The History Behind Cinco de Mayo (And Why It Pairs Perfectly With Cannabis)

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army’s surprising victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.

While it is a relatively minor holiday within Mexico itself, particularly observed in the state of Puebla, it has become a widely celebrated cultural event in the United States, especially in cities with large Mexican-American communities.

The day is known for its festive spirit, colorful decorations, traditional foods, live music, and community gatherings.

This vibrant atmosphere shares natural common ground with cannabis culture, which also emphasizes sensory awareness, social connection, and celebration of shared experiences.

Cannabis in Mexican History and Culture

Cannabis has historical roots in Mexico, where it was used for medicinal purposes as early as the 16th century. By the early 1900s, cannabis (locally known as “mariguana”) was used both in traditional medicine and within some religious or spiritual practices.

Despite later criminalization and stigmatization, the plant remains culturally and historically significant in many parts of Latin America.

As modern cannabis becomes more widely accepted, especially in the U.S., many are rediscovering its role in enhancing cultural rituals and festivities—Cinco de Mayo included.

Why Cannabis Is a Great Option for Cinco de Mayo

While beer and tequila are often front and center during Cinco de Mayo, cannabis offers a refreshing alternative for those seeking a more relaxed, mindful celebration.

Compared to alcohol, cannabis can promote sociability without the sluggishness or dehydration that alcohol often brings.

It also pairs well with the day's sensory richness, allowing for a whole new appreciation of the excellent food, music, and ambiance of this celebration.

Here’s why many prefer cannabis over alcohol on May 5:

No Hangover: Unlike tequila shots and margaritas, cannabis doesn’t leave you with a pounding headache the next morning.
More Control Over Effects: With accurate dosing, especially through edibles or vape blends, it’s easier to tailor your experience to fit the vibe—whether chill or energetic.
Better for Shared Spaces: Cannabis encourages a mellow, open atmosphere that makes conversation feel easier and social interactions more enjoyable.

Whether you’re hosting friends or enjoying a quiet celebration at home, cannabis can provide a smoother, more personalized way to engage with the festivities.

Choosing the Right Cannabinoid Profile for the Occasion

Not every cannabis product fits the same mood. Matching your cannabinoid blend to Cinco de Mayo's spirit is key to an enjoyable experience.

For example, uplifting blends with THCv or Delta 10 can boost energy and sociability, making them great for parties.

On the other hand, CBN or Delta 8-infused options may be better suited for relaxed meals and live music, with Delta 9, HHC, and THCp being high-potency options perfect for at-home festivities or winding down after a long day of partying.

At Mellow Fellow, we recommend products based on how you want to feel. Whether it’s a mood-boosting gummy to kick off the afternoon or a relaxing blend to wind down your evening, choosing the right cannabinoid profile ensures your celebration feels just right from start to finish.

At Mellow Fellow, we recommend products based on how you want to feel. You might start your afternoon with a mood-boosting gummy or end the night with a relaxing blend. Either way, the right cannabinoid profile helps your celebration feel balanced and enjoyable from start to finish.

Cannabis-Infused Mexican Cuisine: Flavor Meets Function

Mexican cuisine, with its rich flavors and varied textures, provides an excellent canvas for cannabis infusion. Beyond the expected brownies or gummies, traditional Mexican dishes can be thoughtfully infused with cannabinoids to create a culinary experience that honors both cultures.

Infused Cooking Oils

Infused cooking oils form the foundation of cannabis cuisine. A high-quality olive or avocado oil infused with your preferred cannabinoid extract can be incorporated into numerous Mexican dishes.

Drizzle it over street-style elote (grilled corn), blend it into fresh guacamole, or use it as the base for homemade salsa verde.

The key is calculating dosage carefully across the entire dish, ensuring each serving provides a consistent, predictable experience.

Tinctures

Tinctures offer another versatile infusion method, especially for beverages. While cannabis-infused margaritas have become somewhat expected, consider exploring less common traditional Mexican drinks.

Horchata, a creamy rice-based beverage flavored with cinnamon, pairs beautifully with a mild Happy Blend tincture, creating a relaxing, dessert-like treat.

Similarly, a refreshing agua fresca infused with a precisely measured dose from the Energy Blend Tincture provides a controlled, uplifting experience that won't overwhelm your guests.

Cannabinoid Syrup

If you want to explore a little more, try tepache or pulque, which are fermented pineapple and agave drinks known for their sweetness and great flavor.

If you want to make these drinks a little sweeter and a whole lot more potent, our THC and CBD Watermelon Syrup will definitely up the ante.

Ready-Made Edibles

For those who prefer ready-made options that don’t require any cooking or mixing, our fruit-forward M-Fusions Edibles offer a convenient way to incorporate cannabinoids into your celebration.

