What is Green Wednesday?

There remains debate as to why cannabis sales peak right before Thanksgiving. However, we have a few guesses:

• Holiday Stock-Up – Since most dispensaries close for the Thanksgiving weekend, it’s in a cannabis enthusiast’s interest to have enough supply for the next few days.
• Holiday Stress – While we’re supposed to give thanks during this holiday season, family get-togethers also create a lot of drama and anxiety. According to a 2022 survey, 24% of participants consume cannabis throughout the holidays to enjoy them more.
• Cannabis Acceptance – As more states legalize, more people accept that cannabis is here to stay. Most surveys now find that two-thirds of Americans support recreational legalization.

Okay. We understand if your emails are already jammed. But hear us out. If a dispensary has a sale for Green Wednesday, their newsletter subscribers will be the first to know.

In other words, this is a great way to get ahead of the line and ensure you secure your holiday bag. Furthermore, through a newsletter or loyalty program, you’ll be the first to know about promotions happening year-round.

When people first hear about Green Wednesday, they assume it’s a one-day bargain experience. However, most dispensaries recognize this holiday’s popularity and promote deals all week.

Again, if you’re signed up for a newsletter or loyalty program, you’ll be the first to know about these. Still, if you’re not part of a program, it may benefit you to stop by your local dispensary that Monday or Tuesday.

Let’s be honest, our holidays are already jam-packed with activities. The last thing we need is to wait in line at a cannabis dispensary just to get our weekly relief.

The best way to avoid this headache is by ordering online for pickup in-store or delivery.

Admittedly, these options vary depending on your state’s regulation (i.e. some states don’t allow cannabis deliveries). However, this is the best way to secure a product before it sells out.
