Good Tide Hash Rosin Gummies are making waves in Arizona’s cannabis scene as some of the freshest, most flavorful edibles around. Infused with solventless hash rosin and real fruit puree, these gummies deliver bold, tropical flavor without artificial additives. Vegan-friendly and eco-conscious, each gummy packs a precise 10-milligram THC dose for full-spectrum effects that feel clean, consistent and uplifting. What sets Good Tide apart is the vibe: flavors like pineapple, passionfruit and mango don’t just taste great — they transport you straight to a beachy state of mind. Add in compostable packaging and a sustainability-first approach, and you’ve got gummies that not only hit the mark but also feel good to buy. Bright, reliable and seriously tasty, Good Tide Hash Rosin Gummies prove that edibles can be as fun as they are refined.

Since last year, Supurb began delivering cannabis to recreational users in addition to the medical marijuana patients it has served for years. It’s an easy-to-use platform that connects buyers with a variety of nearby dispensary options and its drivers make deliveries between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m., seven days a week, placing orders in discreet black bags. They only accept cash purchases, which is in line with the rest of the industry, and delivery fees are variable based on how much product someone is ordering. If you’re staying in one place and not in a hurry, it’s a great way to get your green delivered right to your door.

Whether you’re walking up the front steps of Bud’s Fifth Street location inside a bungalow-style home or walking past the colorfully crocheted trees into its Grand Avenue spot, each trip to Bud’s provides a unique — and deeply local — experience. Inside, knowledgeable and kind staff help you navigate their selection to find the glassware of your dreams, or at least one in your price point. The head shop’s ever-changing selection has something new for its customers every time they visit. They have classic clear bongs on the lineup, but customers looking for unique options are in the right place. Bongs, pipes and other glassware crafted by local artists host a variety of vibrant colors, designs, sizes and shapes. Plus, if you need a replacement piece for your setup, like a bowl or downstream, Bud’s staff will help set up with the correct piece to get you back to puffing and passing.

It’s All Goodz is Phoenix’s go-to glass shop for anyone who takes their sesh seriously. With over 25 years in the game, they’ve built a reputation for stocking top-tier gear and a rotating lineup of artisan pieces that collectors chase. Whether you’re after a sleek daily driver or a showpiece rig, the shelves are stacked and the selection is always fresh. Live glassblowing demos add a fiery touch, showcasing local and nationally known artists shaping molten magic right in front of you. The vibe is part gallery, part gear haven and all about the culture. Need a repair? They’ve got that covered, too. What really seals the deal is the management: These folks know their glass, their gear and their customers. They’re approachable, informed and genuinely passionate about helping you find the perfect piece. If you’re looking for craftsmanship, community and a little smoke-shop soul, It’s All Goodz delivers.

You’ve seen bongs with impressive external glasswork or funky designs on the inside, but these bongs from Terracotta Disco are a unique sight to behold. This Mesa-based business, created and run by artist Kelsey Azevedo, creates ornate bongs (or “functional garden glass”) out of repurposed decanters. Terracotta Disco’s 11,000 Instagram followers see a large range of unique bongs, small pipes, stash jars and ashtrays. But the true beauties are the bongs. A dark green depression-glass decanter with a triangle-shaped base has been transformed into a functional water pipe. Another looks like a light-blue spiral shell. A newer decanter looks like a spiky blue ball, but now, it has a mouthpiece popping out the side and is a smoker’s favorite accessory.

If you’ve ever been to a cannabis event in Arizona, chances are you’ve already seen Mayah in action: packing dabs of WTF’s wax into a rig, loading Vortex flower into a bong or lighting up a joint with her signature spinner lighter. But she’s more than just a camera-ready toker — Mayah knows her terps, talks THC with confidence and understands exactly how different products hit. What sets her apart is her ability to connect with both seasoned smokers and canna-curious newcomers. Whether she’s giving strain reviews, breaking down effects or casually pulling off a flawless French inhale followed by a clouded exhale, her content feels real. She brings that same energy to live events, where she’s hands-on with product demos and always ready to educate while she elevates. Behind the aesthetics is solid influence. Mayah’s content doesn’t just get likes — it moves product. Through IG reels and trade shows, she’s proven herself as one of the most effective and respected cannabis influencers in the Valley.

