Cannabis vs. Liquor

More and more people are choosing to skip the booze and lean into cali-sober Halloween. Just as fun (more fun, IMHO) without the nasty hangover the next day. With delicious THC drinks and gummies, you still get that social buzz without the next-day crash. Whether you’re planning a chill Halloween kickback, or hosting friends for a night of cannabis-themed party activities and treats, there’s plenty of ways to make it festive without alcohol.

So you’re ready to throw a party… or maybe not, which is why you’re here. Let’s fix that.

First things first: where’s the hangout happening?

Choosing the right location sets the tone for the night. Take some time to set the scene for whatever type of night you’re looking to have (and how much time you want to spend setting up and taking down everything).

Here’s a few of our favorite spooky setups:

Scary Movie Marathon: This party calls for a snack buffet, comfy seating, and dim lighting. Have a good mix of campy, funny and truly frightening movie options–majority rules the pick. Cuddle up buttercup, it’s time to get scared.

Dance till You Drop: Where we’re going, we’re gonna need a DJ. You know one, right? Pop up a disco skull, string up some lights, and spin some haunted tunes. It’s time to get down. Stock plenty of beverages & snacks to keep the mood lifted, this party always ends in the kitchen.

Haunted House: For the brave of heart (and dramatic crew) turn your space into a full-on fright fest with each room decked out with Halloween decorations. Make it fun with color themes – LED lights are your new best friend. End the night with a costume contest with sashes of honor.

Hosting Tips To Keep The Party Fun and Safe

Here’s some tips to make sure you and your fellow party-goers have a smashing time, sans the BS:

With a little planning, the right THC treats, and some ground rules, your sober-ish Halloween party can be just as fun and less messy than the typical night out.

Keep it chill, serve responsibly, and make sure everyone has a chance to pace themselves. Grab your gummies, crack a drink, and saddle up for a night of spooky fun – without the hangover.
