Our Budtender Survey Results Are In! What Are Missouri’s Top 5 Product Recs?
Budtender knows best! We surveyed our From The Earth dispensary Budtenders and they had a lot to say about their favorite products, and the ones that customers request the most at our Missouri dispensaries. There is such a wide selection of great brands at From The Earth– it was hard to narrow it down!
We’ve organized this list by our budtenders’ favorite product types, and featured some particular products in each category that were mentioned again and again. Check out these recommendations from those who are in the know.
1. Edibles
The #1 favorite product type for both budtenders and customers is edibles! Edibles are such a convenient and discreet way to get your daily cannabis, it’s no wonder that they’re so well-loved. With such a wide variety of forms and fun flavors, there is an edible for everyone. There are so many different types of edibles at our Missouri dispensaries– but what kind of edibles to buy?
Our budtenders especially love these edible products:
Pearls and Mega Pearls by grӧn were the most mentioned product on our budtender survey! Budtenders recommend grӧn as the best weed edibles because of their delicious flavors, full-spectrum THC and other cannabinoids, and creative packaging. With grӧn, you can choose the more traditional 10-pack of sugar-coated gummy Pearls, or the Mega Pearl, which features a mega-dose of THC (and/or other cannabinoids) in one fun, giant gummy– perfect for sharing!
Keef sodas are another popular product among our budtenders. Keef makes THC-infused beverages in mouth-watering flavors like your classic Cola and Root Beer, or modern tastes like Purple Passion and Blue Razz. With 25 mg of THC per can, Keef is packed with potency.
From The Earth’s extensive selection of gummies rounds out the recommended edible list. In addition to the favorite, grӧn, budtenders mentioned brands Kiva, Robhots, and Wana as their go-to gummies for great flavors and effects.
2. Flower
Cannabis flower is the second most popular type of product at From The Earth, which makes sense. There’s nothing like packing & smoking a good ol’ fashioned bowl or joint! Being able to touch, smell, and taste the plant itself is a big part of a complete cannabis experience.
Flower can feel overwhelming because there are so many different strains with varying aromas, terpenes, flavors, and effects. It’s hard to know which to choose for your needs, but budtenders are the best ones to ask for flower advice. What is the best strain of weed according to From The Earth budtenders?
Survey says… Illicit strains are the best! The top weed strains recommended by budtenders on the survey were all Illicit strains.
Sativa: Illicit Clementine is the preferred sativa strain among budtenders. Clementine is a sativa-dominant hybrid cross between Tangie and Lemon Skunk and its citrusy sweet aroma comes from its dominant terpenes– myrcene, pinene, and limonene. Clementine is what budtenders turn to first when you are looking for an energy- and mood-boosting strain.
Indica: Illicit Violet Fog will do just what its name suggests– put you into a fog. When folks want a giggly and relaxing strain that leads to sleep, budtenders recommend indica-dominant Violet Fog as a sure bet. Its Grape Gasoline and Khalifa Mints genetics feature high levels of myrcene, linalool, and caryophyllene– giving it a skunky, sweet grape fragrance.
Hybrid: Illicit Ghost OG is recommended by budtenders when you’re seeking the best of both worlds with a balanced hybrid strain. Ghost OG effects are said to come in two phases– first a cerebral euphoria, then a full body relaxation. Caryophyllene, nerolidol, and myrcene dominate the terpene scene, providing its sweet scent.
Prerolls: If you prefer the ease and convenience of pre-rolled joints, turn to budtender survey favorite Rollozz.
3. Live Rosin
When it comes to extracts, budtenders know the best ones are live rosin. If you’re looking for incredible purity, flavor, and effects, you can’t beat a live rosin product. This is because live rosin comes from a clean, solvent-free extraction process which preserves all of the cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids in whole cannabis.
Live rosin concentrates are perfect for dabbing, or are also available in vape cartridges. Our budtenders specifically mentioned Monopoly Melts as their customers’ favorite live rosin brand.
Try out one of these Monopoly Melts cold-cured live rosin products:
- Monopoly Melts Rainbow Belts x Sunburn Live Rosin
- Monopoly Melts Strawberries & Cream x Rainbow Belts Live Rosin
- Monopoly Melts Bruce Banner Live Rosin Disposable Vape
4. Concentrates & Cartridges
Other types of concentrates and vape cartridges are another budtender top 5 favorite. Lotus Concentrates and Rove cartridges were called out on the survey as being two of the best!
Lotus Concentrates are known for their high-quality, live resin extractions. Live resin is similar to live rosin in that it maintains all the cannabinoids and terpenes of whole cannabis. However, live resin is extracted using a solvent while live rosin is solvent-free.
The Rove brand is renowned for their wide variety of flavorful and effective strain-specific vape cartridges and disposable vapes.

5. Accessories
If you smoke weed, you need accessories like a grinder, rolling papers, storage containers, and so on. Organizing all these essential tools can get messy– which is why our budtenders love to recommend the Blazy Susan– a spinning rolling tray / organizer which you’ll be proud to display on your coffee (cannabis?) table!
Plus the Blazy Susan brand has a full line of adorable coordinating weed essentials like rolling papers, cones, dab jars, joint tips, cotton buds, and more! Smoking pot has never been so stylish.
A big thank you to our fantastic and friendly From The Earth budtenders for sharing their product expertise and suggestions!
