It was a typical Saturday in Manhattan’s Union Square. The farmer’s market vendors were packing up and with only an address in hand, I arrived at my very first Rosebud Supper Club event. After walking up 3 flights of stairs (I totally missed the elevator a few steps away) behind an industrial door, the familiar scent reminding us while we’re all here served as a prelude to an entire vibe.


An open layout, hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows and flowy white curtains, the private venue was reminiscent of an oversized apartment of a 90’s movie set in New York City. With nearly a dozen dinner tables set to perfection, guests looked around in astonishment at how elegant the space was.


Over one hundred people gathered to explore the possibility of luxury consumption in the world’s largest cannabis consuming city. Joints were lit and pillows of smoke outfitted the space. For a person used to hitting a joint in an alley outside of the bar, this event was a complete 180. Guests represented every corner of the globe, and aisle for that matter. Some were from the DeBlasio Administration, others the Department of Justice. I met serial entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and fashion designers. Attending the dinner made me feel excited to be in a part of the country that’s on the cusp of legalization.


Throughout an eight-course meal, guests feasted on a family-style menu of infused foods. The featured THC strains of the evening were: New York Sour Diesel, Birthday Cake and Forbidden Fruit. Prepared by The Happy Chef NYC, delicate notes of cannabis could be detected in the vinaigrette of the summer salad while there were no traces of it in the seared chicken thighs. The strawberry shortcake was absolutely perfect, warranting at least two slices by most of the crowd.


As we nibbled on cannabis-infused beef tartar, ricotta toast, and sipped on infused gin-cocktails, some of the crowd mingled and networked. In all honesty, the majority of the guests were all lined up for the opportunity to explore RoseBud NYC’s pop up dispensary. Those familiar with Rosebud NYC can only imagine how awesome this experience was.

Discovering all of the ways that cannabis can be consumed was my favorite part. I never thought I would have enjoyed tasting cannabis in butter/chicken sauce. I thought of how I would love to experience cannabis dinners with friends. Attending opened my eyes about how entertainment and dining may look once full legalization takes place.




The privacy of the venue made the dinner that much more alluring. New Yorkers love the feeling of exclusivity. Since cannabis is yet to be legalized in New York, the event offered a Prohibition feel. Rosebud Supper Club gave a sneak peek of what the world of open cannabis consumption. Mysterious and sexy, even when cannabis becomes legal the speakeasy approach may be a marketing position we’ll see.

Weed Makes Me Introspective: When Cannabis Causes Us to Reconsider Our Life Choices

Pot Prompts Self-Reflection

Being stoned comes with a wealth of side effects – some of which are just part of the fun, while others have been known to get smeared all over a person’s psyche, causing them to gawk out the window every thirty seconds to see if the cops are coming up the stairs.

Perhaps the least discussed byproduct of the bud, however, is its uncanny ability to send the user into a maddening state of introspection. Cannabis can make individuals more attuned to their bodily sensations, emotions, and inner thoughts, which can contribute to this introspective state. Weed can often inspire the high-minded to start questioning their life choices, setting them on a path of self-doubt, self-loathing, and self-destruction.

Sex on Shrooms: How to Prepare Yourself

If you've tripped on psilocybin (a.k.a., magic mushrooms) before, you're already well aware what an intense experience it can be. And if shrooms can take an average activity like listening to music to an entirely different universe, you can probably imagine what sex on shrooms might feel like.

As intense and amazing as mushroom sex can be, it can also be an incredibly negative experience if you're not careful. Most psychotropic substances are best experienced when you curate the right set and setting, and sex on magic mushrooms is no different.

The Truth About THC Candle: Cannabis Candles & How to Make Your Own

There are several different ways to consume cannabis, and some of them don’t even involve actual consumption. Cannabis candles are beginning to take over the candle game, allowing cannabis enthusiasts to enjoy the smells they’re used to having to cover up and hide: the danky goodness of weed.

As cannabis becomes less stigmatized in modern culture, people are beginning to come out and admit to their cannabis use. While smoking weed used to be something people felt they had to keep on the down low, the culture is becoming increasingly mainstream and the scent is now sought after rather than condemned. Many cannabis candles feature complex scent profiles, including notes of amber, which contribute to a rich and layered aromatic experience.

Iranian Weed: Epic Mag Strain

The sprawling mountains of Iran bloom with native flora every year: elms and ironwood trees, tulips and daffodils, even something called Dwarf Eelgrass. But scattered throughout the forests and flowerbeds, like in neighboring Afghanistan and Pakistan, another flower has been thriving for thousands of years: cannabis.

Through Iranian genetics sourcing, cannabis in Iran is collected from specific regions, emphasizing the unique and wild plant varieties. Mag Landrace is just one of the Persian nation’s homegrown strains, beloved for its intense indica effects, deep green and purple hues, and abundance of trichomes, resins and oils that make it ideal for smoking and hash-making. It’s finally in the states and available for patients and casual users alike to discover and delight in, and here’s why.
