BEYOND THE BONG: TOP 12 WAYS TO TAKE THIS 420 TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Yes, yes, flower is still the number one cannabis product category in the US. But alternative consumption methods are coming on strong in 2024. Convenience is a factor in the rising interest, along with innovations in delivery. Vapes are now available with live resin or rosin. Some pre-rolls come infused with traditional hash or other solventless extracts for increased potency. Today’s edibles offer more consistent results compared to their earlier counterparts. Plus, now they come in so many different, tasty options. Not to mention the beverages. While still new, cannabis-infused drinks are quickly becoming popular beyond Dry January. But we didn’t forget the King of 420: the flower. Genetics are always evolving and farms are making great strides in cultivation. You can’t go wrong with the OG.

California is the top cannabis market by sales, and that means a lot of choice across all categories. We did the hard work for you and extracted the best for 420.

There are over 7000 cannabis dispensaries in the US. Add those to the 2500 or so in Canada, and North America accounts for 96.8% of the world cannabis market. Consumers here are becoming more informed and educated about cannabis and the myriad of products available as they gain better access to retail establishments. Whatever kind of experience you are looking for, sophisticated or fun, boutique or bodega, the right dispensary (or delivery service) is out there. We weeded through the best in the country to find our top 10.

Hemp-derived CBD and Delta-8 products are legal in most states, and as Marijuana’s “little sisters,” CBD and the minor cannabinoids are not as psychoactively potent but still produce many of the other effects of weed. CBD is used to reap the benefits of cannabis for everything from pain relief to skin issues, while hemp-derived delta-8 has about two-thirds to one-half the psychoactive potency of traditional delta-9 THC but may produce similar pain relief and relaxation levels.
