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 FLAMERS ethos — not to mention the brand’s unforgettable, flaming red joints. And if FLAMER’S looks familiar, that’s because it’s been a key part of several 420 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’S pre-rolls available at The Travel Agency

The cannabis used in FLAMER’S bright red pre-rolls is sun-grown at Janes 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 lead in cultivating the three strains used in FLAMER pre-rolls, channeling their hands-on farming knowledge into growing quality cannabis.

Lobotomy pre-rolls

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

Indulge in a single Lobotomy pre-roll or grab a five-pack. Either way, you’re in for a tranquil escape from the chaos of the big city.
