Alright, fellow cannabis lovers, 4/20 is here and we’re all set to celebrate. Which means it’s time to stock up on our favourite strains and the best Calgary munchies. Lucky for you, we’ve got the low down on both.

In typical 420 fashion, we’ve been on the hunt for great new strains to smoke on this special day of the year (& beyond). Right on cue, Alberta-born Spiritleaf has launched Spiritleaf Selects, a new in-house brand featuring specially selected cannabis cultivars inspired by what they love to smoke.

Just in time for 420, Spiritleaf has launched its inaugural Spiritleaf Selects strain French Toast #1, which is now in-stores for purchase. We already know that Spiritleaf is home to high-quality cannabis, and the same authenticity and quality are exactly what you can expect with Spiritleaf Selects.

Recommended and developed in collaboration with their trusted and knowledgeable Cannabis Concierges, Spiritleaf Selects French Toast #1 is an Alberta grown hybrid strain with uplifting and balanced effects. The flower has a creamy and earthy flavour with hints of maple syrup, brought to you by its terpene profile of myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene.

And lucky for us, French Toast #1 is now available at Spiritleaf stores  across Calgary. It comes packed in a fully recyclable amber glass jars (3.5 grams per jar) to protect the bud and is sealed with a humidity pack to ensure freshness. With a smooth and sweet taste, French Toast #1 is just the bud to pair with some seriously tasty munchies. 

That’s why we’ve put together a list of some of our fave local Calgary eats to take care of all your 420 munchies.  Now the question is… with the dessert-like notes of French Toast #1, do you eat your dessert before dinner? We say yes. So grab your Spiritleaf Selects French Toast #1 and enjoy our round up of our fave sweet, salty and indulgent munchies.

When struggling to fend off the munchies look no further than a C-Dog, especially a spicy Korean one. In case you’re not familiar with ‘em, let us put you onto your new obsession. Think hot dogs or mozzarella cheese coated in batter (or crispy potatoes) and deep fried to perfection.
