Buddies was founded in Grants Pass, Oregon, in early 2017 and launched in August of that same year, but the founders are from the east coast. It started with an idea shared between a couple of friends in a Charlotte, North Carolina high school—they wanted to create a brand everyone could participate in. James, now the president of Buddies Brand, and Nick moved to Washington to start building their vision from the ground up. Shane Coble, founder of Permanent Vacation, was the missing piece of the puzzle that brought that vision into reality. He moved to Washington to help them get Buddies up and running. In the beginning, Buddies focused on making crumble wax, hash, and resin, prioritizing quality and scalability. They quickly figured out terpene extraction and began experimenting with re-introducing terpene profiles to their distillate. As a result, their Sour Tangie strain won Best Vape Cartridge in Oregon’s 2018 Dope Cup.&nbsp;That spirit of experimentation can be felt throughout their product line. Take their live resin “Liquid Diamonds”, for instance. Buddies freezes their flower within an hour of harvesting it to retain the terpenes and cannabinoids so they can extract it using a BHO process and create their live resins,—that’s nothing new, it’s just the best way to make crystals. They had the crazy idea of engineering a process to reduce those crystals back down to a crystal state for more precise dosing and dabbing. Buddies is one of the few vape cartridge producers that’s operating successfully in three states with legal recreational cannabis. ﻿They have facilities in Oregon, Washington, and California that all have to stay compliant with each individual states’ regulations for cannabis production while also maintaining the consistent level of quality on which they built their brand. We respect that entrepreneurial spirit, and in the past three years, Buddies has grown from three guys with a vision to over a hundred people working to make the best cannabis extract everyone can participate in.

The best cure for a case of the blues is to get off the couch, go outside, and walk around for a little while. If you have a dog, you already know that they think going for a walk is the most interesting, reinvigorating thing they can possibly imagine. Everything has its own unique scent, the world is teeming with sounds of life, and there's prospective adventure around every corner.

Even if you don't have a dog, these Dogwalker pre-rolls from Buddies will put you in the exact same mindset. It's got a complex flavor—woody and skunky at the same time, like a walk in a forest—that's sure to harmonize with any natural setting in which you find yourself. When you start to feel the high, it will be calming and focusing, centering you in the present moment so you can experience the beauty and wonder that surrounds you.

Apple Fritter is the perfect come-down strain, well suited to taking things down a notch without dropping off completely. It's a cross of Sour Apple and Animal Cookies, so its flavor is all dessert. You'll get an aroma that's earthy and sweet, with a light appley flavor. The high from Apple Fritter is tingly in the body and lofty in the mind, which is great for stimulating pillow talk where the conversation is allowed to meander across a lot of subjects while never leaving behind its positive intimacy. This is also a good transition strain for moving smoothly from one activity to another.

The good news is, it's not named for James Franco! This Franco Lemon Cheese is a very special hybrid named for the late great Franco Loja, who was a prominent Green House Seed Company breeder in Amsterdam. The last pairing he ever made was a cross between his two favorite plants, Super Lemon Haze and Exodus Cheese, resulting in "Franco's Lemon Cheese."
Franco Lemon Cheese is simply delightful, there's no other way to put it. As a flower, it ends up with a flavor that's close to crème brûlée, but as a vaporizer cartridge, it's more like a lemon cheesecake. Franco Lemon Cheese is sweet and tart, with a satisfyingly cheese aftertaste following the exhale. It pairs well with actual cheesecake or a black forest gateau, making it an excellent wedding reception vape.
In fact, the high from Franco Lemon Cheese is so bubbly and gregarious, it would be a welcome addition to just about any social situation. Just as Franco Loja used to get the party started with his legendary joints, Franco Lemon Cheese stimulates conversation and feelings of camaraderie, quickly establishing common ground with people you just met and deepening connections with your more familiar friends.

