Flourish Fine Foods flourishff.com Chef Payton Curry planted the seeds of Flourish in Flagstaff in 2016, and the com- pany has blossomed from a small kitchen operation into a line of fine medical edibles available at dispensaries all over Arizona. Flourish’s cooking process unlocks the aro- matic terpenes and essential oils in canna- bis to create jammy fruit chews, date-studded brownies, sweet birthday cake bars, savory chili lime and ranch corn nuts, and a “Retro Mix” of pretzels and cheesy little crackers bites that make snack time and nap time a great mix. Sweet, sa- vory, spicy, cheesy, potent, and consistently dosed? That’s how Flourish’s garden has grown. EEEEE Good Things Coming goodthingscoming.us Phoenix Chef Aaron Chamberlin is best known for his current and past restaurant concepts like St. Francis, Taco Chelo, and Phoenix Public Market Café, but his brand of marijuana-infused edibles, Good Things Coming, has gained popularity Valleywide for a few reasons. First, the potency — every batch of Good Things Coming fruit jellies is handcrafted and in- fused with full-spectrum cannabis oil from the company’s 50-acre greenhouse grow and extraction lab in Snowflake. Then, the flavor — among the vegan fruit jellies, the pomegranate is especially juicy and the citrus yuzu has a nice, tangy taste. Ingredients are sourced from local farms and all recipes call for organic sugar, so consumers can feel good about what they’re eating and the effects that are coming. EEEEE Timeless timelessvapes.com “Homeboy, throw in the towel / Your girl got dicked by Ricky Powell” is a line from the Beastie Boys’ track “Car Thief” from the Paul’s Boutique album that immortal- izes Powell, a New York street photogra- pher who was a longtime pal of the band. He passed away earlier this year, but an- other way his work lives on is as a custom vape cover created by Timeless Vapes, part of the Timeless Refinery cannabis enter- prise. Local artist Josh Rhodes is on the Timeless team, and he’s instrumental in adorning these slick pot vapes with cool art, making these weed heaters both prac- tical and collectible. Rhodes himself has graced one with his own work, as well as the work of other local artists like Lalo Cota. If you’re gonna smoke, might as well do it in style. EEEEE Herb ’N Legend Smoke Shop 5950 West McDowell Road, #104 602-710-1987 hnl.glass Since 2009, Herb ’N Legend has been the go-to place for artisanal glass pipes, jew- elry, and smoking accessories made from 100 percent American glass. In addition to carrying pieces from some of the most pop- ular national manufacturers, Herb ’N Leg- end is always stocked with beautiful glass options crafted next door at its studio, Melt Lounge. Whether you’re looking for a con- versation piece pipe shaped like a spiky alien or a monkey with a banana, or you just want to browse a big selection of in- cense and cool ashtrays, Herb ’N Legend has displays for days. It’s like a super em- porium for stoners. EEEEE HotRock SupaJoint supajoint.com You can’t take HotRock SupaJoint too seri- ously, but the animated music video artist (he’s literally a cartoon character) defi- nitely takes his weed seriously. Everything he does is about marijuana, whether it’s his pot-centric podcast, Supashow, one of his short music videos, or his social media posts. Most of his sentences end with the words “Weed, yo,” and the guy has total 1970s stoner hippie hair — a big balloon of long, kinky-curly locks to match his han- dlebar porn mustache. Even if his whole schtick is a gimmick, it’s a good one. Just check out his “Chakra Kahn” 20-minute animated “meditation” video on YouTube for proof. 230 BEST OF PHOENIX 2021 | WWW.BESTOFPHOENIX2021.C0M | SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 B c ann abi s HE BD S A E STH OP E S T M A USI RIJ M U IA AN N A-L C O V ING B E S T EDIBL E S BA E P V STE C C O U V STERS O M B E S T V EG A N EDIBL E S
