All of 2023’s Cannabis Cup winners and where to buy them

Published

on


Strap in, Leafly nation—this one is going to be a doozy. Everyone in cannabis, as in any other industry or field, wants to be the best—but how do you tell who is actually the best? Well, look at the awards. With tens of thousands of strains and products available in your area (we hope), how do you choose where to spend your hard-earned Benjamins? We can tell you that. 

Cannabis competitions are back like they never left, and more state legalizations means higher bars to clear to call your stash fire. From the Bay to the Big Apple, and many detours in between, these are the buds that struck gold (and silver) at esteemed cannabis competitions and cups in 2023. Did we miss any? Let us know for 2024!

Golden State, gold standard. California, despite its market quirks, continues to set weed trends, and the world takes notes. This year was a particularly rich outing.

We begin (where else?) with the Emerald Cup. The Oscars of California weed and their expert judges have sampled thousands of flower entries over the years from cultivators looking for glory and recognition. With four commercial flower categories and 20 slots for each—that’s a lot of weed!

This year, Fig Farms won Best in Show and cinched the indoor flower crown with their Animal Face pheno, Blue Face. Double OG Chem #15 by Rebel Grown showed out for sungrown, and Ridgeline Farms proved their Runtz work is unparalleled with a mixed light LANTZ. Bubble Bath by Chameleon Craft won for greenhouse.

The California dispensary Greenwolf has been winning awards of their own for years, and now they dish them out. Their latest California Zalympix puts the golden taste of the Golden State in perspective. The Ten Co and Zushi teamed up with Blue Zushi to nab Best Overall, Best Taste, and second for Best Terps. 

Another collaboration, Limitedtreesgenetics x Flavor Design, won Best Terps with Versace, and second overall. Maven GeneticsFrench Laundry won Best Looking and Most Unique, with The Hydro Boys winning Heaviest Hitting with Blue Gotti Sapphire and Sour Power by Kush Company taking Gassiest. Alien Labs made the podium for Best Overall and Best Terps with a classic Zkittlez.

Now for some math. The California State Fair Cannabis Awards crunch the numbers across cannabinoids and terpenes. A number of last year’s winners returned to show out, along with some new contenders. Mercy Grown swept three Best of California awards with John Lemmon (THCa), and Pie Scream (Myrcene and Total Terpenes); Greenshock FarmsPassion Orange Guava took Ocimene gold once again, while Esensia, MOCA Humboldt and Talking Trees Farm won with new offerings Maracuya (THCa), Caffeine (Limonene), and Rainbow Beltz (Caryophyllene), respectively. For something funky, check out Prism, the CBGa winner by Nimbus Cannabis.

Leafly contributor and one of the headiest journalists on the weed beat Jimi Devine keeps climbing with the latest Transbay Challenge V, which held four qualifier events before the ultimate competition in October. Hawaiian Snowcone by Moon Valley Cannabis, one of our SOTY alternatives, took the ultimate honors, with (again!) Maven Genetics’ French Laundry and Moonbeam by A Golden State rounded out the top three. Greendawg got an honorable mention for Candy Fumez.

The people of SoCal have spoken, and they have bougie tastes too. For the High Times People’s Choice Cup, we saw many familiar, and winning, faces. Fig Farms hit a double whammy for Best Indica Flower and Hybrid Flower with Blue Face and Animal Face, while Maven Genetics’s Orange Bellini reigning over the sativas.

Maven’s French Laundry appeared again in second place for hybrids, and A Golden State popped up again with Lava Flower. TopShelf Cultivation, Team Elite Genetics, and Seed Junky rounded out the flower categories with Peanut Butter Breath, Whoa Si Whoa, Styrofoam Cup, and Gello Shotz

Last but not least, the 2023 Ego Clash saw Eddy’s Lemons by Anudai Farms (A New Day) take indoor flower gold, with Blue Lobster and Zkittlez not far behind. For outdoor, it was Lemon Cherry Gelato by Terp Mansion, followed by two other winning strains of 2023, LANTZ and Hawaiian Snowcone.

