Before the turkey hits the oven and the mashed potatoes hit the table, there’s one day that cannabis lovers circle on the calendar every November: Green Wednesday. Falling on the day before Thanksgiving, it’s basically the Super Bowl of dispensary shopping. Think 4/20 meets Black Friday, but with fewer crowds and way better vibes.
At High Street Dispensary, we love Green Wednesday because it brings together everything the holidays are meant to be: good company and a little extra something to keep things cozy.
If you’re new to the buzz or just looking to make the most of the season, here’s everything you need to know about the cannabis holiday that kicks off Thanksgiving weekend.
What is Green Wednesday?
Green Wednesday has been around for less than a decade, but it’s already become one of the biggest cannabis shopping days of the year (right up there with 4/20).
The term first started circulating around 2016, when delivery services and dispensaries noticed something curious: Sales were spiking the day before Thanksgiving. Shoppers were grabbing pre-rolls for long walks after dinner, edibles to survive travel delays, and vape carts for discreet family gatherings.
Once the pattern stuck, so did the name. And now? Green Wednesday is an annual cannabis celebration for which dispensaries like High Street roll out some of our best deals of the year. According to industry data, Green Wednesday sales nationwide often rival or even surpass Black Friday.
Why Green Wednesday hits different
Sure, the savings are nice. But here’s why Green Wednesday has really become such a favorite:
- Perfect timing: Thanksgiving is tomorrow. The errands are done. The fridge is stocked. It’s time to relax (or to prepare to spend a day with extended family). Either way, cannabis helps.
- Major deals: Green Wednesday brings deep discounts, product drops, and holiday bundles that make it the best day to stock up for the season. For many people, it’s also the perfect moment to pick up a few gifts or try something new.
- Good vibes only: No chaotic lines or 5 a.m. alarms needed. Just chill shoppers and friendly budtenders.
- Community connection: Cannabis brings people together, and Green Wednesday is a reminder of how far the culture has come.
