Here’s How to Build Your Own Stoner Advent Calendar

Maybe we can make the days leading up to the year’s end feel more like an epic climax and less like a floppy conclusion.

An Advent calendar traditionally tells the story of the days leading to Christ's birth via a large wooden card with tiny "windows" that are opened each day to reveal a small candy. Over time, they have become a largely secular, mostly cardboard holiday fixture. So it can hardly be considered sacrilegious to propose replacing those treats with cannabis-infused edibles.

The cannabis industry has been effectively absorbing the artisan chocolate scene for a while now, so it seems high time to cobble together a medicated Advent calendar for the modern cannabis enthusiast. Maybe we can make the days leading up to the year's end feel more like an epic climax and less like a floppy conclusion.
