This summer, connoisseur smokers start a forest fire of the stone fruit dessert strain Georgia Pie all across the US. Why? Because it’s Gelatti x Kush Mints, with a peach, apricot, and tree fruit note; and it’s bred by the best—Seed Junky Genetics—with a chill, hybrid, summer party vibe.
Georgia Pie appears on nearly 2,000 menus listed on Leafly—up nearly 100% from a year ago. Now a top 200 strain in availability, Georgia Pie is officially our Leafly HighLight for August.
Dispensaries serve Georgia Pie as top-shelf flower for $50 an eighth, as well as 6-star ice water hash worth more per gram than gold.
The Cookies brand helped build the flavor into a nationwide wave, and it’s fast-becoming a staple. For example, smokers in Detroit have 129 Georgia Pie products on menus—from pre-rolls, to jars, to vapes, to dabs.

Breeders remix Georgia Pie into the newest of the new-new like Georgia Pie x Z, and Cereal A La Mode. Georgia Pie went into Khalifa Kush and Cookies’ new Babby Powder.
Georgia Pie sports a review score of 4.6 out of 5, with 134 written reviews, and nearly 5,000 likes. One Leafly just reads: “Damn son.”
Testing into the mid-20s of THC percentage—the potent, hybrid cultivar elicits a mood lift, good vibes, and a mission to the refrigerator.
“This strain is best used at family reunions and all-you-can-eat buffets.”
“This strain is best used at family reunions and all-you-can-eat buffets.”
Reviewers report using it for anxiety, stress, and pain.
“Nice chill body high that helped me with chronic pain which is amazing, but the thing that made this the one for me is the feeling of relaxed joy that it gave me.”
How much does Georgia Pie cost?
You can get Georgia Pie cheap, or pricey—the quality varies. The cultivar matures into a commodity crop on one end, and top-shelf zaza on the other.
The top in California includes Rosin Tech Labs Georgia Pie one-gram disposable vapes for $70, or $94 grams of ice water hash. That’s worth more than gold. On the low end, Washington has an ounce of Georgia Pie flower for $40.

If you want to sit down at the table for America’s connoisseur cannabis conversation, get the scoop on Georgia Pie. The parents, Gelatti and Kush Mints? Foundational. Breeder Seed Junky Genetics has plenty of new seeds for sale working offspring of both strains.
Powerzzzup made Cereal A La Mode with Cereal Milk x Georgia Pie—so look out for his seeds on Cookies Seedbank. Breeder Exotic Genetix made Southern Sugar with it.
Raw Genetics might work G.P. the hardest—they have Cherry Paloma, Zkittlez Pie, Kaiju Breath, Georgia Pie S1, Georgia Apple Pie, GMO Pie, and Galaxy Glaze.

Georgia Pie awards
The next award-winner. CAM-grown Georgia Pie x Z in Cali. (David Downs/Leafly)
Georgia Pie has an award-winning pedigree in the parents, Gelatti and Kush Mints. Georgia Pie itself has stepped into some very competitive rings and came home with trophies. A GP took second in hybrid flower in Oklahoma’s Medical Cup, grown by Tradecraft Farms. And Georgia Pie also took a third in sungrown flower in 2022’s The Emerald Cup, grown by Farmer and the Felon x Cookie Fam.
Georgia Pie terpenes
Georgia Pie’s peach, apricot, and tree fruit smells come out of the unique combination of aroma molecules called terpenes. Caryophyllene, limonene, and pinene stand out in Georgia Pie, according to averages of lab tests. The caryophyllene functions as the gassy backbeat, while the zesty limonene and exotic pinene play a duet with the lesser terpenes. You can shop by terp on the Strains section of the Leafly site.

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.
BOULDER — The Travis Hunter Heisman Train could soon be getting back on track.
Hunter, the Buffs’ two-way star, “should play, for certain” at Arizona on Saturday, coach Deion Sanders said during a news conference Tuesday.
