Day 1: Wake & Bake in the Windy City
Morning: Sunrise on the Lakefront + Sativa Boost
Start your journey at dawn along Lake Michigan’s lakefront trail. Find a quiet bench to watch the sunrise while puffing on a pre-roll of White Durban from nuEra Chicago, a cerebral sativa that sharpens creativity. While Chicago has strict public consumption rules, a discreet vape or edible offers a respectful workaround.

Step into a time warp at The Green Mill, Chicago’s most iconic jazz club. A few discreet hits of Sour Diesel beforehand can enhance the auditory trip, adding depth to the upright bass and sax solos.
