Easy Cannabis-Themed Halloween Costume Ideas for Adults

Easy Cannabis-themed Halloween Costume Ideas for Adults

Halloween is the perfect time to embrace creativity and show off a love for cannabis culture without the need for complicated or expensive costumes. Whether preparing for a party or looking for something quick and fun, there’s not shortage of ways to get festive, stoner-style.

Michael Highers (“Halloween” Parody)

Dress up as the infamous Michael Myers, but swap the knife for a prop bong or a giant joint. Wear a blue jumpsuit and the signature mask, then accessorize with stoner details like a cloud-shaped “smoke” prop or a faux (or real) joint tucked behind the ear.

A mysterious figure in a hoodie and Guy Fawkes mask exhales a plume of smoke, perfect for a cannabis culture or hacker Halloween costume.

The Dank Doctor

Transform into the “Dank Doctor” with a white lab coat, a stethoscope, and a marijuana-leaf lapel pin or sticker. Accessorize with goofy glasses or a clipboard loaded with funny “prescriptions.” This playful costume is easy to throw together with household items and is always a conversation starter.

Harry Pothead

Go for a witty pun with this easy costume: a circular pair of glasses, scar face paint, and a wizard robe. Pair it with a bong, pipe, or pouch of faux “herb” and maybe a striped scarf in green tones to complete “house Slytherweed”.

Dab-o-Lantern

Fuse cannabis culture and Halloween by becoming a Dab-o-Lantern. Throw on an orange outfit, top with a green hat, and add a felt bong or dab rig shape to your shirt. Use face paint to mimic a carved pumpkin grin, then carry a prop dab tool for a clever finishing touch.

Person in a scary jack-o'-lantern costume surrounded by green and orange smoke, ideal for a spooky cannabis Halloween theme.

Joint Witch or Weed Wizard

Blend fantasy with cannabis by dressing as a witch or wizard, but tie in weed with a leafy cape, pot-leaf hat, and a sparkling “magic joint” staff. Add a pair of glasses and a book of “spells” listing punny weed strains or funny recipes for true stoner magic.

Ganja Mama (Mother Nature Remix)

Take Mother Nature and infuse her with weed energy. Weary flowy earth-toned clothing, add a flower or vine crown intertwined with faux cannabis leaves, and carry a staff wrapped in greenery. Embellish with leaf print makeup for a powerful, natural look that’s both whimsical and unmistakable!

High Spirits (Stoner Ghost)

Simply throw a white sheet over yourself and add felt cannabis leaves or draw little green smoke wisps. Use fabric paint to make your ghost “smiling” with red, bloodshot eyes and a faux joint in its “mouth.” Comfortable and a conversation-starter!

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

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.

What is 710? The Cannabis Holiday You Need to Know About

What is 710? The Cannabis Holiday You Need to Know About

If you’re into cannabis concentrates, you’ve probably already circled July 10 on your calendar. But if you’re thinking, “Wait… is that like 4/20’s cousin?” You’re not wrong! Welcome to 710, the holiday that celebrates all things oil, wax, shatter, live resin, live rosin and classic hash. It’s like 4/20, but specifically for hash heads. And yes, there’s a reason it’s called 710!

image of cannabis distillate syringe on the ground outside

How 710 Got Its Start

Unlike 4/20, which has roots going all the way back to the 1970s, 710 is a more modern addition to cannabis culture. It started popping up in online forums and among concentrate connoisseurs sometime around 2011. The first official 710 event is believed to have happened in California, where early extract artists and hashmakers were already refining their craft and building a cult following.

As concentrates became more accessible and mainstream, the holiday spread like a fresh dab on a hot nail. Now, 710 is an internationally recognized celebration of extraction artistry. Events, brand drops, and concentrate competitions happen coast to coast, with dispensaries (like us!) getting in on the fun by offering epic sales on oils, waxes, shatter, and vape carts.

Who Celebrates 710 and Why?

710 is for anyone who appreciates the art of cannabis concentrates. That means daily dabbers who love high-potency hits, vape pen fans who prefer a cleaner puff, and even the canna-curious who are just dipping their toes into the extract pool. If you’ve ever admired the glistening beauty of cured rosin or geeked out over terpene profiles, 710 is basically your version of New Year’s Eve.

