Cannabis-Infused Foods

The US is far from legalizing marijuana across all 50 states, but in states like California (where you can grow up to six plants or be commercially licensed), some high-end chefs are incorporating the cannabis compound Cannabidiol (CBD) into their menus. Los Angeles's highly acclaimed Spring Restaurant recently closed but had offered an exclusive pre-fixe "power lunch" centered around CBD-infused dishes, including pea risotto (pictured). In NYC (where weed is not yet legal), The Breslin at the Ace Hotel serves CBD brownies and cocktails, while the James Hotel offers a full CBD menu for room service. The CBD compound is acceptable because it doesn't have mind-altering effects like THC but is said to have calming and stress-relieving properties. We'd try it!
