“Our first try tasted awful,” Yannick Crespo says about his marijuana-infused olive oil Pot d’Huile, which debuts later this month at dispensaries around San Francisco. “The cannabis extract didn’t mix with the oil, and the whole thing smelled like a barnyard—not something you’d want to cook with.”
Yeah, we expect medicine to taste bad. So when marijuana was, ehem, purely “medicinal” in California, edible cannabis products could get away with being not so delicious.

Enter Pot d’Huile, which combines what might be the most Northern Californian elements: a cute glass flask with a sleek label containing cannabis extract and hyperlocal extra virgin olive oil from a small family farm—that wishes to remain anonymous—in the Sierra foothills.