It's always welcome when a strain's name tells a story. Super Lemon MAC wears its heritage on its sleeve—it's Super Silver Haze combined with Lemon Miracle Alien Cookies—but it's also so much more than the sum of its parts. Super Lemon MAC is a near 90% sativa hybrid with a memorable taste and invigorating high that will send you out into the world instead of locking you indoors on the couch.
We don't know how Buddies does it, but this vape tastes sharply of sour lemon, peppered with spicy notes of nutmeg and cinnamon. Super Lemon MAC leaves a delightful tingle on your tongue and lips, pricking your pucker into a smile. And its effects are certainly eye-opening.
The stigma associated with sativas—that they can lead to feelings of paranoia, anxiety, or dizziness—seems to have dissipated with modern breeding practices, and Super Lemon MAC is no exception. It has a high that will have you leaping out of bed to greet the day, throwing on whatever will get you out the door the fastest, and sustain that momentum until the sun goes down. You might not normally think of weed as a stimulant, but Super Lemon MAC does the trick.

Great news for people who don't like to lose out on tasty bud just because they want something that packs a punch: Punch Breath knocks it out of the park across the board. It will also likely knock you out, unless you've got the tolerance to withstand its effects or the self-control to limit yourself to two hits. That's going to be tough though, because this is one of the tastier strains we've ever come across.
Bred from parents notorious for their delicious taste (Mendo Breath and Purple Punch, if you're curious,) Punch Breath is the epitome of culinary customization. It's got that sweet candy taste of fruity grapes layered over top of savory cookie dough and a touch of herbal earthiness, just like an old-fashioned weed cookie where you can just barely taste the bud that went into it.
Punch Breath is heavy, sedative strain that will lay you out flat reaching for the closest snacks. You've probably got about fifteen or twenty minutes after smoking to get into a quiet, comfortable location where you can chill out for a couple hours, or just consider the day seized and sleep off the rest of it.

Lemon Meringue is a sweet and zesty strain that has never tasted better than in this vape cartridge. Its aroma includes citrus, a hint of diesel, and some nuttiness for texture. And it's sweet, sweeter than you might think a vape could be. These flavored distillates are some of the most delicious vapes on the market.
But how does it feel? Like the whole world is made of candy. Lemon Meringue is the type of strain to release all of the tension you've got stored in your body with a tingling benediction, sending you floating away on couches of cotton candy clouds. It’s a powerful and permeating feeling of ultimate relaxation, great for lazy afternoons.

Before the dawn of the written word, before the domestication of horses, seven thousand years before the common era, naturally-occurring fermentation turned honey into mead and altered the course of human history forever. Of course, humans had already been using cannabis for about 5,000 years by that point, but without the development of these mind-altering substances, there may never have been any reason to write anything down in the first place. This Honey Wine vaporizer cartridge from Buddies is a beautiful homage to the history of humans expanding their minds.
The predominant flavor of Honey Wine is a sweet musk with accents of citrus and grape, swirling together into an exquisitely rich taste that recalls millennia of careful cultivation. It lingers on your tongue with a familiar thickness, even after you've exhaled. And that's only the beginning.
Despite its sativa-leaning heritage, Honey Wine is a supremely relaxing strain. It calms you down without disconnecting you entirely from your surroundings, bringing you around to a newfound appreciation for the achievements of our species. Artificial light, air conditioning, movable printed type—all will become marvels before your mind as you kick back and bask in the glory of human technological evolution.

Chem Cookies might not sound all too appetizing, but trust us—it's worth it. It's got a sweet nuttiness with a noticeable overtone of diesel that comes off more like spicy coffee than fuel. It's an invigorating flavor to be sure, and that might fool you into thinking it's an activating high.

The stone creeps up on you slowly—so slowly, in fact, that if you take two hits of Chem Cookies before you've felt the effects of the first one, you're going to be crawling into bed for the night when it finally kicks in. This is a high that comes loaded with soothing and relaxing effects that are the perfect complement to cold, rainy days when all you want to do is lie in bed, warm and cozy, listening to the pitter-patter on your window.

