As the efforts to legalize cannabis in the US continue to strengthen, there’s suddenly a diversity of voices who are proudly staking their claims as cannabis consumers. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s parents who are leading the pack—normalizing their cannabis consumption as just another tool that can help with the mental and physical load of raising kids.
With Father’s Day right around the corner, we partnered with award-winning Massachusetts dispensary Canna Provisions, exclusive home of the Smash Hits cannabis line, to put together a gift guide for all the cannabis-loving fathers out there who just want to sit back and relax with a little help from a plant-based friend.
For Dads That Need Some Shut-Eye
What dad doesn’t need a little more sleep? Go easy on him and gift him a goodie bag filled with cannabis products that are formulated to promote rest, including minor cannabinoids such as CBD, CBC, CBN, CBG or Indica-derived THC. Wana’s Stay Asleep Gummies, Levia’s water-soluble Dream Tincture, and Bay State Hemp’s Trifecta Blackout Drops will cover all his bases.
For Dads That Need a Pick-Me-Up
If Dad isn’t getting much sleep, then he definitely needs a pick-me-up to make it through the day. When gifting, opt for Sativas and Sativa-leaning cannabis hybrids, which are known for their energizing effects. Canna Provisions’ Smash Hits flower strains like Stardawg, Blue Dream, Lemon OG Haze, which come in convenient pre-rolls, or a “Ready to Roll” pre-ground bud pack of Durban Poison are great picks.
Want to branch out from traditional flower? Betty’s Eddie’s Go Betty Go Watermelon Chews have THCV (short for tetrahydrocannabivarin) for an energizing and focusing effect. Heirloom Collective’s Energy Cubes are packed with Vitamin B12, green tea extract, and a custom blend of uplifting plant-based terpenes.
For Dads That Love Food
It’s hard to go wrong with the gift of food. Foodie fathers will rejoice at a gift bag filled with a variety of fun and tasty cannabis-infused craft beverages and sweet and savory goodies that are exploding onto the market these days.
For any dad who wouldn’t be caught at the table without his trusty bottle of sriracha, gift a bottle of Tropezien Avocado hot sauce for a thrillingly spicy way to add a little cannabis to his mealtime routines.
Bubby’s Baked is a legend in the edibles game for a reason. The Southbridge-based company is known for cannabis-infused takes on classic desserts from brownies to snickerdoodles and even hot cocoa that will make Dad feel extra-special.
And for dads that like to unwind with a good beverage in-hand, Buzzy Root Beer has 5mg of THC for effects that can be felt in about 20 minutes and last for a few hours. Want to make Dad’s day? Pair it with a scoop of ice cream for an out-of-this-world root beer float.
For Dads That Just Want to Have Fun
Any canna connoisseur knows that when it comes down to it, the gift of great flower truly is the best. And few kinds of flower are more fun than Canna Provisions’ Smash Hits line of cannabis, which is overseen seed to sale by Greg “Chemdog” Krzanowski, the cultivator behind the legendary Chemdog strain that secured a permanent place in Leafly’s “100 Best Weed Strains of All Time.”
Here are three great Smash Hits products to gift:
The outrageously sweet Chem’s Fruit Stand flower is like a bowl of fruity cereal covered in sugary melon and has body-high-meets-mental-sparks effects that are perfect for a day of relaxing and chilling on the couch in front of a movie.
Yamna teamed up with Smash Hits to make cannagars (a cannabis take on a cigar) using two grams of premium flower and 0.5g of live resin, a concentrate that retains the cannabis plant’s original flavor and fragrance. The Hippie Slayer cannagar is a Chemdog favorite, with a deep, rich body high powered by waves of get-things-done gassy energy.
MAC 1 (short for “Miracle Alien Cookies”) has been called the “Mother of All Cannabis,” so it’s a no-brainer as to why Canna Provisions’ .5 g MAC1 pre-rolls won took home first place at the 2023 NECANN awards last March. Go ahead and gift a five-pack to a dad who deserves the best.
