The Cannabist People’s Choice Awards 2017: Marijuana Consumables

By Polly Washburn, The Cannabist Staff

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.

This strain is surprisingly popular despite its branding.

Amazing taste and flavor. Functions perfectly.

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

Good vape flow, long heating cycles, used it for a year — carried in pocket — good and durable.

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

The effect is amazing

The only edible I like to eat before a particularly difficult workout.

Because they are awesome?

They taste just like each flavor they do and they’re the perfect for dosing

They are soft and don’t stick to my teeth

Consistently dosed, the flavors are amazing, can’t taste any hash. Heck yeah.

The 10/10 THC/CBD effect is like no other edible I have eaten. Very comfortable.

They make the music sound awesome