If Bob Ross smoked blunts and hosted fashion shows, it might look a lot like Chel X’s Puff & Paint experience. This monthly pop-up fuses cannabis, creativity and community in a way that turns every session into a full-blown vibe. During events in Mesa, Phoenix and Flagstaff, Chel brings the energy — and the extras. Each ticket includes a preroll, a pre-sketched canvas and a guided painting class led by the ever-inspiring Poetic Nicki. No painting skills? No problem. You’ll be vibing too hard to stress about your brushstrokes anyway. With music from DJ Pootiecat, fashion-forward guests and a laid-back atmosphere that welcomes everyone, Chel’s events feel more like a block party with paintbrushes. It’s creative, it’s elevated and it’s the kind of night you’ll want to post about before the paint even dries.

Chef Aliya Waldman’s Chartreuse Dinner Club is a slow-burn sensation — an intimately dope four-course supper club where cannabis isn’t just an ingredient, it’s the vibe. Tucked inside a midcentury Phoenix pad, this underground dinner party seats just eight lucky guests. Picture passing pumpkin chili-crisp pasta and truffle-roasted potatoes to new friends while discussing terpenes and tiramisu (yes, it’s strawberry-dusted and infused). Each plate is dosed to your preference, so whether you’re microdosing or chasing the munchies, you’re covered. The setting is a retro-modern sanctuary: rattan chairs, flickering candles and a glowing LED “Tunnel of Bud” entrance that sets the tone. For $175, you get more than a meal — you get a guided journey through food, flavor and flower. Waldman’s charm, precision and hospitality elevate the experience from secret supper to culinary cannabis culture shift. Spots go fast, so don’t sleep — unless the edible kicks in.

Sean Roussin isn’t just growing weed — he’s growing legends. With over two decades in the cultivation game, this Humboldt State grad and 2019 Farmers Cup winner has leveled up Arizona’s cannabis scene in record time. After earning his stripes in SoCal’s elite grow circles, Roussin brought his mad scientist energy to the desert, founding Vortex Premium Cannabis — and let’s just say the Valley’s never been more lifted. His proprietary strains are the stuff of smoker folklore, each dripping with terps, wrapped in frosty, trichome-packed beauty and testing at high climbing THC levels. Sean doesn’t just grow — he breeds, cross-breeds and fine-tunes every strain from scratch. The result? Gassy indicas that glue you to the couch, sativas that make Sedona energy look weak and hybrids that taste like they were made in a candy-coated galaxy. Word travels fast — rappers and heavy hitters from coast to coast are already co-signing his flower. But you don’t need a co-sign. Crack open a Vortex jar and inhale. You’ll know.

Josh Kesselman has elevated rolling papers from utility to cultural icon. As the founder of RAW, he built a brand that’s globally recognized and deeply rooted in metro Phoenix, where the company is headquartered. His obsession with quality shows in everything from the unbleached, natural paper made in his Spanish factory to the imaginative accessories that feel straight out of a stoner’s sketchbook. Need proof? Look no further than the cone-holding umbrella that lets you light up in the rain; or the giant inflatable RAW joints seen at pool parties across the Valley and festivals nationwide. Most recently, Kesselman acquired High Times, the iconic cannabis magazine. The move isn’t just business; it’s a powerfully symbolic moment for someone who’s long been immersed in weed culture and advocacy. Whether he’s creating viral gear or reshaping cannabis media, Josh Kesselman isn’t following trends — he’s setting them, one meticulously crafted joint at a time.

The Arizona Cannabis Awards Music Festival is where blunts meet beats and trophies get passed like joints. Held at Legends Event Center, this annual high-honors bash is part awards show, part hip-hop concert, part smoke-fueled expo — and 100% lit. Past performers have included rap royalty like Mike Jones, Kurupt, Luniz, Spice 1 and Lil Xan, who often spark up mid-set as the crowd cheers. Between sets, guests browse rows of vendors slinging everything from infused snacks to terp-heavy carts, while local brands compete for Best Preroll, Best Dispensary and bragging rights for days. It’s not just a show — it’s a full-blown celebration of Arizona’s cannabis community. Though no on-site toking is allowed, as stated on the website (buzzkill, we know), does anybody ever follow the rules? Either way, the energy stays sky high. Whether you’re repping your brand or just vibing to classic “mota-head” bangers, this fest proves weed and hip-hop still roll best together.

