The Best High-End Edibles in the Pacific Northwest

Courtesy of Daniel Zilcsak / Northwest Clicks

As it often is with trends that straddle the line between delicious and ridiculous, the Pacific Northwest is at the bleeding edge of the artisanal marijuana edible wave. Despite the fact that recreational edibles have only been legal in Washington and Oregon a few short years, if you can dream it, there’s probably a version of it with cannabis available at a local dispensary. From a morning bowl of cereal to a scoop of ice cream after dinner, here are the sweetest and savoriest marijuana edibles of the Pacific Northwest. As always, consume artisanal foods responsibly. —Alexander Basek

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. Of late, Chalice chef Danielle Henyon has teamed up with Stumptown Coffee to create a Dark Chocolate Mocha Bar. As any Portlander will tell you, a Stumptown collaboration is de rigeur for chefs and brands ‘round these parts. chalicefarms.com

Crafted by Laurie Wolf, the woman that the New Yorker recently dubbed the “Martha Stewart of marijuana edibles,” these cheese crisps are some of the best savory edibles currently available in the PNW. Wolf is a regular winner at the Dope Cup, which is, like, the James Beard Awards for marijuana. laurieandmaryjane.com

Honu Turtles

Honu is Washington State’s top turtle maker in the cannabis category, and not just because its logo is a turtle of a different sort. Come for the turtles with a pretzel on top, stay for the s’mores and coconut snowballs. honu-inc.com

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. Until then, there’s Portland Premium Surreal, a sweet cinnamon and sugar blend that is like a bowl of Wheaties for creative types. portlandpremium.com

Made with Rainier cherries—yes, like the mountain—Mirth’s Legal Cherry Soda is an example of truth in advertising and a tasty beverage. Mirth recommends drinking it while “riding through the clouds on the back of a mythological beast,” but the ready-to-drink soda with all-natural ingredients pairs just fine with a cheeseburger, too. mirthprovisions.com
