New York’s Bud Bloom: High-Grade Cannabis Finally Hits Dispensary Shelves

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized / By

New York’s cannabis scene has undergone a dramatic transformation. Remember those early days of legalization in 2023? The flower was…well, let’s just say it lacked the “oomph” many connoisseurs craved. Limited by outdoor growing restrictions and scarce greenhouse space, the state’s initial offerings didn’t quite deliver the “Zaza,” “chronic,” or “loud” that seasoned smokers sought. But times have changed, and the “pain” is finally turning into pleasure.

A new era has dawned. Indoor cultivation is now the norm, and existing brands are rapidly upgrading their menus to reflect the availability of superior bud. Plus, a wave of newly licensed cultivators from the legacy and out-of-state markets are showcasing their top-tier products on dispensary shelves, thanks to the state’s expanded micro-business and cultivation licenses. For 2025 and beyond, here’s a curated list of craft and commercial brands delivering exceptional flower to New York dispensaries:

The Reigning Champ: Runtz

(Leafly)

By unanimous decision, Runtz has seized the crown as New York’s top flower. This 2019 Leafly Strain of the Year has evolved into a national powerhouse, fueled by Lemon Cherry Gelato-adjacent genetics and masterful marketing by co-founders Ray Bama and Yung LB. The official Runtz packs, including Obama Runtz and Trump Runtz, have been flying off dispensary shelves. If you spot them, grab them!
