Hasher Garlic Breath Cold Cure
New to the scene, Hasher is a small-batch rosin brand rooted in a lifestyle of handblown glass, fine art, and Southern California’s skate culture. This Garlic Breath cold-cured rosin, made with living-soil indoor flower, reeks of a funky, peppery smell, even when it’s straight out of the fridge. Steve Hasher told the Leaf this is a cross of GMO and Mendo Breath that he got from breeder and hashmaker So Cal Dank, who reported that this cut leans more on the GMO side. Most dabbers turn to GMO for its fast-acting, hard-hitting effect, and this does not disappoint.

Have Hash Lemon OGZ 70-149μm Rosin
Humboldt County’s Have Hash is a resounding force in Northern California’s concentrate scene, as is Mendoja Farms, where the material for this release was grown. Lemon OGZ is a cross of Archive Seed Bank’s Lemon Cane and Mendoja Farms’ Z28 (OGZ #28), which is a pheno Mendoja’s Justin Wilson found from seed, Wilson told the Leaf. The gassy, Z-laden wave hits you right in the nose before a rush of lemon terps keeps you from passing out. We all know color isn’t everything for rosin, but it’s impossible not to be impressed with how bone white and loud this rosin came out.
Heritage Hash Co. Grape Congolese Temple Ball
Over in Ukiah, Cherry Blossom Belle is producing temple balls for Heritage Hash Co. using traditional methods she learned from Frenchy Cannoli. Despite being aged for a whole year, these compacted balls of fragrant cured resin are marshmallow soft and smell like grape bubble gum. Made with material grown by Heritage Herb Co., this cross of Red Congolese and Grape Soda puts you in a happy, energetic mood. It’s great in a hash pipe, on top of a bong rip or rolled into a joint. Beyond being hard to find Congolese on the market these days, this rare treat is a chance to experience the tradition of hashish by enjoying something that took over a year to produce.

710 Labs Sour Tangie Persy Badder
It’s hard to think of a name more synonymous with hash than 710 Labs. For this issue, we’re honoring one of the company’s longest-standing cuts. If you enjoy a clear-headed wake and bake, then Sour Tangie is your breakfast of champions. With plenty of sour and citrus in the mix, this cut has been with the brand since the company launched in Colorado back in 2009. East Coast Sour Diesel crossed with Tangie, this is their Persy-level badder, representing the top-tier, non-limited harvests from 710 Labs, delivered in a black executive box. Energizing without being racy, this is brain food.
Umma Sonoma and Karisma Paya Mosa Rosin
The ability to combine rosins into one complex flavor and aroma is a talent reminiscent of craft whisky in Japan. According to Brayan at Umma Sonoma, Paya Mosa blends Jam Pack, Papaya, Limesicles, Papayamosa and Hard Candy crossed to Zkittlez. A little whip reveals a layered fruit aroma. The flavor starts very citrusy, like sweet satsuma with lime and papaya. On your second and third exhales, a wave of nostril-burning Zkittlez rises and electrifies your face. That Hard Candy within the mix seems to help provide a strong and swift onset that locks you in place.

The Bryantist Whitethorn Rose 73-149u Rosin
One of the top dabs in the state this July has hit the recreational market. Widely lauded hash maker The Bryantist released 250 grams of Whitethorn Rose, among the most award-winning strains in California’s contest circuit. Bred by Huckleberry Hill Farms and grown by Mattole Valley Farms, this full-sun, fresh-frozen flower fully expresses the hit varietal. The Bryantist said this “alien plant” turns the hash water fuchsia, pink and purple. The live rosin is peachy, rosy and amber with a fruity, floral funk. The versatile effects take you up or down as needed. The Bryantist prefers to dab it off high-quality quartz, but the medium-dry resin makes a great hash hole worm, too.
PAX Golden Goat Live Rosin with Diamonds Pod
Veteran vape brand PAX has been working on itself. Down in their literal lab at the San Francisco headquarters, they have a CT scanner, a FLIR camera, a gas chromatograph and more Batman tech to ensure two questions: Does it hit, and is it pure? Yes and yes. No clogs. No leaks. No contaminants. This Golden Goat pod hits 92.83% total cannabinoids. The gold oil is clear like morning sunlight, and it smells and tastes mild, authentic and like a natural vintage sativa. The terps modulate the beaming-high THC — great for yoga, dinner or date night. The classy, gold battery base is reusable, and each pod purchase removes double its weight in plastic from the environment through a plastic negative program. How positive!
Original Dunkz Airheads and Papaya Bomb Live Rosin Infused Hand Roll
Get ready to get the whole clique lit. Rolled by hand in a cool room in Oakland, each Dunkz features 1.5 grams of flower from 710 Labs — custom paired by the batch with a half-gram of live rosin — as well as a glass tip and a cigar band. That’s 678 milligrams of THC to the face, so bring several friends. Our Dunkz had a dry hit exactly like a roll of Sweetarts. It lit and pulled easily, and it burned evenly with devastating indica-hybrid effects. Led by equity operator Armande Milhouse, Original Dunkz is on a tear, with a Canada expansion going hard during the World Cup.

