Green Wednesday is here, and for those of us who indulge, you’re well aware of what the day signifies, but no worries if you don’t, as we’ll educate you. For this year’s Green Wednesday, we have a handful of goods and deals worth checking out, so that “cousin walk” will be a bit more interesting than usual.

With the legality of hemp-derived THC and cannabis products facing a potential industry-shifting ban, there is a bit of a cloud hanging over the business. Sure, there were plenty of bad actors who exploited the Farm Bill loophole and got products out without any of the regulations necessary to ensure quality and safety. But there are plenty of reputable companies in the space that test their products before pushing them out to the masses.

I personally enjoy THC products, whether hemp-derived or not, and just as I would say for someone who wishes to enjoy alcohol, you should carefully indulge in any product that can produce potential physical effects. Now, enough with my preaching about cannabis use and safety, let’s get on with it.

Below, we’ll share a brief explainer of Green Wednesday from Weedmaps, one of my favorite ways to find the products I need on the legal market.

From Weedmaps:

Dubbed the Black Friday of cannabis, Green Wednesday is thought to have started in 2017 when a cannabis delivery company noted the drastic rise in cannabis sales the day before Thanksgiving. While the holiday season typically sees a significant uptick in sales, this particular Wednesday draws people to their local retailers in droves, and for good reason.

We’ll also share delivery services and other brands that ship products nationwide. As always, if you decide to purchase any of the products we’re featuring, do so responsibly and obey the laws of your respective states. This stuff is made for folks over the age of 21. Not every brand below has a special going on, and I only included folks that either pitched me, or I remembered to include, so sift through the links to see what’s what.

Happy Green Wednesday and Happy “Danksgiving” to boot.