Located on nightlife hub Mill Avenue, the High Lounge blends curated comfort with laid-back luxury. It’s more than a cannabis lounge — it’s a space where style meets sesh. With retro games, sleek decor and plenty of room to relax in, it sets the mood for chilling out or connecting without the noise. Guests check in with ID and bring their own cannabis. The lounge provides everything else: clean vibes, comfy seating and a crowd that knows their flower. Weekly events feature drops and pop-ups from the headiest brands, keeping the calendar fresh and the crowd lifted. Think mixers, launches and a few surprise guest appearances that make each visit feel like a new strain of fun. Need gear? You can rent a bong, pipe, or even a Volcano — because sometimes your sesh deserves a little extra elevation. Local snacks and nonalcoholic drinks round out the experience, and membership perks include discounts for MMJ cardholders and veterans. If you’re looking for high standards with low pressure, the High Lounge delivers. Come for the quiet cool, stay for the elevated company.

Tallymon by Grow Sciences is Arizona’s solventless standout. This cold-cured hash rosin delivers full-spectrum effects with a terpene profile that’s loud, lush and unmistakably papaya-forward. The flavor leans tropical with a minty menthol twist from its Do-Si-Dos lineage, rounded out by subtle banana undertones that keep each hit smooth and layered. What makes it our favorite? The craftsmanship. Grow Sciences handles everything in-house — from cultivation to extraction — ensuring purity, potency and consistency in every batch. No solvents, no shortcuts, just elite rosin backed by rigorous testing and a deep respect for the plant. Expect high THC, silky pulls and a euphoric high that’s balanced enough for creative flow or mellow evening vibes. Whether you’re a seasoned hash head or just rosin-curious, Tallymon sets the bar for what premium solventless should taste and feel like.

The array of cannabis products on the market today is staggering. Canna cookies. Canna seltzers. Canna pizza. If you can consume it, someone makes an infused version. Sprinkle, a Valley-based company, has simplified your THC consumption. Their product is a fast-acting, water-soluble powder that you can put in your drink for a refreshing way to get high. They have blends for energy, relaxation and rest, and the powders come in single-serving packets for when you’re on the go or a bulk jar to keep at home. You’ll find drink recipes on the Sprinkle website; we’re already dreaming of relaxing with a Lemon Ginger Fizz or enjoying a Lavender Honey Tonic before bedtime.

Trulieve’s 14 Valley locations have nailed what it takes to be a top-tier dispensary. Their stores are always clean, modern and easy to navigate, with clearly labeled displays, wide-open spaces and a layout that makes shopping stress-free. Prefer to order ahead? Their online system is one of the best in the game — it’s simple, smooth and synced to real-time inventory. New customers receive 51% off their first order, and daily deals offer up to 50% off select products. But it’s not always about discounts. Trulieve grows its own cannabis in tightly controlled environments, cutting down on unwanted chemicals and keeping things consistent from seed to sale. The staff — known as “cannabists” — are friendly and informed, ready to walk you through terpenes, edibles, topicals and everything in between. The wide selection, high-quality flower, user-friendly tech and welcoming vibe make Trulieve the complete package.

Gelato’s Last Bite series flips the script on edibles, because who says the best part of dessert can’t come with a buzz? These mini ice cream cone-shaped cookies pack 10 milligrams of THC per piece and taste as good as they hit. Each box comes with 10 perfectly dosed treats, making it easy to share with friends or microdose your way through a Netflix binge. Handmade in small batches with Fair Trade ingredients, these infused morsels don’t cut corners on flavor or ethics. You’ve got three gourmet options to choose from: Strawberry Chocolate (a fruity crunch with a cocoa kick), Milk Chocolate Caramel (smooth and gooey with just the right sweetness) and Cookies & Cream White Chocolate (think childhood fave with an adult twist). Cute, crunchy and potent, Last Bites are a reminder that sometimes the best high comes in the tiniest package. Dessert just got an upgrade.

