This weekend is the Fourth of July, which is usually a day that Americans gather in large groups, eat hot dogs, watch fireworks and celebrate freedom. COVID-19 will make this year’s Fourth of July different. There are many fireworks events being cancelled across the country and large gatherings of people should be avoided.
You can still enjoy your day, whether you’re with friends in your social bubble or Zoom. For the weekend, we’ve compiled a huge list of foods and strains that go well with Independence Day.
Let’s also use the holiday as a time to consider how, in terms of our freedom, there are still many things that we cannot do, possess or eat. It is important to note that there are still many things we need to do in order for the cannabis plant, which we love so much, and other areas of society to become legalized.

Marijuana: Why is there no buzz?
