Across the states, all-time heat records have been continually overthrown. And as we head deeper into the summer months, these scorching days will only pile up.
Besides seeking shelter under a thick tree or hopping into an icy shower, consider cannabis as another helpful cooling option. Since it can essentially be infused to any number of products, cannabis’s summertime influence will keep you feeling chilled and refreshed.
Below, check out our tips, tricks, and infused products to help you cool down during the heatwave.
Cooling topicals
Nothing feels more invigorating than slathering refrigerated aloe or lotion onto angry, burnt skin. Even better if they’re infused with healing CBD or THC. If you’re in a pinch and can’t find an infused product near you, add a few drops of infused oil — homemade or otherwise — to your favorite lotion or gel and shake it up before throwing it in the cooler or fridge.

Infused summer treats
Time to break out the ice cream, popsicles, and frozen fruit after a sweltering hike. But if your local ice cream man isn’t stocking up on anything happy and green, simply mix some flavored tincture into your juice or tea of choice and fill up a few ice trays with the concoction. Freeze and enjoy an elevated evening.
Treats we love

Vaping products
You may be staying away from lighting up straight flower due to the harsh smoke and fire. If so, now’s the time to consider a vape. Most are lightweight and easy-to-use, and if you’re out and about, there’s no worry of weed smoke getting into the lungs or the campgrounds of those around you.
