You're a high-functioning stoner with games to play, songs to write, birds to watch, Best Of articles to shitpost on ... whatever it is you do while toking up, you need to get it done. You need a hybrid. Not just any hybrid, you need Leafly's 2023 Strain of the Year: Permanent Marker by Connected. With THC testing near 26.9% and total cannabinoids at 31.5%, these buds have all the gas needed to take you where you want to go. Pop the cap on this marker, and you'll be drawing its signature hard candy soaked in diesel aroma all over your face, lungs and the entire room. Taking cues from its parent strains, Jealousy and Biscotti, expect a hint of tongue numbing followed by a gentle body buzz. Just remember: Small doses can keep you on task, but heavy hits will turn your masterpiece into a scribbled mess, so outline your designs before inking with this top-shelf choice.

Fuck that couch, let's do stuff! Energetic, outside body type stuff, and for that we'll need a special sativa. Luckily for us, Jenny Kush from Aeriz isn't just any sativa, it's the Mary Poppins of weed strains — practically perfect in every way. With a sweet earthy aroma and lemon/lime terpene profile, you'll be chasing dreams, creating memes and sliding up banisters in no time. Testing at over 33.7% THC and a mind-boggling 40.6% total cannabinoids, the daughter of Amnesia Haze & Rare Dankness #2 is a decorated champion with multiple awards under its Edwardian petticoat, including accolades from Cannabis Cup, 710 Awards and Errl Cup. Whether you chose to parachute with an umbrella or chat up woodland creatures, Jenny Kush is the spoonful of sugar to help any adventure go down, up ... or sideways.

We've spotted you at the supermarket and slyly scanning thrift store bins, sneaking stealthy puffs of sunshine off that pen up your sleeve. Cartridges today are synonymous with convenience, and this year's top pick is the 1000mg Grape Durbz AIO Live Resin Vape from Camino Concentrates. The "Grape" notes are tasty Popsicle-flavored terpenes, while "Durbz" delivers a smooth sativa kick that doesn't get cracky, courtesy of Durban Poison by Sonoran Roots. We could "wax" poetic over Ultra Ceramic Coil Technologies, 100% live resin extracts using no distillates, USB-C wizardry and breath-activated inhalation systems, but let's keep it real. Cartridges are meant to make life easier, and this all-in-one is the most user-friendly delivery system of yummy concentrates we have vaped yet.

Some days, it's not just about lightening the load, it's about launching it into orbit. When you crave that high-octane experience, ditch the bongs and joints, grab yourself a rig and blow your banger up with the gold standard: Mohave Gold Shatter High Octane X Gelato from Mohave Cannabis Co. This ain't your dad's dab session. Crafted with Mohave's cutting-edge extraction process, this top-tier shatter boasts an astronomical 91.25% THC and a staggering 99.7% cannabinoids. It's the Rolls-Royce of concentrates, with a hard candy consistency that glides across your lungs as effortlessly as your uncle's vintage 1970s land yacht on the I-17 northbound. It's the perfect excuse for a snooze in the cinema or any other laid-back escapade. Buckle up for a long-lasting, head-on-cruise-control high that also brings relief to whatever aches and pains you're carrying in the trunk.

Concentrates span a multitude of versions, all shaped by the plethora of processes used between cultivation and combustion. Blast it, freeze it, squish it with some heat ... what option should you choose? Our standout selection for this year is Aeriz's Lucid Blue Live Resin Sugar. A fantastic form of the stickiest of ickies, testing 76.6% THC and 85.5% total cannabinoids, this live resin sugar delivers a fruity-pepper-flavored terpene profile, and its consistency, sitting between shaved ice and kinetic sand, makes dab tool usage an absolute breeze compared with the other soupy sauces and drippy oil varieties. Heavy hits, tasty terps and ease of use make this the go-to choice for waxy wanderings along the waysides of Dabtown.

Who doesn't drool for solventless dabs? Our favorite this year is Summus's Chocolate and Cream Live Hash Rosin. Crafted with weed, water, ice, heat, pressure and perhaps a touch of love, this blend is pure essence alchemy. Formerly sold as Oreoz, this Tier 1 concentrate (their top shelf) doesn't fall far from its hybrid Cookies and Cream crossed with Secret Weapon genetics tree. Summus offers additional tiers for our budget-conscious buddies, but this live rosin earns its just desserts by not only smelling like chocolate but tasting and exhaling like chocolate, too. Perfect for relaxing happily while masticating magnificent munchies, this LHR packs a serious appetite boost. Pair it with a slice of Granny's chocolate cake? Absolutely. As far as best rosins go, this one takes the cake ... and eats it, too.
