15 Of The Best Cannabis Products We Tried In 2021

From accessories, to flower, to everything in-between, these products stood out to us in 2021.

1. Some good quality cannabis flower from Farmer and the Felon that tastes and feels amazing while also donating proceeds to the Last Prisoner Project, an organization committed to freeing every last prisoner of the unjust war on drugs, starting with the estimated 40,000 individuals still imprisoned for cannabis as we speak:

Lara Parker for BuzzFeed

"Not only is the cannabis incredible, but the company puts the fight for cannabis justice at the front of their focus, which is what every cannabis company should do until every person is free to enjoy this plant should they want to." — Lara Parker

2. This intense, toe-curling cannabis-infused serum:

Negesti Kaudo for BuzzFeed

"I actually had the opportunity to try this product, and TBH it was my first foray into using CBD during masturbation...but it definitely won't be my last. I will say this product is definitely all about the science, so when it says three pumps, it means no more and no less. The serum is topical and only for external use, so clitoris and labia only. It's supposed to set in around 20 minutes, so I literally tried to be productive while I had a timer running, but the more time I spent waiting, the more it seemed like my vagina had grown a mind of its own. I decided to forgo ol' faithful and try out a couple new products, but I only was able to test one because I was having such a great time. 🥴 The orgasm(s) I had with this serum was so great, that I actually said "I love Air Pulse technology" aloud, which may be the most embarrassing thing I've ever done alone?"

The facts: This serum has 320 mg of CBD, a vegan formula, and doesn't really have a smell, like it just smells like a lotion. It's a bit thick — not like lube at all — and creates kind of a mess, but it wasn't hard to clean up at all (toy cleaner + soap and water). So far, it's only been tested on cis-women / AFAB people, so if you weren't born with a vagina...I would not recommend it. It's also compatible with latex." — Negesti Kaudo

Get it from Nordstrom for $55.25. 

3. The ultimate, supreme, beautiful and perfect bong from Session Goods:

Lara Parker for BuzzFeed

"I thought I had used bongs before, and knew what they were about, but the Session Goods bong really changed the game for me. It is, hands down, possibly the best way to get high in my humble opinion. You can taste the flower, you can feel the high in a very sharp, clear way. Plus the colors and design is very cute, what can I say? I highly recommend." — Lara Parker

Get it from Session Goods for $120 (available in seven colors).

4. This high-THC, high-relief strain from Creme De Canna Cannabis:

Karlton Herman

"I've had a range of stomach issues for a few years now, and this strain really does the trick. Whether it's increasing my appetite or quelling some gut pain, Cherry Punch from Creme de Canna is my go-to. Not to mention the taste and smell are delicious, and the 27% THC potency is *chef's kiss.* I usually go for Sativas (Indicas make me very drowsy), but this Hybrid gives me a boost of energy — so if you dislike sleepy bud then no worries here." — Karlton Jahmal

5. The Edie Parker Flower "doob tube:"

Natalie Oganesyan

"I bought the doob tube and the smell-proof pouch (seen below!) and both were splurges for me, but they really get the job done, and they're so adorable/colorful! And they get the job done." — Natalie Oganesyan

Get it from Edie Parker Flower for $35. 

6. Or Edie Parker Flower's smell-proof pouch:

Natalie Oganesyan

"Not only does this bag help keep things somewhat discreet, but you can use them for pretty much anything."— Natalie Oganesyan

Get it from Edie Parker Flower for $48.

7. The new live resin, diamond-infused pre-rolls from Glass House Farms:

Lara Parker for BuzzFeed

Promising review: "There are few things in life I enjoy more than a pre-roll. Sometimes my chronic pain is so bad that I don't have the energy to grind my own cannabis and roll my own joints, or put it into another smoking accessory. That's why I love having pre-rolls on hand. And these infused pre-rolls from Glass House Farms are very strong, very tasty, and very damn effective at curbing my pain and giving me an appetite back even in the worst of flares. These are definitely some of my go-to's now." — Lara Parker

8. These cannabis-infused churro cookies from Big Pete's Treats:

Big Pete's Insane Cookies, Brittney Trinh

"I tried this churro-flavored cookie edible earlier this year, and I love it so much! I used to only get sativa-based CBD products, but after trying this, I have completely switched to indica. I tend to get really anxious, and when I'm high--it's still fun and relaxing, but there's a lot of thoughts going on in my head that can make me more anxious. With this, it was like a big shield that made all the anxiety bounce off of me, and I was just able to chill, eat, and just have a great time. No bad thoughts, just vibes. The "Insane Churro" cookies retail for $20–$25 per bag, and are available at Dr. Greenthumb's locations throughout California". — Brittney Trinh