Denver’s Connoisseur Cup brings legacy and licensed operators together under OG scrutiny. The industry side showed loyalty to enduring favorites, including Super Lemon Haze (Super Farm), Gelato (DenRec), and Animal Face Mints (Meraki Brands), while pointing to newer classics like Top Fuel Cherries, Purple Monkey Face Slap, and Grape Cream 2.1. MAC, Zkittlez, and GG#4 also made it to the winners circle. 

Rooster Magazine and Media’s THC Classic also scoured hundreds of entries to parse out the fire. Golden Leaf blew the competition away, winning with Lemonhead Delight, Black Maple #22, and Candy Fumez. 

The ninth annual Oregon Growers Cup showcases one of the most pot-prolific state’s best greenery. They give laurels to sungrown, indoor, and greenhouse flowers, with a wide range of cultivars in the winners’ circles. For Outdoor, Alter Farms wins with Strawberry Fizz; Artisan Grown cinched Indoor with Candy Rain; Hash Burger grown by Cannassentials sweeps Greenhouse.

The Oregon Leaf Bowl took it a step further with winners designated by terpene profile (Fuel/OG, Purps/Dessert, Exotic Fruit, Citrus, Open) within the three cultivation categories. For Sungrown, WM Ranch won for Fuel and Dessert with Trop Cherry and Ice Cream Cake; Left Coast Standard also doubled up wins in Citrus and Exotic Fruit with Orange Blossom and Juicy Fruit. Greasy Runtz by TrueCare Farms was the wild card. 

For indoor flower, we see a Sherbet (Slims/Conception nursery), Tropicana Cherry (Verdant Leaf), Biscotti Pie (High Noon Cult), Garlic Budder (Green Clover Farms), and Grape Stank (LUVLI) rise above the rest. And with mixed light, Real Eve won all but one category with their Super Boof, Chem-lato, Sherb Cake, and Hash Burger; Bald Peak Farm and Chalice Farms nabbed a win with Blueberry Octane.

The Grand Canyon State is making a play to be called the Grand Cannabis State, with over $1 billion in medical and adult-use sales in 2023. They hosted two Errl Cups—the authority in concentrate tastemaking. Spring 2023 saw Peanut Butter Mintz by Aeritz, Alien Labs’ Biskante, and Lemon Meringue by Genesis Bioceuticals crowned. A SOTY runner-up, Super Boof, made the podium in both flower and concentrate forms by Mohave Cannabis Co and Glorious Extracts. 

For Fall 2023, Shango’s Guava Tangie won for both Sativa Flower and Sativa Non-Solvent Concentrate, with Nirvana’s Mafia Funeral and High Variety’s Kush Mints rounding out the Indica and Hybrid categories. We spied White Rainbows and KY Jealousy by Earths Extracts and Grape Gas rendered by Copperstate Farms in the winners’ circle too.

Consecrated Farms nearly swept the Open Class Flower, with LA Kush Cake, Platinum Garlic, and Pineapple Upside Down Cake. Honorable mention to Ice Cream Cake, the Sungrown winner by Classix

In neighboring New Mexico, The Growers Circle did double duty, winning Best Indica Flower and Sativa Flower with Homage and Trop Cherries; hvst’s El Chivo #11 took the hybrid crown. Seed Junky made multiple top-three appearances with Pineapple Fruz and Purple Push Pop, a close relative to our 2023 Strain of the Year winner, Permanent Marker

See also: Judging is currently underway for their 2023 High Times People’s Cup, so stay tuned for the February 5 winners announcement.

New York’s legal cannabis rollout isn’t quite ready for a High Times Cup of their own. But they did host their second annual New York Growers Cup, where dozens of legacy growers competed across a handful of flavor profile categories: Gas, Sweet, Haze, Sour, and Exotic. We saw many strains that we lauded as winning-material take home trophies; Trop Cherry Gas and Tropical Trufflez tied for the Sweet category, with a Sherb x Biscotti x Animal Mints clearing the Gas lane. Green Haze won for its eponymous group, while Sour Royale got the Sour crown, and Kaboom was dubbed the most Exotic. 

