Maryland Leaf's selection of the finest hydrocarbon concentrates available in 2023.

Blueberry Muffin Live Resin Budder from Kings & Queens

Greg Malcolm

This award winning cross between Razzleberry and Purple Panty Dropper by Humboldt Seed Co. is just as flavorful as its name. Popping open the jar reveals a pool of golden budder which is putting off sweet, berry-like aromas. After a dab, I felt a calming effect come over my eyes – while not being locked into the couch.

Blueberry Muffin Diamonds and Sauce from Kings & Queens

Greg Malcolm

While just as flavorful (if not more so) than its cousin in budder form, this batch of diamonds and sauce is slightly more potent. The jar floods the entire room with the smell of freshly-baked blueberry muffins. This was perfect for my bedtime routine – putting me in a wonderful mood and headspace to fall asleep quickly.

Humboldt Pound Cake Live Resin Badder from Kings & Queens

Greg Malcolm

This strain crosses Wedding Cake with Notorious THC to create a lemon-lime fueled up jar of badder. As soon as this lid came off, I immediately noticed how wet and terpy looking this oil was. The terpene profile is dominated by limonene, bringing rich and citrusy notes to the flavor. A single dab had me feeling euphoric and uplifted.

GMO Live Resin Sugar from Kings & Queens

Greg Malcolm

GMO is a legendary cross between Chemdog and Girl Scout Cookies. I make sure to get all my tasks for the day done before diving into GMO, which feels like a true indica. I felt every bit of this dab in a heavy, hazy body high – making this a nighttime-only strain for me.

GMO X Skywalker OG Live Resin Batter Baller Jar from SunMed Labs

Greg Malcolm

These baller jars from SunMed are truly something to behold, with 3.5 grams of golden, perfectly-textured batter. Something I love about this cross is how quickly it hits me, and then smooths out into a relaxing body high. A perfect balance of over 2% limonene and myrcene creates a classic flavor blend that is unmistakable to the trained nose.

Ice Cream Cake Live Resin Batter Baller Jar from SunMed Labs

Greg Malcolm

Wedding Cake and Gelato 33 come together to make this an instant classic of a gassy strain. This batch of live resin really smells like a birthday cake or a sweet baked good, almost like a bakery. There are also hints of orange citrus-like flavor, which shine through a little stronger than expected on the exhale. Another strain I use for nighttime, providing sweet relief to the stresses of the day.

Golden Pineapple Live Resin Batter Baller Jar from SunMed Labs

Greg Malcolm

Golden Goat is something that brings me back to my first days of smoking weed, and crossing it with Pineapple Kush has created something new to behold. Everytime I have seen this batter from SunMed, it has been the same gooey and wet consistency I have come to expect from a terpy batter. The jar smells like a golden berry smoothie, profusely spitting fruity flavor. After a dab, I had a good level of energy perfect for doing outdoor activities. It helps that it comes in a baller jar – I literally can’t stop dabbing this stuff.

Snoop Dogg OG Live Resin Batter Baller Jar from SunMed Labs

Greg Malcolm

Snoop Dogg had to keep it classy with Lemon OG and Sour Diesel creating this true OG of a strain. The jar almost smells like an earthy mix of flavors reminiscent of walking through a Cannabis forest. The consistency was a solid mix of wet with some firmness, which made it easy to get on the dabber. I felt really relaxed after taking a dab of this strain, and it goes a long way with the depth of these baller jars.

Candy Cream Diamonds and Sauce from Culta

Greg Malcolm

This strain is the love child of Ice Cream Cake and Dayglow – with some of the best of both strains in one. The nose can be described as lemon-citrus candy, coming from the Agent Orange in Dayglow. This specific batch had a decent amount of myrcene, which added some relaxing peppery flavor to the sauce. After one dab of this rocky golden goodness, I felt focused without taking me over the top energy wise.

THCa Isolate from Culta

Greg Malcolm

For one of the strongest medicating experiences, I turn to THCa. As an isolate, this is nearly 100% on the cannabinoid profile and packs a strong punch. There isn’t much of a smell to it, because of the low terpene level. I used this product mostly for getting through extremely painful days.

