5 Ideas for a 4th of July Gathering
Posted: May 26th, 2023
The sun is strong and the beach is calling – summer is in the air. And is that a hint of cannabis wafting on the breeze? But we digress…
We’re bringing our sessions, shared meals, and even walking meetings outside. Do you know what goes great with open-air eating? You guessed it! Cannabis is a great way to enhance both the cooking and eating experience.
For the cooking part, THCV-rich strains are a great choice, thanks to THCV’s creativity-enhancing properties. And for eating, you can’t go wrong with the rest of the Garden Society lineup. If you need ideas for how to transport your food adventure outside, we’ve got you covered there, too!
Backyard BBQ
Every grillmaster has told you it’s officially the start of BBQ season, and there’s no better way to kick it off than with a casual cookout. We recommend picking a theme for inspiration. The one we’ve chosen below is all about latin vibes.
On the menu:
- Chimichurri Steak
- Elote (Grilled Mexican Street Corn)
- Ensalada de Aguacate y Tomate (Avocado & Tomato Salad)
- Brazilian Limeade
Cannabis pairing: The Backyard BBQ is all about energetic fun, which is why we suggest our delicious Kiwi Lime Sauvignon Blanc THCV gummies.
Picnic in the Park
What better way to enjoy the beautiful weather along with the company of friends and family than a picnic in the park? Plus, if you pick a spot with a playground, the kids can entertain themselves, while the adults kick back on the picnic blanket.
On the menu:
- Tomato, Basil & Artichoke Picnic Sandwich
- Tangy Lentil Salad with Dill & Pepperoncini
- Simple French-Style Potato Salad
- Herbal Arnold Palmer
Cannabis pairing: Microdosing is a great way to enjoy cannabis in a public setting, so you can enjoy the mood-boosting benefits but still keep your wits about you. Might we recommend our delectable Milk Chocolate with Chai cannabis edibles?
Garden Party

Dinner on the Deck
Dining al fresco doesn’t have to be a big to-do. If low-key is more your vibe, a simple dinner on the deck with your partner, roommate, or just yourself is a lovely way to spend an evening. And you can do it any day of the week with the weeknight-friendly menu below.
On the menu:
- Easy Roast Chicken (or buy a rotisserie one from the grocery store!)
- Lemon Garlic Asparagus Pasta
- White Wine Spritzer

Lunch on the Trail
Now is also the perfect time to hit up the trail for some hiking. For the adventurous sort, a longer hike is just the ticket – and you’ll need some provisions for the trail. Try these simple dishes that pack well.
On the menu:
Cannabis pairing: Pack up some of our Joyful & Present high-THCV pre-rolls to take advantage of THCV’s exercise-supporting potential.
