The novelty of being able to drink THC-infused beverages is proving to be wildly popular in the new adult use recreational market, especially beverages that mimic wine or beer (but, to be clear, absolutely no alcohol can be present in any beverages that contain cannabis).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"9V5hZFN9rKl0NIaVcfsOGBx3ZpTec3W4\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cannabis and beverages were definitely a hot topic at August’s second Wine & Weed Symposium in Santa Rosa, with CannaCraft’s CEO Bill Silver giving the opening remarks and celebrating his company’s release of Hi-Fi Hops in partnership with Lagunitas that week (more on that below). With Constellation Brands—which owns big beer, wine, and spirits brands, including Corona and Kim Crawford—investing $190 million and then another cool $4 billion in Canada’s Canopy Growth (the world’s largest medical cannabis company), you can bet this is just the tip of the iceberg for cannabis beverage innovation and releases. You’ll see many new beverages hitting the Colorado and Nevada legal markets too, but here are five of the latest Californian and compliant cannabis beverages to try.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>A note on consumption:\u003c/b> if you are new (or returning) to cannabis, you should know that psychoactive effects can occur from consuming around 2 to 2.5mg of THC. 2.5mg is a good place to begin, you can always consume more later—give yourself a couple hours to see how you feel after a first dose. Keep it low and go slow. With beverages, they tend to have a quicker onset. You can expect to start feeling a bit lifted and euphoric effects around 10–15 minutes or so (although everyone is different, so give it time).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"hqTHMAMYpcvThHmuTWYiG1RDP4RNmAsz\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At 10mg per bottle (and more), some of these beverages are built to share, especially if you’re just getting started exploring cannabis. Here’s one of my favorite tricks: if you’ve had enough but want to save the rest of your beverage, try putting the leftovers into ice cubes in big silicone trays (divide it equally so you have an idea of dosage), and you can enjoy them later.

This nonalcoholic beverage is made with IPA-inspired, hop-flavored sparkling water by Lagunitas and is then infused with sun-grown cannabis by CannaCraft. The line of Hi-Fi Hops includes one can with 5mg of THC and 5mg of CBD (perfect for beginners and microdosers, especially since CBD helps mitigate the effects of THC), while the other can features a dose of 10mg of THC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s an easy synergy of flavors from and between cannabis and hops, which is why Lagunitas and AbsoluteXtracts partnered last year on their one-off SuperCritical ale release.

What’s remarkable about this faux beer is that it’s carb-free and has zero calories, so there’s no beer bloat, but it certainly has its own kind of buzz. It comes on quickly—I started feeling a little pleasantly fizzy in my head after 10 minutes of drinking the 5mg version.

Manzanita and Madrone’s brewmasters have over 40 combined years of experience with craft and herbal beverages, which makes these small-batch sodas a cut above others with their refined technique and quality ingredients. For example, instead of using chemicals like sodium benzoate, they use quillaja bark extract (native to Chile) to emulsify their premium, CO2-extracted THC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ginger root has a great bite and kick (mellowed with a touch of tropical sweetness from pineapple), while the lemon-lime is super quenching like a Sprite. The flavorful and spiced natural cola is made using kola nut, which incidentally is the origin of the term “cola.” Since these sodas are made with respect to their ingredients’ medicinal properties, I recommend trying the ginger when you’re fighting a cold (you can even warm it up), and the grapefruit seed extract in the cola has antioxidant benefits.

The Citrus Original soda is sweetened with cane sugar (but still has 1/3 fewer calories than a can of Coca-Cola), while the Citrus Zero Sugar is sweetened with stevia and erythritol (a sugar alcohol substitute). As someone who prefers cane sugar over substitutes (like stevia), I’d stick with the original, but to each their own.

Each can contains 20mg of CBD, enough to deliver relaxed and calm feelings (it’s chillax in a can). These sodas would come in handy after work or a workout, when you want to unwind at home, or even when a hangover strikes. The sparkling lemon tea (which is caffeine-free) made my four-hour road trip a mellow affair (it’s also built for an Arnold Palmer).

They taste delicious right out of the bottle (just keep an eye on your consumption) or over ice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Find The Fizz stockists \u003ca href=\"https://www.manzamadrone.com/copy-of-contact\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://drinkdreamin.com/\">California Dreamin’\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130209\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-130209\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/08/CA-Dreamin-4pack-e1535493991994.jpg\" alt=\"California Dreamin’ has a line of four fruity, THC-infused sodas.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1279\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">California Dreamin’ has a line of four fruity, THC-infused sodas. \u003ccite>(mymilligram.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This new line of bottled sodas from couple Amy Ludlum and Peter Bishop features four flavors: grapefruit, tangerine, pomegranate, and cranberry apple.

