Meet the Legends

Meet the Legends: Unpacking the Genetics of Our Premier Strains Every great story has a beginning, and for many of our top-tier strains at Chronic Buddha, their story is written in their genetics. The cannabis industry is a melting pot of creativity, and behind every popular strain is a carefully crafted lineage. When you smoke something like LS 1990 JAMAICAN LAMBS BREATH or PLATINUM SOUR DIESEL, you’re not just consuming a plant; you’re experiencing a piece of cannabis history.
At Chronic Buddha, we are passionate about the heritage of our products, and our Legend Series is dedicated to showcasing these iconic strains and the boutique farmers who cultivate them. Understanding the genetics of a strain is like reading a family tree—it tells you a lot about where it came from, what to expect, and why it has earned its legendary status. Sativa, Indica, Hybrid: The Basics of Strain Lineage Before we dive into the legends, let’s refresh on the basics. Cannabis strains are generally classified into three types, based on their effects and physical characteristics:
● Sativa-Dominant Strains: Known for their uplifting, cerebral, and energizing effects. They often spark creativity and focus, making them perfect for daytime use. Our NYC HAZE and Sour Headband are classic examples of sativa-dominant strains that get your mind moving.
● Indica-Dominant Strains: These strains are famous for their relaxing, sedative, and full body effects. They are ideal for unwinding after a long day or for pain relief and sleep. LS ALASKAN WIDOW and PAKISTANI PURPLE KUSH are go-to choices for a deeply calming experience.
● Hybrid Strains: The most common type on the market today, hybrids are a cross between sativa and indica strains, offering a balanced mix of effects. A hybrid can lean sativa or indica, providing a customized experience. Our Fidel Runtz and TIGERS MILK offer the best of both worlds, blending cerebral uplift with body relaxation. Our Legend Series: A Nod to Cannabis History Our Legend Series isn’t just a fancy name. It’s a promise to our customers that we are sourcing truly exceptional, often classic, strains that have made their mark on the cannabis world. Here’s a look at some of the legends on our menu:
● LS Chem 91: A true old-school icon, Chem 91 is a foundational strain for many of today’s most potent and popular strains. It’s the building block of the “Diesel” family, and its distinct, pungent aroma is instantly recognizable to seasoned
smokers. When you enjoy our LS Chem 91, you’re tasting history.
● LS PINEAPPLE EXPRESS: Made famous by the movie of the same name,
Pineapple Express is a legendary hybrid. Its genetics blend a tropical, fruity
aroma with an energizing, clear-headed high. It’s the kind of strain that lives up to
the hype, providing a smooth, functional buzz that’s perfect for social settings.
● LS 1990 JAMAICAN LAMBS BREATH: For old-school strain lovers, this name is
a throwback to the classic landrace strains of yesteryear. Known for its bright,
invigorating effects and unique flavor profile, this is a must-try for those who want to experience a truly authentic, pre-modern-hybrid high. Why Genetics Matter to the NYC Smoker
In a market saturated with countless strains and products, knowing the genetics behind your cannabis is crucial for making an informed choice. It helps you:
● Predict the High: By understanding a strain’s lineage, you can better predict its effects. If you know you love the relaxing body high of a Kush, you can seek out strains like PAKISTANI PURPLE KUSH with confidence.
● Appreciate the Craft: Behind every legendary strain is a professional grower who has meticulously cultivated the plant. When you understand the effort that goes into producing a strain like LS ALASKAN WIDOW, you can truly appreciate its quality.
● Explore New Favorites: Knowing the genetics of a strain you love can help you discover new, similar strains you might enjoy. If you love Gorilla Diesel, you might want to try BRUCE BANNER GLUE, as they share similar, potent effects.
Conclusion
The genetics of a cannabis strain are the blueprint for its effects, aroma, and flavor. By choosing strains from a trusted source like Chronic Buddha, you’re not just getting a product; you’re engaging with the rich history and craftsmanship of the cannabis world. Our Legend Series is a tribute to these incredible plants and the dedicated farmers who bring them to life. Next time you’re browsing our menu, take a moment to consider the lineage, and let the history of the plant guide you to your next favorite high.
FAQ
Q1: What’s the difference between a “landrace” strain and a modern hybrid? A: A landrace strain, like our LS 1990 JAMAICAN LAMBS BREATH, is a native strain that has evolved in a specific geographical location, while modern hybrids are created by cross-breeding different strains for specific effects and characteristics.
Q2: Why are some strains called “cookies” or “haze”? A: These names often refer to the strain’s lineage and flavor profile. “Cookies” strains are typically descendants of the famous Girl Scout Cookies strain, while “Haze” refers to a family of potent, sativa-dominant strains with a long history.
Q3: How do you ensure the genetics of your strains are authentic? A: Our team works directly with trusted, boutique farmers who specialize in specific strains and cultivation techniques. We vet our partners to ensure they are using authentic genetics and best practices.
Q4: Can a sativa-dominant strain have relaxing effects? A: While they generally have uplifting effects, some sativa-dominant strains can be relaxing due to their unique terpene profiles. The presence of terpenes like Myrcene can provide a calming effect even in a sativa.
Q5: What’s the benefit of your “Legend Series” for customers? A: The “Legend Series” provides a curated selection of proven, high-quality strains with rich histories. It’s an easy way for customers to find premium, well-known products that they know they can trust for a consistent and excellent experience.

