Elevate Your Holiday Season!

The holidays are here! This time of year can be filled with magic and coming together with those you love… it can also bring about a *bit* of stress. What is one of the best ways to decrease the holiday stress and reconnect with one another? Why, cannabis of course! We’ve gathered a few cannabis-themed gift guides and some cannabis infused holiday recipes to add to the table. We’ve also included our guide for giving to the local organizations that we love and support.  Plus, check out our top recommended products that will make for a jolly family gathering and help keep you cool, calm and collected for when your uncle starts talking politics at the dinner table…

Cannabis infused recipes

Looking to zshush up your holiday baking this year with a little bit of green? Look no further. We’ve got recipes for a full holiday meal and a few desserts all infused with that magical cannabis touch. Your holiday meal will be *chef’s kiss* perfect and filled with the giggles rather than family drama. 

Canna-butter

Find a step-by-step guide for decarbing and infusing butter with your favorite bud here or here. Vegan? No prob. Just switch out butter for coconut oil and you’re all set. 

Preheat your oven to 330 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 9-inch loaf baking dish. In a large bowl, whip together the sugar and butter. Once the mix is light and fluffy, add in the egg and molasses and stir to combine. In a separate bowl mix, together the flour, salt and spices. Add the flour mixture into the creamed butter mixture and thoroughly combine. Whisk in the hot water and pour the batter into the baking dish. Bake for one hour or until a knife comes out clean from the center. Serve the cake warm or room temperature.

‘Tis the Season of Giving

2021 Featured Community Organizations

The Prime Leaf is proud to support these organizations all throughout the year. This holiday season, we are committed to making a financial donation to all of the following organizations that directly supports both the local Tucson community and the greater cannabis community.

Tucson Second Chance Community Bail Fund

J.B. Wright Elementary School

John B. Wright Elementary School is an A+ rated school located right in our Speedway neighborhood. As a 100% Title I school, nearly all students are living under the poverty line facing severely worsened conditions from the pandemic. Despite the growing hardships and exclusion these incredibly challenging years have brought, the staff have been working tirelessly to foster growth and inclusion at the school. Students are encouraged to learn about each other’s stories, cultural differences and embrace their own diversity. The school promotes a “Growth Mindset” where students are encouraged to welcome and lift up failure and celebrate the achievements that follow! 

The Prime Leaf held a toy drive in 2020 and 2021 to collect toy donations for the families at JB Wright who are facing hardships this holiday season. Additionally, The Prime Leaf will be donating a sum to the school to support families in need with food and gifts and to provide supplies to under-resourced teachers and classrooms.

Last Prisoner Project

University of Arizona Community & School Garden Program

The University of Arizona’s Community and School Garden Program (CSGP) connects Tucson educators and community organizations with university students eager to participate in the school garden movement occurring throughout the country. University student interns are matched with low-income school and community placement sites where they support the installation, development and maintenance of a garden program. Using gardens as dynamic educational tools, the program helps cultivate community, connect students with their local food system and use gardens as STEM learning labs.

In 2021, The Prime Leaf committed a financial sum to support the vital work of the UA CSGP program, helping expand resources and opportunities for underserved TUSD students. Due to Prop 207’s lack of public education funding, we feel it’s important to make direct contributions to programs supporting youth in our community.

Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation

Youth on Their Own

Youth On Their Own (YOTO) supports the high school graduation and continued success of youth experiencing homelessness in Pima County. YOTO strives to eliminate barriers to education and empower housing insecure youth in our community to stay in school. For over 35 years, YOTO has supported this unique demographic by providing financial assistance, basic human needs, guidance, and more. With the help of the community, YOTO has supported over 20,000 local youth in their journeys toward high school graduation!

This is the Prime Leaf’s first opportunity to support Youth On Their Own! We look forward to contributing to their important mission. Head to their website for more information on volunteer opportunities, donation needs and more! 

From all of us at The Prime Leaf, we wish you and your loved ones a very joyful, safe, and restful holiday season!!
