Super Bowl party picks that bring the THC heat
Sports fans around the world, rejoice—Super Bowl LX is just days away. The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks are set for an epic showdown, with many believing the Seahawks are out for vengeance after losing to the Patriots in the 2015 matchup. Whether you’re watching for the game itself, the historic halftime show featuring Bad Bunny, or the always entertaining commercial lineup, cannabis could make the night that much more enjoyable.

Curating a weed-friendly Super Bowl party is easier than ever, thanks to the proliferation of edibles and a wide variety of devices perfect for seshing. Just be sure to keep the THC close (and properly labeled) if the whole family is attending your soiree—the last thing you want is for those adult-only goods to wind up in the wrong hands.
Pot-infused party snacks to pick up
While sugary weed brownies or cookies used to be the common edibles passed around at parties, the number of savory snacks on the market today means the fun comes in any form. This means you can have both salty and sweet THC goodies at your Super Bowl fete.
Pappy’s Pretzels are the perfect pick, offering several varieties sure to please each pot-friendly guest. From Honey Mustard to Jalapeno Dill and the addictive Bourbon Butterscotch Vanilla, there’s a Pappy’s for everyone. Each pretzel has 1 milligram of hemp-derived THC, but be warned: these tasty morsels go down incredibly easily, and those milligrams can add up quick.
For those in California, Tempo Crackers are the way to go. The precisely dosed snacks are available in several game-day flavors like Buffalo Cheddar, Chipotle Honey BBQ, and Sour Cream & Onion.

Infused cooking ingredients are also wildly popular. An analysis from Green Market Report found a 33 percent increase in orders for these types of products in the week before Super Bowl Sunday.
Consumers in Illinois went wild last year for an infused wing sauce, courtesy of a collab between Chicago sports bar the Fifty/50 and Cresco Labs. Try making your own with some THC olive oil or flavorless powder, which can also be used to elevate your drinks.
Speaking of which, what weed-friendly Super Bowl party would be complete without some infused bevvies? Concoct your own cannabis mocktails or grab some THC seltzers (we’re big fans of Crescent 9, Wana, and Oliphant). And don’t forget the CBD-only crowd. These CBD sparkling waters from Wyld are cool and mild.
Social strains for the squad
Edibles definitely aren’t for everyone; some may prefer to get high the old-fashioned way. If smoking is permitted at your Super Bowl party, be sure to grab some social strains that’ll have everyone cheering.
The effects of weed definitely vary from person to person, but most find sativa strains to be energizing. Classics like Green Crack, Durban Poison, and Haze are sure to please. Having a couple of uplifting hybrids on deck is also a good plan since straight sativas may be too buzzy for some guests. Try MAC or Super High Life for a nice, balanced high.

Execute the perfect play
The Super Bowl is the biggest game of the year, so your smoking gear should match that energy. High-end devices like the Volcano vaporizer or Stündenglass gravity infuser are great for seshing and bring the wow factor. If you don’t have one, clean your nicest bong or pipe and put it front and center. Vapor cup devices are the perfect party addition for fans of vape carts or dabs and are relatively easy on the pocketbook.
If joints or blunts are your preference, be sure to pick up some Mouthpeace filters by Moose Labs. These slick accessories prevent the spread of germs and remove gross gunk-like tar at the same time. Setting up individual rolling stations is also a nice touch.
Cannabis is becoming more common at social gatherings, and gameday is no different. Follow the tips above to score a touchdown at your weed-friendly Super Bowl party—we promise it’ll take the halftime show to another level.