Each bottle contains a friendly 10mg each, using a concentrate of sativa-dominant strains, so the experience is uplifting and perfect for daytime recreational use (like hanging out with friends and listening to music).

The Citrus Original soda is sweetened with cane sugar (but still has 1/3 fewer calories than a can of Coca-Cola), while the Citrus Zero Sugar is sweetened with stevia and erythritol (a sugar alcohol substitute). As someone who prefers cane sugar over substitutes (like stevia), I’d stick with the original, but to each their own.

Each can contains 20mg of CBD, enough to deliver relaxed and calm feelings (it’s chillax in a can). These sodas would come in handy after work or a workout, when you want to unwind at home, or even when a hangover strikes. The sparkling lemon tea (which is caffeine-free) made my four-hour road trip a mellow affair (it’s also built for an Arnold Palmer).

"content": "\u003cp>The renegade spirit of San Francisco’s underground suppers and pop-ups from about 10 years ago is back, although now there’s something decidedly aromatic in the air, and it’s not just the smell of meat grilling or bread baking… It’s another kind of bake: the unmistakable wafting of cannabis. All over the Bay Area (and beyond), private dinners and events mingling food and the consumption of cannabis in many of its myriad forms—from edibles to vapes to good old-fashioned joints—are the latest hot ticket, and you won’t find a seat on OpenTable (yet).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"CFq50cN3iSZAYyjfA1i9RjUJWIevXCjM\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether you’re new to cannabis, gently returning to it after a break (all those bong loads you had in your twenties are a hazy memory), or are already a daily toker, there’s a spot for everyone at the table. Some chefs infuse cannabis into their dishes, while others prefer to host smoking sessions before and during dinner and keep the food non-medicated—and some do it all, so you’ll need to keep at least one (bloodshot) eye on your consumption. You’ll find cannabis dinners that are equally focused on wine pairings, while others want to primarily highlight the cannabis pairings—both for the various effects and aromatics—and may even forgo serving alcohol entirely. Just don’t geotag the location in your Instagram post—many of these events are on the downlow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the end of cannabis prohibition in California in 2018 and legalized recreational marijuana coming in hot, it only makes sense these kinds of events are on the rise in the food-obsessed Bay Area. But with rec comes regulation, so many of the fun and free food events, like “dim sum and dabs” in the back of \u003ca href=\"http://www.harvestshop.com\">Harvest on Geary\u003c/a> in their private lounge space will be discontinued for now—the bountiful sampling lineup of free vapes, dabs, and joints from sponsors and partners can no longer be offered to recreational customers in order to be compliant. (It was fun while it lasted!) But since medical marijuana card holders can still receive samples, here’s hoping Harvest's food and cannabis events will continue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many dispensaries with lounges and on-site consumption are in a wait-and-see period about future events as they sort through the recreational regulations and licensing—and prepare to handle a massive onslaught of new customers. For example, \u003ca href=\"http://www.magnoliawellness.org\">Magnolia Oakland\u003c/a> is the only Oakland dispensary with an on-site consumption license, and they host a number of events, including cooking classes. They say they plan to get some events going again by February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"rnVoE11BCCqniCiHj2CGQCWFPU4Oqqly\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps some ticketed/paid-for food and cannabis events at dispensaries will be able to return in time, but for now, it’s all about underground dining—and knowing where to look. Larger events that involve cannabis require a special permit, but San Francisco’s renegade spirit will have to predominate for small food events and dinners since there isn’t a permit for them—they’ll have to stay underground for now. And alcohol presents another layer of complication, since the two are not allowed to be served in the same location. (I’m hearing some events may move to BYOB.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sophistication and presentation of food can be a little all over the map at some canna events, especially for food-savvy San Franciscans, but the novelty of smoking and ingesting cannabis while dining with a fun crowd can outweigh critiquing the chef’s brunoise too closely. You’ll see a wide range of culinary training, and cannabis experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the most established, reputable, and thoughtfully curated cannabis dinner parties in San Francisco is \u003ca href=\"http://cannaisseurseries.com\">\u003cstrong>The Cannaisseur Series\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>, from founder and chef Coreen Carroll and her husband, Ryan Bush. They score high on the adorable and friendly scale (they are such lovely hosts), and are dedicated to knowing all of their guests’ dietary needs, cannabis experience level, and preferred dosage ahead of time. You’re in great hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent event, the location was revealed to ticket holders the day before the event, and each guest needed to present a medical marijuana/MMJ card to enter. In 2018, Coreen says they are going to just have it be 21 and over, with no card required (for now), but this could change in a couple months. It depends upon what their sponsors and event partners will eventually prefer (for people to have their MMJ card or not)—so everyone is just figuring things out as they go along. It’s truly the wild west right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their latest location in San Francisco featured a well-shielded patio where we could all dine outside and smoke the paired joints and vapes freely throughout the meal, although those who wanted to smoke a cigarette kindly puffed elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_124234\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-124234\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0366-new.jpg\" alt=\"Lightly dosed appetizers were passed to guests during the reception.\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0366-new.jpg 1280w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0366-new-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0366-new-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0366-new-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0366-new-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0366-new-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0366-new-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0366-new-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0366-new-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0366-new-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lightly dosed appetizers were passed to guests during the reception. \u003ccite>(Marcia Gagliardi)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The reception featured passed and low-dose bites (2 mg each and clearly labeled), like spinach arancini with gooey smoked mozzarella inside that you could dip into a bright tomato sauce, and sesame-Brussels sprout slaw on rice crackers, a thoughtful choice for vegans and gluten-intolerant folks.

