93 Boyz pre-roll: Pit Stop blend

(93 Boyz/Leafly)

In 2022, we saw the debut of artist Vic Mensa‘s 93 Boyz brand in Illinois. The Black-owned cannabis company with deep ties to the Chicago community offers pre-rolls in three signature strains.

This holiday, we suggest the Pit Stop pre-roll, a 0.75 g joint that makes the perfect stocking stuffer. This hybrid blend pre-roll will help you or someone you love take a moment to relax amidst the busy holiday season without making them want to take a nap.

It’s also great to have in your pocket for a sesh with your friends or cousins.

The potent indica-like strain has Afghani landrace DNA and is primed to become your go-to companion for a relaxing night in with some tasty tunes, courtesy of the Allman Brothers. 

Light up matter.’s premium orange-flecked flower, and you’ll be greeted with a bold chocolate flavor and a slow-building euphoria that, like an excellent concert, crescendos into pure bliss. All you need to do is sit back, light up, and eat a peach.


Durban Poison from UpNorth Humboldt 

(UpNorth/Leafly)

California-style cannabis makes its way to Illinois in the careful hands of UpNorth Humboldt.

The brand’s small-batch flower operation delivers well-loved strains to consumers, as is the case with their eighth of Durban Poison. The well-priced (for Illinois) 3.5 g jar provides an energetic boost known for relieving stress and anxiety.

Best of all, Durban Poison is dominant in citrusy terpinolene, a terpene you don’t stumble upon easily. The rarity of terpinolene makes the gift of UpNorth Humboldt Durban Poison extra special due to its unique chemistry and uplifting effects.

Cann Hi-Boy – Blood Orange Cardamom

(Cann/Leafly)

Weed drinks can be a tasty way to unwind and enjoy holiday flavors, along with the added bonus of waking up hangover free.

We recommend Cann’s Blood Orange Cardamom Hi-Boys for both fun and festivity this holiday season. Grab a 4-pack to share with other cannabis-loving adults, or put a bow on one as a gift to your holiday host.

Each can contains 5 milligrams of THC, taking the evening up a notch with every crack of a tab.

Good News disposable vape pen – Brunch

(Good News/Leafly)

What’s more fun than a holiday brunch? The only thing that may be able to compete is the Good News Brunch pen, a 300 mg disposable vape with a citrusy taste that will remind you of orange juice or mimosas.

The discreet vape provides a bright, functional relaxation, making it a smart gift for a friend who usually chooses coffee for their morning buzz or often needs a bump of energy in the afternoon.

The disposable format makes it NBD if it accidentally gets lost.

Dogwalkers 0.35g prerolls in Kosher Kush

(Dogwalkers/Leafly)

Baby, it’s cold outside, and not everybody is trying to expose themselves to the elements for too long. That’s why these Kosher KushDogwalkers are THE gift for winter in Illinois.

This five-pack of 0.35 g joints provides someone you love with the perfect portion of weed to take a quick walk around the block at the end of the night. They are excellent to give to your friends who are on the go or to share as a nightcap at a party where you aren’t keen on also sharing germs.

Kosher Kush is an ideal evening strain with a delicious earthy flavor thanks to myrcene, its dominant terpene. It also helps with stress, pain, and insomnia.
