There’s nothing sillier than a cannabis-inspired adventure. A hike, a night out, or just about any otherrecreational activity can be made better with some herb. People already drink heavily before they hit theclub and camping trips are often incomplete without some beer. But, cannabis creates a similar andenjoyable social bonding experience with less harm.

You won’t have a crazy hangover the next day. People can get kind of mean or grouchy as alcohol beginsto wear off. Cannabis does not have that effect, so you can really enjoy every moment of whatever you’redoing without hiccup.