We all know we’re here to hang out and party and it feels like there’s already a barrier removed in interactions—people are warmer, and really connecting. And certainly animated.

Listening to forty creative guests who were obviously starting to feel good was beyond entertaining (and engaging): each description ranged from the quirky to the charming to the loving, a grab bag of favorite cannabis strains, horoscope signs, professions, and personality traits. (Mine was “Champagne Italo-Americana disco!” in case you were wondering. Go ahead, think about yours!)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This evening’s Holiday Soirée Dinner—on a Saturday smack dab in the middle of December—inspired Coreen to craft a menu of holiday celebratory dishes from many cultures. No menu for this one—just buckle up and enjoy the ride, kids. The first course was in honor of Hanukkah, which included a trio of latkes, each with their own topping (ranging from crème fraîche with kelp roe and chives to another with shallots and apple schmear), and canna leaves inside too (her “herbaceous” touch, used for flavor but not for psychoactive effect). Coreen is passionate about using the whole plant (she grows too!), and as a chef is so inspired by the array of flavors cannabis offers, from salty to sour to sweet, depending on the strain and maturity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_124235\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-124235\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0377-new.jpg\" alt=\"The trio of latkes featured cannabis leaves as an herbaceous note.\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0377-new.jpg 1280w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0377-new-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0377-new-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0377-new-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0377-new-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0377-new-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0377-new-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0377-new-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0377-new-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0377-new-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The trio of latkes featured cannabis leaves as an herbaceous note. \u003ccite>(Marcia Gagliardi)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The latkes were paired with joints and Pax vapes loaded with Sour Diesel flower (21% sativa) from The Betty Project and presented on trays to each table.

And then there was Miss Feather Boa making the rounds, and other friendly minglers. It was such a bohemian and fascinating and lively scene. I caught a glimmer of the San Francisco I fell in love with when I first moved to the city in 1994, layered with a louche Weimar Republic vibe. People were so funny and kooky and showing up however and whoever they were, and the conversations were all over the map—everyone was flyin’ high, and laughter played a big part of the soundtrack. There were some definite tokers—but even lightweights like me weren’t pressured or felt self-conscious. Everyone has their own speed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next course of wild boar sausage stew—served in deep bowls with kale and sweet potato and a dreamy rabbit stock—was the perfect big party strategy; vegetarians enjoyed a version with tamari-based stock, equally rich with umami and depth of flavor.

