Valentine’s Day 2027 falls on a Sunday, February 14. If cannabis is part of how you and your partner relax, a low-dose, low-pressure approach tends to make for a better evening than a high-dose one. This guide covers how to plan a Valentine’s date night around pickup or delivery, choosing a gentle product, setting the scene at home, and keeping it responsible. It is for adults 21+.
The Quick Answer
- Go low. A small dose lets you enjoy the evening and stay in control.
- Plan ahead. Order earlier in the week, not on the 14th.
- Posted Sunday hours: store 9 AM–11 PM, delivery until 10:30 PM. Holiday hours can differ, so call (848) 500-9333 to confirm.
- Stay in, or plan a ride. Never drive after using cannabis.
Choose Something Gentle
- Low-dose edibles. New Jersey caps edibles at 10 mg per serving, and many people prefer 2.5 to 5 mg. Edibles take time to take effect, so take it earlier and wait. See edible dosing.
- Drinks. Beverages are capped at 5 mg, and can be a social option. See THC drinks.
- A shared pre-roll is easy to pace, and you can stop whenever you like. See pre-rolls.
- Topicals are applied to the skin and aren’t meant to get you high. See topicals.
If either of you is new to cannabis, or has taken a break, start with half of what you think you need. See getting back gently after a break and microdosing.
Talk First
Cannabis should be something you both want, not something one of you expects. Check in beforehand: who is using, how much, and what each of you is comfortable with. Either of you can say no at any point, and a night without it is fine.
Timing the Evening
- Eat first. Dinner before, not after.
- Take edibles early and wait. Give it at least a couple of hours before deciding on more.
- Keep water and snacks handy.
- Don’t combine with alcohol. If you have wine, skip the cannabis. See why they don’t mix.
Pickup or Delivery
Order-ahead pickup keeps the errand short. See order-ahead pickup. Delivery has no minimum and is free over $70. Check your address on the delivery page and see how delivery works. Schedule early, since the day will be busy for everyone.
Making It a Date
- Cook together, or order in from a favorite local restaurant.
- Plan something simple to do afterward, such as a movie, music or a game.
- Take a walk Downtown in the afternoon, before the evening. See things to do near CREAM.
- Keep the lights low and your phone away.
Same Day as the Big Game
Valentine’s Day shares a Sunday with the big football game this year, so expect busy restaurants and deliveries. See Big Game Sunday planning.
