Buckle up for a cross-country culinary high.

1. Lowell Cannabis Cafe (Los Angeles, CA)

Pioneering the on-site consumption scene since 2019, Lowell Farms in West Hollywood is where farm-to-table meets flower-to-fork. Diners pair strain-specific small plates—like truffle fries or herb-crusted salmon—with a vast selection of house-grown buds, all enjoyed in a chic lounge with ocean views. The vibe? Effortlessly upscale, with bartenders who know their sativas from their sedatives. Pro tip: Time your visit for sunset happy hour, when the golden hour glow pairs perfectly with a CBD-infused mocktail.

2. The Herbal Chef (Multiple Locations, Nationwide Pop-Ups)

Chef Chris Sayegh's brainchild is less a restaurant and more a traveling euphoria—private dinners and pop-ups that turn any venue into a cannabis canvas. Think multi-course masterpieces like THC-laced lobster ravioli or CBD-spiked chocolate ganache, dosed with precision for balanced bliss. Available in cities from NYC to Miami, it's the ultimate for intimate gatherings. As Sayegh puts it, "We're not just cooking; we're curating highs." Book ahead—these sell out faster than a dispensary drop.

3. Euphoria Kitchen + Kocktails (St. Louis, MO)

St. Louis's first fully infused lounge, opened in 2025 by mother-daughter duo Tiffany Marsh and Alexi Snipes, blends soul food with subtle highs. Membership ($25/night or $150/year) unlocks a menu of THC-tinged comfort classics: think fried green tomatoes with a delta-8 glaze or peach cobbler spiked with CBN for that dreamy wind-down. The speakeasy-style space hums with live jazz on weekends, making it a Midwestern gem for elevated evenings. Waiver required, but the vibes? Pure, unfiltered joy.

4. Pleasure Med Cannabis Cafe (Los Angeles, CA)

Tucked in Hollywood's heart, this 21+ haven serves up infused elegance without the pretension. Executive Chef Lauren Kooper crafts dishes like cannabis-infused wagyu sliders and matcha lattes laced with full-spectrum oil, all while you puff in the open-air patio. Yelp raves call it "the ultimate date spot for discerning stoners," and with rotating art exhibits and sommelier-level strain pairings, it's easy to see why. Bonus: Their happy hour flights are a steal at $40.

5. NuWu Cannabis Marketplace & Tasting Room (Las Vegas, NV)

Vegas's largest Native American-owned dispensary doubles as a tasting paradise, where you sample edibles alongside bites like infused sushi rolls and craft cocktails. The 24/7 lounge overlooks the Strip, offering a hazy haze over blackjack tables—minus the casino smoke. It's not traditional fine dining, but the sheer variety (over 100 infused options) and zero-tax perks for tribal sales make it a Sin City must. Pair a delta-9 gummy with their signature poke bowl for neon-lit nirvana.

6. Astor Club (New York, NY)

Astor Club has also gained a noteworthy reputation in the entertainment industry with many popular celebrities becoming a fan of the club’s services and delicacies. You need to have exclusive membership to access the lounge area. A super skilled cooking team present mouth-watering cannabis-infused dishes and also offer a range of assorted cannabis-infused desserts.

7. Hip Hemp Cafe (Philadelphia, PA)

Philly's OG CBD lounge, founded by cannabis advocate George Martorano, keeps it simple and satisfying: bagels slathered in hemp-infused peanut butter, smoothies swirled with full-spectrum tinctures, and salads dressed in terpene-rich vinaigrettes. The no-frills vibe honors the city's gritty roots, but the wellness focus—think anti-inflammatory elixirs—elevates it to cult status. Grab a seat at the counter for people-watching and pair your nosh with a house-brewed kombucha high.

8. Pop Cultivate (Los Angeles, CA)

For bespoke bliss, this chef collective turns private events into infused art installations. Led by a squad of six culinary wizards, they customize menus—say, a THC-truffle risotto or CBD-ceviche tasting—for weddings, corporate gigs, or solo soirées. It's not a brick-and-mortar, but their pop-up prowess has made them LA's go-to for "ganja gastronomy." Science-meets-sizzle: Every dish is lab-tested for potency and plated like a gallery piece. Your high, your rules.

9. Eden (Chicago, IL)

Windy City's elevated eatery hosts the legendary Four Twenty Experience—a four-course cannabis symphony by Chef Devon Quinn, blending local bounty with precise infusions. Imagine seared scallops in a sativa sauce or chocolate torte with indica undertones, all in a sleek, modern dining room. The 2025 edition sold out in hours, but walk-ins snag brunch bites. It's fine dining with a forbidden fruit twist, proving the Midwest can hang with coastal cool.

10. Cannabis Supper Club (West Hollywood, CA)

SoCal's secret society for sophisticates, this members-only enclave delivers seasonal, strain-paired feasts in a velvet-draped den. Expect ever-rotating hits like heirloom tomato tart with microdosed THC butter or lamb tagine infused with earthy indicas—each bite a collaboration between top toques and master extractors. The ambiance? Whispered conversations and ambient beats, like a speakeasy for the enlightened. Entry's exclusive, but once inside, it's pure, plated poetry.

As legalization lights up more states, these spots are just the spark—proof that cannabis cuisine is no longer counterculture, but the cutting edge.
