Gratuitous Food Porn: 4/20 Edition
Yes boys and girls, brownies are officially amateur. If you decided not to ring in the year’s chillest holiday with everyone else at Coachella, at least revel in knowing you actually have access to a kitchen and can whip up any of these bad boys whenever you damn well please. Well, after this hit. Maybe.

2. Cannabis Mac and Cheese
Not actually a recipe, all the photos featured here by Lew Robertson were commissioned by the fellows behind Deep Green for its 2nd annual Earth Day celebration last year. They probably didn’t even try them, since the disclaimer on their page reads “These images and recipes are to educate and entertain, we do not in any way condone the use of prohibited substances.” Riiiiiiiggghttttt.