Summer of Love Live Resin Badder from Culta

Greg Malcolm

Terpinolene does a fine dance with myrcene in this succulent batch of live resin from Culta. The first smell released is the fruity sweetness of the terpinolene, with the woody and peppery notes of myrcene on the back end. The result had me feeling dialed in after just one dab from this golden-tan pool of oil.

Poochie Love Live Resin Badder from Culta

Greg Malcolm

Dog Shit x Face Off OG comes together to bring a funky, cheesy smelling strain with petrol dominating the back end. The skunky and powerful aroma of this strain cannot be mistaken, with the same exact smell smacking you in the face with every batch. I was feeling creative and energetic, and found myself smoking this to lift my mood during off days.

G13 Skunk Diamonds and Sauce from Nature’s Heritage

Greg Malcolm

Believe it or not, this strain is G13 crossed with Skunk #1 from Mr. Nice Seedbank. Popping off the top of this jar released a strong fruity and skunky smell. While this strain is technically a hybrid, I have always found that it makes me feel relaxed and ready for a nap – or even going straight to bed. The diamonds in this batch were hefty and coated in golden sauce.

Guava IX Live Badder from Nature’s Heritage

Greg Malcolm

This badder was a wetter and saucier consistency than most badders I have seen, and reeks of freshly-picked guava. At just over 8% terpenes, this was a flavorful batch – but not overwhelming to the point it becomes harsh. Nature’s Heritage’s live products are distinct in their flavor – bringing an undeniable freshness on the exhale.

Mr. Clean Live Resin Sauce from Beezle

Greg Malcolm

Cultivated by Trulieve

Crossing Lime Skunk and The Cube creates this terpinolene-rich batch of live resin sauce. The diamonds are spread very consistently throughout, creating an easy-to-dab product. The nose on this batch is crazy, reminding me of Juicy Fruit or Fruit Stripes gum. After one dab, I was energetic and ready to crush a busy day.

SFV OG Live Resin Budder from Beezle

Greg Malcolm

Cultivated by Trulieve

Beezle’s concentrate presentation is nothing short of spectacular, with each and every gram meticulously placed into the jar in a perfect dollop. It’s a great feeling to see that care was taken all the way to the end product when you spend money on concentrates. This San Fernando Valley OG brought a high with a very quick onset, and did not burn out after a short time.

Nurse Jackie x Cambodian Thai Live Resin Sugar from MPX

Greg Malcolm

MPX live resin has always been a staple on the Maryland market, and this balanced batch of live resin is a perfect example of why. Perfectly-sized diamonds are coated in a terpene-rich sauce. The earthy and woody smells coming off of the jar come from a well-balanced terpene profile. After one dab, I was ready to keep smoking this throughout my day.

Nurse Jackie Live Resin Sugar from MPX

Greg Malcolm

Bred by Homegrown Natural Wonders, this strain is a combination of Jack the Ripper and Medicine. This sativa-dominant hybrid is true to its kind, bringing me a strong burst of energy and focus. The pinene and limonene in this batch leaves a distinctly citrus-pine aroma lingering.

Pie Crust Live Resin Batter from MPX

Greg Malcolm

Malibu Pie x Grapple Cookies?! Count me in. Grow West brought this strain to Maryland and MPX has extracted this delicious and potent live resin. The golden batter has strong notes of floral citrus and the smell is unmistakable. After a dab, I felt a boost of clean energy coupled with a lovely head and body high.

Dosidos 22 Live Resin Apple Sauce from Alchemist Concentrates

Greg Malcolm

Everything that has come out of Alchemist Labs has been extremely impressive to me. Their “Apple Sauce” is absolutely exploding with terpenes, with this batch having a dominantly gassy and fuel-like aroma. The color is bright gold and it has tiny little diamonds throughout the oil. After one dab, I was feeling calm and sleepy – with a noticeably relaxed feeling behind the eyes.
