How to Host a Cannabis Dinner Party in Style
Hosting a cannabis dinner party does not have to be a niche activity. It is an act of culture reflective of hospitality and style. When done correctly, it brings culinary trends and cannabis culture together to create a flavorful experience for those invited.
A few essentials
- Theme: Center your dinner party by strains or combinations of strains or course infusions.
- Dosing: Provide dishes infused with low, controlled doses of THC (2-5mg).
- Vibe: Set a chill setting, play some ambient tunes, and make the seating furniture friendly.
Menu Examples
- Appetizer: Infused Guacamole and/or Dips; guacamole created with cannabis oil dressing
- Main: pasta made with cannabutter, roasted vegetables made with cannabis dressing
- Dessert: classical brownies or cannabis mollote
- Drink: mocktail using a CBD beverage or lightly infused THC tea
Protocol and Safety
- Disclose which dishes contain infused cannabis.
- Have non-infused foods available for either guests that do not want it or those who have driven.
- Encourage personal limit and dosages- saying no to heavy alcohol combinations to the event if at all possible
And Beyond
- Pair strains with your meal i.e. fruity strains, like Zkittlez, for dessert
- Share a small education exercise i.e. decarboxylate cannabis or any related terpenes profiles (cannabis terpenes etc.).
- Provide guests with cannabis samples to take home (labeled individually).
In Conclusion
A dinner party is also an experienced connection, feeling, and ritual bringing community together. It could be connected to an art piece, the sharing of stories, or meditative exercise in between courses. Those are the things that can morph an experience into a cultural excursion where ONLY your guests will have stories about for months. Instead of fostering any intoxication within the event, your guests will instead celebrate that evening of food, cannabis, and community.
