FLAMER Review: Get To Know This Queer-Owned NYC Cannabis Brand

FLAMER is blazing a trail in New York’s vibrant queer cannabis community. As a chosen family-owned and -operated brand, building a cannabis-centric community is at the heart of FLAMER’s ethos — not to mention the brand’s unforgettable, flaming red joints. And if FLAMER looks familiar, that’s because it’s been a key part of several events with The Travel Agency, including our 2024 4/20 picnic in Prospect Park.

As for the weed? FLAMER offers unique cultivars (strains) you won’t find anywhere else in New York City, some of which are exclusive to us. Read on to learn more.

FLAMER pre-rolls and flower available at The Travel Agency

The cannabis used in FLAMER’s bright red pre-rolls is sun-grown at Jane’s Garden, a family-run farm located in the foothills of Hooker Mountain in Schenevus Valley in upstate New York. All FLAMER pre-rolls are dyed red using a natural soy-based dye. Patrick Weinert and the Weinert family take the lead in cultivating the cultivars used in FLAMER pre-rolls, channeling their hands-on farming knowledge into growing quality cannabis.

FLAMER’s whole-flower cannabis is sun-grown and hand-trimmed at Blackbird Gardens, a small farm near Jefferson, New York, in the Empire State’s iconic Catskills.

Lobotomy pre-rolls

FLAMER’s Lobotomy pre-rolls are ideal for winding down after a taxing day or for getting a fix of mindlessness. Its flavor notes are reminiscent of spice, musk, and sweet citrus, with the dominant terpenes farnesene, beta-myrcene, and limonene delivering a soothing, chill, and sometimes couch-sinking experience. In FLAMER’s words: “feel brain-dead for a lil bit!”

With these pre-rolls, you’re in for a tranquil escape from the chaos of the big city.

Get some sparks flying with FLAMER’s Pillow Princess flower. This cultivar may bring on amorous effects perfect for a Valentine’s Day date, though ideally one at home — you may feel so calm you get couch-locked.

From how it tastes to how it feels, Revelation may be eye-opening.