Munchies in effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_124237\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-124237\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0386-new.jpg\" alt=\"The Gruyère and chive gougères were popular (obviously).\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0386-new.jpg 1280w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0386-new-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0386-new-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0386-new-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0386-new-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0386-new-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0386-new-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0386-new-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0386-new-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0386-new-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Gruyère and chive gougères were popular (obviously). \u003ccite>(Marcia Gagliardi)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A guest who had attended previous Cannaisseur dinners (they have a tribe of repeat guests!) explained Coreen and Ryan carefully map out the guest’s canna journey for the evening, like in this case starting with a lively sativa-dominant strain, keeping in mind the reception’s edibles should be kicking in soon thereafter, which is when they timed a CBD pairing. It was designed to downshift the intensity, just when the party reached a rather feverish pitch of swirly chatter and laughter (CBD can dial the effects of THC down)—we were offered Park Life CBD sublingual strips from Kin Slips and AC/DC flower from The Betty Project. I definitely appreciated the CBD pairing—I was getting a little cuckoo, and you should see my notes at this point, they were rather cryptic (and there’s no canna Rosetta Stone to help me decipher them).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main dish was a wintery quail ballotine, with black truffle oil salad and puréed beets (with CBD), while vegetarians enjoyed a red pepper pasta stuffed with sweet onion and Swiss chard in a sage and brown butter sauce. I was so high I could barely focus on eating, honestly it was quite a challenge. It’s one thing when you’re at home scarfing a quesadilla in a stony munchies frenzy, but dining on an elegant dish while carrying on multiple conversations with so many interesting people—and hey, look, that joint is back—took an extra level of attention. Food writer challenges at a cannabis dinner are real.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The night kept chugging: there was a fascinating talk on terpenes from Dr. Paul, and Amber from Leisure Life shared details about her infused products (and the treats she had for us in the goodie bag, including her California Rolls: Red Congolese prerolls dipped in kief).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_124238\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-124238\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0414-new.jpg\" alt=\"The finale: stollen bread pudding!\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0414-new.jpg 1280w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0414-new-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0414-new-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0414-new-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0414-new-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0414-new-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0414-new-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0414-new-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0414-new-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0414-new-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The finale: stollen bread pudding! \u003ccite>(Marcia Gagliardi)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Coreen pulled out all the stops for dessert, inspired by her German heritage and making a stollen bread pudding, fermented with rum and it was all tangy and decadent with cardamom caramel sauce and Gorilla Glue hydrosol bourbon vanilla cream—the poppyseed ice cream got all up in my grill but I didn’t discover that until I got home. Ha-ha! Everyone’s bowls were enthusiastically devoured. I fantasized about curling up in it (I blame the final pairing of indica Sherbet). Some folks wrapped themselves in the fuzzy blankets provided, but the patio remained quite cozy throughout the night, magically protected from the wind. Such a treat to look up at the night sky during a meal. (Stony observations.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dinner was priced at $150, and considering the absolute abundance of food, cannabis, and scintillating company, let alone the gift bag they sent us home with (thanks sponsors!), it’s well worth it. This is not just a pop-up dinner—Coreen and Ryan have crafted a total experience, greater than the sum of its parts, with so many details to make their guests comfortable and happy. They’ve been doing this for a few years, and it’s not easy to keep a venue full of stoned kittens (somewhat) in the box and on track, but it’s clear they know what they’re doing, and they have an experienced front of house staff to take care of everyone as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sign up for their newsletter for announcements of future dinners (like their \u003ca href=\"http://cannaisseurseries.com/events/\">Winter Wonder event\u003c/a> on Sunday January 28th, celebrating the end of cannabis prohibition!) and subscribers not only get first crack at tickets, but they get a $20 discount (for a limited time) as well.

