Headed to the Beach?
Does your partner have a beloved breed? Pair it with chips that are infused. Do your friends would rather have a bottle of rosé? Consider a wonderful cannabis champagne instead. You can make a lasting impression becoming elevated in sunlight with your favorite people and our guide to the ultimate cannabis-infused picnic.
You can’t even have a picnic without the perfect picnic snacks. We stuck to our own backyard and shopped Seattle, WA (with a few outliers in between), but many markets offer similar products, so you don’t need to miss out. Here’s what motivated us:
The Food
Fremont Freaks Apple Cinnamon and Salted Caramel Brownies
(Julia Sumpter/Leafly)
An apple a day keep the doctor away, and these apples are the perfect pick. Reach for the Salted Caramel Brownies by Magic Kitchen and transfer your dessert up a level at your next picnic party.

Another Craft Elixirs’ bombshell, Lori’s Roasted Garlic Potato Chips bust out of the infused bite mold with their delicious taste and exceptionally munchable design.

CBD Cannabees Honey by Swifts Edibles
(Julia Sumpter/Leafly)
Picnics and sandwiches go together like cannabis and rolling papers, so we couldn’t get enough of Swifts Edibles’ sweet CBD Cannabees Honey drizzled over creamy peanut butter and fresh banana slices. Luckily, infused honey isn’t restricted to Washington–check your local dispensary for yummy edible goods locally.
My childhood favorite candy is making an appearance in the edibles world, and I couldn’t be happier. So of course, it made a spot on our infused picnic bonanza. These CBD Peach Rings by Flav clock in at 10mg CBD per serving, offering a sweet treat and additional relief.
Available in: Nationwide
The Drinks
Vertus Sparkling Cannabis Beverage by Tarukino
(Julia Sumpter/Leafly)
Celebrating an engagement? A pay raise or promotion? Or maybe you’re just celebrating a beautiful summer day. Whatever your plans, pick up a jar of Vertus Sparkling Cannabis Beverage by Tarukino for something somewhat more lifted than the normal bottle of champagne.
Available in: Washington
Hemp Elixirs by Aurora Elixirs
(Julia Sumpter/Leafly)
Bring along a couple of cocktail supplies or drink it on its own, Aurora Elixirs’ flavorful and wholesome CBD Hemp Elixirs supply herbal infusion in a fresh and smooth mix.
Available in: Oregon
Pain and Wellness Tinctures by Lord Jones
(Julia Sumpter/Leafly)
If you’d instead stick to tinctures than a whole jar of infused goodness, then turn to Lord Jones’ organic Pain and Wellness Tinctures. Free of additives and all the bad crap, choose between zesty lemon or cooling with these CBD powerhouses.
Available in: California (THC products), Nationwide (CBD products)
Aloha Palmer by Ganja Grindz
(Julia Sumpter/Leafly)
Nothing screams summer quite like a refreshing gulp of lemonade and tea. Even better? Ganja Grindz’ blend of the classic Arnold Palmer (their take: Aloha Palmer) staple will get you raised while sippin’ in your go-to drink.
Available in: California and Oregon
Step Two: Pickup the Ideal Strains
What’s a relaxing picnic with friends without a little something to take the edge off?
Lemon Meringue
If you’re directed outdoors, then you’ll want to load up on something somewhat zesty with a burst of energy. Enter the creamy and tart Lemon Meringue. Spark one up with this in your joint and you’ll be prepared for a day playing with the water and chowing down on a fantastic spread.
Pineapple Express
A real classic, Pineapple Express is the perfect chill-out breed for a day out. Light up a pipe and pass it along for buzzy energy that will last all day. Bonus: pair this tropical wonder with Ganja Grindz’ Aloha Palmer (above).
Granddaddy Purple
Need something a little heavier for an additional relaxed picnic by the beach? Reach for Granddaddy Purple to drift off you with the crashing of waves.
Step Three: Love!
(Julia Sumpter/Leafly)
You have your pipes loaded, joints wrapped, and infused raw goods all packed up. All you need now are a few sweet music and the perfect picnic spot. Go forth and enjoy!
