How to Do Sober October (And the Best Products to Get You Through)

Sober October is a chance for people to take a break from their vices, usually that’s referring to alcohol. If you’re joining the Sober October movement and planning to abstain from alcohol until after Halloween, or maybe forever, you’ll need alternatives. 

If cannabis isn’t something you’re giving up for the month, these products are wonderful alcohol replacements. From drinks you can bring to parties to gummies that make trick-or-treating way more fun, these goodies are perfect for a sober spooky season.

Mixers for the Bar

With all the Halloween bar crawls and costume parties coming up, you might start to feel left out at the bars and clubs. The perfect solution is a THC mixer. These mix-ins can be added to almost any beverage, turning a plain drink into a high time. These are some of my favorites that will make you forget all about alcohol.

1906 Off Duty Cannabis Shots

The 1906 Off Duty Cannabis Shots are one of the most discreet ways to spike your own drink. With 5mg of Delta-9 THC and CBD in each tiny packet, you can snap them open and into your drink for a balanced and buzzy high. And they’re completely unflavored, so you can add them to whatever you want.

Euphoric Nano THC Syrup

Something about the decadent dark cherry flavor of this Euphoric Nano THC Syrup pairs perfectly with fall outings. It’s lush and punchy, and has that rich autumn aura that I love in a cherry stout or cranberry cocktail. Spike your Coke or your seltzer, and you’ll have a luscious drink that will make you floaty and fun.

Drop them into a soda, and it’s like you have a handcrafted drink from the bartender.

Drinks for the Party

THC drinks are ideal for a wide variety of October outings, especially parties and laidback hangouts. Bringing these drinks into a bar might not work, but you can certainly take them to your house party. And these are some of the tastiest ones that will have uplifted along with the undead zombies.

Edibles for Trick-or-Treating

For all the parents out there who will have to endure the trials of corn mazes and trick-or-treating, there are hard-hitting edibles, including THC gummies, brownies, cookies, and more. These are some of my favorites that can help you find juuuust the right high for these activities. 

Out of Office Blood Orange THC Gummies 

The Out of Office Blood Orange THC Gummies contain just 5mg THC and 10mg CBD, which is a wonderfully balanced recipe. You can take half a gummy for a microdose, or take two for a stronger haze, but still be clear enough to manage all the candy collection. Plus, the juicy citrus flavor is better than most Halloween candy.
