other lists.
So without any further ado, I’m off to find some Canna-Christmas items myself.
Disclaimer - HNE has no association or links to any of the products or creators listed here. In fact, the local house raccoon penning this goes out of his way to avoid speaking with people whenever possible. But if we’re referencing someone else’s listing, the least we can do is link to it.
This one stands out to me because I immediately recognized it as a recycled product from our regulated market. You’ve got the red THC sticker, the excise tax label, and the yellow Health Canada warning message. Sometimes you gotta think outside the box when it comes to recycling. Maybe not a gift idea but it’s…properly festive.
Another tree ornament, but this one’s a little subtler and may fly over some people’s heads. It’s a nice thought for those who prefer a more subtle or minimalist approach to their seasonal decorating.
This one isn’t specifically listed as a Christmas-themed item, but home-baked goods are part and parcel of the festivities. Couple that with some homemade edibles, and that sounds like a recipe for a nice trip, even if the North Pole or Santa’s Sweatshop Workshop aren’t on the travel list.
I’m not the best at giving holiday gifts. Never was, likely never will be. So for those who have a canna-connoisseur in their lives but have no idea what to get them, perhaps this may be your Hail Mary during your darkest hour on Christmas Eve. A stuffed stocking full of little RAW-branded goodies.
It’d be remiss of me to include a cannabis rolling pin without any cannabis recipes to use it on. Perhaps you could use these to make some of those leaf-branded, infused goodies for your guests or to giveaway. Maybe you could give this to the baked baker in your life.
Some years ago, when the world still had some semblance of the illusion of sense, logic and order remaining, the concept of the adult colouring book took off. I didn’t get it back then. I still don’t get it today, but maybe this could help add a splash of green to chase away those pesky winter blues.
The ugly Christmas sweater. Also an obligatory, intrinsic element of the holiday season. Whilst submerged in the depths of ugly Christmas sweater listings, this one, and this one alone, stood out to me.
It’s probably the lack of text.
…And the fact that a stoned sloth shows supreme sloth (that is a sloth, right?).
Candles and cannabis have typically gone hand-in-hand - usually to try and clear the air, so to speak. Although we’re probably a long way off from any sort of cannabis Yankee Candles, at the very least, this could be an option for the person for whom cannabis smoke isn’t the only smoke in their lives.
…What is it with the Grinch-themed cannabis products during the holidays? Is it because he’s green? I don’t know what Dr. Seuss’s views on cannabis were, but given the time period he was alive, he’d probably be rolling in his grave enough to solve the global energy crisis.
And on that note, while this might not help you with your holiday shopping…at least it’s nice to know there’s options out there.
Even if the only wish list these will show up on is your own.