The junior cornerback/wide receiver left CU’s home loss to Kansas State last weekend after taking a hit to his upper body with 8:08 left in the second quarter.
Planning on working next weekend? You’re doing it wrong.
Summer officially ends with the Labor Day weekend—which means barbecues, hikes, parades, concerts, and some serious seshing.
Labor Day and the fall season make for superb occasions to rip the vape. THC vape carts and pods get you lit in a low-profile way—that means no stink-eye from judgy parents or nosy neighbors. You just sip it and rip it to get lifted on the tastiest terps legal weed has to offer.
Here are some of our favorites.
California
Arcata Fire Rosin Syrup Disposable

A brand that’s made a big splash with its cartridge lines, Arcata Fire has multiple awards for its vape flavors. They produce a killer 510 threaded live rosin and live resin selection, but for those looking for that top-shelf experience, track down one of their AVD hardware Rosin Syrup disposables, especially the Lantz flavor they made together with Ridgeline Farms. At Hash Week in San Francisco, they held a sneak peek at some upcoming flavors and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them taking home another trophy next year. (Matt Jackson)
Suprize Suprize Live Resin Carts
Part of Royal Key, one of the best living soil producers on the West Coast, Suprize Suprize is their art department, releasing collabs not just between them and farmers but artists as well. These full-gram 510 cartridges and all-in-one disposables are made from fresh frozen flower only and have flavors like Apricot Cherry Chill and Midnight Sapphire. We recommend searching out the Fuel Z, a ((Sunset Sherbet x (OGTT) x (RS11 x Geist)) No.186. Featuring the same batch of Live Resin they use in their super popular jars of frosting, just split into two formulations for the vape smokers in their audience. (Matt Jackson)
Shasta Hash Co. Rosin Disposable
A newer name to some of you Cali smokers living outside the central area, Shasta Hash Co. has been pumping out disposable rosin pens that are lighting up consumers as well as the Reddit threads. They have a massively tasty Grape Gas right now that’s a big score if you can find it, or try the Ambrosia which combines that with some strong Orange Terps. Shasta Hash Co. uses O2 vape hardware which seems to be the biggest hit with small-batch hash makers who are trying to get the best terp expression from their work. The vape world keeps moving to ‘solventless’ and away from volatile solvents like butane. (Matt Jackson)
Located in Eugene, Oregon, this small-scale, family farm holds the title for best pod/cartridge from the Oregon Grower’s Cup in 2023 and previously won their Master Grower title in 2020. Fenario Farms runs a bunch of gear from noteworthy breeders like Symbiotic Genetics, Archive Seed Bank, and Masonic Seed. Their half-gram, disposable rosin pods feature iKrusher hardware and, along with a great Papaya, the flavor lineup right now has a couple of extra notable hitters on deck like the Grape Fanta and Super Boof. (Matt Jackson)
Entourage works with a number of incredible partner farms throughout Oregon. They recently released a full-gram live resin all-in-one which carries enormous clouds of flavor but we want to focus on their outstanding selection of live resin 510 threaded cartridges. For smokers looking for something classic or that they’ve never had the chance to try before, Entourage has flavors like Caffeine x Gold Moonshine, Lebanese Spice, and Portofino #13. We highly recommend lighter smokers check out their Nightmare Cookies, which despite the name actually carries a 2:1 CBD to THC ratio. (Matt Jackson)
Washington
Pacific & Pine Live Rosin Cartridge
Residing in the eastern high plains of Washington, this farm specializes in native soil-grown cannabis and is proudly family-owned and operated. They have a line of half-gram, solventless, single-source, ceramic AVD 510 cartridges that are a big hit. You can also get them in an all-in-one version. Check out Guava Wookie or the Orange Fruit Snax. (Matt Jackson)
Blush Velvet Rosin Disposable
The female-owned hash brand Blush Velvet has a great lineup of rosin disposables that they’ve put out on the market including Gelato Mintz and Birkinz. These feature O2 Vapes rechargeable hardware and represent some of the best top-shelf options for Washington’s solventless vape fans. (Matt Jackson)
Colorado
Green Dot Labs Live Rosin Carts
Colorado’s mile-high altitude and arid air can be brutal on fresh flower, but it’s perfect for making hash. Colorado’s leading concentrate brand Green Dot Labs gets the terps flowing with their “Blue Label” line of single-source, live-rosin carts. The plant never touches butane or other volatile solvents. They do it all with ice, water, screens, heat, and pressure. Green Dot’s hardware is high-end, too. They use borosilicate glass and stainless steel—so there’s no plastic mixing with the oil. The 510-thread carts work best with their variable-voltage battery for a super-low-temp ‘sesh mode.’ Strains right now include Red Froot, Blu Froot, Holy F#@k, and Thunderdome.
