These are New Jersey’s top weed strains
The Garden State can’t get enough of these five strains, according to data from Leafly Pharmacy.
Opening day of legal cannabis sales in New Jersey is fast approaching, and day one could be as early as May. The state’s first medical dispensary opened in Montclair in December 2012, and patients have received rave reviews for a handful of native New Jersey strains.
We’ve sifted through order dates to find New Jersey’s best weed strains. Keep scrolling for a guide on how to get properly baked in NJ for 420 and up. As New Jersey’s top pharmacies prepare for the upcoming onslaught of recreational customers, skip the line with in-store delivery or pickup and get this editor’s picks on Leafly.
1. Blueberry
New Jersey is known for growing cranberries, but Blueberry is the number one choice in NJ dispensaries in 2022. Blame it on the sweet aromas of fresh blueberries, combined with relaxing effects for a long-lasting euphoria. A favorite for decades to relieve pain and stress, this strain won the High Times Cannabis Cup in 2000, thanks in part to its colorful hues and high THC levels. A special thank you to American breeder DJ Short who pulled the original genetics of this A-lister from a variety of landrace strains in the 1970’s.
2. Runtz

Runtz continues to dominate the national conversation two years after winning the 2020 Leafly Strain of the Year title. Marvel at the rich purple and lime-green color spectrum and engulf the creamy, smooth, creamy smoke this strain produces to understand why she keeps selling off the shelves. Buyers keep coming back for euphoric highs and uplifting effects, and growers rave about Runtz’s ability to grow indoors or outdoors.
3. Mob Boss
This strain originated in California around 2009 thanks to the work of Grindhouse Medical Seeds. And it’s making quite the impression in New Jersey, thanks in part to its sweet floral flavor and herbal citrus undertones. And medical patients say Mob Boss is a stone-cold killer for treating muscle tension, improving mood and stimulating appetite.
As one Leafly shopper told Boss, “My favorite strain overall. I could smoke this every day for the rest of my life! Haha. I love how I can smoke it all day and feel great then it helps me relax and sleep. Best head up ever. Talk, think and laugh.”

4. Motor breath
Attention beginners. This greasy gassy pig will run over you if you’re not ready for its powerful effects. Crossing Chemdog and SFV OG Kush, this award-winning strain imparts notes of fuel, earth, and citrus that OG lovers can count on.

5. Ice
A cross between Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies, this balanced hybrid produces a relaxed euphoria. With dark purple hues, fiery orange hair, and a lustrous white crystal coating, it’s becoming a connoisseur favorite, with numbered variants like Gelato #3, Gelato #33, Gelato #41, and Gelato #45 springing up to continue its legacy .
It’s safe to say that the precious terps of Gelato will never go out of style.
