This month’s horoscope by @maryyyprankster is all about fresh air, second chances, and the calm before the storm.

After the relentless heat of Aries season, June arrives like a cool breeze blowing through an open window. There’s finally room to breathe, think, and get your bearings. Relationships soften, unexpected opportunities emerge, and the universe rewards those willing to commit to a new direction.

But don’t get too comfortable. By month’s end, Mercury turns retrograde, Mars charges into Gemini, and the volume knob gets cranked all the way up on summer.

Move thoughtfully, stay flexible, and follow the link for your star sign’s strain pairing 💫

In this episode of Leafly’s Legendary Strains, Lindsay MaHarry heads to Mendocino to visit Emerald Spirit Botanicals, the family-run farm behind Pink Boost Goddess, one of the most legendary THCV-rich cultivars in the world.

At Emerald Spirit, science and spirit intertwine through an esoteric approach to cultivation that merges cutting-edge cannabinoid research with regenerative sungrown farming, intentional breeding, and spiritual practices that honor the plant’s energetic experience.

Their “Boost” lineage has earned Emerald Cups, California State Fair wins, and just about every other accolade imaginable, building a devoted following among patients, breeders, and connoisseurs alike.

Pink Boost Goddess is unlike anything you’ve smoked before. Rich in naturally occurring THCV, this rare cannabinoid is loved for its uniquely uplifting effects associated with energy, focus, mood support, and appetite regulation. In the medical sphere, THCV is also being studied for its potential role in balancing blood sugar and relieving nerve pain.

The result is a magical flower that makes you feel good, not just high.

Let’s go to a weed-centric bed and breakfast along the Russian River in Sonoma County: Mine + Farm Inn.

We sent Lindsay MaHarry deep into the Northern California forests of Guerneville, where @MineAndFarmCo blends sungrown flower, wellness, and sustainability, transforming the charm of wine country into the charm of weed country.

There, a particularly chic adult summer camp awaits, offering everything from infused dinners and stoned yoga, to THC mixology and a hot tub. Then, of course, our personal favorites, the Canna-share cabinet and its accompanying garden, where all flower is sun-grown on site.

This month’s horoscope by @maryyyprankster is all about unhinged energy and emotional intensity.

May usually rolls in with sparkly vibes of sunshine and flowers. Beach days hover on the horizon, and the energy of the month embodies life-giving spring. But, like everything in 2026, this May arrives the way Jack Torrance does in The Shining, when he axes a hole in the bathroom door, shoves his face into the splinters, and sneers, “Here’s Johnny!”

This 4/20, Leafly was proud to activate alongside @lastprisonerprj and @benandjerrys in NYC to celebrate the power of the plant while shining a light on the ongoing fight for justice and equity. We were honored to help create space for education, connection, and action around the work LPP continues to lead in supporting and advocating for those still impacted by the discriminatory, outdated laws around the plant.

As our CEO Peter Lee shared, one of the most meaningful moments of the day came when a security guard who had previously spent time in prison pulled Peter aside to offer his thanks for supporting people rebuilding their lives after incarceration. It was a powerful reminder that this work is personal, urgent, and far from over.

We believe this plant can be a force for positive change, and we’re proud to stand with organizations turning that belief into action. Here’s to continuing to show up, give back, and be doers.

Let’s head to the Emerald Triangle to check out some standout strains of spring 🌱

We sent Lindsay MaHarry to the wilds of Round Valley, Mendocino to explore gardens where plants grow as tall as buildings.

From a crystalline twist on Rosé to fresh haze grown in a thriving biodynamic ecosystem and an especially exciting electric landrace variety, each strain tells a deeper story about how the plant is grown, and why that matters.

As the garden wakes up, so should our curiosity.

Sweet, tart, and potent, Apple Tartz from Glacier Cannabis balances flavor and force.

On this episode of Legendary Strains, we went to visit Glacier Cannabis in Michigan, a small-batch operation in Manchester bringing new life to Runtz genetics through cultivars like Apple Tartz (Apple Fritter × Runtz).

Watch to see how this team steers a notoriously stretchy plant into frosty success, dialing in conditions across 13 precision-controlled rooms inside a converted horse barn.

