3 Cannabis Infused Cocktail Recipes For Your July 4th Weekend!

Did you know, in 1778, two years after the Declaration of Independence was signed, George Washington, then commander of the Continental Army, celebrated the day by issuing double rations of rum to his soldiers and organizing an artillery salute? This gesture underscored the significance of the day even amidst the ongoing Revolutionary War, highlighting the common practice of providing alcoholic rations to troops during that era. Maybe if George Washington were alive today, he'd offer his troops some high quality cannabis instead! Considering the modern recognition of its benefits for relaxation and stress relief.

When pairing cannabis and liquor or any alcohol for that matter, there are some considerations. Most importantly, only pair the two when you can do so responsibly and safely. Never drive under the influence!
