Hi Missouri, we made it! Summer’s officially here.
So! We rounded up a few things to help you kick off the season, local Key events, summer weed recs for gatherings that are also easy fun ways to share our favorite plant with beginner friends and elders (AZ and IL, your summer guides are coming soon!).
High-ho, let’s go 🍃
Beginner-friendly treats: Campfire s’mores and floats to make you float
If you’re looking for some fun (stoney) twists on summer treats or to ease a curious beginner into weed, we recommend going edible-adjacent.
Infused chocolates (like Panda) are perfect for campfire s’mores. Just keep the infused stuff separate from the regular chocolate, so your folks can choose their own adventure and not have an accidental trip.
And if you’re a root beer float family… consider also adding weed! Infused floats are a nice way to cool off without turning into a puddle – or to become one with a puddle, whatever your vibe is.
Brands like Keef and Mary Jones make cannabis sodas in classic flavors—cola, root beer, orange—all excellent over vanilla ice cream. Drinks also hit faster than traditional edibles, so they’re great for social settings where you want to feel it without the wait.
Try Keef 10mg cans for beginners. They’re low-dose and easy to sip slow.
Shareable Stuff for Smokers
Pack for the group:
If you’re headed to a picnic, campfire, any group thing, pinpacks (a whole box of pre-rolls) will make things easy to pass and won’t need a whole tutorial. They’re good for sharing and trying out new strains. Min-E bar vapes are also a great option – cute and small, passable with no buttons, batteries or instructions to mess with.
High potency highlights
Be the hero at the function and introduce the party to their new favorite strain. This summer we’re starting with Mac & Cheese and Grapefruit Durban (disclosure, we are 100% biased on these but we grow good weed and we’re proud of it!). Mac & Cheese can help you feel present, mentally relaxed but uplifted, and Grapefruit Durban is one of our best sellers for its energizing effect—without spooky racing thoughts.
Stay high and hydrated out there.
