2015 marked another strong year in cannabis culture and politics, pushing forward both legalization efforts as well as new cultivation methods.

We’ve already rolled up the year’s top pot stories into one for your convenience, so now we take the time to recognize the finest flowers 2015 had to offer:

Gelato

A number of Gelato strains delighted customers in dispensaries throughout the US this year, but Cookies SF delivered the best phenos with Gelatos #45 and #33 — both of which feature genetics from both Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Cookies to produce a flavorful berry aroma and finish that bolsters a maximum-potency high.

Zkittlez

This full-flavor strain is named due to its fruitful genetics that include Grape Ape and Grapefruit. Its citrus aroma and sweet, candy-like flavor set the table for soothing pain relief and relaxation. This complete package of a strain also took 1st place in indica flowers at this year’s Northern California Cannabis Cup.

Overlord OG

Heavy indica OG strains did not go out of style in 2015, as evident in Loompa Farms’ Overlord OG. Its gorgeous flower structure comes coated with trichromes and is packed with 27 percent THC, making for an ideal couch-locking OG.

Gorilla Glue #4

This highly potent hybrid strain is brimming with terpenes, and rightfully so. Its tart flavor and pungent aroma descend from Chem Dawg and Sour Diesel genetics, thus producing an almost glue-like smell, hence the name. This offering from High Desert cultivators Life is Good was impressive enough to take the 1st place Hybrid award at both High Times’ World and and Southern California Cannabis Cups.

Ghost Train Haze

The crown jewel of geneticists Rare Dankness, this high-energy sativa also sports gorgeous bag appeal with luscious green buds and myriad trichromes. Impressive enough to win back to back 1st place Cannabis Cup trophies in 2014 and 2015.

Jet Fuel OG

Ultra-sticky and massively aromatic, Jet Fuel OG gets rapper B-Real’s ultimate approval of five green thumbs. Get yourself a bag promptly.

Khalifa Kush

If B-Real isn’t good enough of a rapper’s approval for you, then maybe Wiz Khalifa is more your style. Cookies SF rival Cookie Co. 415 named this perfect cut of OG Kush after the Pittsburgh emcee known mainly for his extravagant weed smoking habit. If this heavily sedative indica is potent enough to bear Khalifa’s name, you know it’s some essential flower to try out.

Kush Co. OG

Named after street clothing company the Kush Company, this classic OG Kush strain is a staple throughout several of Southern California’s finest dispensaries and is the perfect accompaniment for relaxing Los Angeles nights.

Sunset Sherbet

Yet another remarkable creation from Cookies SF, Sunset Sherbet takes classic Girl Scout Cookie genetics and adds a bit sweeter flavor profile to an already potent cerebral high.

Super Lemon Haze

East Bay cannabis dispensary CRAFT comes correct with yet another high-terpene strain to add to their collection. This classic strain comes fully realized in 2015 by sporting bigger, denser buds, and amplifying the sweet citrus finish.
