Papaya Cake

Papaya × Wedding Cake

Heavy myrcene + caryophyllene profile, a body-forward indica that lands within twenty minutes and stays for three hours. Our most-recommended evening flower for first-time edible-veterans switching to inhalation.

Blue Dream

Blueberry × Haze

The standard against which sativa-leaning hybrids are measured. Bright, even, predictable. We carry two cuts, a pinene-forward upstate cultivar and a myrcene-forward processor blend, both in stock most weeks.

Limonene-forward, sweet without being saccharine. Our buyers consistently picked this as the cultivar most likely to convert returning consumers: bright onset, no anxiety spike, an honest two-hour ride.

Permanent Marker

Biscotti × Jealousy × Sherb BX1

A more cerebral indica than its potency suggests. Caryophyllene dominance puts it in the anti-inflammatory bucket for many of our seniors managing chronic pain. Pairs well with low-dose THC tincture as a layered regimen.

A reliable workhorse hybrid, the cultivar we'd recommend to someone who walks in with a list of ten things to try and ten minutes to decide. Smooth, balanced, predictable. Carried in both flower and pre-roll.

Jack Herer

Haze × Northern Lights × Shiva Skunk

The cultivar named for the activist who put it on the map, pine-forward, clear-headed, the closest a sativa gets to a fountain pen. We carry it in flower and as a 510 cart from a NY-licensed live-resin processor.

Skywalker OG

Skywalker × OG Kush

Linalool gives it the lavender-edge that separates it from the rest of the OG family, quietly the cultivar our anxiety-management regulars come back for. Pair with a 1:1 CBD:THC tincture at the same time for a routine.

Super Lemon Haze

Lemon Skunk × Super Silver Haze

Lemon-forward, no peel-bitterness. Limonene + terpinolene stacks for an active, slightly buzzy ride, the cultivar we recommend for adults who say cannabis usually puts them to sleep but want it not to.

Gelato

Sunset Sherbert × Thin Mint GSC

Gelato is a near-balanced hybrid from the Cookies family, crossing Sunset Sherbert with Thin Mint GSC for a dessert profile of sweet cream, berry, and a peppery citrus edge. The high is often reported as euphoric and loose-bodied while still clear enough to stay productive, which is why many describe it as a flexible all-day pick. A good match for hybrid fans who want calm without heavy couch-lock. Effects may vary.

Runtz

Zkittlez × Gelato #33

Runtz is the candy-jar hybrid that put exotic genetics on the map, a Cookies Fam cross of Zkittlez and Gelato #33 that won Leafly Strain of the Year in 2020. Expect sugary tropical fruit and sour-candy notes over a creamy, gas-tinged finish. The balanced lean is often reported as euphoric and chatty up front, settling into easy body calm, so many describe it as a good pick for a relaxed hang. Effects may vary.