The Art of the Perfect High

The Art of the Perfect High: Choosing Your Cannabis Product Welcome to the world of cannabis, where options abound and the possibilities are endless. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or just starting your journey, the sheer variety of products can be overwhelming. Do you go for a classic bud, a discreet vape, or a delicious edible? Each consumption method offers a unique experience, and choosing the right one is an art form. At Chronic Buddha, we believe the perfect high is a personal journey, and we’re here tobe your guide. Our extensive menu—from fragrant Pre-Rolls and potent Dabs to tasty Edibles—is designed to cater to every preference. This guide will help you understand the pros and cons of each product type, so you can find the perfect fit for your lifestyle and mood.

  1. Flower: The Timeless Classic There’s a reason why flower remains the most popular form of cannabis. It’s the original. The process of grinding, rolling, and lighting up is a ritual many people love.
    ● Pros: Flower provides the most authentic, full-spectrum experience. You get to enjoy the complete profile of cannabinoids and terpenes, which gives you the full “entourage effect.” The high is immediate, making it easy to gauge your dosage. Plus, the variety is endless, with unique strains like Fidel Runtz and Gary Payton Cake offering distinct flavors and effects.
    ● Cons: Smoking can be harsh on the lungs, and the aroma can linger, making it less discreet. It also requires a bit more equipment, like a grinder and rolling papers or a pipe.
  2. Vapes: The Modern, Discreet Choice Vaping has soared in popularity, especially in urban environments like NYC, for its convenience and discretion. Vapes work by heating cannabis oil or concentrate to a temperature that vaporizes it without burning, resulting in a cleaner, smoother hit.
    ● Pros: Vapes are incredibly convenient and portable. They produce very little odor, making them perfect for a quick, discreet hit on the go. The high is fast-acting, similar to flower, but without the harsh smoke. Our selection of Loud 2G Diamond Vapes and Sherbinski Live Rosin Vapes offer premium, strain-specific experiences in a sleek package.
    ● Cons: The high from vapes can sometimes feel less “full” than flower, as some of the volatile terpenes can be lost in the heating process. Plus, the variety of cartridges can be overwhelming, so it’s important to stick to reputable brands to ensure quality and safety.
  3. Edibles: The Long-Lasting Adventure Edibles are for those who want a longer, more profound experience. When you eat cannabis, the THC is metabolized by your liver into a much more potent compound, 11-hydroxy-THC. The effects are more intense and last for hours.
    ● Pros: Edibles offer a powerful, long-lasting high. They are completely discreet—no smoke, no odor. For medical users, they can provide hours of relief from symptoms like pain or insomnia. Our Monster Bites Mini Brownies and Sugar High Gummies are perfect for a planned, relaxing evening.
    ● Cons: The biggest challenge with edibles is the delayed onset. It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours to feel the effects, which can lead to over-dosing if you’re not patient. It is crucial to start low and go slow. We recommend starting with a small dose and waiting at least two hours before considering more.
  4. Dabs & Concentrates: The Powerhouse Option For the experienced user, dabs and concentrates offer the most potent form of cannabis. Products like wax, shatter, and live resin contain extremely high concentrations of THC, often 70% or more.
    ● Pros: Dabs provide a quick, incredibly powerful high. The flavor from live resin is often described as more complex and true to the plant than other methods. Our PE Live Badder is a great example of a quality concentrate that delivers a powerful, flavorful hit.
    ● Cons: The high potency can be overwhelming for beginners and requires specialized equipment, like a dab rig or a concentrate vape pen. This method is not recommended for new users.
    Conclusion
    The “perfect high” is truly a matter of personal preference. Whether you prefer the ritual of rolling a joint with our PAKISTANI PURPLE KUSH, the convenience of a Boutiq Switch GLOW vape, or the long-lasting effects of a Punch Bar Extreme edible, Chronic Buddha has a product for you. By understanding the unique characteristics of each consumption method, you can make an informed choice that enhances your cannabis experience. The art of the high is about finding what works for you, and we’re here to help you discover it.
    FAQ
    Q1: How do I know which dosage of edibles to start with? A: If you are new to edibles, we highly recommend starting with a low dose, around 5-10mg of THC. Wait at least two hours to see how you feel before consuming more.
    Q2: Are vapes better for my health than smoking flower? A: Vaping heats the cannabis rather than burning it, which produces vapor instead of smoke. This is generally considered to be less harsh on the lungs than traditional smoking.
    Q3: Can I mix different product types, like smoking flower and eating an edible?
    A: Yes, many experienced users combine different products. However, if you are new to a specific product or strain, we recommend trying it on its own first to understand its effects.
    Q4: How long does the high from a dab last? A: The high from a dab is often very intense and fast-acting, but it may not last as long as the high from an edible. Most users report the peak effects lasting for 1-3 hours.
    Q5: How can I choose a strain if I’m new to cannabis? A: Start by considering the effects you want: do you want to feel relaxed, energized, or creative? Read our strain descriptions, which detail the effects and flavor profiles, or call our team for a personalized recommendation.

