Serra + Woodblock Chocolate
The birth of this chocolate bar was a true partnership. Portland chocolatier Woodblock handles the chocolate, then sends it to Serra to add the, you know, THC, before selling it at their Anthropologie-chic dispensaries. With instantly recognizable packaging designed by OMFGCO, the bars come in milk or dark chocolate, and as one-offs like hazelnut sea salt bon bons. shopserra.com

More and more cannabis farms now boast executive chefs, grower/dispensaries like Chalice Farms among them.

Leif Goods Mint Hibiscus Bar
Not all cannabis chocolates are created equal. Crafted with CBD instead of THC (i.e., pain relief instead of couch lock), Leif’s Mint Hibiscus Bar is also a fetching shade of fuschia. Yes, the mint is grown in Oregon, with hibiscus provided by the Jasmine Pearl Tea Company. leifgoods.com

Wyld Canna Marionberry
Perhaps the Pacific Northwest-iest gummies on the market, Wyld’s Canna Marionberry gummies come in a hexagonal box with Wyld’s iconic antler logo. Marionberries were created in Oregon; the state grows over 30 million pounds of of them each year. If you don’t have a collaboration with Stumptown, using marionberries is the next best thing for Oregon edible makers. wyldcanna.com
Drip Ice Cream
Drip Ice Cream’s lineup of sweet treats is GMO-free, locally sourced and includes flavors like Honey Lavender. Also, it’s delicious, though purists may opt to skip the vegan flavor—as one budtender told me, “That’s the one you don’t want.” dripicecream.com
Portland Premium Surreal
The breakfast edibles category is surprisingly underserved, and it’s likely to remain that way until a producer figures out how to master hot sauce for eggs.
