Martha Stewart Shares the Details on Her Cannabis Pairing Party With Snoop—Including How to Score an Invite

While the idea of attending a cannabis pairing dinner party curated by Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg might sound like a fever dream, it can become your reality, thanks to BIC EZ Reach and SWED. The companies are collaborating to host an intimate dinner party with cannabis-infused mocktails and delicious dishes on April 17th in West Hollywood, California. If this sounds like your cup of tea—eh, cannabis, you can purchase tickets on a first come, first served basis on April 10 at BIC.com. (Set your alarms!)

Martha's plan for the the decor and menu
Ahead of the dinner, we chatted with Martha about the party planning process. While she and Snoop wanted the event to take place on 4/20 for obvious reasons, "It's Easter, so it's going to take place on the 17th so people can be with their children and the Easter Bunny," she says. Of course, Martha had a say on the decor and the dishes that will be served. "There will be white linen tablecloths with crystal and silver, and you'll probably be getting something like delicious baby lamb chops ... with brown butter polenta. And there will be cannabis-infused mocktails," she explains.

We asked Martha a few questions we'd love to ask her at a dinner party. Here's what she had to say about the smell of cannabis (she likes it!), putting her phone on "do not disturb" (she hates it!), and things she's learned from her friendship with Snoop (so many).
Martha's Wise Words On...
Cannabis
While Martha credits Snoop for all the cannabis-related trends, she says she uses her lighters for other things. "I'm not a traditional user of cannabis," she reveals. "I use my lighters for lighting my candles—natural beeswax candles that smell delicious—and for the flambéing of the alcoholic beverages." But that doesn't mean she can't enjoy herself at a cannabis fête. "I like the smell, OK? I don't mind the smell of weed at all, and so I sort of enjoy it," she says.

What she's learned from Snoop
When I asked Martha what she's learned from her friendship with Snoop over the years, she had a lengthy list. "Oh, well, so much!" she shares. "Not only about music and being introduced to all the musicians—like, I wouldn't know who Lil Yachty was. And so I've gotten to learn a lot about the music, and I really like rap a lot," she adds.

Martha says that Snoop has also taught her about fashion. "Snoop fashion, which is extraordinary and very chic, actually," she says. And while Martha Stewart may be the original creator of "lifestyle" content, she's learned a more low-key approach from Snoop. "I learned just a kind of casual lifestyle that I would have never known otherwise, you know?" Martha says.

Her best-kept skincare secret
When it comes to her beauty routine, the 83-year-old credits washing her face in the morning and before bed for her great skin. "Use the very best products on your face that you can find that agree with your type of skin," she recommends. "I use sunscreen every single morning, all over—I use a tinted moisturizer from Alastin."

Why she never puts her phone on "do not disturb"
"I'm a bad relaxer, I think," Martha says. "I'm still running a business. I have lots of obligations, so to get disconnected is pretty hard for me. I can get disconnected by about 9:00 at night, and probably till about 7 a.m.," she shares. But don't assume that she's putting her phone on do not disturb. "I have a family; what if my daughter had to reach me? I think it's kind of a weird thing that you're even able to disconnect like that. I don't like being disconnected. By the way, if I did use do not disturb, I wouldn't have gotten the phone call from Snoop Dogg the other night, at like, 1:00 in the morning." (Spoiler: she didn't pick up because it was a FaceTime and she had already washed her face.)

Her top dinner party hosting tip
The queen of hosting shared her best tip: "Don't try to be too clever with your guest list. If you're inviting somebody that you really think is very special, think of people who would get along with that very special person," she says.

And the #1 hosting mistake to avoid
"Also be very nice when the guests arrive, to make sure you include everybody in introductions. When you have to go and introduce yourself in somebody's house, I think that's really bad." We're taking notes for our next dinner party!
