Elevate Cannabis | Grapefruit Durban Pre-roll pack
Elevate is quickly becoming a consistent go-to for affordable, high-quality cannabis in Arizona. Their dedication to exotic genetics and proper curing sets them apart in a crowded market. Each pre-roll pack contains ten ½ gram joints for a total of 5 grams. The Grapefruit Durban is a standout. This strain pairs the tart citrus of Grapefruit with the energizing clarity of classic Durban Poison. The result is a bright, uplifting smoke that sparks creativity and focus without overwhelming the body.

Select | Holiday Cookies Briq
Curaleaf’s Select Briq line continues to be one of the cleanest and most reliable all-in-one vaporizers on the medical and adult-use shelves, and the holiday drop really seals the deal. The Essentials series focuses on straightforward, strain-inspired flavors — nothing too loud, nothing artificial — just clean oil built for consistency. Holiday Cookies comes in at a strong 93% THC and carries that warm, sweet bakery profile the name suggests. It’s not sugary or gimmicky; instead, it leans into those classic cookie-dough notes with a hybrid balance that settles smoothly in the body without shutting your brain down. A couple steady pulls give you a bright lift upfront followed by that slow, calming melt that makes cookie strains so popular. What I always appreciate about the Briq is its simplicity. You pull, it fires, and it works every time. Perfect for nighttime unwinding, holiday gatherings, or those quiet December moments when you just want something smooth and reliable in your pocket. Simple, strong, and seasonally on point. Curaleaf did these right.

That trio gives the smoke a warm, slightly spicy backbone with a mellow floral finish and just enough relaxing weight to smooth the edges. Classic is the right name for these.