If you've never ridden a motorcycle, you might not know the profound sense of serenity that can arise from being perched atop the rumbling engine of one of those magnificent machines. When the white noise of the motor drowns out all other sound, and you're teetering on the point of equilibrium, it's like being rocked in a cradle. Even the exhaust fumes become soothing.

Motorbreath seeks to invoke that same sense of boundless calm you would find on a cross-country motorcycle road trip. Two hits will leave you wanting to plop down next to a campfire with your bedroll for a pillow and just stare up at the stars for a while. It's got a gassy flavor presentation with a delightfully lemon aftertaste.

The body high from Motorbreath is also supremely relaxing. It loosens your muscles like a vibrating massager, and some people find it's the fastest way to get to sleep. Whether you're calling it an early night or staying up late to share your bed with someone special, Motorbreath is definitely a strain for after dark, when sleep already on the table.

Don't you just love it when a strain has a distinctive aftertaste, the kind where you tasting it on the roof of your mouth a few hours later calls back fond memories of earlier in the day when you took that really good hit? Meat Breath isn't the most appetizing flavor to be stuck with, but once you associate it with the experience of this Meath Breath Live Resin vape, it will quickly become a craving.

Meat Breath is a cross between Meatloaf and Mendo Breath, so it's certainly going to be one of the more pungent vapes you try. On the inhale, it's all spicy citrus like a limoncello made with Fireball whiskey instead of vodka, then the exhale fills the room with the savory aroma of smoked peppered meat. Even as a vape, this strain is a cougher.

The best part about Meat Breath is that it's a balanced high that delivers equally potent mind and body effects for a smooth, euphoric, pain-relieving experience all the way through. You'll feel it in your fingers, you'll feel it in your toes, and that tantalizing flavor will even tickle your nose. Pairs well with wings or a Double Double.

Some people want to enjoy the deeply rejuvenating effects of a strong indica but don't appreciate the funky, musky flavor that often accompanies it. Dosi Punch was bred to tackle that issue head-on, fusing the delicious fruitiness of the "Purple" family of strains with the mouthwatering sweetness of Do-Si-Dos. As a distillate, you get all that delicious goodness without any of the harshness of the flower.

The only way to describe Dosi Punch is "thick." It tastes richly of the darker fruits—grape, plum, black cherry—with some more savory notes of cookie dough and cinnamon. Even though this is a distillate, the vapor cloud will pour from your mouth like frothed cream, lingering in the air like an October morning fog. 

If you're easily overstimulated, wading out into that fog might be the only way to hone your unique voice and vision for artistic creation. Dosi Punch turns down the intensity of the outside world, hitting your head with a heavy stone and dulling your tactile senses to insulate you from the cold and discomfort. This is a great strain for self-care, self-expression, and inter-self communication.


Buddies | Dosi Punch Distillate | 1g

Picture this: it's the end of a long work day, you're tired, and you just want to relax—but you don't want to check out entirely for the night. You already said, "yes" to going out with your friends, so if you get too faded, you'll end up missing out. What do you do?

Hopefully, you've got us in your bookmarks so you can order this Blood Orange distillate real quick. It's got a heavy concentration of THC to deliver that fast-acting relief you need to recuperate, and it comes with a strong presentation of cannabigerol, which has both anti-inflammatory and uplifting properties. As long as you don't overdo it, the high will start to clear just as it's time for you to get ready to leave the house.

People don't usually think of sativa-dominant hybrids when they're trying to relax, but Blood Orange is here to make sure you get the best of both worlds. It's the product of Cali Orange Bud and Appalachia, culminating in an experience that's best for experienced connoisseurs who know their tolerance. Oh, and it tastes like honey and apricots, so you get your spoonful of sugar while the medicine goes down.