We’ll never forget the first time we tried a Diablo product. Tempted by a rep standing in the waiting room of a dispensary, we purchased a bag of Diablo’s Stix, an infused Hot Cheeto-like product. They were so delicious that we temporarily forgot that each one has 5 milligrams of THC. (Believe us, we figured it out soon enough.) That was the gateway, and since then, we’ve come to appreciate Diablo’s sweet and savory infused snacks. The chocolate-covered pretzels hit our sweet spot, and the Danksicles — ice pops in Wild Cherry and Blue Razzberry flavors — are refreshing and relaxing on a hot summer day. For a high with a side of nostalgia, Diablo made Incredibles, their version of the Uncrustables PB&J sandwich. Not content to make one type of edible, Diablo keeps innovating to keep our taste buds entertained.

Grow Sciences doesn’t just make cartridges — they set the bar. Their Live Resin carts are crafted with full-spectrum extraction that preserves the plant’s natural terpene and cannabinoid profile. No distillate, no additives, no shortcuts — just clean, potent oil that hits smooth and tastes true to the strain. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure purity and potency, and the flavor lineup is consistently rich and nuanced. Whether you’re chasing bold effects or a terpene-rich experience, these carts deliver with precision and consistency. From cultivation to extraction, everything is done in-house by a team that treats cannabis like craft. There’s no outsourced flower, no mystery oil — just a premium product backed by transparency and passion. If you’re tired of filler and fluff, Grow Sciences is the gold standard for Arizona’s cartridge game.

A staple of nearly every dispensary’s preroll lineup, Roll One’s offerings are inexpensive, dependable and high-quality. Going for just $7 each at Trulieve and Curaleaf, or less if there’s a sale or combo deal, these smooth, easy-to-smoke prerolls are great to pass around a party or enjoy with a couple of friends. Plus, you don’t have to get your hands sticky to take the time to roll the joint yourself. The brand has a large selection of hybrid, sativa and indica strains with fun names like Banana Brulee, Quad Burger and Garlic OZ. While you may get some occasional cannoning or have to fight through flower that’s packed too tightly, for the price, it’s a hard bargain to beat.

Zkittlez isn’t just a strain, it’s a statement. This indica-dominant hybrid has earned its stripes with award-winning potency and a terpene profile that’s as complex as it is unforgettable. Expect a fruit-forward aroma bursting with grape candy, tropical citrus, lavender and a hint of diesel, all wrapped in a smooth, euphoric high that melts away stress without knocking you out. What makes it the absolute best? It’s the pedigree and precision. Bred from Grape Ape and Grapefruit, Zkittlez has taken home top honors at multiple Cannabis Cups, including the Emerald Cup’s coveted Top Indica award. Alien Labs rebranded it as “Z” to sidestep legal drama, but the flavor and effects remain legendary. Whether you’re chasing deep relaxation or just want a smoke that tastes like a vacation, Zkittlez delivers. It’s the gold standard for indica lovers — our top pick for a flavorful, full-bodied experience.

Here’s the dilemma. We want to relax, but we don’t want to be so stoned that we’re out of commission. It’s a fine line to walk, but we make the balancing act happen with Jenny Kush. The strain was bred by Rare Dankness Seeds, and it’s a cross of Rare Dankness #2 and Amnesia Haze. Named after cannabis activist Jenny Monson, who was killed by a wrong-way drunk driver in 2013, the strain makes us happy, high and just a little bit buzzy. We can watch a movie, but don’t ask us to pick up a book. Though technically a sativa-dominant hybrid rather than a true sativa, we find that the ratios work perfectly for when we want to mellow out, not pass out.

Donny Burger isn’t here for the lightweight rookies. This heavy-hitting indica from Vortex Premium Cannabis brings a bold mix of earth, fuel and that indisputable GMO funk, backed by a gassy aroma that makes itself known the second the jar cracks open. If you’re into loud weed that fills the room before it even hits the grinder — this is it. The effects are just as intense. Expect a full-body melt paired with a stoney, cerebral drift that borders on narcotic. It’s the kind of strain that shuts it all down — in the best way possible. It’s ideal for seasoned smokers seeking deep relaxation, nighttime use or a mental vacation from the chaos of the day. Donny Burger doesn’t pretend to be balanced. It’s pure power in flower form, delivering a no-nonsense, lights-out experience that reminds you why some strains need to be approached with respect.

