10. Cannabis Gift Etiquette: The Connecticut Way

Connecticut’s gifting culture leans thoughtful, intentional, and classy—never overwhelming or unclear. Here’s how to keep it polished:

✔ Include clear dosage notes

No friend wants to relive a bad college edible experience.

✔ Keep everything properly labeled

“Infused,” “Non-infused,” strain names, storage notes—always.

✔ Make it personal

Connecticut residents love a good handwritten card.

✔ Pair cannabis with local items

Maple syrup, small-batch snacks, beachy trinkets, or artisan goods go a long way.

✔ Celebrate responsibly

Remind recipients to enjoy legally and safely.

When your homegrown bud becomes part of someone’s special moment, it’s more than a present… it’s a memory planted and shared.
