Chopped 420

List
Portland-born, Los Angeles-based comedian Ron Funches will step in as the host of this weed-centric cooking show inspired by Food Network's Chopped. Like its predecessor, the contestants—all up-and-coming cannabis chefs—will be tasked with dishing up an appetizer, entrée, and dessert using unpredictable ingredients, this time with weed- or CBD-infused flair. Will the judges (chef Esther Choi, drag performer and cannabis activist Laganja Estranja, chef Luke Reyes, chef Sam Talbot, and comedian Tacarra Williams) get too stoned to form coherent sentences? Watch and see.

This monthly dispatch from Portland-based Broccoli Magazine editors Lauren Yoshiko and Mennlay Golokeh Aggrey is like a smoke session with your most scholarly stoner friends. They've taken a bit of a break, but you can scroll through their archives at your leisure for takes on cannabis in the digital space, cultural appropriation in the weed industry, and interviews with industry experts who represent marginalized voices. Needless to say, the magazine is also worth a subscription for gorgeously illustrated articles on cannabis culture.

OTHER MUNCHIES
Eem
Like
List
The smash-hit spot's comforting fusion of Thai cuisine and Southern barbecue is ideal for intoxicated consumption. As The Portland Mercury's Andrea Damewood wrote, "Eem is the restaurant equivalent of Lizzo: infectious, critically and commercially acclaimed, and addictive AF. You cannot go wrong in ordering, from the hot fried cauliflower to the divine brisket in white curry to the fried rice with burnt ends. And both the cocktails and mocktails are some of the best in town—my favorite piña colada, made with coffee and salt to keep it from being too cloying, is on the menu again."

List
This relatively new Berliner-style donut shop is co-owned by Portland-based chef and cannabis pro Leather Storrs, also known as the co-host of Netflix's Cooked with Cannabis, so it's safe to say it's culinary weed expert-approved. And the out-of-the-box flavor combinations, like maple bacon butterscotch or pimento cheese with hot honey and sesame seeds, are downright stoner-friendly.
