One of the first supporters and longtime friends of this magazine, Star Buds has been serving up top-notch Cannabis products to the Maryland market since the very start. They serve a serious volume of customers on a daily basis, but they keep the wait times low and the vibes high while doing it. People have been buying dime bags on Belair Road for years, but now it’s finally legal. Stop by and support these industry OGs the next time you are passing through the Parkville area.
Setting and Vibe
The staff at this store is made up of true Cannabis connoisseurs and advocates for the plant, making it a safe space for patients and stoners alike. They can give you top-notch recommendations and take their time with each customer, or let you take the wheel and get in and out in a jiffy. The walls of the store are full of beautiful, high-resolution pictures of Cannabis, as well as Cannabis-themed art pieces.
Flower
Gone are the days of deli-style flower in Maryland (for now), but that doesn’t stop Star Buds from stocking up on nearly 100 different options on the flower menu. You can sort through the online menu by price and THC contents, making it easy for people to get exactly what they want, especially with terpene contents listed as well. This type of information being readily available to customers makes everyone’s life a little easier.
Concentrates
I remember marveling at the concentrate selection years ago when I first stepped into Star Buds’ dispensary room. Nothing has changed, except they might have even more now than they did then with the influx of new concentrate companies. Live resin, rosin, RSO, bubble hash, kief, shatter and more can always be found on the menu here. Exotic Elevations has been coming out with major heat lately, so I was excited to see their products on the menu.
Edibles
Star Buds’ edible selection is strong, and they have deals for days, making it easy to stock up for these cold winter months ahead. They frequently have pop-ups where they discount the brand that is set up for the day — so stay on top of their website for the most up-to-date deals. Wyld had more gummies on the menu than I could even begin to name in an article, and the same can be said for Beezle. Whether you’re after a specific brand or want to try something new, they definitely have something in store for you.
Product Review
Khalifa Kush by Trulieve
35.48% Total Cannabinoids and 2.78% Total Terpenes
This flower has some serious jar appeal, with big, caked-up buds surrounded by delicate orange hairs. As for the nose, pine needles and gasoline flooded my senses immediately upon opening the jar. The exhale was a gassy, dense, creamy kush flavor that hits all the right senses every time I smoke it. This strain was applicable to both daytime and nighttime use for me, allowing me to get things done while putting me in a comfortable and creative mindset.
