Mad Mark Farms Cosmic 22
Baker’s Dozen x Falcon 9
Bred by Archive Seed Bank
As the terpenes cascade over my palate, this fierce, ready-to-bake-you bud from Mad Mark starts to feel like a punch in the face. Completely coated in a blizzard of trichomes with huge druzy quartz-like calyces, this bud glistens with notes of sweet baked cherries and a sour-lemon-gas frosting finish that is drool-worthy in the jar and even better in action. A fat rip of sugary gas sends the mind into outer orbit in a euphoric, stargazing high. –Reviews by Rex Hilsinger (@borophoto) and Wes Abney (@beardedlorax)

Plaid Jacket Zero Gravity
GMO x Oreo’s
Fuel — that’s what this is. Straight gas as soon as you open the jar. The taste experience comes across as really smooth and super creamy but with a clean finish. The piney exhale almost leaves a sweet flavor on the lips with no juicy jaws and definitely no cotton mouth. The high is video game weed for me. Enjoy these relaxing tones and rich flavors. –Review by Rex Hilsinger

Heavenly Buds Grapple Pie
Grape Stomper x Mr. Nice
Bred by Compound Genetics
Dark purple buds glisten with prominent trichomes, reminding us of a delicious berry pie covered in shiny sugar crystals. Opening a jar is like popping a cork on a rich, grape-and-red-berry-heavy wine, with creamy notes of vanilla, honey, citrus and rose petals that melt into a fuelly, funky finish. Both uplifting and time warping, we found sounds and sensations heightened as a melty, dancey buzz took over mind and body movements. –Review by Wes Abney

Freddy’s Fuego Black Trop Cherry
Black Cherry Ice Cream x Trop Cherry
Bred by Relentless Genetics
Yarr, there’s nothing like a pirate to take a strain and turn it black, and that’s exactly what the pheno-hunting team behind Freddy’s Fuego did with this Relentless Genetics twist. Lighter in color, thickly dense and frosty as a stolen diamond necklace, this cut is all dark fermented cherries with a garlic gas. Sour citrus meets rubbery berry Sharpie for an aroma that ties the mind into a perfect monkey’s fist knot. The smoke is whisper smooth, tastes like a ripe gassy cherry and brings a heavier, sedated version of the classic Trop Cherry high. –Review by Wes Abney

Bred by Symbiotic Genetics
Sip and savor this bright, beautiful, citrus-forward flower from the legacy team at Washington Bud Co. This DOH-compliant flower is light green and super crystally and oozes terps like a freshly squeezed glass of orange juice with a garnish of hazy, skunky vanilla that sets our mouth to watering while loading a bowl. First hits deliver a fresh rush of citrus that hits the frontal lobes with a burst of energy and euphoria that’s ready to start a day with a blaze. –Review by Wes Abney

Artizen Dutchberry
Dutch Treat x DJ Short Blueberry
Bred by Artizen
The infamous Dutchberry started in Washington’s legal pot market as a top-10 strain by sales volume and has remained in this position for over a decade, showing that consumers value consistent fire as much as they do new strains to try. The Dutchberry has large, medium-density, light green buds with curvaceous foxtails and a bright, funky dutchy haze with a creamy blueberry, vanilla gas that’s mouthwateringly delicious. First tokes are full of berries and haze, sending a chillaxed body buzz and a floaty, happy head high that’s ready for PNW adventures. –Review by Wes Abney

High End Farms Lemon Skunk
Las Vegas Lemon Skunk x Unknown Skunk
While a skunk is something we never want to meet in the wild, it’s always a joy to find in a jar of tasty weed. This Lemon Skunk is bright and in-your-face with sharp citrus gas that melts into a tantalizingly complex, creamy and earthy skunk aroma. Softer and lighter in density, yet still totally sticky, the first inhales taste like candied lemons with a funky exhale, sending a rush of stoned energy to the mind and body, perfect for a dance at the desk workday. –Review by Wes Abney
Plaid Jacket Animal Tsunami
Caramel Tsunami x Animal Cookies
These nugs have a really nice structure and beautiful violet undertones, dense but not too much, and grind up great. I found it to be a little spicy in the nose right off the hit, then the immediate taste reminds me of those Christmas snowball cookies. The crisp flavors of pine and nutmeg come next to the palate, then the almost almond butter finish is very satisfying and smooth. The high comes in immediately, with a very calming mental and physical feeling. I’d use this one for headaches, chronic pain or just to relax after a long day. –Review by Rex Hilsinger

Supremely sweet, with rich strawberry flavors and a fuelly exhale, this flower is euphoric enough to risk a run down Rainbow Road with confidence, but heavy enough to send us flying into space with each sharp turn. –Review by Wes Abney

This brunch-worthy strain delivers a freshly baked strawberry pastry vibe with sugary, earthy dough notes that melt into a creamy, fizzy strawberry finish dripping from dense, foxtailed buds.

Dank Czar’s Blue Zushi
Zkittlez x Kush Mints
Bred By The TenCo
Beautifully light blue- and purple-tinted, this flower has an exotic look and powerful flavor that rocks the senses with a heady hit of kushy Z terps and an undeniably blue-fruited mint garnish. These dense, cluster-sized nugs are so heavily frosted with trichomes that they alter the flower’s color. With an ace cure, the thick, still-sticky buds break up to deliver first notes of the blue color and flavor that are both yummy and hard to describe, along with a sedating euphoria that melts the mind into a puddled body perfect for the sushi buffet. –Review by Wes Abney
