[ad_1] You can’t spell “2024” without “420,” Leafly Nation. The international stoner holiday of April 20 (aka 4/20) stems from the daily toke time of 4:20 p.m. started in California in the ‘70s. Today, we have 25 legalization states and more than 40 medical ones. Re-scheduling percolates in Washington D.C. The Mayor of San Francisco has even blessed “SF Weed Week”—stating: “Don’t give me no bammer weed. We don’t smoke that sh*t in the SFC.” We, too, subscribe to the No Bammer movement, so we tasked our experts with rounding up the hottest flowers for 4/20 across the land. Featuring dozens of…

[ad_1] March has arrived, and with it your best chance of growing a monster outdoor plant—if you start now inside. As such, we conclude our seasonal 2024 guide to the hottest cultivars and breeders with a survey of award-winning strains bred for making excellent hash. Not all strains are created equal for extraction, farmers and hashmakers have learned. Some taste great as flowers, but flat as hash. Others make good oil for pens, but poor rosin. Some are true “dumpers”—releasing big, fat trichome heads on long, breakable stalks; all the easier for collecting into the ultimate dab. A great hash hit…

[ad_1] 99 points out of 100Price: $55/eighthReady to stay winning? Leafly Strain of the Year 2023 Permanent Marker combines with a SOTY runner-up, Cap Junky, in this stellar flower grown by Sacramento’s Seven Leaves. It’s nearly impossible to improve on either strain, but Seven Leaves does just that. It’s Permanent Marker with more fuel. Or it’s more appetizing Cap Junky with a little purple. Either way, the smell hits a 10 on the “marker fumes meets gasoline” scale, and that perfection carries through to the taste. The high doesn’t get any higher, and the view from the top doesn’t get…
[ad_1] 95 points out of 100Price: $55/eighthBatch size: 10 lbsWood Wide Farms in Mendocino, CA grows small, 10-pound batches of the best from America’s cannabis heartland for the adult-use market in the Bay Area and beyond. This winter, they’ve turned out a superb run of a strain just called “#23.” It’s bred by a 3rd-generation Mendocino County, CA grower 707caseyberns, co-founder of Sticky Genes—a cross of (Lava Cake x Dosidos) x Pluto. Wood Wide’s run of #23 gives me a lot of Marshmallow OG vibes, and I love it. The OG and dessert parentage really shows here. It’s green bud—dense,…

Bath House had this nutmeggy, Ovaltine front note that compounds into a spike of Chem, and it smokes strong like a Cap Junky with Chem and Mints. Bath House is made from Bath Water x Zoda—two strains we had the pleasure of knowing zilch about. Bath Water is Zoap x Zonuts. Zoda is a mix of (Z x Acai Gelato) x Seattle Soda. Umami Seeds has already claimed 29 trophies…
