MoCannTrade recently held its 2026 Q2 member meetup at the Stoney Creek Conference Center in Independence, MO. The members-only event attracted hundreds of attendees, including key figures from Missouri’ s cannabis industry. Participants gathered to celebrate, promote, and discuss various aspects of Missouri’ s cannabis industry. The event was sponsored by prominent industry names, including Curio Wellness, Stash House Distro, Rove, Smokiez, Electric Honey, Vivid, and more. During the event, I engaged with numerous manufacturers in the expo area, eager to showcase their latest products entering the Missouri cannabis market. Here are the Budtender Picks I discovered at the expo.
Super Fog – Wild Watermelon- TWISTED Liquid THCA Diamonds Jefé Disposable Vape
Indica-dominant Hybrid- THC 84 %- 1000mg The MoCannTrade exhibitor hall was bustling with a comprehensive representation of the cannabis industry. Among the first exhibits I encountered was Superfog, a relatively new entrant to the Missouri cannabis market. Superfog operates under its parent company, MFUSEDA. After engaging with Jason, the director of marketing, I was thoroughly impressed. I had the opportunity to sample the Superfog All-In-One from its TWISTED product lineup, which features highly flavorful, high-strength concentrates utilizing melted THCa diamonds for enhanced potency and all-natural terpenes. Throughout the weekend, I consistently used the Wild Watermelon vape and found that the melon-bubblegum flavor remained robust with each use. Superfog describes this classic flavor as a juicy burst of deliciousness that is almost chewable, a sentiment I wholeheartedly agree with. This potent Indica-dominant hybrid is ideal for those seeking a high-quality disposable vape that delivers a deeply sedative, head-in-the-clouds experience. Average retail: $ 39.
Borealis – Super Boof – Live Rosin
Hybrid – THC 76 % – 1G Borealis Super Boof rosin is a premium solventless concentrate crafted using heat, pressure, and time. It is pressed from ice-water hash derived from fresh-frozen flower and then coldcured to achieve its final texture. This process preserves the plant’ s native terpene profile, ensuring a clean and authentic experience that remains true to the cultivar. To consume, I used my Puffco Pivot on the lowest heat setting to vaporize the rosin. This particular strain of Super Boof is an evenly balanced hybrid( 50 % Indica / 50 % Sativa) that delivers a potent mind-and-body high. Initially, I experienced cerebral effects characterized by a euphoric sense of well-being that was not overwhelming, allowing me to focus on tasks without distraction. As the body high set in, I enjoyed a very pleasant physical relaxation. The rosin expressed bold aromatics, with a predominant grapefruit aroma complemented by earthy notes of pungent spice and sour citrus zest. Overall, this Borealis rosin is a flavor-forward, well-balanced high with an uplifting character. Terpene Profile: limonene, beta caryophyllene, beta myrcene, linalool, nerolidol. Average retail: $ 55.
Cheech & Chong’ s Drooler Prepack – Prom Cream – Flower
Hybrid – THC 23 % – 1 / 8oz( 3.5g) It is nearly impossible to find a duo more closely associated with marijuana than Cheech and Chong. These iconic comedy actors, whose films frequently revolve around the theme of acquiring and smoking cannabis, have now entered the Missouri marketplace. The brand is committed to its motto,“ It will always be good,” a standard it upholds in every state where Cheech and Chong’ s cannabis is available. This strain offers a subtle euphoria that gently engages your senses with each inhale. The calming high envelops you, guiding you into deep relaxation.
