The best weed strains and products for St. Patrick’s Day 2022
The millions of revelers who combine legal cannabis with St Patrick’s Day have unprecedented opportunities to fade or abstain from alcohol altogether on this boozy Irish holiday. All legalizing states — from California to Michigan to Maine — have given the green light to more options than just generic “weed” versus alcohol.
You can cater to the haters with boutique, designer indoor flowers or handmade outdoor buds; or share the party spirit with tasty, potent small and large pre-rolls. You can substitute THC drinks for alcoholic beverages, or maintain a milder high with fortified bar snacks and candy. These days, you can even fight hangovers with specially formulated THC tablets to help people recover like a pro. Here are some of the top USA cannabis strains and products for St. Patrick’s Day 2022.
Exotic party flowers
jealousy
Work up a hearty appetite with this sweet, tasty, and horny Sherbert Bx1 x Gelato 41 cross. Jealousy is a maximum THC indica hybrid that boasts some of the best GSC genetics of 2022. Make her green with envy in the smoking circle courtesy of this contemporary hybrid from number one breeder Seed Junky Genetics. Jealousy can be found on store shelves from LA to Massachusetts, Detroit, Denver, Seattle and beyond. Yes, the corned beef and cabbage go under. You too, Shepard’s Pie.
Rainbow Mintz
Here’s another hybrid to pair with food and socialize this holiday – Rainbow Mintz by Arctic Genetics. It’s all mints and rainbows this year, so this strain stands the trend test. She is a Rainbow Truffle x Animal Mintz cross that combines genetics from GSC, zkittlez, and OG Kush. Rainbow Mintz makes a beer or Irish coffee taste even happier. In Cali, Source has Rainbow Mintz flowers and Korova has dabs of it. Portland has it in flower and extract.

Old school sativa flower
prayer student
Wake up and bake for a blessed day with an Irish breakfast and some prayer students. This Mass Medical Seeds cross of Star Pupil and Prayer Tower by Bodhi Seed delivers all-day sativa hybrid power with medium THC levels. We see prayer pupils as carts in Boston, flowers in Cali, and dabs in Seattle. See also: all sativas for daytime energetic blending. Quick Fact: St Patrick’s Day is a global Irish Heritage Day honoring the Roman-era Christian patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick, who converted many pagan Irish people.

Party size pre-rolls, big and small
Terphogz Pre-Rolls
Americans will spend about $5.7 billion to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, and it’s hard to find a better party format than the pre-roll. No grinding, paper, or licking required – pre-rolls are pre-rolled joints, and every joint has them. Find pre-rolls for sale near you.
In California this winter, we recommend the Emerald Triangle-based Terphogz Five-Packs; as well as the pre-rolls of the brands 7 Leaves or Connected. Last weekend we tried a little too hard with the diamond studded heavy hitter Jealousy Roll, but it was worth it. Another fun fact: Ireland is known as the Emerald Isle because it’s so green. The heartland of cannabis-growing regions in America is now known as “The Emerald Triangle” in part because it is so green with cannabis.
Special tip: dog walkers
Keep an eye out for little pubs, dubbed “dogwalkers” because they’re just small enough to last a block walk. They tend to come in packs, so instead of five people sharing a wet joint, everyone gets their Mini-J. In California, the small brand has a new, fortified line called Lime. 2022 is all about “infused” pre-rolls—that come with added potency and flavor. See also: Pacific Stone Minis and Juniper.
Edible THC alternatives to Hooch
Kiva Camino citrus breeze
Many people return to alcohol after two years of self-entertaining on the couch. Kiva Camino gummies rule California and have pushed into the acidic phase with a line of effect-specific sours. They’re only 5 mg per sauce, so don’t overdo it. Taking THC before drinking alcohol can decrease the total amount of alcohol consumed. Conversely, ingesting THC after too much alcohol will cause the room to spin. Browse local THC gummies for sale on Leafly.
CANN Ginger Lemongrass
A new generation of would-be alcohol lovers are trying THC drinks instead — like CANN’s Ginger Lemongrass. Each can of CANN contains a microdose of 2mg of THC and 4mg of CBD for a social, uplifting, and controlled high. Swap the green beer for this green drink with only 35 calories and 4 clean ingredients. Every state has its own hit THC microdose drinks. Check out legal THC drinks available near you on Leafly.

Infused bar snacks
Fiery Hot Cheese Cruncher by Tsumo Snack
Savory cannabis snacks solve and complicate the craving problem. We’re talking ranch-flavored THC pretzels in Seattle; infused kettle corn in Portland; or Irie potato chips in Detroit. In California, we like Tsumo Snack’s Fiery Hot Cheese Crunchers. With a manageable 10mg of THC per sachet, it’s super shareable and fun. St. Patrick’s Day at the bar is a time for celebration – and these microdose bags of hot crunch taste great and complement any party. Check out THC snacks on local menus on Leafly.
remedy for hangover
Level+ PROTAB hangover
Oops you did it again. That bucket of whiskey seemed like a good idea back then, and yet here we are. Add some water and two Level+ brand PROTABs to the Hangover formulation. Each pill contains a blend of pain and inflammation relieving cannabinoids with some mood-boosting THC to help fight the crumbs. These are THCA, CBD, CBG, Delta-8 THC, and regular THC. PROTABS are easier for a sore throat than a bong load, with body-centric pain relief. Level+ is a California brand, but every legal state has brands that press pills. Browse THC tablets for sale in any legal US city.
