Whether you’re planning for sunkissed beach days on the shoreline, firing up the grill for backyard cookouts, or venturing into life beyond the beach like going for hikes, concerts, or lake weekends, summer is the season for fun times and good memories.
And if you’re pairing some of those experiences with cannabis, that same summer presents high heat, outdoor exposure, and lots of moving around. Having the right products to make your summer sessions better, safer, and more portable is paramount.
That’s where having a trusted dispensary comes in! Fine Fettle is a premium and reliable dispensary in Connecticut. Fine Fettle also has dispensaries in MA and locations in Georgia as well. You can shop in-store and chat with our knowledgeable budtenders, or you can also make use of our cannabis delivery options where available and continue your summer celebrations in style!
What Makes a Great Summer Cannabis Product?
Not all cannabis products can withstand high heat. With temperatures soaring this summer already, make sure to look for cannabis products that have these features:
- Heat stability: Chocolate edibles will melt in your bag and leave a mess, while gummies or beverages are much easier to travel with
- Portability: For summer plans where you’re on the move (in legal states) and discretion is a big plus, make sure your products can slip in a back pocket easily
- Low-dose options: High-potency options can leave you feeling drained. Low-dose cannabis options allow you to enjoy a light social buzz that’s great for hot summer days
- Hydration: Make sure you keep the sun and cannabis-induced dehydration in mind and carry plenty of water!
The Summer Essentials Checklist
For the Beach: Portable Vapes
For a beach day, portable vapes are a great option. You don’t have to struggle with a lighter or the wind, nor do you leave any trash behind.
When it comes to the best vape options for the summer, all-in-one disposables offer maximum convenience, while 510 threaded carts paired with reusable batteries can give you better control over temperature settings, strains, and flavor. For better long-term use, keep your vape in a shaded bag and away from direct sun or a hot car.
Some of Fine Fettle’s vape product recommendations would include the AURA “Kush Mints” Disposable Vape that has a balanced profile and sweet mint finish, or the AURA Pineapple Express Disposable, an excellent choice for a cool beach evening.
2. For Bonfires and Beach Nights: Pre-Rolls
Pre-rolls require zero prep, are easy to share, and require no grinder or papers. Instead of fumbling around and carefully balancing your stash, paper, and filters, you can pull out a pre-roll, spark it, and enjoy.
A 1-gram pre-roll is great for a solo hike or if it’s two people as well. If you’re going with a group, try picking up a 7-pack of comffy Fritters to pass around.
Once you’ve set up camp, settled in, and are kicking back to relax, comffy’s “Homebody” pre-roll is a heavy-hitting but smooth experience that’ll enhance your lowkey night of relaxation!
3. For the Backyard Cookout: Heat-Proof Edibles and Beverages
If you’re out in the backyard cooking over a grill under the sweltering heat, some melt-resistant edibles like these Tangerine Twists Sativa Gummies would be a good option. You could also pick up some THC seltzers and other beverages that are both refreshing and excellent substitutes for beer at the grill.
For hot days, we’d suggest a lower dosage, especially if you’re a cannabis novice. Start low, go slow, stay steady, and stay hydrated!
4. For Porch Nights at Home: Classic Flower
Enjoying the golden hour at home on your porch with a joint that you made is one of life’s pleasures that you just can’t find elsewhere. If you’re looking to kick back at home, some classic, uplifting hybrids for daytime, like comffy’s “Golden Hour” flower, or stronger hybrids that are as smooth as they are potent for sunset, like comffy’s “Cloud Nine” flower, which is equal parts relaxing and potent.
If you’re going to store flower over the summer, proper storage is key. Make sure to get an airtight mason jar made from glass, store your cannabis in it, and place the jar in a cool and dark place.
5. For the “Beyond”: Topicals and Recovery Products
If you’re spending a lot of time outdoors running, hiking, cycling, or cliff-diving, active summers often mean sore muscles, stiff backs/necks, and tons of sun exposure. In these scenarios, topicals are your best answer.
Many lotions offer targeted relief, with THC- and CBD-infused balms, lotions and cooling gels acting locally on the cannabinoid receptors in your skin and muscles. Since these products are applied to the skin and don’t enter the bloodstream, they don’t cause intoxication, helping you manage pain without psychoactive effects.
Fine Fettle product recommendations include Treeworks’ Canna Cream. Designed for sports wear and tear, the canna cream combines the soothing warmth of camphor and black pepper with the cooling effects of menthol, creating dynamic and effective topical relief. Infused with CBD, CBG, and THC, it provides powerful anti-inflammatory support to help you recover from the physical impact of having an active lifestyle.
6. For Festivals and All-Day Events: Low-Dose Options
Concerts, all-day events, and large family gatherings usually run for the entire day. While stronger options will keep the effects going for longer, it’ll also make you feel groggy and disoriented. Instead, microdosing low-dose cannabis options like gummies and mints offers a subtle effect. Finding products that are 2.5-5mg of THC per serving will allow you to build up your comfort level while you feel uplifted and energized.