The Zalympix also landed on the East Coast this year to survey the Northeast’s best buds; a few frontrunners emerged. Zkittles x Zoap by Gotti was best in show, though Maine Trees’ Blue Lobster won Gassiest, Best Terps, and Best Taste. Marijuantauk Gardens won heaviest hitting with Cap Junky (no surprise there), and Sherbanger by Rugged Roots won Best Looking and runner-up for taste. Apples & Bananas was also in the mix.

NECANN has grown from a multistate expo to a regional competition, with cups held in Maine and Boston this year. In Maine, homegrown heroes Maine Trees placed first for Indica Flower with Blue Lobster, while our 2023 Strain of the Year, Permanent Marker, won Indica Flower gold for High Road LLC. Shamanic Roots’ Peach Milano won the sativa category. The best of Boston’s buds went to Northeast Alternatives’ King Garlic Cookies, Ideal Craft Cannabis’ Jokerz, and AMP’s Turbo Diesel.

The first Maryland Home Growers Cup showed us that the Old Line State likes old school cannabis, with the top winner, Orange Velvet, followed by a Northern Lights cross, and—surprise!—Blue Dream.

Michiganders like their weed savory and fruity. Their High Times Cup was two-pronged for medical and adult use, which means twice the winners. MI Loud Farms won on both sides, with Garlic Cocktail and Kush Mints. Blue Skunk by High Level Health, Society C’s Spritzer, New Lyfe’s Gogurtz, and Dutch Touch Genetics’ Mr. Clean took flower gold as well. Cap Junky and Moonbow #12 were also in the mix. 

Greenwolf’s Zalympix came to Detroit this year to sniff out the fire. Rkive’s Candy Fumes won Best Overall and Best Tasting, and Lightsky Farms’s Titty Sprinkles, third overall, also nabbed both Gassiest and Best Terps. Sherb Pie by Peninsula Gardens was the Best runner-up, with their Cap Junky hitting the heaviest. 

Also in the Midwest, Illinois’ High Times Cannabis Cup (People’ Choice) showcased a mix of national and niche, with winners that spanned from Jack Herer (RYTHM) to Cobra Milk (nuEra), and Slapz (also RYTHM).

Cannabis in the middle of the United States is anything but mid. Missouri hit the ground running with their adult-use industry, primed to judge the best of the best. The Missouri Growers Cup chose Blueberry Muffin by Green Thumb Grow Pro for the Grow Master award, with Elevate’s Gary Poppins winning best flower, and Tropicana Cherries emerging as the Home Grown winner.

In Oklahoma, the judges of the Cowboy Cup crowned Mac 1 by Savage Organics and Very Good Grows’ Candy Apple for best sungrown and indoor flower, respectively, with some Kush Mints and Larry Bird (that’s Gelato) runners up; finalists include Tropicana Cherry, Super Boof, Pure Michigan, and Jungle Pie.
Over in Montana, Cup Fest judges chose 710 MT’s Mega Runtz as Best in Show and Best Hybrid flower; Collective Elevation won Indica with Donny Burger and Awesome Blossom’s Fruity Pebbles OG was crowned Best Sativa.

Here’s your top pot products of Dry January

Published

on

By


Good news, Leafly Nation—most of America now believes Dry January can include cannabis.

A recent national survey paid for by the vape brand Stiiizy found that 83% of adults believe you can be “dry” in January (aka abstain from alcohol) and still get high. We love that!

You don’t even need to smoke weed, either. All across the US, Leafly finds dope edibles, topicals, oils, applicators and tablets that enhance quality of life and keep your 2025 goals on track. No excuses now! Here are the hottest pot products of Dry January 2025.

