And What Weed to Pair With Them for High-ly Entertaining Adventures

By The Clever Root staff

Summer in San Francisco is a foodie's paradise, and with the right cannabis pairings, it becomes an elevated experience like no other. Whether you're exploring the outdoors, grooving to the beat of live music, immersing yourself in the city’s incredible arts and culture, or satisfying your gourmet munchies, we've got you covered. So grab your favorite cannabis products and embark on a culinary adventure through the sun-kissed streets of San Francisco.

1. Food Crawl at the Ferry Building

Indulge in the delights of San Francisco's famous Ferry Building. Start your day by perusing the certified organic farmer's market, then dive into the artisan food community. Enjoy a Sourdough Rye from Acme Bread Company, sip a cup of coffee from Red Bay Coffee, and treat yourself to unique flavors (Hong Kong Milk Tea and Mango Lassi, among others) of ice cream from Humphry Slocombe. Don't forget to pick up some fancy chocolates from Recchiuti Confection to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Pair that Mango Lassi ice cream from Slocombe with this Deep West Mango from local SF cultivator Fog City Farms to double down on mango - and myrcene!

2. Fresh-Shucked Oysters at Hog Island Oyster Co.

Before leaving the Embarcadero, indulge in the briny goodness of freshly shucked oysters at Hog Island Oyster Co, where super fresh oysters, sourced from just an hour or so north in the Tomales Bay, give you the true essence of the Bay Area’s maritime climate in one single bite. Enjoy a stunning view of the San Francisco Bay and Bay Bridge, savor sustainably farmed oysters, or try the Chipotle Bourbon grilled oysters for a burst of robust, bold flavor. For an extra touch of luxury, pair your oysters with a tin of caviar from Tsar Nicoulai.

Pair a fresh Tomales Bay Oyster with the signature Pink Jesus from Sonoma Hills Farms, which grows sungrown cannabis in the Petaluma Gap, just inland from Tomales Bay. The flower’s sweet robust flavor goes toe-to-toe with the oyster’s brine.

3. Sip Refreshing Cocktails at Rooftop Bars

Mark Twain famously said that the coldest winter he’d ever spent was a summer in San Francisco, but that shouldn’t stop you from taking advantage of some of the city’s most scenic spots! Sip on refreshing cocktails while enjoying panoramic views of the city at hotspots like Dirty Habit, tucked away in Hotel Zelos, The Mission’s casual Latin eatery El Techo, or the chic and elegant Charmaine's, propped atop the Proper Hotel.

Enjoy a low-dose CBD tincture from Care by Design. These high-quality cannabis-derived tinctures come in a variety of strengths, and make for the perfect cocktail topper if a canna cocktail is your speed.

4. Picnic at Golden Gate Park

Start with a stroll down the legendary Haight Ashbury to enjoy the vibes of some of San Francisco’s OG cannabis culture before heading into Golden Gate Park to escape the city buzz and have a delightful picnic. Bring your favorite sandwiches and something sweet, and wash it all down with a cannabis beverage.

Try a Malus Apple Cider for a refreshing, sippable live-resin infused sipper. We love beverages for picnics in the park because they’re discrete - and delicious.

5. Silent Disco Yoga at Baker Beach

Join a yoga class on Baker Beach that lets you boogie down while doing the movement that rejuvenates your soul. Whether starting your day with a wake and bake, or winding down for a chill summer evening sesh, help get into the groove and tune in to the feeling of the sand between your toes by enjoying some cannabis before or after your flow.

Try a Kikoko Creativi-Tea to energize and ignite your yoga practice. This Assam black tea is infused with a blend of THC and THCV for an invigorating effect that’s perfect for helping you find your flow and fly.

6. Outdoor Movie Screenings at Dolores Park

Catch a classic film screening under the stars at Dolores Park as part of the City’s Sundown Cinema series. Pack a cozy blanket, some delectable snacks, and skip the sketchy guy selling bad weed brownies; make your own high-quality edibles and bring them along!

Try San Francisco Chef Monica Lo’s Cannabis Infused Brown Butter Cocoa Rice Crispies, made from infused marshmallow brand, Mellows. Or, just bring the marshmallows and pop them in your mouth. That works too.

7. Explore the California Academy of Sciences

Discover the wonders of the natural world at the California Academy of Sciences. Dive into the mesmerizing exhibits, from the immersive planetarium shows to the captivating aquarium. For an enhanced experience, try a solventless edible half an hour before you get there and let the science blow you away.

Try a Space Gem Mind Expanding Belt, made from premium ice water hash. These are high-potency products for high-potency consumers, so beginners should exercise caution.
