The holiday season brings joy and the family together but can also be the most stressful time of the year. Holidays can cause stress and anxiety to spike, which leads to an unhappy holiday. Medical Cannabis can help ease that stress and anxiety, but there are etiquettes to follow when visiting others’ homes to keep your host happy!
Here are some tips to help you get through the holidays while using your medical card!
- Ask Your Host Before Bringing Cannabis into Their House or Event
Always ask your host before bringing medical marijuana to the event or party. Despite using cannabis for medical use, there may be guests that do not feel as comfortable. Asking your host before bringing helps create a stress-free environment and leads to no miscommunications.
- Stick to Designated Areas
After getting permission from your host to bring cannabis, check if they have a preference or designated area for you to use or smoke medical marijuana. If there is a designated area assigned, stick to that area.
- Never Assume It’s Okay to Smoke Inside Someone’s Home
Smoking or vaping marijuana inside someone’s private home can lead to problems. Always ask before smoking can fill the room and make other guests unhappy. If there is an assigned area, only use medical cannabis there.
- Check Your Setting
Ensure an ashtray on hand and ensure that you put your joint out fully. Double-check that this is fully extinguished, especially in a dry area, older home, or near any holiday decorations. Always stay vigilant about this.
- Leave Nothing Behind
Never leave anything behind, as the host typically has enough to clean up after an event. Check to ensure you’ve cleaned up or thrown out any crumbs, vape buds, or filters from your medical marijuana use.
- Keep it Private
Cover your basis whenever you go out. Pack a bag or box to keep cannabis and accessories in. Always keep this out of reach for children and pets to ensure everyone has a happy and safe holiday.
Have a Happy Holiday!
