Glendale Chef Offers Cannabis-Infused Dinner For 4/20 Celebration

GLENDALE, QUEENS — A famed Glendale chef is offering a Prohibition-style, marijuana-infused dinner on April 20.

A select group of foodies and marijuana enthusiasts will have the chance to enjoy a range of mouth-watering, cannabidiol-infused meals at Chef Leighton Knowles' Prohibition: 4/20 Secret Dinner Event. As suits the Prohibition-theme of the night, the location of the dinner will be disclosed on the day prior to the dinner.

Knowles assures people that the dinner will be fully legal since there will no THC in the food — so, don't expect to get high.

Knowles' Culinary Ninja Catering team is pairing up with MileHigh PMP CannaConsulting and Crucial Biology to realize stoners' dreams. The night's three-course meal will be followed by an informative talk on the nature of CBD and its benefits, as a supplement by Matthew Kipp of Mile High PMP. Some of the CBD products discussed will also be on sale.

April 20, better known as 4/20, is the day associated with celebrating marijuana use. The term is rumored to have come into use after a few teenagers used it to refer to their after-school toking sessions. Every year observances are held on Hippie Hill in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, University of Colorado, Boulder's campus and other spots.

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a non-psychoactive component of marijuana and has been found to help with epilepsy seizures, physical pain, arthritis, and anxiety.