It’s also a day that celebrates innovation in the industry. Extraction tech has come a long way. from sketchy homemade setups to sophisticated solventless labs producing premium full-spectrum products. Whether you’re using a handheld dab straw or a Bluetooth-enabled e-rig, you’re part of a constantly evolving community that’s pushing cannabis forward.

image of cannabis dab tool holding a dab of cannabis concentrate

How to Celebrate 710 (Without Going Too Hard)

The golden rule for any 710 sesh? Start low and go slow. Concentrates are potent by design (some clock in at 80 to 90 percent THC) so it’s totally okay to take baby dabs and savor the experience. A well-timed hit from a live resin cart or a flavorful terp-heavy dab can be just the thing to elevate your day without overdoing it.

Whether you’re kicking back solo or celebrating with your crew, the best way to enjoy 710 is with your favorite products and a chill vibe. Throw on a good playlist, crack open a cold drink, and treat it like the cannabis appreciation day it is. Bonus points if you support local by grabbing your goodies from your neighborhood dispensary.

Ready to Celebrate? NatureMed Has Your 710 Covered

We’re rolling out seriously fire deals this week to help you stock up for 710 without breaking the bank. Whether you’re looking for concentrates, vapes, or dabbing essentials, we’ve got you covered.

Head over to our daily deals page to see what’s on special and plan your sesh like a pro.

Everything You Need to Know About Resin, Rosin, and Distillate

Everything You Need to Know About Resin, Rosin, and Distillate

July 10th (aka 7/10) is almost here, and if you flip those numbers upside down, you’ll see why we’re celebrating. Yep, it spells “OIL,” and this unofficial holiday is all about honoring the potent, flavorful world of cannabis concentrates. From resin to rosin to distillate and everything in between, we’re breaking down what makes each of these extracts unique, and helping you find the one that fits your vibe.

Live Resin vs Cured Resin: Let’s Talk Terps

Live resin and cured resin are both hydrocarbon extracts, which means they’re made using solvents (usually butane or propane) to pull cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant. The key difference? Live resin is made from fresh-frozen cannabis, while cured resin uses flower that’s been dried and cured. Live resin tends to have bolder, more vibrant flavor profiles because freezing the plant right after harvest helps preserve those delicate terpenes. Cured resin still packs a punch but usually leans more on potency than flavor.

Rosin: The Solventless Sweetheart

If you’re into a clean, solvent-free experience, rosin might be your go-to. Rosin is made by applying heat and pressure to flower, kief, or hash to “squish” out the oil, no solvents needed. Live rosin (which comes from fresh-frozen material) is the premium version. It’s super flavorful and smooth. Regular hash rosin or flower rosin might be a little less intense on flavor, but still offers a clean, terp-heavy high. Rosin is a favorite among purists who want full-spectrum effects without any added chemicals.

Distillate: Pure Potency, No Frills

Distillate is a super refined cannabis extract that strips away almost everything except THC (or CBD, depending on the goal). It’s not known for flavor or aroma, but it’s great for getting high without the extra fluff. That’s why distillate is the go-to for edibles, vape cartridges, and anyone who just wants a strong and straightforward hit. If you want max potency with minimal taste or smell, distillate’s your best friend.

Badder, Budder, and Sugar: Texture Talk

Now let’s get into the fun textures. These are usually hydrocarbon extracts like resin, but whipped or processed in a way that changes the consistency. Badder and budder are creamy, almost like cake frosting, and super easy to dab. Sugar looks like wet brown sugar, with a mix of THCa crystals and terp sauce. They’re all about the balance of flavor and potency, and if you love dabbing or loading your vape with something that smells amazing, these are it.

Diamonds and Sauce: High-End Dabs

You’ve probably seen those chunky, glistening THCa diamonds floating in amber sauce. This is the fancy stuff. Diamonds are pure THCa crystals (which convert to THC when heated), and the sauce is loaded with terpenes. Together, they give you a super flavorful, hard-hitting experience. Some blends are heavier on diamonds, others have more sauce. It’s really about what kind of high you’re chasing.

How to Pick What’s Right for You

If you’re new to concentrates, all these options might feel overwhelming. Think about what matters most: flavor, strength, smoothness, or how it was made. Want full flavor and a clean, solventless hit? Try live rosin. Need something affordable and effective for your pen? Distillate carts are a good entry point. Love tasting every terp? Grab some live resin sugar or budder. It’s okay to experiment until you find your fave.

We’ve got all your favorite concentrates in-store this week and just in time for 7/10.
