Cannabis enthusiasts are no strangers to the wake and bake —the concept of smoking cannabis shortly after waking up. In fact, according to a 2017 global drug survey, a whopping 21.9% of American cannabis users subscribe to the practice by smoking a joint within an hour of waking up — the highest rate of any nation. They’re followed by Mexico (18.4%), Greece (15.9%), Canada (14.9%), and Brazil (14.3%). Clearly, wake and bake is a familiar part of cannabis culture across the world and there are reasons why it’s so popular.
