Halloween—or as we prefer to call it, Halloweed—is only days away. If you’re looking for a costume that’s sure to turn heads, why not go with a cannabis-themed one? Not only are they fun and unique, but they’re also relatively easy to make at home.
Dressing in a cannabis-themed costume is a great way to show your support for the community and to raise awareness about cannabis legalization and reform. Plus, if you’re going to a Halloween party with friends, you can coordinate your costumes to create a group costume. For example, you could all dress as different types of cannabis products, such as blunts, joints, or edibles.