Arizona
Connected live resin cartridges
Arizona is awash in vape carts—with nearly 700 cartridge options in Phoenix alone. The Copper State is still getting up the learning curve on live rosin, but they’ve got plenty of live resin and distillate carts on tap for the pool party. Standing out—Connected brand live resin carts of Lemonatti (Gelonade x Biscotti)—a chill, flavorful hybrid. Connected has been leading the cannabis game since the medical era in California.
See also: MPX Melting Point Extracts Triangle Kush sauce cart; the Select BRIQ all-in-one 2-gram Clementine; nugrun live resin all-in-one Forbidden Fruit, Canamo all-in-one live resin Blue Dream. More top vape brands in Arizona: Stiiizy, MFused, Select, and Canamo.
Michigan
Element live resin disposables
Michigan legalization has resulted in intense competition and even bigger savings and quality for consumers. One-gram vape carts start at just $7—versus $70 in command economies like New York. All the big brands play in The Mitt—including Select, ROVE, Airo, Stiiizy, and Timeless vapes. So what’s good? Check out the Element brand live resin all-in-one (aka ‘disposable’) vape in strains like Peanut Butter Breath. The cart hits crazy strong and tasty, with 81% THC and 9.65% terpenes. The multi-cannabis cup-winning brand avoids distillate and sketchy additives like non-cannabis flavorings. Other strains include Gorilla Cherry, Island Paradise, Rainbow Belts, Strawberry Cream Cake, Moby Grape, and Granny’s Apple Fritter.
Ohio
Select BRIQ Elite
Ohio’s legal weed regime is less than a month old and sales are hot, hot, hot. Run, do not walk to the limited supplies of legal, tested vapes—and avoid sketchy vapes sold on the streets and head shops. Popular national brand Select brings its all-in-one device the BRIQ to recreational smokers in the hot strain Bubblegum Gelato. The 2-gram unit runs $75. See also: Timeless Vapes, and Vapen.
Illinois
Daze Off Jokerz #31 + Dante’s Inferno
Chi-town comes down from a raucous Democratic National Convention this week—good thing there are over 300 vape options in the city. The brand Daze Off clearly understands the assignment with a brilliant lineup of new cultivars in vape form. Other strains include Crossbreeze (Cap Junky + Jungle Lava), French Inhale (YUZU Sorbet + Jokerz 31), Alternate Reality (Durban Poison + MAC 1), Power Stone (Jokerz 31 + Florida Oranges), Arc Reactor (Durban Poison + NF-1). Daze Off comes from the grower making Aeriz products. See also in Illinois: Rhythm, Cresco,
New York / New Jersey
Luci Live Rosin AIO
New York’s market is young, but their operators remain dedicated to the grind of staying on trend. Luci made a splash this past year with their 2-gram hash hole joints, and now they’re rounding out their product line with dabbables and vapes. For optimal discretion and optimal terps, their live rosin all-in-one half-gram disposables deliver, with a range of fruit forward strains like Strawberry Parfait. These run a pretty penny, ($60 for half a gram) but the pairing of potency and pungent flavor make them well worth it for terpheads. We recommend the classic Blueberry Muffin. (Amelia Williams)
Massachusetts
Suncrafted Cannabis live rosin vapes
We already gave Suncrafted Cannabis a shoutout for their award-winning rosin gummies, but their accolades don’t stop there. Their in-house live rosin vape cart placed fourth at the 2024 Boston NECANN Cup, for good reason. Their options run the terp spectrum, from Mandarin Cookies to Garlic Butter, and offer high-CBD options for those who need an alternative to THC. (Amelia Williams)
Beboe Downtime Vape Pen
Massachusetts’ legal cannabis market keeps improving this fall. Boston alone has 246 legal, tested vape options—crazy considering its Puritan roots. One unique national standout—the Beboe Downtime vape pen. It’s classier, effect-based, and lower-THC for a more mature crowd. The pen comes “socially dosed” at 60% THC, which is plenty. Additionally, it has 15% CBD to prevent anxiousness. The ‘downtime’ effects also come from a custom blend of minor cannabinoids CBN, CBG, and CBDV. See also in Massachusetts: The Clear, Airo, Sanctuary Medicinals, and Fernway.
