Thanksgiving can be stressful. But you have other options than to take a puff in the car and share that smoky flavor with your family. Instead, spread THC-infused butter on buns.
Also, if a big family reunion isn’t the way you roll and a Friendsgiving or Danksgiving potluck the following Sunday is more your vibe, consider bringing some tetrahydrocannabinol sauce for that fried turkey and mashes. You will surely hit a high note by toasting and thanking your buds.
However you celebrate this week, we’ve got you covered with a list of cannabis treats – plus some hemp and CBD treats.
Do you like to start the day with appetizers or charcuterie boards? If so, spread some cream cheese on Treaties, a crunchy THC-infused snack made with kale, lemon, red pepper and spices. Each chip contains approximately 10 milligrams of THC. Packets contain 10 tokens and cost $12. Pick up a bag of Treatos at Arizona Organix in Glendale.
While Arizona Organixyou can buy THC-infused popcorn, pretzels, or pecans for your couch-locked guests to snack on while watching parades or professional sports.
If your friends or family members are looking for the benefits of the magic plant but don’t want the psychoactive effect that comes with it, you can serve CBD-infused edibles from hemp, which contains no more than 0, 3% THC.

OMG Goudness’s Hemp Spicy Cauliflower Mix, a mixture of cauliflower, cucumbers, peppers and spices, is a tasty snack or side dish. Each pot is made right here in the valley and sells for $30. OMG Goudness also offers hemp-infused products Peanut Butter which can be used to make peanut turkey satay or peanut sauce for lettuce wrap appetizers.
Hempful Farms Hemp Honey contains 300 milligrams of CBD per jar. Glaze your favorite snacks, such as Chex cereal and nuts, with honey, and be sure to save some for glazing ham and cookies, too.
Mint Cafe, which is tucked away in the 12,000 square foot Mint Cannabis dispensary in Guadalupe, offers a variety of marijuana-infused Thanksgiving supplements, side dishes and desserts. Pick up a 16-ounce package of THC-infused cranberry sauce, garlic herb butter, or gravy for the perfect finish to your Thanksgiving plate. Each packet contains 100 milligrams of THC and costs $15.
The cafe also makes a cornbread sheet that spreads 100 milligrams of THC over an 8-inch square tray. It will easily serve four people.
If you can’t make it to the cafe – we all know how hectic “Green Wednesday” can be – you can order infused food and some pre-rolled blunts through the dispensary’s website or app. With any $50 purchase, Mint is offering free shipping within a 10-mile radius of the store near Baseline Road and Priest Drive.
All food and condiments are cooked in plain sight in the kitchen of the Mint Cafe, behind a large glass and wood partition near the showroom. So while you’re queuing to buy meds, paraphernalia or swag, you can see how the cannabis chefs cook first-hand.. Mint Cafe’s Thanksgiving Day menu items are available in limited batches, and although the dispensary is open on Thanksgiving Day, the store suggests picking up the THC-infused sides ahead of the holiday.
Pumpkin and pecan infused pies, each measuring approximately 5 inches in diameter, will be available at Mint Dispensary Locations around the valley.
To Lez Get Baked bakery in Mesa, owner Kaleigh Marks takes orders for pumpkin spice muffins. Here, customers can order treats without infusion, with THC or with hemp-based nano CBD. Customers must supply their own cannabis which Marks will process into beautiful baked goods.
“The advantage of supplying your own cannabis is that you know exactly what grade of weed you’re using and whether it’s a sativa, indica, or hybrid,” says Marks.
The skilled baker recently crafted an infused cake perfect for a canna-friendly Friendsgiving party. It looked like a ginormous blunt with green colored pistachios mimicking marijuana buds. Marks is only taking special orders at the moment and she suggests Valley residents place their orders as early as possible before the holidays.
Toasts are commonplace at Thanksgiving, and some cannabis users don’t like to mix alcohol with weed. So whether it’s a fine crystal celebration or red plastic cups, you can be grateful for non-alcoholic THC-infused beverages.
Keef Classic Sodas are THC-infused sodas in thirst-quenching flavors such as Original Cola, Bubba Kush Root Beer, Orange Kush, Blue Razz, Purple Passion, and Mr. Puffer. While recreational Keef Classics contain 10 milligrams of THC, medical Keef Classics are more potent. You can find these soft drinks at various dispensaries in the valley, starting at $6 a pop.
For those who prefer to grill their turkey with a glass of vino, Phoenix-based Sweet Dreams Vineyard, which won Best Local Cannabis Beverages in our Best of Phoenix 2022, produces a non-alcoholic wine infused with THC. Cannabernet is a bold sip of red wine. It is available in a 770 milliliter bottle containing 100 milligrams of THC for $38 and a smaller 210 milliliter bottle for $18.
“We really hope to create a cannabis revolution here in Arizona,” Sweet Dreams Vineyard founder Bill Gibbs said in a prepared statement.
People who want to keep the party going afterwards will love Sweet Dreams Marijuarita. The wine version of a classic margarita replaces the alcohol with 100 milligrams of THC. Like Cannabernet, this mocktail is available in 770 milliliter and 210 milliliter bottles.
The Mint Cafe offers a cranberry-flavored Happy Hour drink with 75 milligrams of THC and 25 milligrams of CBD, which means it has the best of both worlds. The carbonated and tangy energy drink retails for $16 a can.
So, now that we have a full plate of snacks and a turkey dinner on the way, let’s raise our glasses and toast to a weed-infused Thanksgiving.
