WHAT STRAINS PAIR BEST WITH EASTER DINNER (Indica, Sativa, Hybrid)
If you’re celebrating Easter with a big family meal or keeping things more casual, the right pairing can elevate your experience.
INDICA STRAINS – Violet Vixen, Granddaddy Purple, Northern Lights, Bubba Kush, Purple Kush
Indica strains are known for their relaxing, calming, and sedative effects. They can promote sleepiness and muscle relaxation, making them perfect for enjoying after a hearty meal or as part of a laid-back feast.
Food Pairings:
- Roast Lamb with Garlic & Herbs – The rich, savory flavors of lamb pair wonderfully with indica strains, which can help mellow out the heaviness of the dish.
- Mashed Potatoes – Creamy mashed potatoes, especially with butter or garlic, offer comfort and balance well with the soothing effects of indica.
- Mac and Cheese – The rich, cheesy comfort food pairs perfectly with indica’s relaxing qualities.
- Chocolate Desserts – Indicas often intensify sweet flavors, so chocolate-based desserts like brownies or a chocolate mousse would be especially delightful. A dark chocolate fondue could be a perfect post-dinner treat.
Drinks To Pair:
- Red wine (such as Cabernet Sauvignon)
- Warm, comforting herbal teas (like chamomile or mint)
SATIVA STRAINS – Green Crack, Super Lemon Haze, Durban Poison, Strawberry Cough, Jack Herer For an Easter dinner, you’ll want sativa strains that enhance socializing, uplift the mood, and complement the flavors of the meal.

- Fresh Spring Salad – A refreshing salad with mixed greens, citrus fruits, nuts, and light dressing can match the invigorating and refreshing vibes of sativa.
- Grilled Vegetables – Light, grilled veggies like asparagus, peppers, or zucchini bring out the zesty, fresh flavors that pair well with the stimulating effects of sativa.
- Lemon Tart or Key Lime Pie – Citrusy desserts enhance the uplifting effects of sativa, making them a perfect pairing for a bright, invigorating high.
Drinks To Pair:
- White wine (like Sauvignon Blanc)
- Sparkling water with a citrus twist
HYBRID STRAINS – Hybrid strains offer a balanced experience, making them great for Easter dinner. Here are some excellent pairings:
Balanced Hybrids:
- Blue Dream – Sweet berry flavors that enhance fruit-based dishes, honey-glazed ham, and desserts like carrot cake.

A 4/20 Easter Egg Hunt ( ADULTS ONLY)!!
Let’s take the classic egg hunt to a higher level-literally, upping the ante with a 4/20 twist for adults only??!! Colorful plastic eggs filled with “stoney” surprises like nugs, pre-rolled treats, mini edibles.,(where legal, of course). Also mix in some non-infused snacks ,because let’s be honest, no one wants to end up munchie-less. Probably should make 1 egg have a mini lighter, because we all know someone there is a lighter thief!
High Times, and Good Vibes
Why settle for just one kind of spiritual experience when you can have both? Easter traditionally celebrates renewal and hope, while 4/20 is all about relaxation and good vibes. Great comination i think., a holy day meets a high holiday! Holy High!! Light some incense (or something similar),throw on some good tunes, reflect on life’s miracles (like how good these Doritos taste), and just get lifted . Whether you’re celebrating the resurrection or just resurrecting your stash, it’s a day for everyone to feel blessed and blissed out. Enjoy a nice sesh with family and friends when the clock strikes 4:20 am or pm, dont really matter!
A Unified Theme: Peace and Joy
Peace, Pot and Happiness
As both Easter and 4/20 share themes of peace, and community. Easter brings people together in celebration, while 4/20 brings a community of like minded people and acceptance together in celebration on 4/20. So dont forget to Puff, Puff, Pass this Easter.
So, mark your calendars for April 20, 2025. Whether you’re celebrating Easter, 4/20, or both, it’s bound to be a day of happiness, red eyes, laughter, and maybe just a little extra nap time. Because let’s face it: after a morning egg hunt and an afternoon “session,” you’re going to need it.
Cannabis Culture: A High Time for Celebration
I’m so glad to be alive in a time where cannabis is legal and not such a social stigma anymore. We can now enjoy cannabis-themed holidays in the open without being labeled as “druggies. or fear of getting arrested” Most states have legalized cannabis in some form, whether medicinal or recreational. To those still fighting, hoping, and waiting for legalization in your state—hang tight! Your day will come, and when it does, the celebration will be that much sweeter.
