If you’re looking for a way to spice up (or spike) your Friendsgiving dish, add some of our favorite herb: cannabis! You can add THC to virtually any of your favorite recipes, including yummy fall treats, or even traditional Thanksgiving dishes.
In order to make your main Friendsgiving dishes that psychedelic kick, you’ll need to have decarbed cannabis flower or a THC-infused tincture. Here you can find out how to decarb any raw cannabis you have, which will allow you to make cannabis-infused butter that can be substituted for butter in any recipe. Otherwise, simply pick up a THC-infused oil or butter that’s premade to swap into your recipes.

- 1 lb. good-quality day-old white bread, torn into 1" pieces (about 10 cups)
- 2½ cups chopped yellow onions
- 1½ cups ¼" slices celery
- ½ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh sage
- 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary

- Scatter 1 lb. good-quality day-old white bread, torn into 1" pieces (about 10 cups), in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake, stirring occasionally, until dried out, about 1 hour. Let cool; transfer to a very large bowl.
- Meanwhile, melt ¾ cup cannabis-infused* butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add 2½ cups chopped yellow onions and 1½ cups ¼" slices celery. Stir often until just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
- Add to bowl with bread; stir in ½ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh sage, 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary, 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh thyme, 2 tsp. kosher salt, and 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle in 1¼ cups low-sodium chicken broth and toss gently. Let cool.

- Add to bread mixture; fold gently until thoroughly combined.
- Transfer to prepared dish, cover with foil, and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of dressing registers 160°, about 40 minutes.
- Continue to bake dressing, uncovered, until set and top is browned and crisp, 40–45 minutes longer.
Do ahead: Dressing can be baked (before browning) 1 day ahead. Uncover and let cool, then cover and chill. Uncover and bake until top is browned and crisp, 50–60 minutes.

3. Easy Gravy
Spiking gravy with cannabis is a great idea for a Friendsgiving gathering because those who want to get lifted can pour it over everything. Those who want just a little relaxation can drizzle it over just a few things. It’s easy for everyone to dose to their liking!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of cannabutter
- 2 onions (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons of fresh rosemary (chopped)
- turkey, chicken, or vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons of fresh sage (chopped)
- 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar
- 1/3 cup of flour
- salt and pepper (optional)
Directions
- Start off by adding your cannabutter to the large skillet and placing it on the stove over medium heat. Allow the cannabutter to melt. Occasionally keep an eye on the butter to make sure that it does not burn.
- After the cannabutter has melted, add in the two onions and saute for 10 minutes. Next, add in the rosemary and sage and saute for an additional 10 minutes.
- Once you finish sauteing, add your flour to the skillet and whisk (vigorously) for 1 minute. Then, slowly pour in the stock while continuously stirring. Add in enough stock so that the gravy thickens. Stir throughout the entire process.
- Lastly, add in the vinegar to the gravy and let it simmer on low heat for 15 minutes. After that, season the gravy with salt and pepper. Your cannabis-infused gravy is now complete!
