Alien Labs – Agent X Flower
Alien Labs take the top of our holiday list for some good reasons – great top-tier bud, it’s that simple. To celebrate the holidays and end the year on a proper note, we’ve selected their Agent X strain.
Agent X is a 2022 strain release from Alien Labs that is a mix of hit strains Atomic Apple and Xeno #1. Inside those parents are Apple Fritter, Triangle Mints, Kush Mints, and Zkittlez. Bred and grown for Alien Labs, Agent X looks super-green and icy, with a fuel, Z, and mint smell and taste. The perfectly balanced hybrid hits strong, with an uplifting head effect and a relaxed body vibe. Tell Santa to put that in your stocking stuffer!
A Golden State and PHASES Holiday Selects
The minority-owned company is responsible for creating two of the top-selling California cannabis brands, and CEO + founder Nishant Reddy is an industry veteran and disruptor who has championed to certify both brands as carbon neutral – the first in cannabis! – and advocated for bringing more BIPOC leaders like himself to the industry through various efforts, including partnerships with the ACLU of SoCal and other local charitable organizations.
This holiday season, we’ve selected a few of their releases to share with you all. A Golden State releases Empanadas Diez, this indica is an exclusive phenotype that is amazingly balanced and slightly more sedative than other indicas and PHASES shares 3 of their newest products:
Couchlock (available in an 8th), from the Dreamcatcher line, is the first new indica released into PHASES since the brand’s launch, offering a heavy, sleepy effect for rest.
Gorilla Cookies (available in an 8th), from the Reverie line, a hybrid that is a bit more social than the other Reverie strains, providing an elated head high with body tingles.
PHASES Flight features all five of PHASES strains in pre-roll form all in one, including a new hybrid with effects for sociability and a new indica to relax to get you through the holidays. Easy and discreet for traveling!
Nature’s Heritage – Big Smooth Eighth Flower
Santa’s been all over the world, so he’s tried rare, legacy and exotic strains… and knows Nature’s Heritage is one of the perfect curator of his favorite strains. Offering terpene-rich and naturally potent cannabis, the hands-on, hand-crafted approach taken by Nature’s Heritage rivals even Santa’s best helpers.
Nature’s Heritage hits it out the park with this great release of this indica hybrid, Big Smooth. The Big Smooth… need we say more? This sweet and earthy indica hybrid smells deeply of wild blueberries and toasty bakery notes. This dreamy cultivar is a tasty treat for any connoisseur with THC ranges between 23 – 28%.
22Red – Smalls (Half Ounce Offerings)
Even the smallest of gifts make the best treats. That’s just the case with 22Red’s smalls, which are available in half-ounce bags. Though the size of the nug may be smaller than their Kolas, there’s no sacrifices made to the caliber of flower. These mini but mighty terpy buds are available in four strains, BCC x Jealousy (hybrid), Hippie Crasher (indica hybrid), Grape Stomper (sativa hybrid), and ZK (indica hybrid). If you’re not looking for a gift for someone in particular, you can also get yourself a small stash to elevate decking the halls.
Big Island Grown (B.I.G.) – Golden Lemons Flower
Start singing Mele Kalikimaka because when Santa comes to town, he trades the lei for a
different Hawaiian flower, with Big Island Grown’s highest-grade cannabis medicine.
Golden Lemons comes from DNA Genetics and this is indica leaning hybrid strain that combines the potent effects of Kosher Kush and the dank, lemon flavor of Lemon Skunk. Frosty, lime green buds, potent citrus aroma and the strength of a classic kush makes this a favorite for relaxing the body and mind.
Dank by Definition – Velvet Vampire
Representing the great state of New York comes Dank by Definition, a brand committed to providing its locals with quality and delicious strains. We selected one of their popular releases, Velvet Vampire, an exquisite hybrid strain derived from the combination of Red Velvet Cake and London Pound Cake. It entices the senses with a fragrant vanilla frosting aroma and offers a delectable and creamy flavor profile. Alongside its delightful taste, this strain provides a highly enjoyable high that combines soothing and grounding effects, creating a sense of relaxation and elevation.
