We’ve rounded up the best weed strains for you to explore in the new year, whether you’re a medical marijuana user seeking a mellow high or an energetic blast.
Pink Rozay
Pink Rozay is an indica-dominant hybrid strain that has been reported to have relaxed, sleepy effects and a flavor profile similar to the fruitiness you’d expect from rosé wine. Pink Rozay was developed by Cookies founder Berner and rapper Rick Ross and has been well-received by patients throughout 2020 and 2021, thanks to its unique flavor profile and high THC content.

Apples and Bananas
Apples and Bananas is a strain developed in a collaboration with the aforementioned Cookies. The developers worked on several different cannabis varieties and crossed them together to create a new strain with a complex terpene profile that actually tastes like apples and bananas. This sweet strain is sure to be one of the most popular choices in any dispensary in 2022.

Bonkers
Next Generation Seed’s Bonkers is a hardy variety that is great for growing indoors or outdoors. Its quick flowering time is an added bonus for those seeking a plant that provides a powerful body stone in a relatively short amount of time. The fast flowering time makes Bonkers a good choice for beginner cannabis growers seeking to hone their skills.
Just to note that there is another strain called “Bonkers” by Exotic Genetix, which crosses Cookies & Cream with Lemon Tree. It is also a worthwhile strain worth trying.

Apple Fritter
There’s been a spate of apple- and dessert-tasting strains over the last few years, and Apple Fritter is another example of this trend. Cherry Pie is a popular strain, but some want something that tastes like Apple Pie. Apple Fritter by Lumpy Flowers has a sweet and earthy profile with a taste of pastry (and even a hint of sweet and savory cheese). Apple Fritter has been reported as having a balanced, relaxed-uplifting effect.
