7 of Oregon’s Best CBD Products & Where to Find Them
“If you want your CBD packaged in some of the best chocolate you’ll ever taste, check out the Relief Square from Serra and Woodblock Chocolate. These dark chocolate and sea salt chocolate bars are made from a micro-lot of cacao beans from Trinidad—meaning that the only place you’ll be able to taste this chocolate (which has flavors of fig, marshmallow, raspberry, and pepper) is in this bar. Each bar contains nine 5mg-servings of CBD—just make sure to pace yourself, as they also contain THC (2.5mg per serving).”

“…cross the Willamette River and head to the city’s Lloyd district for the ’70s-stoner vibe of Electric Lettuce, where shoppers might find themselves grooving to Jimi Hendrix’s “Electric Ladyland” or any of the other LPs stacked next to a turntable and wood-grain stereo receiver.”

“Portland is home to the state’s most thoughtfully designed spots, where shops are putting as much thought into interior design as the inventory.

Electric Lettuce Leans into Classic Stoner Culture with a Polished Touch
“Serra knew its high-end approach wouldn’t be everyone’s cup of tea. That’s why it created the chilled-out sister brand Electric Lettuce, which leans into classic stoner culture with a polished touch. You’ll see the same products you see at Serra, like Pruf Cultivar flower, Woodblock Chocolate and Mr. Moxey’s Mints. But the bubble letters and psychedelic paint job embody marijuana’s golden age in American culture.”
This High-End Edibles Startup Targets A New Kind Of Cannabis Consumer
“forward-looking businesses are focusing on what Serra calls the lifestyle approach, targeting “the same person who cares about what kind of wine they’re drinking and where their groceries come from,” Eichenberger explained. That’s why it’s sourcing the highest-quality craft chocolate, made from scratch at Woodblock owner Charley Wheelock’s boutique factory in Portland.”
Serra, a Store for the Cannabis Cannaseur
“For Serra’s flagship location we restored an 1889 storefront in Portland’s Historic Old Town District. The striking space and proximity to Portland’s cultural center were two of the main draws.
