New Year, new you? Then it’s time to stop smoking mids and treat yourself to top-shelf cannabis instead. Continue reading for some of our recommendations on top-shelf weed strains to try in the New Year.
3 Top-Shelf Weed Strains for the New Year
Bacio Gelato
A combination of Sunset Sherbert and Thin Mint Cookies, Bacio Gelato is a hybrid phenotype of the beloved Gelato 41 strain propagated by the growers at Sherbinskis. The flower features a creamy, rich smoke that offers sweet, fruity overtones. Registering an average of 24% THC and 2% CBG, Bacio Gelato is one of the most potent strains in the Gelato family.
Consumers report experiencing relaxed, euphoric, and uplifting senses when enjoying Bacio Gelato. Smokers may use this strain to curb a variety of physical ailments such as insomnia, chronic pain, and stress. Moreover, the most abundant terpene in Bacio Gelato is caryophyllene, giving it sweet, peppery aromas and flavors.
White Runtz
Part Gelato, part Zkittlez, White Runtz by Dutch Brothers Farms is a potent top-shelf hybrid marijuana strain noted for its blanket of white trichomes making its buds look like snow. Consumers report it having a bubbly vanilla soda-like taste, with what one user called a “Tootsie Roll” tasting exhale. Consumers may use this strain to curb a variety of physical ailments such as chronic pain, anxiety, and stress.
Dutch Brothers Farms does a good job developing this consistent tasting White Runtz registering an average of 17% THC. As one reviewer wrote, “There’s a lot of hype around Runtz strains. It’s not the strain as is the grower. This batch I just got was the real deal, grown with love care and attention to detail.” Moreover, the most abundant terpene in White Runtz is limonene, giving it lemony, citrus-like aromas and flavors. Secondary terpenes include caryophyllene (pepper) and linalool, giving it a floral aroma also.
BernieHana Butter
One of the most anticipated strains from Berner, not much is yet documented and known about the cultivation and experience of BernieHana Butter. By all accounts, this strain lives up to expectations built around it on Instagram.
Users claim this top-shelf strain has sweet, buttery, and sort of earthy notes followed by a slightly pungent after smell. “Breaking down the nugs only amplified that buttery smell,” one consumer wrote. “The smoke itself is a symphony of all the flavors we smelled come to life.”
BernieHana Butter is not a strain for beginners, however. In one story, a budtender who smoked the strain got so high he took the downtown train the wrong direction and didn’t even notice until he got to the next station; which is just more of a reason to add BernieHana Butter to your New Year’s purchase list.
