Ate One (8/1): The Edible Lover's Holiday You Didn't Know You Needed
If you love cannabis edibles, you’re going to be obsessed with Ate One, celebrated every year on August 1st (8/1). This unofficial holiday is all about indulging in your favorite infused treats, from gummies and brownies to chocolates and drinks. Cannabis consumers across the country are recognizing 8/1 as the perfect excuse to stock up on edibles, try new products, and celebrate how far cannabis culture has come. Whether you’re a seasoned THC edible fan or just curious about low-dose options, Ate One is the best time to enjoy all things infused.
What is ate one and where did it come from?
The name Ate One is a fun play on the date 8/1, which sounds like “ate one.” Get it!? It’s a nod to cannabis edibles and the moment you ate one and started the ride. While it started as an internet joke in cannabis circles, the concept caught on quickly. Now, edibles lovers everywhere recognize August 1st as a day to celebrate their favorite way to consume cannabis.
Unlike 420 or 710, which focus more on smoking and dabbing, Ate One is completely about eating your cannabis. It’s a celebration of how delicious and create the cannabis edible scene has become, from handcrafted gourmet chocolates to fast-acting nano gummies. If you’ve ever popped a gummy and waited for the magic to kick in, this is your holiday.
How to Celebrate Ate One
There’s no official playbook for celebrating Ate One, which is exactly what makes it so fun. Whether you’re vibing solo or hanging with friends, the goal is simple: eat one (or a few), and enjoy.
Here are some easy ways to celebrate:
- Try a new edible you’ve never had before, like an infused soda or cannabis butter
- Have an edible tasting night with different doses, flavors, or brands
- Bake your own edibles if you’re feeling creative in the kitchen
- Pair your edible with a cozy movie night or outdoor picnic
- Document your edible experience with a chill journaling session or video diary
what to look for in edibles
Not all edibles are created equal, which is why it’s important to find the right type and dose for your vibe. At NatureMed, we carry a wide variety of THC edibles including:
- Low-dose gummies for beginners or daytime microdosing
- High-dosed baked goods for a long-lasting full-body high
- Fast-acting drinks for those who want quicker effects
- Chocolates and caramels that taste amazing and hit smooth
When shopping for edibles, always check the THC and CBD content, onset time, and serving size. Whether you prefer to feel mellow and floaty or just want to giggle through your group chat, there’s an edible for every type of high.
why ate one matters
Edibles have come a long way from the mystery brownies of the past. Today’s products are lab-tested, consistent, and way more delicious than they used to be. Ate one is a chance to celebrate how far edibles have evolved, support your favorite local brands, and share your love for cannabis in a fun, food-focused way.
It’s also a great time to learn more about your personal tolerance, explore different effects from various strains in edible form, and see how cannabis fits into your lifestyle in a totally new way.
