For a lot of people, coffee is non-negotiable. It’s the familiar start to the day, the pause before jumping into emails, errands, or creative projects. Cannabis, on the other hand, has long been associated with evenings and winding down. But that idea is shifting. More consumers are exploring how cannabis fits into different parts of the day, especially when chosen thoughtfully.

At Hippos Cannabis, one of the most common conversations revolves around timing. Not just when to consume cannabis, but how different formats, doses, and products feel when paired with everyday routines like coffee. The key isn’t intensity; it’s intention.

Whether you’re cannabis-curious or already comfortable exploring new products, understanding how edibles and flower work can help you choose options that feel manageable, predictable, and enjoyable.

‍

So What Goes First: Coffee or Cannabis?

This is one of the most common questions people ask when they’re curious about pairing cannabis with their daily coffee routine. The short answer? There’s no universal rule. It really comes down to personal preference, timing, and how intentional you want the experience to feel.

That said, many people find it more comfortable to start with coffee first. Coffee tends to act quickly, helping ease you into the day and establish a familiar baseline. Once caffeine has settled in, some people choose to introduce cannabis afterward rather than stacking both at the same time. This approach allows each experience to stand on its own instead of blending together all at once.

Others prefer to keep a little space between the two, enjoying coffee, going about their morning routine, and then incorporating cannabis later in the day when things slow down slightly. This can make it easier to gauge how each product feels individually, especially when trying something new.

‍

A Few Things People Consider When Deciding

• Timing: Coffee works fast, while edibles take time to activate
• Format: Flower and fast-acting products feel different than traditional edibles
• Pacing: Starting with one, then layering the other later, often feels more predictable
  

There’s no right or wrong order; just what fits your routine. At Hippos Cannabis, budtenders often remind shoppers that experimenting slowly and paying attention to timing makes all the difference. Whether coffee comes first or cannabis comes later, the best approach is the one that feels intentional and easy to manage.

How Do You Take Coffee and Cannabis Together?

For people curious about enjoying coffee and cannabis on the same day, or even around the same time, the key is simplicity and pacing. This pairing works best when it’s intentional, not rushed. Instead of thinking about combining them all at once, many people treat coffee and cannabis as two separate moments that gently overlap.

A common approach is to enjoy coffee first, letting that familiar routine settle in, then introduce cannabis later in a controlled way. This might mean starting with a small portion of an edible, choosing a light flower option, or spacing cannabis out by 30 minutes to an hour after coffee. Giving each experience its own window makes it easier to understand how they interact for you.

‍

Practical Ways People Pair Them

• Coffee first, cannabis second: A popular choice that allows caffeine to kick in before adding cannabis
• Low and slow: Small portions of edibles or a light amount of flower help keep things manageable
• Spacing matters: Waiting between coffee and cannabis helps avoid overlap that feels rushed
• One product at a time: Avoid stacking multiple cannabis products when caffeine is involved
  

Because edibles take longer to activate, often 45 minutes to two hours, patience is especially important. Starting low and waiting before having more helps keep the experience predictable and comfortable.

‍

How Edibles Work (and Why Patience Matters)

Edibles are typically made by infusing cooking oil or butter with cannabis extract, or by mixing extract directly into other ingredients. Because they’re digested and processed by the stomach and liver, their activation time is longer than inhaled methods.

Most edibles take around 45 minutes to begin, and sometimes up to two hours. The experience also tends to build gradually. That’s why starting low and giving yourself time before consuming more is always recommended.

When Flower Makes Sense with Coffee

Edibles aren’t the only option people explore earlier in the day. For experienced consumers, flower can feel more immediate and easier to gauge, especially when used intentionally.

Local Cannabis Co. - Orange 43 (Jar)

For those who prefer flower, Orange 43 from Local Cannabis Co. is a standout sativa offering. This strain is a cross of White Fire 43 (Jungle Boys cut) and Orange Juice Bud, and it’s known for both potency and character.

Despite the citrus-forward name, Orange 43 leans heavily into classic OG structure and gassy terpene notes, with citrus playing a supporting role. 

Why Orange 43 gets attention:

• High THC levels (31.07%)
• A terpene profile led by terpinolene, myrcene, and limonene
• A balance of gas and citrus rather than sweetness
• Known for consistency and quality
  

For experienced flower consumers, Orange 43 is often chosen for creative sessions, focused tasks, or moments where coffee is already part of the routine.
