It’s July 2021, and summer is officially in full swing.
One of the major summer kickoff events in the United States is the 4th of July, where we celebrate our independence and the wealth of freedoms that we enjoy.
On Sunday, people all around the country will be gathering to barbecue, socialize, and watch a myriad of dazzling fireworks displays.
But if you’re wondering where to spend that sixteen cents that you saved on your 4th of July supplies this year, here are some cannabinoid-rich suggestions that will help elevate your holiday celebration.
Edibles & Tinctures
Platinum Vape Gummy Coins
With flavors like Watermelon, Fruit Punch, Peach Mango, Birthday Cake, and Berry Melon, Platinum Vape gummies are a treat for the taste buds as well as the mind.
Each gummy coin is infused with 10mg of THC and loads of flavor.
If you’re the type that doesn’t enjoy the taste of cannabis in your edibles, you are sure to enjoy Platinum Vape gummies where the weed flavor is all but nonexistent.
Platinum Vape gummies are available at participating dispensaries in California.
A portion of all gummy coin sales goes to Platinum Vape’s React Foundation, which supports a variety of charities and social causes.
Le Mirage by Hervé
For a flavorful THC-infused candy that is discreetly easy to dispense, look no further than Hervé.
Hervé’s Le Mirage candies are vegan, gluten-free, sweetened with Isomalt, two calories per serving, and easy to eat on the down-low with their compact refillable dispenser.
Le Mirage candies come in flavors like Sour Peach, Sour Green Apple, and Peppermint and are perfect for a 4th of July barbecue or enhancing your fireworks viewing experience.
Hervé also has a line of 23-karat gold-swathed 10mg-THC Les Macarons cookies that make great edible desserts that are as sweet as they are elegant.
Les Macarons are also gluten-free.
Wellfounded Botanicals
If you live with chronic pain or other discomforts in your daily life, those won’t likely take a break on the 4th of July holiday.
A newcomer to the cannabis market, Wellfounded Botanicals has a line of tinctures that are organic, easy to dose, and effective.
Founder and CEO Sara Rotman started Wellfounded Botanicals as part of her quest for health and wellness after she was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease.
I recently received a 30mL bottle of Wellfounded Botanicals’ 20:1 (CBD:THC) Restore tincture that has had noticeable effects on chronic pain that I experience.
One dropper-full 2-3 times a day has been enough to ease my pain and provide relief that I didn’t think was possible.
Wellfounded Botanicals also offers 30mL bottles of 1:1 Relief tincture for soothing pain and inflammation while facilitating a calm sense of well-being.
PlusCBD
CV Sciences recently unveiled their new line of CBD-enhanced Calm and Sleep gummies, designed to calm your mind and help you rest.
The sweet and tangy Sleep and Calm gummies contain sustainably sourced hemp-derived CBD as well as nutraceutical and botanical ingredients like melatonin, lemon balm, and magnolia bark.
Calm gummies contain neurologically active amino acids, 5-HTP, and L-Theanine to help manage stress.
Calm gummies can help you relax during your 4th of July celebration, and Sleep gummies can help facilitate a good night’s rest after the fireworks have died down.
Natural Health
If you would like to enjoy some tasty non-alcoholic beverages on the 4th of July, The Good Stuff Beverage Co. has what you need.

The gluten-free, GMO-free drinks can also be used to add a THC content to Jell-O shots instead of alcohol.
I recently received a bottle of the Relax! flavor, which I can say mixes perfectly with Dr. Pepper.
Good Stuff beverages also make for a skinny alternative to beer, with each fat-free bottle containing only three grams of sugar, 13 calories, and no sodium.
Select Squeeze
Select recently launched a line of nano-THC beverage enhancers that can discreetly turn any beverage into a liquid edible.
A single Squeeze of the bottle fills the reservoir with 10mg of nano encapsulated THC, which you can pour into your beverage of choice.
Thanks to nanoencapsulation, you can feel Squeeze’s THC effects in about fifteen minutes, which is a quicker onset time than traditional edibles.
Squeeze beverage enhancers come in Lemon-Lime, Strawberry, Lemonade, Watermelon, and Hint of Sweet flavors.
