NYC’s cannabis scene is booming, and Brooklyn is right in the center of it. From Flatbush to Bed-Stuy, flower has always been the borough’s favorite, and now the legal market is bringing even more options to the table. Local smokers know what they like, and a few standout strains are rising to the top. Here are the top cannabis strains in Brooklyn right now — and where you can find them in Flatbush.
Why Strain Choice Matters
Back in the day, there wasn’t much choice when it came to cannabis. It was simple. You either smoked what was in the plastic baggie, or you could go kick rocks.
Here’s the thing though – weed doesn’t have to be just weed anymore.
Once you step into a licensed dispensary, you’re stepping into a whole new level of choice. The strain names aren’t just made up for the bag; they actually mean something. The flavor, the vibe, and the experience are all dialed in.
That’s the beauty of Brooklyn’s legal market.
You don’t have to guess what’s in your grinder, you can pick the exact flower that matches your mood. Want something funky and heavy for a late-night smoke session? There’s a strain for that. Need something lighter and sweeter so you’re not zoink’d on your lunch break? Yup, there’s a strain for that too.
Knowing exactly what you’ve got makes the whole sesh hit better. It turns smoking from “just sparking up” into really connecting with the plant, and finding out what works best for you.
So here’s are the top strains to hunt down if you’re a smoker in Brooklyn looking for something new.
🌿 Stank Breath (Real Life Botanicals)
If you’re looking for straight-up funk, Stank Breath doesn’t disappoint. Its unique terpene profile is the reason for its funky smell, and interesting effects too.
Heavy on the terpenes limonene and humulene, Stank Breath supplies a chill and zen head high. Add in a dose of caryophyllene, and you get that classic stoner-style body buzz that makes everything feel just a little slower and softer. Dank, stank, and no frills – this is Brooklyn flower at its finest.
Perfect for: After work, lazy days off, or cozy fall evenings when you want to melt into the couch.
🍬 Blue Zushi (Golden Garden)
Blue Zushi is the sweeter side of Brooklyn’s smoke scene.
Fruity on the inhale with just enough funky depth to keep things interesting, it balances flavor with a satisfying body high that makes every session feel smooth. This one’s built for passing around – social, fun, and flavorful without being overwhelming.
A hard hitter with high THC percentage, Blue Zushi is the perfect strain for keeping the party going.
Perfect for: Kickbacks, chill hangs with friends, or sparking up before your favorite album.
🍍 Pineapple Runtz (Nanticoke)
Pineapple Runtz is the kind of strain that instantly grabs attention – both for its tropical, candy-sweet aroma and its dense, colorful buds.
The child of the well-loved and widely awarded Runtz strain, Pineapple Runtz is a uplifting upgrade that makes it perfect for social outings and creative projects, any time, anywhere. Its care-free head high and stimulating body high makes it the perfect hybrid for those looking for some euphoric energy.
It’s a modern crowd-pleaser that budtenders and smokers alike keep coming back to – and its perfect for Runtz lovers looking for something new.
Perfect for: Daytime sessions, social hangs, or anytime you want a sweet, flavorful hit that lifts your mood without overdoing it.
🌲 Northern Lights (Back Home Cannabis)
When it comes to true icons, Northern Lights is definitely one. That’s because this strain has been changing cannabis culture for decades.
Bred from cannabis strains native to Thailand and Afghanistan, Northern Lights is a strain with rare double-landrace genetics – a combo that’s incredibly hard to find nowadays. This unique lineage gives Northern Lights that unmistakable piney, woody aroma that makes it hit just as hard as it smells.
There’s a reason Northern Lights has been on top for long. The strain has been winning awards for the past 40 years. With multiple High Times Cannabis Cup wins in the 80s and 90s, this one’s not just flower – it’s history. The effect? A cushy and comfortable body high paired with a clear, empty-headed head high.
Perfect for: Oldheads, curious newcomers, or anyone who wants to smoke a true legend.
🔥 Super Boof (High Priority & Golden Garden)
Super Boof is everywhere – and it isn’t just hype. It’s the strain budtenders and smokers can’t stop talking about. Crowned Leafly’s Strain of the Year in 2024, Super Boof is a strain with a lot of award wins under its belt, from 2023 and 2022 too.
That’s because Super Boof is a rare combo: uplifting and hard-hitting. Expect an instant, energetic come-up that’s carefree but never jittery, grounding you without putting you to sleep. For a lot of folks, it’s the sativa that makes them rethink sativas entirely.
Perfect for: Daytime sessions, creative bursts, or anyone who wants a heavy hitter with an uplifting edge.
