Ever wonder where to get the best legal weed in Northern NY? So did we. So, in the name of journalism (and a little fun), we embarked on the ultimate cannabis taste test—sampling strains from legal dispensaries across the region. The results? Some were absolute fire, some were questionable at best, and one was so bad we almost called the authorities.
How We Judged the Best Weed in Northern NY
We didn’t just rely on THC percentages—because let’s be real, potency isn’t everything. Instead, we ranked based on:
🔥 Flavor & Smoothness – Does it taste like top-shelf terps or burnt lawn clippings?
💨 Smoke Quality & Burn – Even burn, smooth inhale, or coughing fit disaster?
😵 Effects & Potency – Couch lock? Creative buzz? Or just a headache?
💰 Value for Money – Because nobody wants to pay $60 for mid.
