How to put out a great weed board for your next party
No more rolling joints in the bathroom or sneaking to the backyard for a sly puff—now that cannabis is legal in Canada, you can go ahead and share it with the same care and attention you’d give to a cheese board, a charcuterie platter, or a selection of spirits. Call it what you want: a rolling station, a cannabis cabana, or first stop on the fun train, but a weed board is exactly what you think it is—a selection of cannabis products presented for sharing.
Below you’ll find suggestions for tailoring your weed board to different types of parties, but first, some general advice:
Variety is key
The same strategy that makes for a stellar cheese board or a bang-up cocktail bar applies here—offer a variety of options so guests can choose their own adventures according to preference, tolerance, and intention.
Consider ‘the rule of three’
There’s a concept among writers called ‘the rule of three’, the idea being that three characters are better than two. Jack and Janet need Chrissy to make the company, and there’s no magic to Harry and Ron without Hermione, or so it goes.
What is a party but a story waiting to be told? Cast yours well by offering a minimum of three choices. You can’t go wrong with one high-THC product, one balanced or 1:1 option, and a low-to-no THC or microdose option.
Accessories help
Just as a selection of cheese demands tiny knives and crackers, an array of weed needs tools for processing and consuming. Which accessories you should present depends on the cannabis you’ll be serving, but it’s not rocket science: if you’re offering a selection of pre-rolls, put out an ashtray and lighters, or hemp wicks if you’re feeling fancy. If you prefer to supply buds, then a rolling surface, grinders, papers or pipes, and tools to help pack and prepare the pot will be appreciated. Serving infused pudding? Spoons and serviettes, please.