Jump to your state’s picks

California

1906 Boost tablets

If you don’t believe us, would you believe the New York Times? A restauranteur claimed the 1906 Genius tablets were her favorite for a fun night out—a 2mg THC and 5 mg CBD formula with caffeine and plant medicines like galangal root. It’s best suited to helping users focus, execute, and then have a little fun. The newest offering is Boost, a 2 mg tablet of THC that is “for everything,” with no additional bells and whistles besides the power of cannabis. In fact, they recommend Genius, Boost, and Go (for energy) in a bundle to help consumers “get sh•t done.”

Kikoko Tea

I have been privileged enough to see Kikoko’s inception and rise as a cannabis tea brand that actually tastes good and delivers what it promises. There’s something for everyone: insomniacs (Tranquili-Tea), joyseekers (Positivi-Tea), the anxiety prone, (Sympa-Tea) the sensual (Sensuali-Tea), and aspiring artists (Creativi-Tea). Each has its own blend of high quality herbs and flowers, as well as a ratio of cannabinoids—5 mg CBN: 3 mg THC, 10 MG THC: 5 mg CBD, etc. They’ve also expanded their five formulas to tablet form if you don’t have a kettle handy, and infused honey sticks to up your dose.

Proof Icy Hot Roll-On

Proof is known for packing in the milligrams in both their tinctures and topicals. Their oil-based Icy Hot Roll-On recently won Best Topical at the 2024 Emerald Cup, and for good reason. This 1 fl oz bottle contains 2,000 mg of cannabinoids split between THC and CBD in an oil base that includes jojoba and rosehip. Arnica oil, peppermint oil, menthol, and other heating and cooling essential oils help you roll out all those muscles your building as part of your new year’s resolution (They also have a version if you prefer the cannabis without the extra essential oils).

Wyld Grapefruit 1:1:1 gummies 

Everything in moderation, right? Some sugar is fine as long as it comes paired with plant medicine. Wyld’s edible supremacy continues with their Grapefruit flavor and formula, which includes the canna-cocktail of THC, CBG, and CBC dosed at 10 mg of each. That’s a lot for one gummy, so tread lightly. The formula is meant to induce an uplifting euphoria that inspires us to chase our goals for 2025 with abandon. 

Also available in Oregon, New York, Arizona, Maryland, Colorado, Nevada, and Massachusetts

Emerald Bay Extracts tablets

Rick Simpson Oil has lost some of its medicinal supremacy as cannabis science and innovation develop new formulas and delivery methods, but it still offers unparalleled medicinal benefits in an allergen-free delivery method. We know it’s not exactly tasty, so Emerald Bay Extracts have developed their applicator formula (which is still great) into tablet form. These are strain-specific formulations with a stable that includes Cereal Milk, Chilled Cherries, Grape Ape, and Runtz, dosed in 25 mg, 50 mg, or 100 mg increments. 

Liquid Flower Bath Soak

If you can’t smoke it, soak it. Liquid Flower specializes in aromatic topicals, and their craft won them an Emerald Cup award in 2023. If you’re tired of lotions and balms, try their infused bath soaks. With a blend of nourishing oils, essential minerals, Dead Sea salt, and both THC and CBD, these zap away the aches of that new workout routine you’re sticking to and let your body zen out after a long day. Their Lavender soak is a 4:1 THC to CBD, but we recommend the Deep Muscle & Detox soak for those particularly stiff muscles given it has over 300 mg of THC. A reminder: these aren’t psychoactive so no need to worry about an accidental high.  

LEVEL Hashtabs

Like the tablets above, LEVEL have always made it easy to get a lot of cannabinoids in a single bite. They make isolates and blends of just about every cannabinoid under the sun, so they fit discreetly into any routine. Their Hashtabs, however, are for the heavy hitters who can’t bear to eat 10 gummies or an enormous brownie. These won’t mess with your diet, your stomach, or your mind—only euphoria and wellness to be seen here.


Oregon

TAO Gardens x Hyphae Mushroom gummies

Courtesy TAO Gardens

TAO Gardens makes great craft flower and solventless concentrates, that they take the same approach with edibles. They partnered with adaptogenic mushroom brand Hyphae to release a gummy made with Lion’s Mane mushrooms and rosin. Rosin is the gold standard for cannabis concentrates, and Lion’s Mane has been used for centuries in Eastern medicine for its vitamins and promotion of internal balance and anti-inflammatory benefits. 