9. The cannabis-infused drink mix from Purejuana Cocktail Mix that will completely change your hydration game:

Lara Parker for BuzzFeed

"I am not normally an edible person, but I was so intrigued by the concept of Purejuana that I had to try it out. It's a cannabis-infused soluble powder that can be added to your drink of choice — even just water — but what I loved about it that others may or may not like is that you can both smell and taste the flower. If you, like me, are one of those people that loves smell-testing new strains from the dispensary, then you will be pleasantly surprised at being able to do the same thing with these tiny pouches of powder. As for the onset, I felt it within 20 minutes, and it was a nice, pleasant high that didn't leave me feeling groggy. Science! Who knew!" — Lara Parker

10. The classic 1 gram OG Pre-Roll from True Classic O.G., because if something isn't broken, why fix it?:

Lara Parker for BuzzFeed

"Have I mentioned how much I love a good pre-roll yet? There's something about having it ready to go, rolled by an expert-level roller, that I simply can't get enough of. But when I tried the classic OG pre-roll from True Classic O.G. — a brand that specializes in the True O.G. strain (hint: it's in the name) and believes their True O.G. strain always delivers its signature taste, smell, and high and is worth celebrating — I was sincerely impressed. I try a lot of cannabis, I use it daily for pain relief from my chronic illnesses. I am not writing paragraphs about every pre-roll I try. But this one certainly deserves it. If you aren't someone who enjoys the classic O.G. strain, however, this is certainly not for you. " — Lara Parker

11. The Cani-Sleep Oral CBD Spray that will (hopefully) change your ZZZ game once and for all:

Casey Rackham for BuzzFeed

"Though I take THC edibles every now and then for sleep, sometimes I don't feel like being high before bed and that's when I use CBD. For rest and sleep, I absolutely love Cani Wellness' Cani-Sleep oral spray. It's 250 mg of CBD in the container, as well as 30 mg of Melatonin, which I think is the perfect amount. I just spray a little bit under my tongue before bed and I'm off to sleep!" — Casey Rackham

Get it from Cani-Sleep for $29.99.

12. This incredible de-bowler from Blazy Susan:

Lara Parker for BuzzFeed

"First of all, this bowl cleaner is $10 and second of all it has changed my life. I really don't even know HOW I used to clean my pipes prior to purchasing this. I sometimes used an old bobby pin to get the tough residue off prior to cleaning with alcohol. This is such a handy tool to have in the interim and I use it all of the time." — Lara Parker

Get it from Blazy Susan for $9.99 (available in nine colors).

13. And this very cute, vintage-looking ash tray is just charming to have around the house:

"I bought this ashtray after seeing people share about it on TikTok and was surprised by how much I loved it. It keeps ashes hidden away until you're ready to dump them out and can be kept in common/public areas without people knowing what's inside. Regardless of function, it's pretty cute too so I have it on display in my room!"— Kat Pickhardt

Get it from Amazon for $18.55+ (available in two colors).

14. Not looking to inhale? Kin Slips Sublingual Cannabis Strips are quick, easy, and may give you cute reminiscent flashbacks of taking a Listerine strip back in the day:

Lara Parker for BuzzFeed

"I am not usually someone who reaches for an edible for a couple of reasons; traditionally speaking they take longer to take effect and when my pain is BAD, I certainly don't want to wait for relief. I also have found that edibles don't always curb my nausea and give me an appetite the same way inhalation does. BUT, that all changed a bit when I tried the sublingual strips from Kin Slips. You stick one of these strips under your tongue, let it dissolve, and voilà, in 15-30 minutes (for me) you will get a nice, relaxing high that will leave you watching a documentary on fungi and marveling at the beauty of the world we call home. At 10mg a piece, these particular slips are live resin, meaning (according to this handy guide from Leafly) that it's a more malleable concentrate, sitting somewhere between a wax and a sauce. Live resins tend to be potent with a lot of THC, and consumers love it because of its intense flavors and aromas which carry over from the original plant. This strip certainly delivered on both flavor and aroma." — Lara Parker

Get a 10-pack from Kin Slips for $29.

15. And the super compact, super powerful new Persy Pod Vapes from 710Labs:

Lara Parker for Buzzfeed

Promising review: "Boy oh boy do I love 710labs. Not to be like a total fangirl, but their cannabis products have yet to disappoint me in terms of taste, pain management, and all around good times. But this year in particular I really enjoyed their new solventless Persy Rosin Persy Pods. Made using ice water, cannabis flower, agitation, and combined with a little heat and critical pressure is 710's tech. What that means is, when processing this particular extract they used no butane, hexane, or other foreign chemicals. I tried the Papaya#35 strain (I love Papaya strains) and it was a clear-minded, pain-reducing high. Plus the vapes are compact and pretty cute. What can I say?" — Lara Parker
