When it comes to Father’s Day, the gift options seem endless. There are literally thousands of ties, socks and wallets available to buy online. But when you stop and think about what dad really wants, is another tie the answer?

4. High quality chocolates
Few things beat a homemade gift. If you’re feeling creative, you could consider filling a chocolate box with edibles. Think chocolate truffles, jelly beans, and weed-infused macarons. Be creative and make it as decadent or as fun as you like.
Cannabis chocolates are easy to make. For inspiration, check out this cannabis chocolate recipe. Or, if you’re in a pinch, you can always buy groceries at your local dispensary or online.
5. CBD Beard Oil
Whether your dad likes cannabis or not, this gift will make him laugh. And it might give his beard a glow, too.
CBD Beard Oil is made with CBD, a non-psychoactive cannabis compound, as a base. Reported to help prevent and treat acne under beards and minimize ingrown hairs, among others benefits.
Also, if your dad isn’t totally on board with cannabis, CBD is a great way to introduce him. Taken as a tincture, CBD is known to ease anxiety and relieve pain for many users, so it could be a useful supplement to put on a parent’s radar.
We hope this article has given you some ideas for cannabis products and accessories that dad will love. From all of us at GreenState, Happy Father’s Day!
