Father’s Day is this Sunday (June 19), and hopefully, folks have already gotten the dads in their lives a proper gift. But in case Dad is into cannabis, we’ve whipped together a new gift guide that could guide you in another direction.
As I always like to share with readers, cannabis has transformed my life for the better by providing me with a variety of ways to consume products. Further, the innovation that some of the brands we’re featuring is astounding. I sometimes have trouble falling asleep, and there are brands out there addressing those who suffer from sleeplessness. Also, as someone who struggles with ADHD, there are even products that bring life into focus.
I don’t want to come off too square here, as I believe that we should also enjoy cannabis for relaxing and leisure, and do so responsibly. As much as I am a cannabis enthusiast, I do not encourage overindulgence. However, I enjoy discovering products that work best in one’s life, and I hope this gift guide will help you forge your own path. You’ll see some familiar brands from past coverage, and we thank them for allowing us to highlight their wares. You’ll also see some new entries, and I thank them for helping shape this edition.
The next roundup I’ll do will be Halloween, then onto the Thanksgiving holiday, then closing the year out with a holiday-themed guide.
Please check out our latest cannabis gift guide, and Happy Father’s Day to all the dope dads out there.
[This guide will be updated and tweaked until COB]

Bubby’s Baked
Bubby’s Baked is all about infused, dessert-like bites featuring familiar flavors like chocolate chip, brownie, and the classic snickerdoodle. They also have birthday cake bites, rounding out their edible options.

Carolindica
In short order, everything I’ve tried from Carolindica so far has been pure fire. Candy bars, hot cocoa, infused pre-rolls, and gummies for that good “nighttime” action are all on deck. I truly can’t get enough of what Carolindca has going on. Check out their Ancient Legends gummies lineup.

Cornbread Hemp
Based in Kentucky, Cornbread Hemp’s infused seltzers are fantastic, and they also have gummies, which I’ve sampled recently. They also have CBD and mushroom-infused products in their lineup.

DaVinci IQ Core
We’re big fans of DaVinci’s IQ3 dry herb vaporizer, and the brand has simplified the experience without skimping on its usual premium build approach. If you’re new to dry herb vaporizers, you can’t go wrong with DaVinci.
Learn more here.
DaySavers
We’re big fans of DaySavers’ pre-roll cones and blunts, but we’re focusing today on the brand’s upcoming Perfect Pack 2 rolling machine. If you’re like us and really stink at rolling up, the Perfect Pack upgrade takes all the fuss out of the act. We’re told this machine debuts on 6/22.
Learn more here.
Ellora
With more people ditching booze, THC spirits are on the rise. Ellora, part of New Orleans-based Crescent Canna’s lineup, plays an important part in creating cocktails that go as far as one’s imagination.

Extract Labs does a little bit of everything with hemp-derived THC, THCV, and more. However, CBD seems to be the brand’s bread and butter.

Learn more here.
High Wired
If you’re into the infused flower and pre-roll thing, High Wired looks to be the brand to seek out. Available in three states, High Wired’s Sugar Caps, made with THCA flower, have our interest.

Hometown Hero
Hometown Hero’s hemp-derived cannabis options remain among the best we’ve sampled over the years. The Texas-based company is also on the frontlines in defending the hemp industry and fighting against the powerful lobbies in Washington that seemingly want to take brands like this down and wreck businesses providing pathways for people to get quality products.

InHouse Cannabis
InHouse Cannabis is one of our newest brands featured, and the brand offers vapes, flower, and gummies, including their Smokestack AIO vape. InHouse is currently available in four states.

Motley Terpz is another new entry in one of our roundups, and we’re impressed with what we’ve learned so far. The brand’s Motley Terpz 0.5g O2 vape is crafted from cannabis grown on the brand’s farm in Santa Barbara. A true farm-to-oil operation, if you will. Motley Terpz’s website is coming soon, but tap in with them on social media.

Nature’s Heritage
We’re bringing Nature’s Heritage Mycrodose back again because it seems like mushrooms and cannabis are going to keep having moments in the space. With four varieties covering energy to getting a good night’s rest, Myrcodose has the potential to change the landscape. And beyond mushrooms, the brand has plenty of traditional cannabis options.
Learn more here.
Nesa’s Hemp
From the mind of founder Inesa Ponomariovaite, Nesa’s Hemp has a clear focus on wellness and how CBD factors in. We’re new to the brand and will gladly report back with our findings. We need to start featuring more CBD in these roundups (hint, hint).

Raw Garden
Raw Garden is a brand I first encountered in my travels out west. To date, their live resin cartridges have been the most potent I’ve ever used. While not widely available, if you’re in the medical or recreational market, I’m confident in suggesting them to anyone who might be interested.

Select
Early in my journey in this world, Select was one of the first brands that had vapes that lived up to all their lofty claims. Now, the brand is introducing its new Briq 2, an update to their AIO vapes that have a handy dosing meter and anti-clogging heating mechanisms in place.

Spherex is a brand new to us, but what we do like is the company’s science-backed approach to cannabis. While there are plenty of companies out here going the hemp-derived route, Spherex crafts its products the old-fashioned way.

STIIIZY
STIIIZY sells its wares in a handful of states, and the homies I have where their markets exist are some lucky folks. I’ve been rocking with STIIIZY for years, and now, they have their potent 40’s series, featuring two strains at 40% THC.

TVape
TVape bills itself as the top vaporizer superstore in the world, and the company is proud to roll out the Utillian 8 Turbo. Having used some of the products they sell before, the Utillian 8 Turbo is for the concentrate fans who are ready for the big leagues.

For years, STORZ & BICKEL has led the technological advances of dry herb vaporizers. I’ve used the Volcano device many moons ago, and they’ve since created a small but potent array of handheld vaporizers. The company’s latest device is the VEAZY, which comes in four standout colors.

To get it out of the way, Wynk was my first THC seltzer that I’ve tried. Wynk remains at the top of the list of brands I reach for when I want a thirst-quenching yet pleasant mood-boosting buzz.

Founded in 2019, Zen Cannabis is quickly becoming one of the better brands out. Between their variety of gummies, chocolates, which include a vegan version, drinks, and tinctures, Zen Cannabis and its nano technology is one brand folks should check out. Available currently in eight states.
