March Madness is here folks! That special time of year where even the most casual of sports fans are filling out their brackets to see if they have what it takes to win some cash from their friends. And as we all know, it (un)ironically is usually the most casual of sports fans that have the best shot at winning, as there seems to be no rhyme or reason to anything that happens around this time of year, truly earning its title of March Madness. We’ve compiled our own bracket of fan favorite flower to compliment your Madness experience this year, and we assure you that everybody wins here. Let’s take a look:
Elemental Gardens’ Gelato #33: No basketball-related cannabis round-up is complete without Gelato #33 (23.35% THC), nicknamed ‘The Larry Bird Strain’ for sporting Bird’s old NBA number, 33. These chunky buds sporting a subtle purple aroma and wild orange hairs throughout offers a refined sweet-and-earthy aroma reminiscent of other popular Cookies-derived strains. A powerful indica-dominant hybrid, this strain is best reserved for nighttime matchups, where sleep is an option afterward. $35/eighth, WSL.
Connected Cannabis’ Slow Lane: With so much chaos swirling around this March, it’s best to stay safe and steady with Connected Cannabis’ Slow Lane (31.72% THC), a consistent and predictably awesome cannabis experience from beginning to end. This eye-catching strain provides visitors with both jaw-dropping looks and effects, boasting a frosty, vibrant purple exterior with a pleasantly sweet aroma and potent indica-dominant effects. These hearty, dense nuggets are best prepared with a grinder for maximum efficiency. $55/eighth, WSL.
Fig Farms’ City Drifter: With teams from all across the United States competing in cities all across the United States this week, it’s only right that Fig Farms’ City Drifter (30.17% THC) makes an appearance on this week’s list. The folks at Fig come in with another 30%+ tester, somehow still leaving plenty of room for a robust terpene profile that’s equal parts sweet and earthy. These chunky, rock-hard nuggets provide visitors with a visible layer of trichomes coated over a deep-purple body. Another indica-leaning strain, we recommend saving this one for the evening — $55/eighth, WSL.
Maven Genetics’ Pandora: Anything can happen in March basketball (see: #15 seed St. Peter’s in the Sweet 16); one could even say it’s like opening Pandora’s Box, in which case makes Maven Genetics’ Pandora (33.69% THC) an ideal option for the occasion. This Kush Mints x Grape Cuvee cross blesses us with short, robust nuggets that emit a pleasing minty, pine aroma that converts superbly to smoke, providing a top-notch cannabis experience from the cracking of the jar all the way down to the roach. This balanced hybrid is good for anytime use, though with its significant THC content, you may want to make sure you have a clear schedule ahead. $50/eighth, WSL.
Redwood Remedies’ Velvet Glove: We give another nod to an NBA legend to round out this week’s list with Redwood Remedies’ Velvet Glove (31.86% THC) conjuring up images of Oregon State standout Gary Payton, a.k.a. The Glove. These small, tree-shaped buds offer a forest-green hue with rustic orange hairs poking out all over its body. Parent strains GMO x Nookies provide a skunky, earth-like flavor and a sativa-dominant profile that optimize it for morning and/or daytime use. Solid quality at a solid value, just $35/eighth, WSL.
So there it is folks, snag some of these ELITE strains to ensure you have SWEET FINAL week of NCAA hoops this season. Be sure to ask your consultant about these, and other, fan favorite flowers perfect for March Madness.
Hope to see you soon!