Beyond THC and CBD

Beyond THC and CBD: A Deep Dive into Terpenes and the Flavor of Your Cannabis
You’ve probably heard all about THC and CBD. They’re the rock stars of the cannabis world, getting all the credit for the plant’s effects. But what if I told you there’s a whole cast of behind-the-scenes characters that are just as important? They influence the aroma, the flavor, and even the type of high you get from your favorite strains. We’re talking about terpenes.
At Chronic Buddha, we know that a truly premier cannabis experience is about more than just potency. It’s a sensory journey. From the zesty notes of Super Lemon Haze to
the earthy undertones of NL 13, these unique flavors and aromas come from terpenes. Understanding them is the key to unlocking a more personalized and profound high.
What Exactly Are Terpenes?
Think of terpenes as the essential oils of the cannabis plant. They are aromatic compounds found in a variety of plants and fruits, like pine trees, lavender, and lemons. In cannabis, they are produced in the same glands that produce cannabinoids like THC and CBD.
While THC determines the high’s potency, and CBD offers its own therapeutic properties, terpenes are the reason why two different strains with similar THC levels can have completely different effects. This is known as the “entourage effect”—the idea that cannabinoids and terpenes work together synergistically to produce a more powerful or specific experience than they could on their own.
The Most Common Terpenes in Our Strains To truly appreciate your cannabis, it helps to know a few of the most common terpenes and what they do. Here’s a look at some you’ll find in Chronic Buddha’s top-shelf products:
● Myrcene: The most common terpene in cannabis. It’s known for its earthy, musky aroma, often with hints of fruit. Strains high in myrcene are often associated with sedative, relaxing, and “couch-lock” effects. You can find this terpene in our Blue Runtz and Godfather OG.
● Limonene: Found in citrus fruits, this terpene has a distinctly bright, citrusy scent. It’s often associated with mood elevation, stress relief, and a boost in energy. Our Super Lemon Haze is a perfect example of a limonene-rich strain.
● Pinene: As its name suggests, Pinene has a fresh, piney aroma. It’s the most common terpene in the natural world. In cannabis, it’s often linked to alertness, memory retention, and counteracting some of the short-term memory effects of THC. Look for it in strains like LS PINEAPPLE EXPRESS.
● Caryophyllene: This terpene has a spicy, peppery scent and is the only terpene known to act as a cannabinoid, binding directly to CB2 receptors in the body. It’s often associated with anti-inflammatory effects and can be found in our Gorilla Glue and Elephant Ears strains.
● Linalool: This terpene is famous for its floral, lavender-like aroma. It’s commonly found in lavender and is well-known for its calming, anti-anxiety, and sedative properties. It can be found in strains like Purple Punch or certain Runtz phenotypes. Pairing Terpenes with Your Mood Now that you know a little more about terpenes, you can start choosing strains based on the experience you want to have. Don’t just look at the Sativa/Indica label; ask yourself: what kind of high am I looking for?
● If you want to feel relaxed and chilled out, look for strains high in Myrcene or Linalool. Our White Bubblegum is a great choice for its calming, indica-leaning effects.
● If you need a creative boost and mental clarity, seek out strains rich in Limonene and Pinene. The sativa-heavy Jack Skunk is a perfect example of a strain that can get your mind going.
● If you’re seeking a body high to soothe tired muscles, focus on strains with high Caryophyllene. Our LS ALASKAN WIDOW and Bruce Banner Glue are known for their potent physical effects.
The Chronic Buddha Difference: Quality You Can Taste At Chronic Buddha, we are passionate about every aspect of the cannabis plant. We source our products from boutique farmers who understand the importance of terpene preservation through careful cultivation, harvesting, and curing. When you receive a bag of our FRENCH LAUNDRY or a premium SNOOP DOGG LA OG, you’re not just getting a product; you’re experiencing the full, rich profile of a well-cared-for plant. This attention to detail is what sets us apart and ensures you get the most flavorful and effective experience possible.
Conclusion
Terpenes are the hidden heroes of the cannabis world. They are responsible for the complex aromas and flavors that make each strain unique, and they play a crucial role in shaping the overall effects you feel. By paying attention to the terpene profiles of the products you choose, you can elevate your cannabis experience from a simple high to a truly customized sensory journey. At Chronic Buddha, we’re committed to providing you with the highest-quality, most flavorful products, so you can explore the wonderful world of terpenes right here in NYC.
FAQ
Q1: How can I tell which terpenes are in a strain? A: At Chronic Buddha, we provide detailed descriptions of each strain’s aroma and flavor profile on our website, which is a great indicator of its terpene content.
Q2: Do terpenes get you high? A: Terpenes themselves are not intoxicating like THC, but they can influence the psychoactive effects of cannabinoids through the “entourage effect,” shaping the nature of the high.
Q3: Can terpenes be used in other products besides flower? A: Yes! Terpenes are present in all full-spectrum cannabis products, including our live resin Sherbinski vapes, PE Live Badder dabs, and even our edibles like the Monster Bites Mini Brownies.
Q4: Is it possible to have an allergy to a terpene? A: While rare, some individuals can have sensitivities to certain terpenes, just as they would to other natural compounds. If you have known allergies to plants like pine or citrus, it’s wise to be cautious.
Q5: Why is the aroma of my flower so important? A: The aroma (or “nose”) of the flower is a direct indicator of its terpene content. A strong, pleasant aroma suggests a rich, well preserved terpene profile, which often translates to a better, more nuanced experience.

