Cannabis  REVIEWS 

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...

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.

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...

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...

Few strains carry the mythic weight of Matanuska Thunder F*ck. Born in the unforgiving 1970s Matanuska Valley of Alaska, this sativa-dominant legend was forged from an obscure high-latitude landrace crossed with heavy Afghani genetics — a hardy survivor prized for delivering a lightning-fast cerebral rush followed by deep physical ease. Authentic expressions have always been rare; much of the original line was lost to time or diluted through decades of breeding...

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...

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...

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...

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 s

Cultivated by Savvy and available at gLeaf Dispensary in Rockville, this lovely batch of Torrone #2 is an intriguing introduction to mode...

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

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

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.

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