Punch Extracts and Chameleon Craft New York Sour Diesel Live Rosin Badder 73-149μ
An authentic Sour Chem Diesel bite awaits enjoyers of this bone-white live rosin badder made by Punch Extracts. Again, they’ve teamed up with the heavily decorated grower Chameleon Craft. Fabulous in a dab rig or a Puffco, this badder also worms up wonderfully for a hash hole. Authentic old-school Sour often lacks the flavor translation of modern palate-staining strains. Punch remedies that by concentrating the goodness — punching it up, if you will. The strong sativa-hybrid effects help charge up gaming, biking, hiking, chores and parties. It’s perfect for a hot summer night. This is perhaps the most superb Sour D live rosin I’ve ever seen and smelled from a strain that is not known for washing or squishing well.

Sitka Lebanese Gold Pressed Hash
Get high like a Bedouin, Marco Polo or a benevolent Himalayan warlord with this old-school hash. Sitka specializes in the niche modality of pressed dry sift made from dried, cured, sun-grown sativas and sativa hybrids. It tastes hashy and earthy with an incense quality, like the secret monastery beneath some sand-swallowed city. Your warm breath softens it for shaping into a stick that lights like Nag Champa. It smells hashy, sweet, mild, caramel-like, cured, aged and full of the mysteries. Around since 2014, a devoted sect of extract aesthetes keeps Sitka in business. They put it on bowls, add it to spliffs, make “snakes in the grass” or just hot knife it.
Heavy Hitters and CAM Jack Herer Cured Resin AIO
Heavy Hitters has a name to live up to, so this vape blows thick clouds right out of the box. Inside the regal gold and black box sits a collaboration with Sacramento’s indoor boss CAM: 1 gram of cured resin, not live resin. “Perfection through patience” is the mantra behind the Jack Herer flower, which is slowly cured after harvest. The single-strain, medium-gold oil hits 86.1% total cannabinoids with 7.12% terpenes, and there’s nary a molecule of fake, ahem, “natural” terps. It smells like it hits — sweet, fresh and natural — with no strong terpinolene “Jack” terp, funnily enough. So, even a Jack hater can rip this thing.

Tempo Baja Blaze AIO
So cute! This Tempo Baja Blaze is perfect for a girls’ night out, as the all-in-one fits into a tiny clutch and totally rips fat clouds of “natural” fruit terps that’ll cut through the vodka Red Bull on your breath. Kapow! The fruity, berry, lime-distillate terps and 87% THC lift you like an angry bouncer — a small but mighty one. The palm-sized device runs on USB-C with a preheat function and multiple temperature settings for the weed nerd in the group. Tempo is the specialized flavored vape side of Punch Edibles and Punch Extracts, with enough flavors to make a Slurpee machine nervous.

Humboldt Terp Council Amerelo Live Resin
While the hydrocarbon vs. rosin debate has exploded back to mid-2010s levels in recent months, Humboldt Terp Council has never wavered on the topic. Their rendition of Amarelo is a perfect example of the championship-quality extracts they’ve been pushing out of Humboldt County over the last decade. The Symbiotic Genetics-bred strain features the breeder’s Banana Punch #9 selection paired with Str8 Organics’ famed Lemonade. The best versions of the hash smell like a smoothie with a light hint of fuel on top and deliver a very cerebral experience. The material was grown by Rustic Farms in Trinity County.

