Cannabis Is In, Booze Is Out at This Year’s Thanksgiving Table

The idea of going “California sober” is no longer taboo for many families on Turkey Day — THC is even showing up in the turkey itself.

More Americans are opting for a different kind of buzz to go with their food comas this Thanksgiving. As regulation around cannabis and other drugs has eased up, it’s spread into everything, including holiday dinner.

People are sampling infused seltzers, stuffing, racks of lamb and turkey, even getting experimental with their gravy ingredients. Some are no longer shy about breaking out THC gummies in front of their relatives.
