Let's talk packaging, because Fade Co. clearly wants us to. The Holy Grail line arrives in a miniature sneaker box - paint-splattered, "for those who know" stamped on the flap, the whole hypebeast liturgy - and inside the jar you'll find a pack of Elements papers and a glass tip tucked alongside the flower like a lace-swap in a deadstock release. It's shameless, and it works. "Holy Grail" is grail-hunter vocabulary, the word sneakerheads reserve for the unicorn pair they'll n

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

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

There's a specific genius in naming a strain Banana Bread, because everyone already has a feeling about banana bread before they've smelled a single nug. It's the food equivalent of a warm blanket — nostalgic, unpretentious, quietly indulgent. Shauncron clearly understood the assignment. Bred during the solventless gold rush, this was his answer to a gap he spotted in the market: a plant that could pump out world-class hash and leave behind gorgeous, flavorful flower instead

I'll confess a bias up front: I am helpless against anything with "Runtz" in its family tree, and Pink Lobster arrives with impeccable candy credentials. This is Cotton Candy Runtz crossed with Blue Lobster — a pairing that sounds less like a cannabis strain and more like the dessert menu at a seaside carnival run by someone with questionable impulse control. Maine Trees, appropriately enough given the name, brings this pheno down to The Flowery in Tampa, and the result is a

By now, Super Boof needs no introduction. Since exploding into 2024's Strain of the Year, it's been damn near impossible to walk into a dispensary without seeing it on the menu — the citrus-and-dark-fruit darling that every grower suddenly had to have. But ubiquity is a double-edged sword: when a cultivar gets this popular this fast, quality and authenticity start to vary wildly from batch to batch and grower to grower. For every jar that captures the original San Diego cut's

Ridgeline Lantz, cultivated by Alt Sol and currently available at Takoma Wellness Center, exudes an impressive pedigree. With its origins...

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

Moon Fog is a strain that has gained quite the reputation in many online forums, grower's podcasts and old smoker’s tables around the country. This indica-dominant strain was bred by Humboldt Seed Company and is one of their newest offerings. It's known to carry a well balanced euphoric high and in some smoke circles is becoming a go to nighttime strain...

Recently harvested by DC craft cultivator Alt Sol, this phenomenal Triple Burger just dropped at Washington DC medical marijuana dispensa...

Upon first glance, Vanilla Velvet from Jungle Boys in St. Pete, Florida, looks like a premium treat—super frosty buds with a vibrant mix of purple and green hues that scream quality craftsmanship. It will undoubtedly lead to potent sessions, but doesn't overwhelm the senses right out of the gate. It's sort of like a velvet rope to a VIP lounge of relaxation...

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...

Triple Scoop from Cookies Jacksonville, is a slightly indica-leaning hybrid with a dreamy lineage and a THC level that’s no slouch. This one has me ready for a flavor party that’s sweeter than a make-your-own-sundae bar. Let’s see if Triple Scoop scoops me into bliss or just melts under pressure...

There's a running joke about Harry Styles' summer smash that the man himself has cheerfully leaned into: nobody is entirely sure what "watermelon sugar" is, only that it sounds fantastic and you want more of it. Fade Co. seems to have taken that ambiguity as a design brief. Their new live resin gummies don't just borrow the fruit - they capture the whole breezy, sun-warmed, slightly-too-good-to-analyze feeling the song trades in, then pack it ten to a tin...

As the name suggests, the Hollywood strain exudes the glitz and glamor of its namesake city. Grown by Alt Sol and now available at Takoma...

What’s better than a dose of love? A Dosi Love—because this one doesn’t ghost you, doesn’t text you back late, and always delivers good v...

As we stand on the eve of the Fourth of July, what better way to celebrate American independence than with a strain literally named after the spark that lit the fuse? Fade Co.’s Boston Tea Party All-in-One live resin disposable is currently available at Story Dispensary locations across Maryland (including Waldorf), and it feels like a cheeky act of defiance against boring vapes everywhere...

This Dual Chamber 3-in-1 Cookies cannabis terp vape, currently available at Takoma Wellness Center, introduces an intriguing level of cho...

I was excited to try one of the newest drops from RHYTHM, Afternoon Delight 4 and I knew that first impressions were going to mean everything. With this being a GMO cross, I was already expecting some funk, but I was pleasantly surprised with how many other notes were present...

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

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

As a longtime DC area resident who has spent far too many evenings hunting for edibles that actually respect both the palate and the nervous system, I’ve grown wary of gummies that promise the world and deliver mostly sugar and regret. Just Flower’s Sour Blueberry, however, caught me off guard in the best possible way. These 10mg gummies (100mg total per pack) strike that rare balance: thoughtful formulation, genuine flavor, and consistent effects without theatrical nonsense.

This Santa Cruz Blue Dream cut is a beautifully bred old school strain that will forever be not only a classic but a consumer favorite. Available at The Flowery's Clearwater dispensary, this batch is exquisitely grown, offering heady, energetic effects and the quintessential Blue Dream flavor to the max. ✨😮‍💨✨

The Onyx Jar is a masterclass in quiet confidence. The matte black cylindrical body feels substantial yet surprisingly lightweight in the hand — the kind of tactile pleasure you don’t expect from a stash container. The glossy black screw-top lid threads on with smooth, precise confidence. There’s no loud “click,” just a clean, secure seal that inspires immediate trust. Vertical copper-toned “KEEFER ONYX” lettering runs down the side with elegant restraint, while the lid is cr

With gas prices on the never ending rise, the best place to grab some premium fuel is actually at DC medical marijuana dispensary, Takoma...

This batch of Jokerz, cultivated by Alt Sol and currently available at Green Theory dispensary in Washington DC, is an indica-dominant st...

Stumbling across HashBurger from GrowHealthy’s MPX Select line in Florida feels like finding a gourmet food truck parked in a dispensary lot—those dense, spade-shaped buds, forest green with amber glows, practically ooze charisma. Thin orange hairs poke out like garnish, and chunky trichomes give it a frosted, “just rolled out of a hash dream” sheen. At 27% THC, this slightly indica-leaning hybrid (60% indica/40% sativa) looks ready to flip your evening into a savory, couch-b