Maryland
SunMed Labs live resin carts
SunMed Growers is one of Maryland’s biggest cultivators, but their sister brand SunMed Labs handles the extracts and vapables. You can get disposables and distillates, if that’s your thing, but their live-resin 510 carts maintain the integrity of their greenhouse flower strains, and run the gamut of classics and new flavors. We recommend the immutable Maui Wowie, Lemon Berry Tart, and Kush Cake. (Amelia Williams)
Maine
Third Shift Resin live rosin carts
Maine has no shortage of heady hash, but not everyone can transfer that solventless integrity from the jar to the cart. Third Shift Resin, however, have managed to package their beloved line of rosin into vape pens in over a dozen strains. Exotic, little-known flavors are their specialty, with options like Pineapple Kiwi, Dole Whip, and Piegasm Punch. Just make sure your medical card is up to date, as they are for patients only, but offer reciprocity for patients from 28 states, plus D.C. See also: Maine Craft Cannabis (Amelia Williams)
Missouri
The Clear Blue Raz 2-gram distillate cart
Missouri has 100% legal cannabis and it’s awesome. Kansas City, MO alone has 126 vape options for pickup and delivery. On the top shelf, The Clear brand distillate carts like Blue Raz. The fat tank contains 2 grams of potent oil that tests at 85% THC and other cannabinoids. Blue Raz tastes bright, sweet, and jammy—juicy and sweet enough to have you think about the last time you had a slushie. The Clear uses food-grade glass tanks, stainless steel posts, and ceramic heating tech—as opposed to cheaper plastic. The Clear brand helped pioneer legal extracts all the way back in 2012 in California. Other cultivars include Grapevine and Lime Sorbet all-in-one. See also: BRIQ, The Clear, ROVE, Timeless, Airo.
New Mexico
ghost. Blue Dream 2g All-In-One’
One of the southwest’s newest legal weed states, New Mexico gets up to speed on national trends this fall. For example, the brand ghost. offers a 2-gram ‘all-in-one’ ready-to-use vape in the most popular flavor of the US—Blue Dream. Ghost started in 2019, and the all-in-one has this small, innocuous form factor that won’t attract attention. Other cultivars in the solid lineup include Black Mamba, Apple Jacks, GMO, Slurricane, Guava, and Horchata. See also in New Mexico: Dime, O.pen, Airo.
Pennsylvania
Standard Farms All-in-One rosin vape
Don’t write off the medical-only states. Standard Farms have products in multiple states, but only Pennsylvania have their new rosin vapes, available in both 510 and disposable form. Your best bet at finding flavors like Biscotti Pie and Blue Slushie are at Rise dispensaries throughout the state. (Amelia Williams)
And that’s 15 states of tasty vapes for Labor Day 2024 and beyond. There’s even more so take a spin around Leafly.
