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. 🍳 🍨 Appearance The buds of PanLato display a vibrant spectrum of green, often interlaced with amber pistils and a layer of glistening trichomes. The dense, well-formed nugs have a sticky quality, hinting at the high resin content and terpene richness typical of its Gelato lineage. Status Curing. Aroma PanLato has a captivating aroma profile featuring sweet, earthy undertones that balance hints of citrus and pine. The aromatic layers come from its diverse terpene profile, with noticeable influences from beta-caryophyllene and limonene, creating a pleasant mix of spiciness and citrus zest. Flavor The flavor of PanLato is smooth and sweet, with earthy and slightly piney undertones that blend with hints of herbal and fruity notes. This strain delivers a gentle taste on the inhale, transitioning to a mild sweetness on the exhale with a touch of spice, likely attributed to the presence of beta-caryophyllene and humulene. Lineage PanLato descends from the popular Gelato  strain, known for its balance and calming effects. While the exact other parent remains unknown, it is speculated to be Pan Dulce , which would contribute to PanLato’s smooth and sweet qualities.

Strain : Titan Express Dispensary : Grassroots   Market : Maryland Recreational Overall Rating : 8.9/10 Lean : Sativa Aroma One of the newest strains to come out of the Grassroots in-house breeding project is a freight train of cannabis excellence. Before the seal came all the way off, the strong terps were jumping out of the jar. For anyone who remembers Lemon Grenades or Memory Loss by Grassroots in the past, this is about as close as you can get. Each inhale gave a citrus-forward smell with a sharpness about every secondary note that was impossible to stop going back in for more. The familiar smell of lemon ice pops stood out to me the most, only existing for a moment before my nose was stung by a rubber cement and pine forest air freshener note that was too hard to ignore – largely attributed to the GMO driven Modified Muffins parent. After I pulled the buds apart for more inspection, the undeniable smell of citronella showed itself and the complexity just kept growing for this amazing cultivar.  Appearance The buds that I got in my jar were all substantial in size, with 4 total being in the 8th. As I’ve said before, I’m a fan of lighter trim work on the flower, subscribing fully to the mantra “it’s better to have it and not need it”. The flower in my Titan Express jar was exactly that. Some slight bract work was noticeable on the larger buds, but the sugar leaf that was left behind did an amazing job protecting the trichomes underneath and keeping all the good stuff intact. The flower itself also had a very responsive bounce back when squeezed and was a bit more on the spongy side than the dry side when it was grinded up. Because of its stickiness, it was extremely easy to roll into my joint and held its structure perfectly throughout the whole process.  Flavor Anyone looking for a full sativa experience from start to finish needs to get their ticket punched for the Titan Express. This strain radiated citric aromas, and the flavor takes that torch and carries it proudly. Every single note of flavor lead with a citric note and many of my exhales had a nice touch of honey flavoring to them that stuck around on my tongue long after I was done the joint. More subtle flavors of pepper, basil and gas were present, but all were overshadowed by the Citradelic Sunset parent – with a charred lemon peel influencing every other flavor and truly becoming the coal that powers the engine of flavor. (Yes, I’m going to beat this train analogy to smithereens, so what?) Lineage Titan Express is a cross of Citradelic Sunset RV06 and Modified Muffins # 10 that runs sativa dominant. Experience As anyone would expect, the majority of what I experienced from Titan Express was indicative of a sativa strain. With a rapid onset and mental/physical stimulation, I knew I was in for a treat about 10 minutes after I took my first pull. I could feel my legs becoming stimulated and my mind became laser focused on singular thoughts that felt meditative at times while I was up doing things. Seeing the high Terpinolene levels, I knew what I was in for but was happily surprised when things stayed smooth the entire duration of my high. Definitely earned itself a space in my stash as a go-to sativa.  Want to also thank Erin at the Curaleaf in Columbia for helping me out when I went in to grab this one!  *Medical cannabis is for certified/qualifying patients only.

Strain : Cherry AK-47 Dispensary : RISE Market : Maryland Recreational Overall Rating : 9.3/10 Lean : Sativa Dominant Initial Thoughts 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 lives up to its high-powered moniker. Cherry AK-47, cultivated by Grow West and now available at RISE Dispensary in Silver Spring, MD, is a rare and potent phenotype of the legendary AK-47 strain. With sativa-dominant genetics and a complex mix of aromas, it's designed to hit hard and fast—much like its namesake, albeit in a much more relaxing fashion. 🔫 Appearance This batch of Cherry AK-47 is visually gorgeous, almost as if its buds have been polished to a metallic sheen. A dense layer of silvery trichomes gives the flower a frosted look, while rich hues of green, brown, and gray are intertwined with fiery red pistils. Some batches even take on deep purple accents, reinforcing the "cherry" theme in both name and appearance. It’s a sticky, resinous bud that looks like it’s loaded with flavor and potency. Status Fresh. Aroma Pop the lid on the jar and you're immediately greeted with a bold, complex fragrance. The initial burst is a sweet cherry scent mixed with earthy undertones. But wait—there’s more. Hints of creamy sandalwood, mint, and even a slight diesel kick round out the bouquet. Some noses might pick up on a bit of overripe fruit funk, adding an interesting depth to the profile. It’s a scent that makes an impression, much like the first few notes of a heavy rock riff. Flavor The cherry-forward aroma translates smoothly into the flavor, though the sweetness takes a backseat to the skunky, woody, and slightly spicy notes that define the smoke. On inhale, expect a rich, almost creamy cherry essence with undertones of pine and sandalwood. The exhale, however, introduces a mild diesel tang, leaving a lingering aftertaste reminiscent of a spicy herbal tea. There’s a smoothness to it that keeps you coming back for more—assuming you can handle the punch this strain packs. Lineage Cherry AK-47 is a rare phenotype of the classic AK-47 strain, which itself is a blend of: Colombian Mexican Thai Afghani This global genetic mix results in a sativa-dominant hybrid (approximately 70/30 sativa-to-indica ratio), offering a balanced yet cerebral experience.

