Each month Patients asks a handful of the best dispensary representatives from around the state to give a recommendation for their favorite, or the most popular, product at their dispensary. If you’d like to nominate your favorite budtender or dispensary, drop us a line at hello@patientsmagazine.com. This month we were overwhelmed with responses, so a few of your favorite budtenders will be featured in the near future.

10:1 Gummies | Robhots
The combination of cannabinoids in the gummies give almost an umbrella effect for all patients who need the more physical effects of cannabis instead of the psychoactive side. Many of the patients have come back to me and expressed their gratitude for being able to experience some sort of normalcy again. As a budtender, it’s truly inspiring to see a patient return being happy and healthier with a product such as this.

Citral Glue | Flora Farms
My absolute favorite strain that we have at Flora has got to be that Citral Glue. The smell of it is just this nasty funk of feta cheese that makes my mouth water every time I sniff it. I smell it all day when it’s slow at the shop. I can never go wrong with it, when in doubt I always go with the Citral Glue. I can use it for morning, afternoon, and night, it doesn’t matter, it’s my go-to. I knew that one landed in my top five about a couple months ago. I sold the last pack that we had, (and it was a solid one as usual) and the song from KWS “Please don’t go” came on as he was walking out and I felt that pull inside and that’s when I knew, Citral Glue was the one. I recommend this to anyone who likes a good chill Sativa. It’s Citral Skunk x Gorilla Glue, so not super energetic, but very relaxing and soothing, but still functional.

I absolutely love what Proper is putting out. They are making a lot of noise across the state of Missouri with their high-quality products. Among the many products I like of theirs, Love Affair is at the top. A cross between Alien Rock Candy and Gorilla Glue #4, it offered amazing pain relief thanks to the presence of caryophyllene and humulene, both great for inflammation.

Maggie Nilson | Missouri Wild Alchemy
My dispensary pick this month is Gelato grown by Illicit Gardens in Kansas City. Gelato is a hybrid strain and one of my personal favorites. This strain’s dominant terpene is limonene, which can give a very relaxing effect on the mind, while also sparking one’s creativity! Of all the Gelato cultivars I’ve experienced, Illicit has really landed the taste profile of this strain like no other. We currently have this strain available along with many other options to fit what you’re looking for. Come chat with one of us!

Purple Sunset | Flora Farms
My favorite product at the moment would be Flora Farms Purple Sunset Flower. Flower has always been my favorite method of consumption, however finding the strains that work best for me has been a challenge. I can confidently say that Purple Sunset has been very consistent for treating my medical needs. This strain has a sweet citrus floral taste with creative and sedative effects, Purple Sunset leaves my body and mind in a state of natural bliss.
