The people have spoken! Presenting The Cannabist People’s Choice Awards 2017.

We asked you to vote for your favorite cannabis consumables, people and places for 2017. As we’ve had a little excitement in the weed world in January (looking at you, Jeff Sessions), it’s taken us a little longer than we expected to tally the votes, so we thank you for your patience.

But without further delay, here are the best strains, edibles and vapes, according to The Cannabist’s esteemed readers.

Smooth smoking experience. Sleek design

Easy to use and super easy to clean

The atomizers and the three different heat settings make it super simple and efficient to use.

Gives u nice smooth rips and keeps the flavor

Looks awesome and hits consistently

I like the three “speeds” and it seems to deliver the product better than others I have used.