Let’s head to SoCal to meet the duo behind Leafly’s Strain of the Year, Hash Burger 🍔🔥

We sent Lindsay MaHarry to Huntington Beach to sit down with Respect and Mrs. Respect of California Seed Bank, the couple behind one of the gassiest strains in the game.

Their journey started from a medicinal place. When Mrs. Respect was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, cannabis became essential for managing her pain. Since then, every strain they create is rooted in care, intention, and healing.

From there, we headed to Long Beach to visit @NoTillKings, an indoor living soil operation bringing Hash Burger to life with dense, resin-heavy buds shining in all their funky glory.

Born from Han Solo Hash Plant × Double Burger, Hash Burger has evolved from cult favorite to full-blown juggernaut, dominating both flower and solventless. Think loud garlic, onion funk, cracked pepper, and that unmistakable gassy punch.

But beyond the flavor and yields, this is a story about partnership, purpose, and the medicinal power of this magical plant.

Leafly Strain of the Year 2025 is… Hash Burger 🍔🔥

Born from Han Solo Hash Plant × Double Burger, and bred by Respect and Mrs. Respect of California Seed Bank during their now-defunct partnership with Skunk House Genetics, Hash Burger rose from cult favorite to a dual-market juggernaut, shining in both the flower scene and the solventless hash world.

With dense, resin-heavy buds built for the wash, Hash Burger is a proven dumper, releasing trichome heads with ease and delivering serious returns for ice water hash and rosin. Growers love the yields. Extractors love the output. We love the high. In a year when solventless continues to drive the top shelf, Hash Burger stands out as both a flavor statement and a production workhorse.

The nose hits first: spicy garlic, cracked pepper, onion funk, and a sharp flick of ammonia that lets you know the candy aisle is closed. On the palate, she brings a savory umami that is loud, funky, and gassy.

The high is social and giggly up top, with grounded body relief underneath, perfect for low-key hangs, movie nights, gaming sessions, or simply settling in. Bred with pain management in mind, it’s also become a favorite among medicinal patients looking for potency without losing the plot.

Hash Burger earns the crown for 2025 not just because it dumps, but because it delivers.
If it’s already flying off shelves near you, we’ve rounded up a few similar strains to satisfy your hunger.

The final feature in our Leafly Strain of the Year nominee series: Hash Burger.

A cross of Double Burger x Han Solo Hash Plant, this hash-dumping hero represents the roaring return of loud, skunky terps.

With a typhoon of deep umami flavor and no candy coating in sight, Hash Burger is unapologetically gassy, and we are always hungry for more.

Hash Burger is a stay-seated sort of strain that shines in low-key hangs and movie nights. It provides a soaring mental uplift with a grounded, full-body relief that makes it especially popular with medicinal patients.

Hash Burger earns its Leafly Strain of the Year nomination for being both a bold statement of flavor and a workhorse in the grow room, releasing trichome heads with ease, offering crazy yields, and delivering a hot, tasty serving of funk that we can’t resist.

The winner will be announced on March 4!

Our next Leafly Strain of the Year nominee is Dulce De Uva, a candy-gas heavyweight bred in Colorado by the hash minds at Bloom Seed Co

A cross of (Grape Pie × Wedding Crasher) × Ice Cream Cake—though some cuts trace back to Grape Pie × OG Kush—Dulce De Uva is built the way modern classics are made: loud terps, high resin yields, and killer bag appeal.

The nose is sugar-sweet grape, backed by hints of gasoline and pine. On the smoke, jammy fruit rolls into vanilla cream with a light gas finish that keeps things grounded. Frosted, colorful buds deliver a relaxed, euphoric high with a gentle lift that works for both casual smokers and seasoned heads.

It earns its nomination by executing a familiar formula at the highest level. Bloom’s hash-focused breeding shows up in both terp expression and resin production, making this cultivar as functional for growers and extractors as it is appealing on the shelf. Balanced, polished, and backed by coast-to-coast demand, Dulce De Uva makes a strong case for greatness.

We’ll be announcing the winner on March 4. Hit the 🔗 to see the full lineup! https://t.co/VcQfN2lTpc
