4/20: Snacks to Satisfy the Munchies

The Internet is abuzz with ideas for theme foods and twee crafts to celebrate Easter.

But folks in Colorado, Washington State, and MediCali have another big holiday on their hands: Sunday happens to fall on 4/20, national pot smoking day, and that means it's not just the big-time tokers who will take this opportunity to get in to the green spirit.

Bud hobbyists and first-time smokers alike tend to come out in droves for this day.

So we thought we'd create this handy party-hosting guide to make sure that the less experienced amongst you can stock your cabinet so full of viable munchies (like Funfetti Cookies), you could host Willie Nelson, George Clinton AND the Parliament Funkadelic without having to make an emergency Taco Bell run.

Take a look at these toker treats as you try out that Red Velvet Cookies Recipe:

A 711 staple, the Slurpee is your friend when you're stoned.

A 711 staple, the Slurpee is your friend when you're stoned.

2. Waffle Taco

Finally! We understand the reason the Waffle Taco REALLY exists. It's for all those who spend the night baked and then need a bite!

3. Fried Chicken

Fried chicken is best served, well, fried chicken is best. Try it cold! You'll like it.

4. Cocoa Krispies

Mmmm. Cocoa Krispies! Just remember the snap, crackle, and pop aren't REALLY in your living room.

5. Sour Patch Kids

Sour Patch Kids can be purchased by the pound on Amazon. You're welcome!

6. Cookies

Oreos, chocolate chip, peanut butter. Whatever the variety, these little circles of sweetness will hit the spot.

7. Jello

This Jello is channeling its inner Bob Marley for 4/20. It's your kind of Jello.

8. Hot Pockets

Hot Pockets come in so many varieties that no matter your craving, there's something for you! Stock the freezer!

9. Bagel Bites

Bagel Bites are mighty tasty! Just be careful because they'll totally burn your mouth, and that might harsh your mellow.

10. Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Grilled cheese sandwiches are simple, timeless, delicious works of art. If you see Jesus or the Virgin Mary, you might want to check your stash.

11. Funyuns

Funyuns are basically only good when you're high. That's a fact.

12. Doritos

Doritos, the nacho cheesier the better, are the perfect munchie foods! Watch out for the orange-stained fingertips or you'll totes give yourself away.

13. Doughnuts

Being high is an excuse to eat a dozen doughnuts all by yourself, isn't it? Yes, it totally is.

14. Bacon Cheeseburger

The bacon cheeseburger. Mmmm mmmm good. Because bacon.

15. White Castle

Harold and Kumar didn't have an adventure to White Castle for no reason!

16. Sour Belts

Sour belts, cousin to the Sour Patch Kids, can also be bought in bulk on Amazon. Again, YOU'RE WELCOME.

17. Candy Bars

Miniatures or full-size, you can't go wrong with candy bars!

18. Ice Cream

Ice Cream, soft-serve, scooped, on a cone, in a bowl, with sprinkles or without, would make an excellent choice!

19. Inside the Fridge

Just raid the fridge! Whatever's inside is good for the grubbing!

20. Potato Chips

Potato chips leave less signs that they've been there than Doritos and they don't stink like Funyuns. Keep some on hand just in case!

Stoners eat like pregnant women. That's basically all you need to know. We've all heard the old adage "never go grocery shopping hungry," right?

Well, multiply that times one million for going grocery shopping high.

Before you know it you've got a cart full of things like cookie dough in a tub, frozen giant pretzels, mustard in four flavors, pre-made cream cheese frosting, and omigod you know what would go so good with this?

Grape Shasta and Orange Sherbet.

Whether you're celebrating with a few close friends or the grand opening of your dispensary, the key to keeping your palate happy on this epic holiday is - say it with me - VARIETY.

So get creative! What's in your kitchen cabinet? OF COURSE you can mix Cocoa Krispies with chocolate pudding. That's one HELL of a high-dea...

These 20 celebrity stoners will be joining you in the festivities.

"You knowz mofo be rollin' up summa dat dank ass sticky-icky-icky and gettin' fizaded off the bubonic chronic right muthaf--kin' now." Uhhh, what Snoop said.

"You knowz mofo be rollin' up summa dat dank ass sticky-icky-icky and gettin' fizaded off the bubonic chronic right muthaf--kin' now." Uhhh, what Snoop said.

2. Willie Nelson

Willie Nelson has been arrested more than once for his love of the Mary Jane. He's 80 years old. Can't we all just leave the man alone!

3. Matthew McConaughey

Alright, alright, alright. Neptune and your mama and surfing and all that other stuff he talked about during the 2014 awards season sort of seems like he's stoned ALL THE TIME.

4. Chris Brown

Pot normally mellows people out, right? Looks like maybe Chris Brown should smoke MORE of it instead of less.

5. Rihanna

If you follow Rihanna on Instagram you know she doesn't really keep her love of Laughing Grass a secret.

6. Jenelle Evans

Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans would rather GO TO JAIL than submit to random drug testing while on probation. That's...dedication? She also (allegedly) smoked up while pregnant with her second child. And probably her first.

7. Lindsay Lohan

After multiple stints in rehab, Lindsay Lohan can't quit the reefer. Or the alcohol. And maybe not even the harder drugs that ruined her career AND her looks.

8. Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger, body builder, actor, and former governor of California, gave a frank interview where he talked about smoking up.

9. Bill Clinton

Governor Bill Clinton said he never inhaled during interviews on his way to the White House. He also said he did not have sex with that woman, for whatever that's worth.

10. Ryan Lochte

If you've ever heard Ryan Lochte give an interview, the fact that he practices the puff, puff, pass as much as he does the butterfly stroke comes as no surprise.

11. Jeff Bridges

The DUDE! The Big Lebowski quotes make this more than just an assumption.

12. Brooke Mueller

Brooke Mueller, ex-wife of Charlie Sheen, prefers hard drugs like her former spouse. In a pinch, weed will do.

13. Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus proudly proclaims that she smokes the Sweet Leaf and blasts pictures of marijuana all over her Bangerz tour. The show itself kind of seems like one big hallucination, so maybe she's doing more than just mariuana.

14. Bobbi Kristina Brown

Bobbi Kristina Brown might have married her sort-of brother but before that she was making bong videos.

15. Chace Crawford

Chace Crawford might be a lesser-known actor who sort of looks like Ian Somerhalder, but that didn't keep him out of the slammer for possession of marijuana.

16. Woody Harrelson

All the dirty hippies love the hash, right? Woody Harrelson is no exception.

17. Zach Galifianakis

Zach Galifianakis is blazing trails on light night television, probably while being baked.

18. Jennifer Lawrence

Paparazzi caught Jennifer Lawrence and The Hunger Games costar Josh Hutcherson getting ready to get high on a balcony in Hawaii.

19. Justin Bieber

When Justin Bieber was arrested in Miami, he told cops he had been smoking pot. That explains some of his crazy behaviors. He's just having fun, right?

20. Michael Phelps

Another Olympian who likes to get high, Michael Phelps was busted smoking pot between the 2008 and 2012 Summer Games. He also became the spokesperson for Subway. Coincidence?
