The Toke Folks Dispatch

Coats are out, the bodega cat has claimed the radiator, and sunset hits before 5. So this week we're bringing some sun back: a tropical pre-roll pack for the grey afternoons. Plus a stacked week of UWS pop-ups, a founder tour headed to Queens, and the latest on rescheduling and the hemp rules.

The Drop Durban Tropic: a heat wave for November |
 |
Lineage: Durban Poison × Tropicana Cherry
Notes: bright tropical fruit, cherry, citrus
Format: Pre-Roll Pack, 5 × 0.5 g · Sativa
THC: 20.5% |
Not every strain needs a subway stop in its name. This one is pure New York anyway: two families from opposite ends of the map meeting in one jar. Durban Poison is the old-school South African sativa heads have chased for decades. Tropicana Cherry brings the fruit stand. We grow it indoors in small batches, then roll it into five half-grams sized for a walk across the park, a stoop session before the light goes, or passing around at the function.
Why it slaps: 20.5% keeps it social, the half-gram format means no half-smoked joint in your pocket, and the nose is all fruit when everything outside smells like wet leaves and chestnut carts. Every lot is lab-tested, so you can match your pack to its COA.

Rescheduling hits the home stretch
Both sides filed their final briefs in the DEA rescheduling hearing, and the record is closed. Next, the agency judge sends a recommendation up the chain. Nothing changes at your counter yet, but this is the furthest the process has ever gotten.

The hemp crackdown got split in two
Starting Nov 12, lab-made cannabinoids the plant can't produce on its own lose federal hemp status. The bigger total-THC caps got pushed back to Dec 11. Translation: the gas-station grey zone keeps shrinking, and licensed, lab-tested NY weed is the move.
