Happy Green Wednesday! A Brief History & This Year’s Top Picks

This new holiday has risen in popularity since its beginnings less than a decade ago. Nestled right before Thanksgiving each year, Green Wednesday provides the perfect opportunity for you to celebrate with cannabis, thanks to the sales that abound during this sweet time of year.

What Is Green Wednesday?

It is thought that this holiday started in 2016 when cannabis companies began to notice a consistent increase in their sales just before Thanksgiving each year. Retailers across the country considered it much more than a coincidence, attributing their annual pattern to consumers’ shared desire to stock up on their favorite products before the Thanksgiving holiday and long weekend. ^[1]

Green Wednesday is special for many reasons – most especially because it’s a grassroots holiday that organically originated from the cannabis community.

Faithful consumers (just like you!) started to unofficially celebrate the days surrounding Thanksgiving through the intentional use of cannabis, and now major companies are celebrating, too.

In the years since 2016, Green Wednesday has become more popular and widely-known, with more and more dispensaries embracing the opportunity to offer discounts in its honor each November. Many consider it to be the Black Friday or Cyber Monday of the cannabis world. It’s now the second biggest cannabis holiday after 420, which is celebrated each year on April 20. ^[2]

Why Does It Matter to You?

Especially in states where cannabis is legal, like Massachusetts, many companies have created sweet deals to encourage sales around Green Wednesday, ensuring that consumers have everything they need for easeful and happy holidays. Garden Remedies is glad to participate with a number of special deals this season.

This year, you have the opportunity to participate in a holiday centered on reciprocity: the reciprocal relationship between cannabis consumers and the companies who serve them. Almost a decade ago, retailers observed a trend and then began to solidify it through seasonal offers. Green Wednesday deals help consumers by reinforcing the desire to shop for cannabis during the holiday season – and consumers’ shopping, in turn, benefits all of the companies that sell good cannabis. Enjoy Green Wednesday on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving: this year on November 27, 2024.

Cannabis: The Perfect Complement to Your Thanksgiving Festivities

You probably already know why cannabis and Thanksgiving are a match made in (green) heaven. As you decide which featured products will go well with your holiday plans this year, you’ve been imagining the benefits brought by your pre-roll, vape, or edible of choice.

Among the countless reasons why you (and your friends and family) might like to celebrate Green Wednesday together on Thanksgiving, these are some of our favorites:

• Less Stress & More Relaxation: Whatever your Thanksgiving brings – whether it’s a highly-structured day with family or a pretty average Thursday – chances are you’re looking to kick back and chill out. Cannabis can help you enjoy your day away from work and usual responsibilities by promoting a lasting sense of effortless ease, both physically and mentally.


• Heightened Appetite: Some strains of cannabis increase appetite while decreasing nausea, making them great for big meals like Thanksgiving dinner. ^[3]


• Enhanced Sociability: Other strains create bubbly buoyancy, like a deep and sudden desire to meaningfully connect with other people. This effect may be just what you need to enjoy conversations with family. You may find yourself bringing super creative topics to the table.


• Boosted Mood: Family football, a community run, games, sports, and more – there’s plenty to enjoy each Thanksgiving depending on your traditions. A lifted mood (especially thanks to strains with cerebral effects) will help you out in any case, even if you’re spending the day relaxing by yourself at home.


• Shared Experience: Why not share the love with friends and family members who are over 21 years old? This Thanksgiving may be your chance to connect through cannabis. Your family may benefit from learning about the safe and intentional ways you use cannabis to manage pain while expanding creatively and relaxing deeply. Enjoying cannabis in good company can create cherished memories that will have everyone looking forward to the next Green Wednesday.