Finding the Right Strain for Your NYC Vibe New York is a city of distinct moods and a fast-paced rhythm. Your cannabis experience should match your desired vibe. Here are a few suggestions from our menu:
● For the Go-Getter: If you’re looking to tackle a day of meetings or explore a new gallery, a sharp, cerebral sativa is your best friend. Our Sour Headband or the classic Platinum Sour Diesel are perfect for sparking creativity and focus without a heavy body high.

Beginner’s Guide: How to Choose Cannabis Buds, Vapes, Edibles & Concentrates

The cannabis world is expanding rapidly, and for beginners, the choices can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re new to cannabis or returning after years, it’s important to understand the different types of products available today — buds, vapes, edibles, pre-rolls, and concentrates — and how they affect your body and mind.

This beginner-friendly guide will walk you through everything you need to know so you can confidently choose the right cannabis product for your lifestyle, tolerance, and desired effects.


1. Understanding Cannabis Buds (Flower)

What Are Cannabis Buds?

Cannabis buds, also known as flower, are the dried parts of the cannabis plant that you smoke using a pipe, bong, joint, or pre-roll.

Why Beginners Love Buds

  • Easy to control dosage
  • Natural flavor and aroma
  • Immediate effects
  • Wide variety of strains

What to Look For

When choosing buds, consider the following qualities:

1. Appearance

High-quality buds are:

  • Dense
  • Covered in trichomes
  • Vibrant in color
  • Free from seeds or stems

Strains like Gorilla Garlic Cookies, Wedding Gelato, and PB Breath are known for their beautiful structure and potency.

2. Smell (Aroma Profile)

Fresh, premium buds have a strong aroma. Fruity, earthy, spicy, or gassy — the smell reveals the strain’s terpene profile.

3. THC Percentage

For beginners, choose strains under 25% THC. Start slow and increase gradually.

Best Buds for Beginners

  • Blue Runtz
  • Melonade Runtz
  • Wedding Gelato

These strains offer balanced effects without overwhelming intensity.


2. Choosing Vapes (Cartridges & Disposable Pens)

Vapes are one of the most popular cannabis products in NYC due to their convenience, discretion, and clean effects.

