Celebrate Football With Weed: Tailgating Cannabis Essentials

With Thursday Night Football coming in the city, it’s time to think about a proper tailgating. And a decent tailgating includes cannabis because why not? Everything, from infused barbecue to full-on football dab rig, will make your football party much, much better. Here’s a list of the cannabis tailgating essentials.

Team-Themed Strains

Yep. There are some! Take, for example, beautiful hybrid Beastmode OG, named after Marshawn Lynch, a legendary runner back for Seahawks, now back in his hometown team, Oakland Riders. Fans of college football can opt out for UWand WSU. If you happen to live in Oregon, don’t miss discounts for the die-hard Ducks fans.

Cannabis-Infused Popcorn

Lucky Cardinals fans will have fun with Sublime Caramel Popcorn or Karmel Korn from Arizona-based Cornucopia. For Chargers, Rams, Raiders, and 49ers fans, there is delicious California-based Korova’s White Cheddar Popcorn charged with whipping 300 mg THC per bag. Pro tip: Mix a sensible portion of THC-infused popcorn with a non-infused stuff — it will prevent you from overconsumption.

Dipping Sauces

Don’t want to cook? No problems! Dip your snacks in a potent sauce like the Ranch or Blue Cheese dressings from GanjaEats. Don’t miss their Jalapeño Slices, too!

Barbecue Sauce

Making chicken thighs or pulled pork? Use some original recipes from barbecue chef Ryan Swartling — for example, Lemon Haze Barbecue Pulled Pork or Gochujang Hatch Pepper Sativa Barbecue Chicken. Burgers, ribs, and more? Of course! Try Oregon-based Wild Urban Edibles’ Wild Urban BBQ.

Terpene Ales and Hemp Brews

What is tailgating without beer? If you’re in California, try famous Lagunitas’ new SuperCritical Ale, brewed with cannabis terpenes. Unfortunately, it’s only available on tap in California, but you can find other cannabis-minded beers, like Two Flowers IPA with CBD and hemp-infused concoction.

Vape Pens

Try disposable vape pens: Evolab’s Chroma Colours from Colorado, Washington’s IONIC, and Oregon’s silver Quill. You won’t regret.

Cannabis Coffee

A combo of cannabis and caffeine goes long ways. Opt out for cold brews — they provide better effects and tend to taste richer. Try Mirth Provisions’ sativa-infused Legal Coffee Mocha or SF-based Somatik. For colder seasons, check out hot cocoa options like Skyline Boulevard Co. Cannabis Cocoa Mix.

Glass With Team Spirit

The last, but not the least — get a pipe or a bong with a team spirit! You will find them in the local dispensaries or on Etsy.
