Unless you’re an east coast transplant, chances are, Super Bowl LI means nothing to you — well, other than hitting parties.

While pairing craft beer and snack food is standard protocol on game day, often overlooked is weed — especially for cannabis patients.  After all, you know how many former NFL players use cannabis to treat chronic pain?  A lot.

So, whether you’re a true fan, or just in it for the commercials and Lady GaGa, here’s the best snacks and cannabis combos on Super BOWL Sunday.

PIZZA

BLUE DREAM

A sativa-dominant hybrid, Blue Dream combines full-body relaxation with gentle cerebral invigoration.  Paired with pizza, this daytime strain provides the perfect balance a the long snap.

 

NACHOS

NORTHERN LIGHTS

A pure indica, Northern Lights has psychoactive effects that settle throughout the entire body, relaxing muscles and pacifying the guilt you feel after eating a whole plate of nachos.

 

WINGS

FIRE OG

Hot Wings requires a fire strain, and Fire OG is said to be the most powerful of the OG Kush family.  With an insanely high THC level, this indica dominant hybrid will keep you on the couch the entire game, and possibly the next day.

 

CHIPS & GUAC

JACK HERER

There is NOTHING better than a killer plate of Chips&Guac, so pairing it with a high that is happy, bubbly, and euphoric is crucial.  If marijuana was an avocado, it would be the sativa strain Jack Herer.

BBQ

SOUR OG

Since BBQ is a hybrid of meats, a 50:50 sativa/indica hybrid is the right call on the 50 yard line. A cross between OG Kush, Blueberry and Sour Diesel, Sour OG creates a peaceful easy feeling while being in a giddy mood — kinda like good BBQ, amirite?