Why Beginners Love Vapes

  • No strong smell
  • Easy to use
  • Smooth on the throat
  • Fast effects
  • Discreet and portable

Types of Vapes

  1. Cartridges (Carts): Require a battery.
  2. Disposable Vapes: Ready to use — no charging, no setup.

THC Strength

Vapes usually contain 85%–95% THC, making them very potent.

If you’re new:

  • Start with one or two small puffs
  • Wait 10 minutes before taking more

Recommended Starter Vapes

  • Boutiq Switch V5
  • Switch Glow V4
  • Loud 2g Vapes

These vapes offer smooth hits, balanced flavor, and reliable potency.


3. Understanding Edibles (Gummies, Chocolates & More)

Edibles are cannabis-infused food items that offer longer-lasting effects compared to smoking or vaping.

Why Beginners Choose Edibles

  • No smoke
  • Easy and enjoyable
  • Delicious flavors
  • Strong, long-lasting effects

How Edibles Work

Edibles are absorbed through the digestive system, which means:

  • Effects take 45–90 minutes to kick in
  • High lasts 6–8 hours
  • Stronger body high than smoking

Beginners Should Start With Low Doses

Start with 5–10mg THC and wait at least 2 hours before taking more.

Best Beginner-Friendly Edibles

  • Monster Gummies
  • Sugar High Gummies
  • Camino Gummies

These products offer predictable dosing and great flavors.


4. Pre-Rolls (Ready-to-Smoke Joints)

Pre-rolls are perfect for beginners who want to enjoy cannabis without grinding, rolling, or preparing anything.

Why Beginners Prefer Pre-Rolls

  • Ready to smoke instantly
  • Consistent burn
  • Affordable
  • Great for sharing

Types of Pre-Rolls

  1. Standard Pre-Rolls – perfect for beginners
  2. Infused Pre-Rolls (Stronger) – contain added live resin, kief, or diamonds

Beginner Recommendation

Start with non-infused pre-rolls before trying stronger infused options.

Great choices:

  • Chronic Buddha Signature Pre-rolls
  • Light hybrid or sativa blends

Avoid diamond-infused pre-rolls until you understand your tolerance.


5. Concentrates (For Experienced Users Only)

Concentrates such as live resin, diamonds, badder, hash, and THC oils offer extremely high potency — sometimes up to 95% THC.

Why Concentrates Are Not for Total Beginners

  • Very strong
  • Fast-hitting
  • Require dab rigs or special devices
  • Difficult to dose

Common Types of Concentrates

  • Live Resin – strong flavor and terpene profile
  • Badder – smooth texture and heavy effects
  • Diamonds – extremely potent crystalline THC
  • THC Oil Syringe – versatile for dabs, joints, or edibles

Safe Approach for Beginners

If you want to try concentrates, start with:

  • Small rice-size amount
  • A low-temp dab
  • A mild hybrid concentrate

Products like PE Live Badder or THC Oil Syringe are strong but manageable when used correctly.


6. How to Choose the Right Cannabis Product for You

Every individual reacts differently to cannabis. The right product depends on your tolerance, lifestyle, goals, and experience.

If You Want Fast Effects

Choose:

  • Buds
  • Vapes
  • Pre-rolls

If You Prefer Long-Lasting Results

Choose:

  • Edibles
  • THC syringes in food

If You Want Convenience

Choose:

  • Disposable vapes
  • Pre-rolls

If You Want Strongest Potency

Choose:

  • Concentrates
  • Diamond-infused pre-rolls

If You Want Flavorful Experience

Choose:

  • Runtz strains
  • Gelato strains
  • Fruity edibles

If You Want Anxiety Relief

Choose:

  • Hybrid or indica strains
  • Low-dose edibles

7. Tips for Absolute Beginners

  1. Start low and go slow
  2. Wait before taking more
  3. Don’t mix edibles with alcohol
  4. Stay hydrated
  5. Choose safe, lab-tested products
  6. Avoid high-THC concentrates at first
  7. Try different strains to find what works best

Conclusion

Choosing the right cannabis product doesn’t have to be confusing. Whether you prefer the classic experience of smoking buds, the clean simplicity of vapes, the delicious taste of edibles, or the convenience of pre-rolls, there is something for every beginner in NYC’s growing cannabis market.

ChronicBuddha.com offers safe, premium, lab-tested cannabis products delivered right to your door. From smooth vapes to flavorful edibles and potent top-shelf buds, we make the process easy for beginners while ensuring quality and consistency.
