Super Bowl Sunday is one of the most anticipated American sporting events of the year. Most people look forward to the game itself, the half-time show, high budget ads, and the Super Bowl parties. For those hosting parties, having appetizing snacks during the game is priority number one. Since the Super Bowl lasts at least a few hours, there is a good amount of time to get a good elevated experience using cannabis that can last you all the way into an unanticipated overtime.
Here are some tips on infusing you party snacks:
- Make sure to make non-infused foods- this is for the guests who consume cannabis and have reached their limit and those who don’t consume at all. It may also be a good idea to eat non-infused foods beforehand so the effects of cannabis aren’t too strong.
- Clearly mark infused and non infused foods- this is to prevent unintended dosing and to balance an enjoyable experience for those with different tolerance levels.
- Know how many guests would like to consume ahead of time- any experienced cannabis consumer knows that products can get expensive very quickly. Getting a head count prior to the party may inform you on how many servings of infused snacks you should make available and maximum dosages.
- Dose low- most people go back for more when it comes to snacks. Eating infused snacks 2-4 mg at a time will help when trying to achieve the right high so that guests know when to switch to non infused if need be.
- Plan on leftovers- Since the game lasts a few hours, it is better to have too much food than too little since. Double recipes if needed, especially for non-infused foods.
