Marijuana makes a great last minute gift

Gift giving can be difficult – finding the perfect gift requires thought, skill and time… and sometimes you just don't have time. According to the National Retailers Association, more than 140 million people will be out shopping for last-minute gifts. You've seen them driving around, printing pictures from the internet and frantically searching for open stores. Don’t stress about finding the perfect one – we have an idea. Marijuana makes a great last minute gift.

There are a few other ideas that have nothing to do with cannabis. Gift cards (if you know what they like), the new Bailey's Chocolate is a little slice of heaven, or a fun subscription like a master class, media like your favorite news site, or movie tickets (where they're also open late). But why not give weed as a gift since 18% of people use it?

Over 50% of the country has access to legal cannabis and the spread is happening faster than you think. According to the BDSA, women are almost equal to men when it comes to using. And according to Pew Research, 90% believe it should be legal in some form. Since almost 20% of the population consumes, why not give something away? Pharmacies stay up late, so it really is a great last minute gift.

When giving the gift of marijuana, think gummy bears. They are the most commonly used form, with nearly 49% saying they prefer gummy bears over all others. Next would be chocolate edibles, which are easy to use and easy to dose.

A fun idea could also be a hemp drink, which can be found in convincing stores, pharmacies and, in some states, liquor stores and is an alternative to beer. Although hemp, unlike marijuana, does not have the psychoactive components of the cannabis plant, it can still produce a high. And brewers making hemp beers must still follow proper licensing and regulations at the state and federal levels.
