How Do Millennials Deal With Marijuana?
Just like older generations, the millennial generation has also experienced many changes. Activism in the field of marijuana has led to legalization taking on ever-larger forms. Cannabis laws are being amended in all sorts of areas. The history of marijuana has always been very moving and dynamic with all sorts of new twists and turns, but the biggest breakthroughs in legalization can be attributed to the millennial generation. Millennials are known for not having any stigma against the use of cannabis and legalization. And by the way, many of them work in the cannabis industry and fulfill jobs ranging from dispensary employee, researcher, cultivator, marketing specialist, and cannapreneur.
Who are the millennials?
Millennials or Generation Y follow Generation X. It is the people who became adults around the turn of the century. However, there is no precise definition. Millennials grew up in a world that was always online and on-demand. They have always had the internet. There has not been a generation so far that has received so much marketing attention. They are also involved with social networks and are also characterized by a great deal of self-assurance, partly because they have always been told to pursue their dreams. Although this generation is likely to be worse off economically than their parents, millennials are very positive. They have a very liberal attitude and are positive about differences.
Weed versus alcohol
Millennials often see cannabis as a better alternative than alcohol. This is not surprising, and they are not the only generation that thinks alike. But regarding the "purchasing power" of Generation Y, this is an important development for companies and businesses. More than half of all millennials find alcohol more harmful and dangerous than marijuana. Traditionally, men use weed more often than women, and this is also the case among millennials. But among millennials, there are a lot of women who work in the cannabis industry. They grew up with the idea that the cannabis industry is a very interesting industry with many possibilities. More and more women who belong to Generation Y start a career in cannabis and are innovative in the field of cannabis lifestyle.
Effects on health
Smoking weed, as well as drinking alcohol, have negative effects on the body. Both in the short term and in the long term, it can affect health. Alcohol is known to cause many casualties, often with fatal consequences. But what about (excessive) cannabis use? Research into the effect of marijuana is still in its infancy. Certainly, if you compare it with the extensive studies that have been done in the field of human health and the use of alcohol. What do the millennials think about this? Millennials are of the opinion that alcohol can cause more damage than cannabis. This is a striking change in opinion on this subject, compared to previous generations.
Millennials and marijuana use
Millennials make up a large amount of the total group of people who use marijuana in a recreational way. More than half of all users are between 22 and 35 years old. The annual amount spent on cannabis and cannabis products and accessories is over 500 euro per year per user. Regarding millennials and medical marijuana, there are still a lot of questions waiting for an answer. It is not exactly clear why millennials use medical marijuana. Neither has good research been done on this subject. The use of cannabis for medicinal purposes appears to be no problem for the millennials. The acceptance is actually already there, but the legislation is not.
Millennials and legalization
Most millennials believe that cannabis should be fully legalized and think that this is also only a matter of time. Millennials believe that the cannabis world will be globally reformed within 5 to 10 years. We can also expect millennials to actively engage in legalization and they will certainly make their voice heard in this area.

Sound like fun, right? That is why we are going to make a mojito, one of the most famous and most popular mix drinks in the world.
A marijuana mojito is not only very tasty, but also very original. It is a great, creative twist, based an existing classic. And there are enough reasons to make a delicious marijuana mojito. Maybe because you want to get high, but you don't want to smoke or vape. Or maybe you have something special to celebrate? But you can also drink a mojito because you are just thirsty!

Mojito from Cuba
You can drink a mojito all year round. It does not necessarily have to be a warm summer day, but a sunny vibe does contribute to the experience. And if you add marijuana, it will be a very special mix drink and the sun will only shine brighter! It is assumed that mojito comes from Cuba. But not everybody agrees on how and where the drink exactly originated. And who made the mojito for the first time is also not known.
One of the legends tells that a group of traders and explorers sailed to Havana (the capital of Cuba). The crew onboard became ill and received the mojito recipe from the local population. They recovered quickly, probably thanks to the fresh lime juice that contains a lot of vitamin C. A legend was born! Now the mojito is drunk because it is simply tasty and refreshing. And as said, by adding marijuana we make it even more special.
Another story is that the mojito comes from slaves which had to work on the cane sugar plantations of Cuba. They drank pure cane sugar juice, guarapo, an ingredient in a mojito. There is also a story about Ernest Hemingway. It seems that he often drank mojitos too. The mojito is one of the most appreciated cocktails in the world. The mocktail, a cocktail without alcohol, is also delicious. And now that we are adding marijuana, the popularity of the mojito could only increase. So let's get started!
How to make a marijuana mojito
First, find all the ingredients. This is what you need for a marijuana mojito:
- Rum (1 bottle)
- Marijuana (3 grams)
- 1 lime
- crushed ice cream
- sparkling water
- 2 scoops of cane sugar
- fresh mint
Now we come to the fun part, the actual making of the marijuana mojito. Ready for it? Let's get to it...
As you probably know, CBD and THC is not active in raw cannabis. The effects will only take effect when the heating has taken place. As a result, other compounds arise, CBDA becomes CBD, and TCHA becomes THC. This process is called decarboxylation. For this, place crumbled weed tops on a baking sheet and place in the oven, set to 100 degrees for one hour.
When you have done that we will make a kind of tea bag, only with marijuana. Find a pantyhose and cut it off at the ankle. Put the weed in and close it at the top. Now you hang this 'tea bag' in the rum for a few days. 3 days is fine. The longer you let it infuse, the stronger the effect. Once the rum is ready, put the sugar in a tall glass, along with the lime and mint and crush the whole. Add the crushed ice. And then the rum. And the sparkling water. And there you have it: your home-made, delicious marijuana mojito!
Let us know how it tasted!
