Celebrating Halloween with a Cannabis Twist

High Spirits: Celebrating Halloween with a Cannabis Twist

Written By: Leah Alabre

As the leaves fall and the spooky season creeps in, Halloween offers a perfect opportunity to get creative, dress up, indulge in sweet treats — and for many adults, enjoy a little cannabis-infused fun. Whether you’re hosting a haunted house party, carving pumpkins with friends, or enjoying a scary movie marathon, cannabis can add a unique twist to your Halloween festivities. Here’s how to elevate your Halloween the high way — safely, creatively, and memorably. 

1. Costume Ideas for the Cannabis-Conscious

Want to wear your love for cannabis on your sleeve? Here are some fun costume ideas that blend spooky and stoney:

  • Mary Jane the Witch – Classic witch outfit, green accents, and a stash of faux joints in your spellbook.
  • Blunt Ghost – Sheet ghost, but the eyes are bloodshot, and you carry a giant cardboard blunt.
  • Baked Potato – A literal baked potato. Add red eyes and some cheesy puns on your costume.
  • The “Pot” Head – A flowerpot on your head filled with fake cannabis plants. Punny and effective.

Bonus points if you DIY your costume with hemp or upcycled materials!

2. Cannabis-Infused Treats (21+ Only!)

Trick-or-treating is for the kids, but cannabis-infused goodies are the perfect grown-up indulgence. Host a private party and serve: 

  • Joy Bombs by Joyibles: A classic candy experience with these candy-coated bite sized fruit chews infused with 2.5mg THC 
  • Vampire Kiss Mega Pearls by Gron: A luscious blend of strawberry and watermelon and powered by 10mg CBC and 10mg THC in each slice to deliver a supernatural focus and energy.  
  • Nocturnal Nectar Pearls by Gron: Tempt your twilight with these sugar-coated spheres each filled with 10mg THC and 10mg CBN. Delivering the haunting tartness of blood orange in one deliciously dark bite. 
  • Beverage Enhancers by Major: use as a stand-alone shot or mix them into your favorite Halloween inspired beverage for a THC drink experience! Each bottle contains 100mg THC. 

Reminder: Always clearly label infused items and keep them far away from minors. Accidental ingestion is a real risk, especially with sweets. 

3. Haunted Highs: Movie Marathon Pairings

Pair different cannabis strains with horror films based on vibe: 

Movie 

Strain Pairing 

Why 

Hereditary 

Granddaddy Purple 

Mellow your nerves with this heavy indica. 

Hocus Pocus 

Blue Dream 

A light hybrid to keep the mood magical and nostalgic. 

The Shining 

Durban Poison 

A cerebral sativa for a psychological thriller. 

Get Out 

Pineapple Express

 Just remember don’t overdo it if you’re watching alone in the dark…

4. Set the Mood: Haunted High Decor

Elevate your Halloween party setup with cannabis-themed décor: 

  • Glowing bongs as centerpieces 
  • “Creepy cannabis” leaf garlands 
  • A fog machine to simulate your own “hotboxed haunted house” 
  • Green LED lights to mimic that eerie, smoky ambiance 

Let your inner witch or warlock channel the high arts.

5. Keep It Safe and Legal

Celebrating Halloween with cannabis can be fun — but it’s crucial to keep things safe: 

  • Label edibles: Never mix infused and non-infused treats. 
  • Don’t drive high: Use a rideshare or crash at a friend’s place. 
  • Keep products secure: Especially if kids or pets are nearby. 
  • Respect local laws: Not all states/countries allow public consumption. 

Being responsible doesn’t kill the vibe — it keeps the party going without consequences. So, roll it, light it, and let the spooky good times roll.
