With Father’s Day just around the corner, it’s time that we celebrate the canna-dads in your life. Whether it’s an uncle or a cousin, everyone’s got a soft spot for the father figures in their life. He might have been the one to teach you to roll or even medicated with you for the first time. Either way, you should do something nice for that guy. At least him a brownie or something. If you do want to do something a little nicer, however, we can help you out with that.
As we all know, just about every activity can be improved with a little but of bud. In the spirit of that, here’s some ideas, and strains of course, for this weekend to spend with the dad in your life.
A lot of dads are looking to keep the day pretty relaxed and who can blame them? It’s a great day to kick back and enjoy a day of admiration. If you wanna keep things mellow, try a nice edible-induced movie marathon with dad. As we discussed, edibles take some time to kick in which makes them great for a marathon. All you need now is the right movies. Try some throwbacks like Tombstone (1993) or, if you wanna laugh a little more, Airplane (1980). If your old man is a OG Flower-child, grab a variety of medium-grade bud to keep the mind active without becoming too lethargic.
- Huckleberry – See what I did there? This happy but focused strain is perfect to start of the morning as it uplifts the mood. Also great for chronic pain and helps with PTSD.
- BubbleGum – Also great with PTSD and melting away stress and depression. BubbleGum isn’t the stoniest but will turn your stomach into a bottomless pit.
- Blue Cheese – Get the laughs going while still staying pretty relaxed. Yes, it does taste cheese.
Who doesn’t love a nice “medicated” game of Golf on a Sunday morning? Toke up with some soothing hybrids high in Limonene and Caryophyllene. The combination is perfect for morning activities with its euphoric nature and anti-inflammatory benefits. Whether you decide on a little frisbee golf or regular golf, the right strain can make the activity even better. To maximise your time on the green, try out any of these strains.
- Green Crack – Appropriately named for its powerful cerebral high. This strain makes you very social but equally calm in the mind and body. Expect some crazy ideas, however.
- Orange Haze – This smooth tasting, slightly sativa strain will keep your shots creative. We can’t guarantee they will be successful but, it will be awesome.
- Lemon Haze – This citrus strain is like drifting on a cloud of happiness. Like Green Crack, this strain can come on a bit strong. Save it for later in the game.
If you are looking for something a bit more competitive and/or intense, try taking the father in your life out for a match in paintball. For more intense sports, try strains balanced in terpenes so the effects aren’t too one sided. Even if it’s a new activity, it’s a great way to challenge each other. The paint will indeed leave a stain and a mark, if you get hit. To keep spirits high and pain in the manageable realms, try these strains:
- Dutch Treat – Though this strain is slightly more Indica, it’s extremely uplifting and creative. It makes it perfect for this high-energy activity.
- Purple Haze – Unlike most purple strains, this one is more sativa. Made popular possibly when your dad was toking up, it has an intense creative burst while leaving a light buzz in the body. Play some Purple Haze while you duke it out in the game!