Synergy Skin Worx transdermal patch

Courtesy Synergy Skin Worx

This medical-focused topical brand has flown under the radar, but January is the perfect time to bask in its shine. Synergy also makes lotions and tablets, but it’s their transdermal patches that stand out. Transdermal patches apply on the skin, but their formula allows them to penetrate the bloodstream like an edible, minus the time needed for digestion. These patches slowly release cannabinoids over the course of hours, with four formulations to choose from. We recommend the Entourage patch, which offers a 2:1 THC:CBD ratio for relaxation and productivity. 

Also available in: Montana, Louisiana, and Arkansas


Colorado

Escape Artists Lavender and Eucalyptus bath bomb

Courtesy Escape Artists

The heyday of the cannabis bath bomb seemed over, but Escape Artists want to bring it back. Their bombs contain 150 mg CBD and 50 mg THC, delivered in a epsom salt and shea butter fizz that soothes the skin and muscles. Lavender and Eucalyptus oils bring the aromatic terpenes to See also: Escape Artists Flights, dissolvable tablets meant to sit between the gums and lips that deliver a cannabinoid cocktail of CBN, CBD, CBG, and THC to give you a first-class ticket to dreamland.

Also available in: Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, and Missouri 


Missouri

Dutch Touch RSO

Green Labs Provisions’ in-house brand, Dutch Touch Genetics, pays homage to Amsterdam and its legacy in the global cannabis space. They won a High Times Cup in 2023 for their flower, and now their flower comes in one of the most medicinally-salient cannabis offerings, Rick Simpson Oil. It sounds and looks a lot scarier than it is, but Rick Simpson Oil has all the benefits of the entourage effect without the need to smoke or consume excessive ingredients. A little bit goes a very long way, and we have this nifty guide to answer any questions that may arise if you decide to take the plunge. 

Mary’s Medicinals 1:1:1 Transdermal Compound

Courtesy Mary’s Medicinals

Mary’s Medicinals popularized the transdermal cannabis patch years ago in California, but they have national appeal. In the Midwest, their transdermal compound shakes up an inhalable consumption routine. Their FORMULA compound in particular makes the perfect new year’s companion with 300 mg apiece of CBD, CBG, and THC, for both localized relief and intense, focusing euphoria. A transdermal topical goes far deeper than a standard cream (but they have those too) and enters the bloodstream, so be mindful if your job requires drug testing. 

Also available in: Colorado, Vermont, California, Ohio, Maryland, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Canada


Maryland

Vibations THCV Electrolyte Drink

Courtesy Vibations

Whether you want to start 2025 as a gym rat or pilates girl—you need to drink water. Water, and electrolytes. Vibations specializes in cannabis-infused hydration drinks (think Gatorade or Liquid IV) that take the edge off your workout and keep your body ready for more. Their newest formula includes THCV in the mix (5 mg per packet) with 10 mg THC for optimal brainpower to hit your new PRs and not snack too much afterwards. Their Lemon Lime flavor is both sugar- and caffeine-free, so you don’t risk being too hyped up.  

Also available in: Massachusetts, Delaware, and Illinois

Curio GI capsules

Courtesy Curio

It seemed like 2024 was the year everyone seemed to want to heal their gut. Social media was awash in fad diets and miracle cures, but you know that we’d never recommend something we didn’t believe in. Curio Wellness is a pillar of Maryland’s cannabis industry for their wide array of both fun and functional products. Capsules are rarely someone’s first choice, but your gut may thank you for picking up some Comfort tablets. These were created with guidance from medical professionals in a ration of 15:40:1 CBD:CBG:THC to minimize gastrointestinal issues and promote healthy and painless digestion.


Nevada

Doctor Solomon’s Restore lotion

Courtesy Doctor Solomon

Nevada is hot and dry, and it shows first on our skin. Doctor Solomon is the cool glass of water you need after a night on the Strip. Their Restore cream wipes the night away with 400 mg total, split between THC and CBD. You can pair the cream with the brand’s own RSO applicator, which they provide in various ratios of THC and CBD.


