Food Network Biggest Food Trends: It’s 420 Somewhere

“Cannabis (aka marijuana, mary jane, reefer, weed, pot) doesn’t have the stigma it had 5 years ago. People have quietly been eating pot brownies since the 70s and the world’s first legal recreational cannabis shop opened its doors in 2014 in Colorado. It’s sought after for the compound THC (which is psychoactive) and has mood-altering effects. Even though formal federal regulations of THC in food and beverages are not finite, that hasn’t stopped food companies from adding it to products or chefs and bakers from experimenting with different kinds of buds in their dishes. Currently you can order and eat a THC-drizzled pie at Stoned Pizza in NYC or order a custom cannabis cake from Chicago’s Wake-n-Bakery. There are THC-spiked snacks and a non-alcoholic spirit and the 420 Cannabis Cookbook from chef Raul Medina to be released sometime in late 2022. Finding the right dose for you can be tricky, so as these products and dishes roll out be sure to always know how many milligrams of THC are in each serving.”
