Tailgating is a cherished tradition, an opportunity to experience the vibrance, excitement, and camaraderie of the game even before kickoff.
Fans gather to celebrate their favorite teams, indulge in delicious food, and create lasting memories. As the aroma of fired grills fill the air and the excitement of the game builds, some enthusiasts have found creative ways to incorporate another element into their tailgating experience – cannabis.
While tailgating has long been associated with cracking a col one at 10 am, legal cannabis offers an opportunity to elevate your spirits and enjoy while not suffering the negative side effects of alcohol consumption through the day. Marijuana-infused edibles offer a unique twist to the classic game-day spread.
