How to Replace Alcohol with Weed

Participating in Dry January? Come explore some ways to replace alcohol with weed products from Green Dragon.

Who says you need to drink alcohol to have a good time?

Since the beginning of time, humans’ shared focus has consistently been on seeking enjoyment and recreation.

Whether we turn to drinks for amusement, palate cleansing, or to navigate the existential challenges of going about daily life, alcoholic beverages have played a pivotal role in cultures worldwide for centuries.

However, the cultivation of cannabis has also been an enduring human practice and has become more common in social settings. If historical legal debates had led to different decisions on the prohibition of certain pleasures, it’s quite conceivable that weed would now be an addition on American bar carts.

As we expand our search for relaxation and a break from the daily routine, a golden opportunity arises to venture beyond the beloved domain of alcoholic beverages.

Similar to the diverse array of drinks suited for various occasions, the realm of marijuana offers choices for everyone and every moment. This is particularly encouraging for the many individuals who opt out of alcohol but still desire social connections. Keeping this in mind, here are a few suggestions to kickstart your exploration of replacing alcohol with marijuana, customized to align with your unique preferences.

1. Rejuvenate with a clementine-flavored vape pen as an alternative to a Tequila Sunrise!

Imagine this: you’re soaking up the sun, craving a moment of relaxation and refreshment. Traditionally, such moments are linked with a specific choice—like with an uplifting Tequila Sunrise, for example. Enter the cannabis equivalent of the classic Tequila Sunrise experience: a disposable vape pen with a delightful, vibrant orange flavor. Each puff guarantees a refreshing and potent burst of tropical sweetness.

2. Take it easy with THC gummies instead of beer

Appreciating moderation is a positive aspect of beer, courtesy of its relatively low alcohol content. Whether you prefer a laid-back sip from a can or a more spirited, upside-down chug from a keg, the extent of your indulgence is entirely your call. Enter THC edibles gummies, each featuring a modest 10mg of THC. If you find yourself socializing at a bar with friends, these gummies provide the flexibility to ease into the experience at your own pace. If you want to ease into your night out, microdose by cutting a gummy into halves or quarters.

3. Elevte the party with a Sativa vape cartridge instead of shots

There's a compelling case for the allure of shots: quick intoxication and fewer calories compared to an equivalent number of cocktails. However, shots come with their drawbacks, leading many to avoid a particular type of alcohol. The Sativa vape cartridge encapsulates the positive aspects of taking shots, delivering rapid and uplifting effects without the need to fill your stomach—mirroring the desirable elements of the shot experience.

4. Turn Wine Wednesday into Weed Wednesday with Prerolls.

Wine enthusiasts take pleasure in uncovering the nuanced essences and flavors infused in their wine glass, engaging in the ritual of swirling and sniffing until the mysteries of the wine unfold. Similarly, marijuana, with its diverse strains, follows a comparable approach, and the most effective exploration of a strain's unique traits often occurs in its original flower form. Much like a wine tasting, indulging in a preroll initiates a sensory adventure, with each puff providing a sensation reminiscent of a delightful sip of crisp wine.

Whether you stopped drinking alcohol all together or you're simply on the lookout for alternatives to your usual evening cocktail, this is an exciting moment to delve into diverse ways of replacing wine with weed (and other alcohols, of course). Moreover, prioritizing a reduction in alcohol consumption holds positive implications for overall well-being. Given the numerous parallels in the world of marijuana, the transition towards healthier habits becomes a seamless and enjoyable journey.