Punch Extracts and True Classic LA Dulce de Papaya Rosin and True OG Flower Rocket Hash Hole
When Punch Extracts originally released the Rocket in late 2023, it was an immediate player in the rapidly expanding hash hole segment of the marketplace. The level of trust Punch has already built with its hash was a major factor in the success of the rollout. Their interpretation of the hash hole features 1.3 grams of top-shelf indoor flower with 0.3 grams of their spectacular hash encased in the middle. The collaboration line with True Classic LA that we tested was dominated by the excellence of True OG flower paired with Punch’s Dulce de Papaya rosin.

Rosin Tech Labs and No Till Kings Elmer’s Glue Rosin and Hash Burger Flower Hash Hole
Rosin Tech Labs decided to put its Emerald Cup-winning quality rosin into hash holes, and it went on to immediately take top honors at Northern California’s biggest Cannabis competition. Deciding to collaborate with the live-soil gardens of No Till Kings proved it was possible to further take it up a notch. The hash hole featuring 1.3 grams of Hash Burger flower and 0.3 grams of Elmer’s Glue rosin is a testament to still being able to find some funk in a market full of candy and dessert weed. The Hash Burger’s high resin content just adds another layer of hashiness to the flavor.

Raw Garden God’s Breath Live Resin
Raw Garden is a name that’s been repping incredible live resin for around a decade. Their farm in Santa Ynez produces material for their concentrates that is both Clean Green and Environmental & Consumer Compliance Organization certified. Anyone can go to their website, look up each batch and find the test results, plus the lineages for the 789 strains they’ve worked with. God’s Breath, according to the website, is Peanut Butter Breath and Strawberry Pinecone. It’s super smooth with a fruity back end and a bright citrus front. Expect a swift onset and even flavor notes at low and high temperatures.
The Pairist Rosin Infused Prerolls
This is an award-winning preroll that doesn’t just pair Cannabis strains; it partners with them. Working with farms like Esensia Gardens, Huckleberry Hill Farms, Moon Made Farms and Whitethorn Valley Farm, The Pairist offers rosin-infused preroll packs with five half-gram joints in each jar. Blueberry Jam, Cara Cara and Orange Creamsicle are just a few of the exclusive flavors they put into these single-source quick hitters.
Buddies x Ember Valley Wingsuit Cured Resin Cartridge
When a brand grows to be as widespread and well known as Buddies, it becomes hard to manage quality and consistency, especially across multiple markets. But this group continues to put out top-tier offerings across multiple categories, with carefully chosen strains and collaborations. The recently dropped Wingsuit cartridge makes for a prime example. Produced in concert with cultivators Ember Valley, using indoor-grown genetics developed by Compound Genetics, this cross between Red Bullz and Gastro Pop #5 shines with bright amber tones and sips smooth with a slightly sweet exhale. Plugged into a Buddies battery, this cart really rips.

Wavvy Supply Co. Zoap Live Resin Sugar
They say never judge a book by its cover, but Wavvy Supply Co. is a worthy exception to the rule. Fronted by Wavves’ indie-power-punk front man Nathan Williams, this brand collaborates with artists such as Killer Acid to present “terplicious” flavors that bend the palate. The Zoap Live Resin Sugar is a loud, overdriven take on the modern classic strain bred by Deep East Oakland. It makes for a clean, heady dab, with a slightly astringent, gassy foundation overlaid with candied top notes.

Wavvy Supply Co. Lil’ Wavvys G41 Cannabis-Infused Doinks
Just short enough to smoke during a pre-encore set break, the Lil’ Wavvys dog-walker-sized joints infused with live hash and rosin oil make for an efficient, expedient trip to the next plane of existence. The G41 delivers on the confectionery characteristics of the Gelato lineage. It had us lifted from the second pull. Featuring five doinks per jar, this is a great choice for a concert or to share at an afternoon cookout.

Preferred Gardens Verzace Juicebox Cured Resin All-In-One
Few people in the Cannabis industry have earned the kind of quiet, ego-free respect claimed by Preferred Gardens founder David Polley. The man behind the Sacramento-based brand has methodically scaled his mixed-light greenhouse and indoor operation to cover multiple product categories in multiple states around the country. The Preferred all-in-one vape line combines quality equipment with premium oil to offer a high-grade, convenient experience. The Verzace Juicebox offers a slight fruity sweetness and a smooth draw, and the sleek, unmistakable, fire-engine red hardware makes for a reliable, consistent experience.