Washington

Double Delicious Infusionz

Courtesy Double Delicious

Cannabis should be versatile, just like the people who use it. Double Delicious have served Washintonians for a decade, and their Infusionz reflect that. These are oil-based vials that can be applied directly, poured into baths, or combined with hair and body products. You can also pop a Double Delicious gummy or capsule while you moisturize.


New York/ New Jersey

Harney Brothers Happy Hour shots

Courtesy Harney Brothers

No, this shot won’t mess with your Dry January plans. Harney Brothers started their cannabis venture with flower and prerolls, but saw that there was a gap in New York for sippable cannabis, particularly for chronically on-the-go New Yorkers. Their seltzer beverages are a great Spindrift alternative, but something you only have time in the Big Apple for a single gulp. Their Yuzu wellness shot infuses Japanese yuzu (like lemon, but better) and rosemary with 5 mg of THC. It sets in quickly—just enough time to leave the office and head to drinks with coworkers, or swap it for your pre-workout as you head to the gym. 

Nama Energy gummies

Courtesy Nama

Founder Chris Whealan discovered the power of cannabis the hard way—after his cancer diagnosis while in college. His appreciation for the plant led him to create Nama, a CBD brand that has expanded into the world of THC. Nama’s Energy gummies are microdosed with THC and CBD, with B12 and L-Theanine (an amino acid found in green and black tea) to give consumers the surge they need to start the year off right and keep the momentum going all year long.


Illinois

Zero Proof Squeeze 

Courtesy Zero Proof

If you’ve ever found yourself on the water side of Tiktok, where users cocktail tasty creations for their waters with powders and syrups, you may like Zero Proof’s Squeeze drops. These discrete little bottles contain 100 mg of THC, dolled out in 2.5 mg doses, so how stiff you want your drink is entirely up to you. They’re meant as a “dash” of both flavor and effect, with options for lime, cherry, orange, and sweetness that won’t overwhelm you with sugar. 


Oklahoma

Mystery Baking infused honey

Courtesy Mystery Baking

Mystery Baking won silver for their honey as part of Best in Grass’ Oklahoma competition in 2024, showing that not all edible lovers want gummies, cookies, or chocolate. Their honey comes jarred or in stick form, at X mg. Honey on its own has a wide range of health benefits as an antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory remedy for wounds, sore throats, and upset stomachs. It’s also versatile—in tea, baking, with snacks, or just by the spoonful. Add in the psychoactive element and you have a new kitchen staple. 


Arizona

Houseplant THC-infused drinks

Courtesy Houseplant

Seth Rogen’s Houseplant brand expands their US offerings just in time for Dry/Damp/Dank January. Houseplant drinks made their debut in Canada, but now you can get them stateside (but not in all 50). These sparkling drinks, in flavors like pineapple and black cherry, are like an elevated La Croix, elevated by 3 mg of hemp-derived THC per can. Like La Croix, they are sugar-free and 0 calories—if you’re tracking macros. Don’t expect the walls to start melting with these; rather, these low-dose drinks pair perfectly with activities where you need a little pep in your step. You can find them in Total Wine & More stores and online. 

Also available in:, Texas, Indiana, and Florida, with direct shipping options in select states


Aloha RSO Cold Brew

Courtesy Aloha

Let’s be real—it’s hard to stick to any resolution that requires cutting caffeine out of your daily routine. Aloha wants to bring the tropical peacefulness of Hawaii to Arizona, but many of their tasty drinks are admittedly pretty sugary. As a counter, Aloha’s newest product is their cold brew coffee; rather than add dairy or sugar, this coffee is powered by Rick Simpson Oil. So if you find yourself craving a cup of joe, you can have some alongside a dose of Mary Jane. 