All over the Bay Area (and beyond), private dinners and events mingling food and the consumption of cannabis in many of its myriad forms—from edibles to vapes to good old-fashioned joints—are the latest hot ticket, and you won’t find a seat on OpenTable (yet).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether you’re new to cannabis, gently returning to it after a break (all those bong loads you had in your twenties are a hazy memory), or are already a daily toker, there’s a spot for everyone at the table. Some chefs infuse cannabis into their dishes, while others prefer to host smoking sessions before and during dinner and keep the food non-medicated—and some do it all, so you’ll need to keep at least one (bloodshot) eye on your consumption. You’ll find cannabis dinners that are equally focused on wine pairings, while others want to primarily highlight the cannabis pairings—both for the various effects and aromatics—and may even forgo serving alcohol entirely. Just don’t geotag the location in your Instagram post—many of these events are on the downlow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the end of cannabis prohibition in California in 2018 and legalized recreational marijuana coming in hot, it only makes sense these kinds of events are on the rise in the food-obsessed Bay Area. But with rec comes regulation, so many of the fun and free food events, like “dim sum and dabs” in the back of \u003ca href=\"http://www.harvestshop.com\">Harvest on Geary\u003c/a> in their private lounge space will be discontinued for now—the bountiful sampling lineup of free vapes, dabs, and joints from sponsors and partners can no longer be offered to recreational customers in order to be compliant. (It was fun while it lasted!) But since medical marijuana card holders can still receive samples, here’s hoping Harvest's food and cannabis events will continue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many dispensaries with lounges and on-site consumption are in a wait-and-see period about future events as they sort through the recreational regulations and licensing—and prepare to handle a massive onslaught of new customers. For example, \u003ca href=\"http://www.magnoliawellness.org\">Magnolia Oakland\u003c/a> is the only Oakland dispensary with an on-site consumption license, and they host a number of events, including cooking classes. They say they plan to get some events going again by February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Larger events that involve cannabis require a special permit, but San Francisco’s renegade spirit will have to predominate for small food events and dinners since there isn’t a permit for them—they’ll have to stay underground for now. And alcohol presents another layer of complication, since the two are not allowed to be served in the same location. (I’m hearing some events may move to BYOB.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sophistication and presentation of food can be a little all over the map at some canna events, especially for food-savvy San Franciscans, but the novelty of smoking and ingesting cannabis while dining with a fun crowd can outweigh critiquing the chef’s brunoise too closely. You’ll see a wide range of culinary training, and cannabis experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the most established, reputable, and thoughtfully curated cannabis dinner parties in San Francisco is \u003ca href=\"http://cannaisseurseries.com\">\u003cstrong>The Cannaisseur Series\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>, from founder and chef Coreen Carroll and her husband, Ryan Bush. They score high on the adorable and friendly scale (they are such lovely hosts), and are dedicated to knowing all of their guests’ dietary needs, cannabis experience level, and preferred dosage ahead of time. You’re in great hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent event, the location was revealed to ticket holders the day before the event, and each guest needed to present a medical marijuana/MMJ card to enter. In 2018, Coreen says they are going to just have it be 21 and over, with no card required (for now), but this could change in a couple months. It depends upon what their sponsors and event partners will eventually prefer (for people to have their MMJ card or not)—so everyone is just figuring things out as they go along.

Listening to forty creative guests who were obviously starting to feel good was beyond entertaining (and engaging): each description ranged from the quirky to the charming to the loving, a grab bag of favorite cannabis strains, horoscope signs, professions, and personality traits.

Go ahead, think about yours!)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This evening’s Holiday Soirée Dinner—on a Saturday smack dab in the middle of December—inspired Coreen to craft a menu of holiday celebratory dishes from many cultures. No menu for this one—just buckle up and enjoy the ride, kids. The first course was in honor of Hanukkah, which included a trio of latkes, each with their own topping (ranging from crème fraîche with kelp roe and chives to another with shallots and apple schmear), and canna leaves inside too (her “herbaceous” touch, used for flavor but not for psychoactive effect). Coreen is passionate about using the whole plant (she grows too!), and as a chef is so inspired by the array of flavors cannabis offers, from salty to sour to sweet, depending on the strain and maturity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_124235\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-124235\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0377-new.jpg\" alt=\"The trio of latkes featured cannabis leaves as an herbaceous note.\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0377-new.jpg 1280w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0377-new-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0377-new-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0377-new-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0377-new-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0377-new-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0377-new-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0377-new-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0377-new-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0377-new-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The trio of latkes featured cannabis leaves as an herbaceous note. \u003ccite>(Marcia Gagliardi)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The latkes were paired with joints and Pax vapes loaded with Sour Diesel flower (21% sativa) from The Betty Project and presented on trays to each table.

I caught a glimmer of the San Francisco I fell in love with when I first moved to the city in 1994, layered with a louche Weimar Republic vibe. People were so funny and kooky and showing up however and whoever they were, and the conversations were all over the map—everyone was flyin’ high, and laughter played a big part of the soundtrack.

It was designed to downshift the intensity, just when the party reached a rather feverish pitch of swirly chatter and laughter (CBD can dial the effects of THC down)—we were offered Park Life CBD sublingual strips from Kin Slips and AC/DC flower from The Betty Project.

Since it’s the holidaze, here are 12 edibles I got to road test and taste at The Emerald Cup that I’d love to see under the tree. Please check each product site to find out which dispensaries and delivery services carry them since Santa is too busy getting presents to the kids to check your medical card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether you’re interested in ingesting cannabis to help with a variety of medical conditions, or you are just excited to try it recreationally and unwind a little, edibles are now a great way to explore different measurements and discover your tolerance level and preferences.

