Empire Glassworks celebrates St. Patrick’s Day! Today, we choose to celebrate all that is green: the shamrocks, the cabbage, and of course, the cannabis. Slowly but surely, St. Patrick’s Day has become a popular celebration for everyone who loves a little green.
St. Patrick’s Day traditions have been around for many, many years. Wearing green, dyeing the Chicago green, and decorating green. So why not smoke green? In this blog, we want to explore how St. Patrick’s Day is becoming a new tradition for “gardeners” around the world. Join us as we share different ways you can celebrate this beloved holiday in both classic and modern ways.
Why the Pinch?
We’ve all been there. You wake up in the morning, get ready for the day, head out, and boom. You’re pinched! Suddenly, you look around and everyone is wearing green except you. You look at your clothes, hoping to find even the slightest shade of the color, but unfortunately, you missed out this year.
Let’s be real. It can be easy to forget the holiday considering most people do not get the day off. It’s even worse when you forget and get called out for it. When it comes to getting pinched, the explanation is quite simple. Wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day is said to make you invisible to leprechauns. It’s a silly concept, but hey! It’s fun! Another reason people wear green is to celebrate the Emerald Isle, more famously known as Ireland.
To avoid that pinch for years to come, remember that March 17 is the day to wear green. If that doesn’t help, think about something else green and beloved — cannabis.
"Irish" I Was High
Another huge St. Patrick’s Day tradition is drinking. Green alcoholic drinks go on sale and beer sells out quickly at local liquor stores. However, drinking is not for everyone. Some people prefer drinking, some prefer smoking, and some enjoy both (don’t worry, judgement-free-zone). All in all, it’s important for everyone to be included in the celebration.
With cannabis becoming legalized around the world, it’s quickly becoming popular on St. Patrick’s Day. Why? Well, you don’t have to dye your cannabis green. It has practically been asking to be a part of the festivities!
How to Celebrate
Cannabis Infused Drinks
As previously mentioned, alcohol isn’t for everyone. If you still want to join in on the fun while still fitting in with the bunch, cannabis-infused drinks are the way to go. These can typically be found at a local dispensary in seltzer, soda, and mocktail form.
If you really want to get festive, try finding a flavor that matches the celebration. For example, Lime, green apple, or even a THC-infused IPA.
Green on Green
Perhaps drinking of any kind isn’t your thing. Maybe you’re simply dedicated to the green. If this is the case, try incorporating green into your smoking accessories. Whether it’s a bong, dry pipe, or a Puffco Peak Pro, there are so plenty of options to help you show your shamrock spirit.
If you are looking to add some more green to your collection, Empire has a huge variety of green items. In fact, many of them are on sale right NOW!
Spend Time in Nature
Nature and cannabis are just chef’s kiss. Head on out with your Empire Glassworks Garden Critters Small Spoon Pipe, play some music, and enjoy all the green that surrounds you. This is a great way to celebrate both St. Patrick’s Day and yourself. Who knows, you might just find a four leaf clover!
