Embrace the munchies like never before
It’s been proven that smoking a joint, hitting a bowl, or downing an edible is known to cause two major effects in virtually all consumers (aside from a serious spell of the dry mouth and suspiciously red eyes): intense bouts of creativity, and an even stronger case of the munchies.
In honour of the legalization of cannabis quickly approaching on Oct. 17, the Fulcrum thought we would combine the cleverness and hungriness experienced mid-high to create something truly beautiful for all our stoners: the unofficial guide to the most peculiar but tastiest high snacks to cure even the strongest case of the munchies. All you’ll need is a few common kitchen essentials and, of course, some weed.