Massachusetts

Avexia’s entire line

Avexia is the Greek term for wellness, and Zen leaf’s brand of topicals, capsules, and tinctures that that title to heart. Their offerings include easily-dosed tablets with formulas for both daytime and nighttime, high-potency tinctures (1000 mg!), bath soaks, lotions, and Rick Simpson Oil. all these products are meant to fit into and complement the lifestyle you’re already living, and hopefully make it better. 

Also available in: New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Maryland, Nevada


Maine

Maine Craft Cannabis RSO tincture

Perhaps the greatest obstacle for consumers to overcome when trying Rick Simpson Oil is that it looks weird, and doesn’t taste very good. After all, it’s a whole-plant extract, plant matter and all. Maine Craft Cannabis have made it easier to stomach it and dose it by bottling it and measuring it by drop.     If you still need a palate cleanser, they also offer strain-specific dark chocolate bars to further mask RSO’s unique flavor. 


Montana

High Road Edibles fruit tarts

It’s not a mint, not a Tic-Tac, but something like it. High Road Edibles excels at making edibles that aren’t too decadent—small pieces and conservative sugar content, but still effective. Their fruit tarts have the consistency of an Altoid, but with a fruit flavor rather than menthol. They formulate them with two cannabinoids dosed at 2.5 mg each per piece with a fruit that fits their intended effect. Their Realign tarts, for example, taste like pineapple and contain THC and CBD.


Florida

MUV RSO chocolates

Don’t write Florida off—they’re cooking down there. MUV is a renown These RSO chocolates prove that edibles can toe the line between medicinal value and tasty treat. RSO, as we’ve noted earlier in this article, offers consumers a potency and medicinal benefits that distillate-based edibles and other recipes cannot. Look specifically for the RSO chocolates, as MUV also makes chocolates without it.


National

Brez Cannabis + Mushroom drinks

Weed and mushrooms—two magical plants put on this Earth for us to play with. Brez goes low on the hemp-derived THC with these (only 2.5 mg in their standard can), but they lay the Lion’s Mane mushrooms on thick with a base dose of 1600 mg. The full-spectrum hemp extract may also bless you with a little, CBD, CBG, and the like. These combine to create a subtle, freeing euphoria that soothes from the inside out and will never leave you feeling the way a long night at the bar would. Check your availability for shipping on their website.

STIIIZY Seltzer

Stiiizy’s prolific line of vapes, concentrates, flower and edibles will now quench your thirst, even if you live where their adult-use products aren’t legal. Stiiizy’s infused seltzers use hemp-derived delta-9 THC in a very accessible 5 mg dose. Flavors include Mango Tango, Strawberry Kiwi, and Watermelon Wave.

Incognito G+Ts

A gin and tonic is kind of like the Blue Dream of the cocktail world—it’s been around forever, maybe lost its prestige and sounds lame most nights. But sometimes you feel nostalgic and order one, and it’s great. Incognito’s G&T is a hemp-derived 1:1 THC:CBD drink with just the right amount of lime, juniper, and tonic to keep you flowing throughout the night. Shipping is available to most states; check your availability here.


Canada

Emerald Hour cannabis cocktails

Oh, Canada, we know you make resolutions up there too. Cocktails can be hard to resist, so Emerald Hour (helmed by the Boston Beer Company) made their own, but swapping out proof for pot potency. Now you can crack open a Moscow Mule or Cosmo-inspired cocktail infused with 10mg of rosin to synergy with the drink’s natural flavors. Right now they’re exclusive to Ontario, but will soon appear on shelves nationwide.

Keeler: Do Deion Sanders, CU Buffs have path to College Football Playoff? “They absolutely do”

BOULDER — Ralphie’s path to the College Football Playoff? Turn left at Texas Tech’s secondary, take a right past Isaac Wilson, do a U-turn at Arrowhead and pump the brakes on Ollie Gordon.

“They do (have a way). They absolutely do,” Fox Sports college football analyst Geoff Schwartz told me Thursday. “Because the schedule dictates a chance to win all these (November) games.”

The Red Raiders can’t defend the pass. Utah can’t score. Kansas and Oklahoma State can’t give a darn.
