What’s up, this is David Downs—your Senior Editor over at Leafly News with a quick rundown on new stuff you can do on Leafly for April 2023. We got new strains, expert cannabis product picks, a better app experience, and more. That’s right—it’s some classic company blog time.
What is Leafly?
Leafly is where the world gets its cannabis info (and has been since 2012.) We list more than 6,000 strains, 4,000-plus store menus, and hundreds of thousands of strain and store reviews from tens of millions of annual visitors. Nobody does it better.
Fresh weed strains, with more to come
People come to Leafly to visit our more than 6,000 unique, hand-crafted Strain Pages, and we’re adding more to the database daily.
In March, we added or updated dozens of strains like the new RS11 cross 11:11; The Bird from Humboldt Seed Co; Skywalker OG got its name back; Chemdog’s name spelling got clarified; and the new Z Cap blew our lids off. Users also requested we add Sweet Cheesus, The Stilton, Orange Bang, and many more.
Email strains@leafly.com with any recommended additions, corrections, or clarifications—we’re here to serve.

Leafly app news—more discovery, more deals, less friction
Leafly works best in the iOS and Android apps, and we make the Leafly app better each month by fixing bugs, and adding new tools to get you to the bag faster.
As of this April, you can:
- Save money by finding more deals on the Home Page, see new deal types, and see better deal pricing across the web and the app.
- Get more local options to shop when you are News and Learn pages.
- Get a smoother checkout experience on iOS for I Heart Jane users
- Forgot to stock up before you ran out? We’ve got an email reminder for that!
Shop it like it’s hot
We’re always working to make it easier to shop for strains. That makes sense since we’ve got 6,000+ strains listed in the Leafly database. In March, we added a bigger, more prominent “shop” button to more strain pages to let you know when that strain is for sale at stores near you.