Strain : Spiked Peach Dispensary : Story - Silver Spring Market : Maryland Recreational Overall Rating : 9.1/10 Lean : Indica Dominant Hybrid Initial Thoughts 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 characterize the overall high itself as "spiked" - it's all smooth sailing and full of relaxation. So much so, in fact, that it'll have you thinking everything is just "peachy" in no time. 🍑 Status Fresh Aroma Open the pack and you're immediately hit with a funky, spicy, slightly fruity combo. There's definitely ripe peach notes in there, but they are quite subtle. Soon after an edge arrives: beta-caryophyllene (0.42%) brings a peppery bite, humulene (0.15%) adds woody depth, and linalool (0.16%) slips in a lavender hush. The total terps sit at a modest 1.07%, but they punch cleanly - no muddiness, just a zesty bouquet with a kick. Flavor The inhale is pure summer nostalgia: hints of juicy peach intertwined with wildflower notes roll across the tongue. Mid-pull, that caryophyllene spice snaps in like cracked black pepper on fruit salad, while humulene keeps it grounded with an herbal tail. The exhale is smooth and surprisingly clean - linalool softens the landing so you’re left tasting a bit of fresh orchard air instead of pepper grinder. Bold yet polite; it never overstays its welcome. Lineage Fade Co. typically keeps the exact parental lineage close to the chest (classic move), but in this case they were able to share that Spiked Peach is a cross of Peach Ringz and Jealousy that runs indica dominant. The execution is tight: fruit expression stays dominant without drifting into artificial candy territory, and the spicy/earthy backbone keeps it from floating away. Bravo. Effects It lifts gently but quickly - within a few minutes the headspace opens up, thoughts feel lighter, colors a touch brighter, like someone turned the saturation knob up one notch. Mood tilts upbeat without forcing a grin. The body follows with a warm, soothing, relaxation that loosens the shoulders and quiets minor noise - great for an afternoon walk around Silver Spring or knocking out chores while humming off-key. No race, no crash, just an easy, functional glow that lasts a solid two hours. Conclusion Spiked Peach is a rare fruit-forward strain that doesn’t sacrifice balance for dessert vibes. It's a clean, juicy experience with enough spice and depth to keep things interesting session after session - much like a sophisticated autumn cocktail. Uncomplicated, reliable, and quietly craveable, it's certainly worth keeping on the Happy Hour menu! *Medical cannabis is for certified/qualifying patients only.

Strain : Pink Passion Dispensary : Goldflower Largo Market : Florida Medical Overall Rating : 9.3/10 Lean : Balanced Hybrid Initial Thoughts At Goldflower Dispensary in Largo, Florida, this Pink Passion caught my eye for its understated elegance—medium spear-shaped buds in a deep purple shade, lightly threaded with orange hairs and coated in a moderate layer of clear trichomes that give it a subtle, sticky sheen. Grown indoors by DH Farms under Doghouse's banner, this hybrid clocks in at 23.6% total THC, hinting at a session that's engaging but not exhausting. Status Fresh Aroma The jar releases a composed fruit profile: tangy notes lead with apple and banana undertones, brightened by a lemon edge that's sharp but not overwhelming. It settles into a mild earthy base, powered by myrcene at 1.73% and ocimene for depth, with a-pinene and linalool (0.236%) contributing a clean herbal note and faint floral trace. With 3.85% total terpenes, it's inviting without being aggressive—a scent that rewards a second inhale. Flavor On the draw, it delivers the aroma's promise: a tangy fruit forwardness with lemon's clean zip, easing into a creamy sourdough nuance that's surprisingly smooth. The earthy finish ties it together without lingering too long, thanks to beta-caryophyllene (0.18%) for subtle spice and beta-pinene (0.0878%) for a hint of resin. It's straightforward and satisfying, the kind of profile that improves with each hit rather than demanding attention. Lineage Bred from Apples & Bananas and Sourdough 1, Pink Passion inherits a vibrant fruitiness from the former—those crisp, layered sweets—and a grounded, tangy complexity from the latter, evoking fresh-baked warmth.
