Are You High? Read Our Best Weed Stories of 2016

At MUNCHIES, we know that weed and food go hand in hand. 2016 has revealed that pot can and should be more than an addition to brownie batter. Chefs and mixologists alike have been doing some seriously creative shit with marijuana, especially in states where it's been newly legalized. Take a hit of our favorite weed articles from the past year.

First up, the most LA thing we can imagine: a three-course meal with wine and weed pairings. Each dish's tasting notes are meant to complement a corresponding joint. "Let's be real," says one of the guys responsible for this dinner. "Cannabis and chefs go hand in hand."

That being said, you don't need a fine dining experience to get stoned off your supper.

We've put together this handy guide to the basics of cooking with weed—it's Edibles 101. Once you've got the fundamentals straight, you can start getting creative. Lucky for you, we've also got a solid archive of pot recipes.

And what's the bougiest food you could possibly infuse? Foie gras, of course. We got this infused liver recipe when shooting an episode of our series Bong Appetit, and it's exactly as indulgent and amazing as it sounds.

All that being said, sometimes weed just doesn't belong in food. Like when a mom in Ohio found some bud at the bottom of her 4-year-old's box of fries. Wendy's, you wilin'.

Even if you're not about eating your weed, you can still make bank selling it. We certainly don't know anything about that, but this chef does. In fact, he's keeping the lights on in his restaurant by dealing—do what you gotta do, dude.
