#2. Stocking Stuffers and Cannabis

If you’re like my Dutch family, everyone gets oranges, nuts and chocolate letters in their stockings.

And let’s face it, those cheap trinkets and snacks that fill stockings every year are so much more exciting after a few tokes or edibles!

Stuff a little bud in the bottom of your stoner friend’s stocking, or throw in a cute little cannabis gift so you can spend the rest of the holidays baking, making, and creating!

#3. Weed Makes Spirits Bright!

Weed tends to make people feel a little more relaxed, easy-going and chlil during the holidays, which makes it an ideal compliment for Christmas.

#4. Cannabis May Ease Awkward Situations

If your Christmas get together involves people or family members you are not too crazy about, then consuming edibles or smoking up beforehand may help you feel a little more at ease.