Even in an era when online shopping is ubiquitous, we still like the up-close-and-personal method of consumerism. Let us touch, feel and smell what we’re thinking of purchasing. At most dispensaries, all the goods are behind a counter, and if we’re indecisive, we’re going to drive the budtender crazy asking to see a multitude of products before we make a choice. At GreenPharms in Mesa, we get to shop exactly how we like it: on our own, with the merch right in front of us to pick up and examine. The Mesa location (and its counterpart in Flagstaff) are Arizona’s first grab-and-go dispensaries; pick up a basket at the entrance like you just walked into Whole Foods, then browse the store for what you’d like to take home. Knowledgeable staff are around to answer questions if you have them, but it’s your show.

For those 2 a.m. cravings that only a top-shelf preroll or a pack of edibles can fix, Mint Dispensary in Tempe has you covered — 24/7. Whether you’re rolling in after a party or wrapping up a late-night study sesh, this spot is the go-to for round-the-clock cannabis relief. Located just off the I-10 freeway and minutes from downtown Tempe, Mint feels more like chill afters than an average dispensary. The budtenders stay upbeat no matter the hour, and even the security staff go above and beyond, walking customers to their cars if their hands are full of goodies. Inside, you’ll find all the top brands, constant deals and a wide, well-lit layout that makes shopping easy, even when you’re half-asleep or entirely faded. It’s reliable, well-stocked and always open. What more could you ask for after midnight?

Long lines form early at Curaleaf locations every April 20. That’s because the 420 freebies on the other side of the door are fire — and extremely limited. The early bird gets the infused gummy worms, so to speak. Previous 420 treats have included free gummies, prerolls and swag boxes filled with stuff like Curaleaf-branded hats, T-shirts, lighters and ashtrays. In addition to the stacks of freebies, there are smokin’ deals on pretty much everything, from BOGO edibles to deeply discounted bags of flower to deals on tinctures. Best of all, the lines tend to move pretty quickly once doors open, and the budtenders are always friendly and helpful.

Ponderosa Dispensary provides one of the most well-rounded cannabis menus in the Valley. With six locations across metro Phoenix, Ponderosa offers an impressive lineup of strains, product formats and potencies to suit every taste and tolerance level. Whether you’re a seasoned smoker, a medical patient, or just canna-curious, you’ll find something that hits just right. The top-shelf flower game is strong — think flavorful picks like Dr. Greenthumb’s Lit OG or Brown Bag’s Lemon Vuitton crossed with Cookies and Cream for those laid-back weekend vibes. They also carry solid options like Brown Bag’s P-Wing and Roll One’s Melonade, perfect for fall and winter smoke sessions. On top of that, their preroll selection goes deep, with fan-favorite brands like Jeeter, Dusties and Sluggers ready to spark on the spot. Edibles, carts, concentrates and topicals round out the lineup, making it easy to find your perfect match.

Walking into JARS feels more like stepping into a boutique hotel lobby than a typical dispensary. With 10 sleek, thoughtfully designed locations across metro Phoenix, JARS nails the aesthetic — marble-style floors, high ceilings, warm lighting and just the right balance of luxury and chill. At JARS’ airport location, a holographic display greets you with interactive flair, setting the tone for a futuristic yet welcoming shopping experience. But it’s not just about the look — it’s the energy. The staff strike the perfect balance between laid-back and knowledgeable, creating a no-pressure environment where questions are encouraged. There’s even a dedicated area where you can see and touch packaged products and branded merch before committing. Premium flower is displayed like high-end jewelry in sleek glass cases, and scent-safe stations let you explore terpene profiles without overwhelming the room. Hip-hop and R&B play at just the right volume, giving the entire space a relaxed, contemporary feel. Whether you’re picking up a quick eighth or browsing for something new, JARS delivers style, substance and some of the best dispensary vibes in the Valley.
