Budtender Picks...
FALL in Love with this Month’ s Budtender Picks
by Tim Lawrence, AKA Inspector Dank, contributing writer
September traditionally marks harvest month. The September 22 Equinox marks the beginning of meteorological autumn this year, when the hours of daylight and darkness are approximately equal. The Corn Moon, named by Native Americans for the timing of the harvest, reaches peak illumination this year on Saturday, September 26, according to the Farmers’ Almanac. This month, I’ ve searched dispensary shelves and harvested a few great budtender picks, from Moonrock infused blunts to cannabis-infused milk chocolate bars to live rosin vapes to CBD pet peanut butter for your faithful companions. There’ s plenty to fall in love with.
Bambino – Sugar Cookies – Infused Blunt by Terrabis – Hybrid – THC 32 % – 2g
16 September 2026
My initial encounter with Bambino was its Moonrock Infused 1g Blunt. Recently, Bambino introduced its new 2g infused blunts, each diligently crafted with 1.75g of premium indoor flower and a quarter gram of distillate, all combined with a terpene-infused center. Each Bambino 2g blunt reflects a high level of attention to detail. The blunts are rolled with precision in a hemp wrap, which I prefer to denser wraps with overpowering flavors.
In my experience, hemp wraps burn slowly and evenly, preserving the natural flavor profile of the freshly ground flower. This infused hybrid strain delivers a strong initial impact. The high-potency concentrate used to infuse the flower, combined with natural terpenes, creates a remarkably potent smoking experience. For those seeking an impressive communal smoke, presenting a Bambino 2g infused blunt makes an exceptional centerpiece at group gatherings. Average retail price is $ 30.

Honeybee – Sticky Bun – Cannabis Infused Milk Chocolate Bar by Proper Cannabis – Hybrid – THC 100mg
Honeybee has firmly established itself as a preferred choice among consumers and industry professionals alike. Honeybee Edibles cater to those seeking a decadent, cannabis-infused treat. The Artisan Chocolate bars are expertly crafted by chefs using rich European chocolate and premium cannabis by the Proper Cannabis brand, along with carefully selected ingredients such as roasted nuts, pure sea salt, and exquisite fruits( vegetarian). The bars are free from artificial colors and flavors. Honeybee offers nine cannabis-infused chocolate bars with varying potencies, catering to both novices and experienced consumers.
I selected the Sticky Bun chocolate bar for its enticing ingredients, including cinnamon-candied pecans, sweet brown sugar, and smooth milk chocolate. The cannabis effects began approximately 15 minutes after consumption and lasted for several hours. I recommend these cannabis-infused chocolate products to those seeking a straightforward high in a delightful treat.
