Best Infused Joint RVRS Roobie Snacks solventlessnearme.com Infused pre-rolls are all the rage right now, with growers, extractors and entirely new brands launching lines of joints infused with resin, rosin, kief, bubble hash and CO2 oil, among other extracts. As with all pre-rolls, you’ll fi nd a wide variance in price and quality, from harsh and question- able $10 options to a $60 hash hole. Our sweet spot is a pack of rosin-infused Roobie Snacks from RVRS, a three-pack of smooth- on-the-throat half-gram joints that come in indica, hybrid and sativa options. While each can last a person through multiple sessions, these little dogwalkers also pack enough punch to blitz two or three people in around ten minutes. Not bad for some- thing that usually retails for less than $30. Best Cannabis Tour Colorado Cannabis Tours High Lights coloradocannabistours.com From weekly drone shows to the Parade of Lights and the ever-changing nightly displays at the City and County Building, Denver likes to shine brightly during the holiday season. Christmas lights got their start here, after all, and many Mile High residents leave their lights up until the Stock Show leaves town. Colorado Cannabis Tours, the longest-stand- ing cannabis-friendly tour service in Denver, has mapped out a holiday lights itinerary in the winter that takes riders past the city’s best public holiday displays, allowing you to get lit while taking in the lights. Riders meet at the CCT headquarters in south Denver to hop aboard, then stop by a dispensary to stock up on goodies before the tour starts (guests can bring their own cannabis, too). As Christmas songs play over the speakers and the red, green and neon colors seep through the windows, you might agree that this really is the most wonderful time of the year. Best Budget Rosin Line Soiku Bano soikubano.com As one of the most talented extraction operations in Colorado, Soiku Bano has never been afraid to charge appropriately for high-quality rosin. The north Denver lab’s ability to pull distinct fumes and fl avor profi les has always been worth a few extra dollars, but the small crew released a more affordable line of rosin last year that’s still better than most of the top-shelf hash you’ll fi nd at dispensaries. Soiku Bano’s Purple Label is mixed-micron, so it’s not quite as deluxe as the brand’s usual 90-u or 120-u rosin, but the Donny Diesel and Swamp- water Cakes will still make your nose swell and your mouth water. Each Purple Label gram is a consciously crafted mix of rosin batches, according to Soiku staff, who like using Purple Label grams for big dabs and hash hole joints. Our less refi ned palates found the Purple Label to be perfectly fi ne in a daily dab rig or Puffco electric vape, however. Like all of Soiku’s grams, the Purple Label came in a beautiful, milky dumpling ball that will stink up your whole house within minutes. Best Up-and-Coming Grower SPCY Canna instagram.com/spcy_canna You won’t see SPCY Canna pre-packed jars or promotional posters inside of dispen- saries, but cannabis users (and their bank accounts) are lucky to come across these unlabeled buds. Owner Anthony DeSarro and his cultivation staff in northern Colo- rado have proved they can pay homage to the old school and produce new and ex- citing strains, usually at lower prices than growers of the same quality. SPCY’s racy cut of Sour Durban smells like sour, skunky sage, just like classic Durban Poison, while the trichome coverage on Chimera Junky or Sunset Sherb x Mega Sour looks like the snow just fell. Bag appeal, aroma, taste, ef- fect — SPCY checks all the boxes, without the unnecessary frills. Best Cannabis Lounge Tetra Lounge 3039 Walnut Street 720-800-3011 tetralounge.com Tetra Lounge has been a beacon for Den- ver’s cannabis scene since 2018, when it fi rst opened as a private club. After years of back-and-forthing with the city, owner Dewayne Benjamin fi nally received a per- mit to open for public cannabis use in 2024, giving the RiNo venue a new lease on life. Anyone 21 and older can now enter Tetra for a daily fee, with weekly and monthly passes also available. Guests must bring their own cannabis but can rent smoking and dabbing devices and purchase rolling papers; you’ll often see a food truck and cannabis pop- up vendors at Tetra, too. Catch a game or pay-per-view fi ght, attend karaoke or movie nights, or follow Tetra’s social media for no- tices of special parties. You might run into Method Man, a Denver Nuggets player or, most likely, a group of friendly stoners with a three-gram joint — but no matter who’s in the crowd, everyone is happy to be there. Best Strain Crusty Weasel by Allgreens 2291 South Kalamath Street 303-955-6917 allgreens.co Leave it to Allgreens to weasel its way onto the Best Strain podium with rosin, but what can we say? When schnoz and smell meet, Crusty Weasel evokes everything from a bowl of rotten fruit to a gasoline-soaked trash can, and we mean that in the abso- lute best way. The rosin badder, a mix of I-95 and Chem-D, is a creamy bowl of ganja goop, and a champion of gas, cheesy funk and sour OG. Although it truly is a crusty old devil and hard to predict, leaving some of us glued to the couch and others pepped up and ready to move, anyone chasing the next great batch of dumpster funk must add this Weasel to their wall. ■ Cannabis & More continued from page 150