The tropical flavors complement traditional Mexican fruit preparations like mangonadas or fruit cups with chamoy and Tajín. For those who want to take things slowly, our M-Fusions Microdose Edibles with just 2.5mg of THC and CBD per piece is a great starting point.

Ingredients

3 ripe avocados
1 small lime (juiced)
1 small tomato (diced)
1/4 cup red onion (finely chopped)
1 garlic clove (minced)
1 to 2 teaspoons cannabis-infused avocado oil (dose based on potency)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: chopped cilantro and jalapeño for extra flavor

If you don’t want to make your own infused cooking oil, you can always use one of our Wellness Blend Tinctures to easily infuse your guacamole or any other dip.

Instructions

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop into a mixing bowl.
Add lime juice and mash until smooth or chunky, depending on your preference.
Stir in tomato, onion, garlic, and your measured dose of cannabis-infused avocado oil.
Season with salt, pepper, and optional ingredients.
Mix well and serve with chips or tacos.

Tip: Start with a low dose of oil, especially if serving to guests. You can always make a non-infused batch for those who prefer it.

Responsible Consumption Tips for Cannabis-Enhanced Celebrations

While incorporating cannabinoids into your Cinco de Mayo celebration can create memorable experiences, responsible consumption is key.

Cultural festivities already include many stimulating elements like rich foods, alcohol, and social energy that can interact with cannabis. Managing your intake thoughtfully ensures that everyone enjoys a positive and safe experience.

Tips for a Better Celebration

Here are some tips to ensure that your cannabis-fuelled Cinco de Mayo is an enjoyable day to remember:

Start With Lower Doses: Begin with a smaller amount than usual, especially if alcohol is involved. Cannabis and alcohol can amplify each other’s effects, making moderation essential. If you’re taking edibles, start with 5 or 10mg of THC at the most, especially if you are a beginner. If vaping, a puff or two will do.
Label Infused Items Clearly: For mixed gatherings where some guests may be cannabis newcomers, label any infused foods or beverages and provide non-infused alternatives to keep everyone comfortable.
Time Edible Servings Carefully: Keep in mind that timing matters when taking edibles and cannabinoids in general.

For Evening Parties: Serve infused appetizers early so effects develop gradually.
For Daytime Events: Use microdosed products for a more subtle, manageable experience.

Choose Vape Products for Quicker Control: Products like Live Resin Disposables offer rapid onset and allow guests to gauge their experience before consuming more, perfect for maintaining a steady, enjoyable vibe during social celebrations.

Best Cannabinoids for a Cinco de Mayo Celebration

In case you’re not sure which cannabinoid is best for your Cinco de Mayo celebrations, here’s a list of the most popular ones to get you started.

Delta 8

Smooth and slightly euphoric, Delta 8 is perfect for a laid-back fiesta. It offers a mild high that keeps you social without sending you straight to the couch. You can get it in both edible and vape format for your convenience.

Delta 9

This is your classic party starter. Delta 9 delivers a stronger, more traditional THC buzz. It’s great for loud music, big laughs, and sharing tacos with friends. For those who want to feel a strong buzz, our Delta 9 Gummies are an excellent choice.

Delta 10

Need a spark of energy for your Cinco de Mayo playlist or backyard games? Delta 10 brings an uplifting, almost sativa-like kick to keep the vibe fun and focused.

HHC

If you want a happy medium between Delta 8 and Delta 9, HHC is your guy. It’s euphoric, relaxing, and known for its feel-good headspace without being overwhelming. An HHC vape cartridge is the perfect way to achieve this happy medium, so you can keep going all day and night.

THCp

Potent and fast-acting, THCp isn’t for beginners, but if you’re a seasoned cannabis fan looking for an extra punch to your celebration, this one delivers a bold, long-lasting experience.

If you want to feel the super potent effects of THCp, and you don’t mind spending your Cinco de Mayo spaced out and super relaxed, then our THCp Bursts are definitely worth looking into. A single one is enough to get the celebrations started.

CBN

Cinco winding down? CBN is ideal for easing into the evening. It’s often used for deep relaxation, making it great after a big meal or before the fireworks.

CBD

Not looking for a high? CBD adds a chill, centered feel without any intoxication. It’s perfect for keeping calm during busy gatherings or balancing out stronger cannabinoids.

CBG

Known as the "mother cannabinoid," CBG is uplifting and mentally clear. It’s great for a creative boost while making decorations or prepping guac for the crew.

THCh

Rare and extra potent, THCh is best for experienced users. It brings a buzzy, euphoric effect that can make everything from music to margarita-flavored gummies feel extra festive. If this sounds like you, then a THCh disposable vape is exactly what you need.