You know how disgusting most granola bars and energy bars can be, let alone when there’s some dank cannabis in the mix, but these protein bites (and protein bars) are nicely chewy, savory, and packed with superfood ingredients, while being gluten-free, dairy-free, and GMO-free, and they’re lab-tested. No funky sawdust here! The Bites are made with almond butter and chocolate chip, hemp protein, and the magic comes from RSO (Rick Simpson Oil) and Sour Diesel cold water hash–infused organic coconut oil. Zing! The package contains two 1:1 bites, with 10 mg of THC and 10 mg of CBD each (so maybe nibble half of a bite first and wait a couple hours, unless you know you prefer a higher dose, because you might start believing you really did see Santa).\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On the third day of Canna Christmas, my Netflix and chill buddy gave to me:\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.omedibles.org/menu/\">\u003cstrong>OM Supermood Cannabis Infused CBD Raw Cacao\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_123585\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0128-new.jpg\" alt=\"OM Supermood Cannabis Infused CBD Raw Cacao\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"size-full wp-image-123585\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0128-new.jpg 1280w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0128-new-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0128-new-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0128-new-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0128-new-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0128-new-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0128-new-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0128-new-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0128-new-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0128-new-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">OM Supermood Cannabis Infused CBD Raw Cacao \u003ccite>(Marcia Gagliardi )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Yeah, that’s right.

This San Francisco company makes quite a quality product, they’re so fluffy and feature gourmet flavors like brown butter sage and raspberry-rose lychee, but it’s the holidays yo and time to bust out the peppermint bark (and not a version Williams Sonoma would ever make—yet). Each Mellow contains a low dose of 5 mg of THC, made from premium single-origin Red Congolese sativa, so you get a little boost of euphoria and elation. The holidays are just marvelous, aren’t they?

Speaking of the stoner way, they are “crafted through a high vibrational process using premium ingredients, which are further activated by Positive Intentions.” Yeah man!

There is a THC or CBD version, made with organic and fresh ginger, turmeric, black pepper, cinnamon stick, Manuka honey, almond milk, creamed coconut, CBD-infused coconut oil, Moringa tea, and sun-grown cannabis sourced from Honeysuckle Lotus, also from Mendocino. This one will be a little tricky to track down, but hopefully some Bay Area dispensaries will start to carry this extraordinary beverage. For now, I will just have to dream of it.

The package contains two 1:1 bites, with 10 mg of THC and 10 mg of CBD each (so maybe nibble half of a bite first and wait a couple hours, unless you know you prefer a higher dose, because you might start believing you really did see Santa).\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On the third day of Canna Christmas, my Netflix and chill buddy gave to me:\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.omedibles.org/menu/\">\u003cstrong>OM Supermood Cannabis Infused CBD Raw Cacao\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_123585\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0128-new.jpg\" alt=\"OM Supermood Cannabis Infused CBD Raw Cacao\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"size-full wp-image-123585\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0128-new.jpg 1280w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0128-new-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0128-new-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0128-new-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0128-new-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0128-new-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0128-new-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0128-new-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0128-new-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/12/IMG_0128-new-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">OM Supermood Cannabis Infused CBD Raw Cacao \u003ccite>(Marcia Gagliardi )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Yeah, that’s right.

About a month ago, they added a menu of CBD infused cocktails, mocktails and beer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re working at the Flore to create the first cannabis restaurant in San Francisco, where cannabis is integrated into the dining experience in any way that will be appropriate,” Alan said. They can’t make any medical claims about their drinks, but he said that the customer response has been positive. “Some people have said, ‘I had that bunch of beers and usually I would get up in the morning and not feel very good, and I woke up and felt great.’ During the experience of drinking the cocktails or the CBD beer, what we found was that the mental change that happens when you drink alcohol is moderated and affected by the CBD.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alan also pointed out that the drinks have a special significance for the neighborhood-- their drinks wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Peron\">Dennis Peron\u003c/a>, who started the long fight for legal medical marijuana in the nineties by providing it to AIDs patients at his “Castro Castle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Curry, his cannabis cocktails are a Trojan horse. In his opinion, drinking can be a more dangerous social activity than consuming marijuana. He wants to do his part to show that weed can provide the same social function as alcohol, and even offer some added health benefits. But to do that, he has to meet people where they are, with a cocktail in hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The biggest thing that [drinkers] are getting is the opportunity to socialize [with] cannabis,” he said. “And they’re talking and they’re laughing and they’re still doing the same things that they would be doing if they were holding a $47 glass of Chenin blanc.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People weren't getting weird,” he added. “No one smoked. Because it’s about dinner--it’s cocktails and dinner.”\u003c/p>\n\n",
