Autumn NYC cannabis strains hit different when the leaves start to turn and that crisp breeze settles in. Whether you’re layering up for a cozy night in or meeting friends for an apple cider-and-smoke session, mixing and matching cannabis strains—aka building a “strain cocktail”—is a flavorful way to personalize your fall high. Stoops NYC has just the flower for every kind of autumn mood.
What’s a Strain Cocktail?
A strain cocktail is all about blending two or more cannabis strains to dial in a custom effect. Some folks mix flowers in a bowl or roll a dual-strain joint, others go pre-roll to flower depending on how the vibe shifts.
