Cannabis-Infused Valentine's Day

Cannabis-Infused Valentine's Day  

The Ultimate Gift Guide to Treat Yourself

As Cupid readies his bow this Valentine's Day, there's a new arrow in his quiver that's capturing hearts across America: cannabis. Yes, it seems love is getting a little greener, and we're not just talking about eco-friendly gifts. A recent study by Wired Research reveals a blossoming romance between cannabis and Valentine's Day celebrations. The survey, conducted with 961 Americans uncovers some eye-opening trends that are redefining traditional notions of love and romance. 

Let's talk numbers: a heart-fluttering 19 million American adults are ditching the champagne flutes in favor of cannabis this Valentine's Day. And it's not just about swapping bubbly for buds; nearly 1 in 4 adults in the U.S. believe that cannabis kindles more than just the fireplace – it lights up their intimate performance too. This trend isn't just limited to one gender. While 66% of men are weaving cannabis into their Valentine’s Day plans, women aren't far behind at 57%. 

Interestingly, love for cannabis on Valentine's Day blooms more in certain regions, with 66% of adults in the Northeast planning to use or gift cannabis. This contrasts with 55% in the Midwest, 61% in the West, and 63% in the South. This regional difference might stem from somewhat recent legalizations of recreational cannabis in Northeastern states like Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. 

So, as we step into a season where red roses meet green leaves, let's explore how this budding relationship between cannabis and Valentine's Day is not just rekindling old flames but also igniting new passions in the world of romance. Whether it's a night of intimate connection or a solo celebration of self-love, cannabis is here to elevate the experience, one blissful moment at a time.

​​Creative Cannabis Recipes: Valentine's Day Treats 

Valentine's Day is the perfect opportunity to express your love and affection, not just through words but through the art of cooking as well. This year, add a twist to your celebration with a cannabis-infused recipe that's sure to delight. Try the simple but special treat using 1:1 Incredibles chocolate (THC:CBD), blending the rich, indulgent flavors of chocolate with the balanced effects of THC and CBD for a dessert that's both delicious and gently uplifting. 

Cannabis-Infused Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries 

Ingredients: 

• 1 pack of 1:1 Incredibles Chocolate (THC:CBD), gently melted 
• 1 pint fresh strawberries, washed and dried 
• Optional toppings: Crushed nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt 

Instructions: 

• Prepare Your Workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will be where you set your chocolate-dipped strawberries to cool. 
• Melt the Chocolate: Break the 1:1 Incredibles Chocolate into smaller pieces and melt slowly. You can use a double boiler method by placing the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Alternatively, melt it in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. 
• Dip the Strawberries: Hold a strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, twisting it slightly to let the excess chocolate drip off. If you don't have stems, you can use a toothpick or fork to dip the strawberries. 
• Add Toppings: After dipping each strawberry in the chocolate, you may roll them in crushed nuts, sprinkles, or a pinch of sea salt for an extra flavor dimension. Do this before the chocolate sets. 
• Set to Cool: Place the chocolate-dipped strawberries on the prepared baking sheet. Once all strawberries are dipped and decorated, set the tray in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely hardened. 
• Serving: Serve these decadent treats on a platter or as a sweet finale to your Valentine's Day meal. Remember, the 1:1 ratio of THC to CBD in the chocolate ensures a balanced effect, making these treats perfect for a romantic and relaxed evening. 

​​"Dosage Reminder: Keep in mind the total THC and CBD content in your pack of Incredibles Chocolate and calculate the dosage per strawberry accordingly. It's always best to start with a lower dose, especially if you or your partner are new to cannabis edibles. Enjoy responsibly and let the sweet, soothing effects enhance your Valentine's Day celebration."

These cannabis-infused chocolate-dipped strawberries are not only a testament to your culinary creativity but also a unique way to incorporate the gentle, harmonious effects of THC and CBD into your Valentine's Day festivities. Enjoy this delightful, easy-to-make dessert as you celebrate love, in all its forms, this Valentine's Day.
