Cannabis  REVIEWS 

Fade Co. continues to demonstrate why it remains one of Maryland’s most consistent and interesting concentrate producers. Currently in stock at Story Dispensary in Mechanicsville, their latest live sugar and live badder lineup offers a diverse range of profiles — from bold, gassy hybrids to bright, fruit-forward sativas and soothing indicas.

When I encounter space-themed cannabis strains my expectations naturally ascend skyward. However, it's all too often that these high aspi...

Reminiscent of something you might order at a local speakeasy, this Spiked Peach from Fade Co. is currently available at Story Dispensary in Silver Spring, Maryland. As someone who's into peach as a flavor, but not psyched about strains that are too candy-like, I found this batch to be highly enjoyable with just a hint of peachy sweetness. The "spiked" part of the name is justified by both the slightly energetic onset and the funky edge to the flavor. However, I wouldn't char

Animal Face, cultivated by RYTHM, is a remarkable strain making its rounds at RISE dispensary in Silver Spring, Maryland. My awesome budt...

In Hollywood, sequels are often expected to disappoint - lower box office take, watered-down magic, the usual law of diminishing returns. When it comes to cannabis cultivation, however, the opposite is more frequently the case. With the first batch we reviewed of Fade Co's Matanuska Thunder Fuck we found it was perfectly respectable, but it carried this quiet sense the strain had more to give. Then this second run arrived and, we must say, the follow-up is markedly superior.

Here's a really solid batch of Garcia Hand Picked's LA Baker. Currently available at Liberty Cannabis in Rockville, Maryland, it's an ind...

Papa Don, cultivated by Kind Tree and currently available at Remedy Columbia in Maryland, is a hybrid strain born from the fusion of Papa...

Let's be real—Poonesia might be one of the funniest strain names to hit Maryland dispensaries, and it demands an explanation. Is it a pla...

This batch of Snoop Dogg OG, named after the rap legend and cannabis enthusiast Snoop Dogg himself, is the "shizzle". Currently available...

In the crisp midday sunlight streaming through the window, the jar of Super Boof from Fade Co. at Story Dispensary in Hyattsville, Maryland, gleamed like a citrus vault waiting to be cracked. Story, true to its name, always feels like the opening chapter of a good one—staff who know their genetics like librarians know rare editions, shelves curated with narrative flair, and that subtle nod to the town’s creative undercurrent. These buds, at 29.69% THC and a 34.99% TAC, looked

From the moment the seal cracked open, it felt like I had been hit by a citrusy freight train of fruity goodness. The initial burst of le...

Receiving a package of Air Mail from Fade Co. at Story Dispensary in Silver Spring, Maryland, felt like getting a first-class dispatch from the clouds—sealed with a stamp of sophistication and ready to take my senses on a transcontinental journey. The dispensary's seamless service, with staff offering winged wisdom on strains, paired perfectly with Silver Spring's dynamic pulse of urban elegance and green spaces. Unsealing the jar at home, I was greeted by robust, resin-laden

When a strain name includes both "Cherry" and "AK-47," you can expect two things: a blast of fruity goodness and the kind of impact that...

We were very curious about this Pan Lato that dropped recently at Curaleaf in Columbia, Maryland. It's a delectable dessert-like hybrid...

We recently had the opportunity to try this Bubba Fett from Maryland marijuana dispensary, RISE Bethesda. As a fan of both Star Wars and...

Another installment of the “Dark Heart Collection” from Grassroots, Moonbeam Gelato showed up and almost out-Gelato’d all of the other Gelato strains I’ve tried recently. The addition of Strawberry Banana to the fruitiness of the Half Moon Bay Gelato amplified everything that you’d want out of a fruit strain. The strength of the aroma of muddled blueberries and raspberries turned into a strawberry toaster strudel, which turned into a lighter whipped cream, which turned into a

After picking up a slice of this Fade Co. Bubble Bath from Story Dispensary in Hyattsville, Maryland, I decided to swing by a friend’s place a couple miles away. Nestled in one of the town’s tree-lined streets where bungalows hum with creative energy and holiday lights twinkle, her cute abode is always such a cozy place to hang out. Hyattsville’s artsy pulse - evident in the murals splashing color across Route 1 and the indie vibe of local spots like Vigilante Coffee - made t

A luxurious indica strain in every way, this Blackberry Champagne, cultivated by Fade Co., is now available at Story dispensary in Silver...

Looking back on the notes from my last encounter with Matanuska Thunderf*ck I described the overall experience as being"like a yeti on Mountain Dew." Of course, this whole trip down memory lane was spawned when I saw it on the menu over at Story Dispensary in Mechanicsville, MD. It had been a while, but the description was enticing given my current affinity for both Afghani and landrace sativas. This and wonder of wether I could recreate the experience from before made me com

We were very curious about this PanLato that dropped recently at Peake ReLeaf, Rockville. It's a delectable dessert-like hybrid that brings a blend of effects from both sativa and indica qualities. A cross of Gelato with another unknown strain (speculated to be Pan Dulce), this strain is well-suited for those seeking a balanced high that engages mind, body, and palate simultaneously. 🍳🍨
