Portland Pizza Week Past Event Like List
Though not explicitly a 4/20-inspired event, it's hard to argue that the Portland Mercury's week-long pizza extravaganza featuring specially crafted $3 slices and $20 pies is not a stoner's paradise. Check out all the specials here.

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."

Vegan Junk Food 
Like List This plant-based comfort food spot offers equal-opportunity hedonism for vegan stoners. Janey Wong writes, "The chicky nuggies were very convincing, lookin’ darn near identical to their animal counterpart, and satisfying to this omnivore’s palate. The curly fries that accompanied it were pitch-perfect, but the real revelation was the vegan ranch."
