Budtenders’ Picks for June | VRC’s Highly Recommended Favorites

by | Jun 1, 2026

Some products just earn a permanent spot in the conversation around the shop. 

Maybe it’s the flower that smokes way smoother than expected. Maybe it’s the cart you grabbed “just to try” and immediately added back to your cart. Maybe it’s a summertime drink that somehow tastes way too easy going down. This Budtenders’ Picks for June is your peek behind the counter — the strains, carts, drinks, and hidden gems getting real love from the crew. 

If you’re hunting for your next favorite, consider this your shortcut.

Lil DaVinci’s 1st June Pick:
Smoken Promises’ Mystical Gelato

Smoken Promises Mystical Gelato packaging featuring vibrant, dessert-inspired design with a dreamy, mystical aesthetic as part of the Budtenders' Picks for June

Mystical Gelato takes the classic Gelato 41 flavor profile and doubles down with a Gelato 41 x Gelato 41 cross that delivers creamy gas, sweet earthy notes, and a super smooth smoke. This indica-dominant hybrid brings relaxing body effects with an uplifting, inspired vibe. Just one of the many quality strains Smoken Promises has to offer. Plus, don’t miss their Wednesday deals.

Sincerely,
DaVinci


Lil DaVinci’s 2nd June Pick:
Not Your Father’s Alpine Splash Soda 100MG + Caffeine

A perfect summertime sipper! 

100% live resin with 100mg THC + 100mg caffeine for an uplifting, energetic vibe without feeling too heavy. The flavor is crisp, refreshing, and easy to drink. Great daytime option for kicking back, staying social, or catching a good buzz in the sun. 🌞

David’s June Pick:
St. Ides Cherry Bomb 1000mg THC Syrup

St. Ides Cherry Bomb Syrup bottle with bold cherry-themed labeling and vibrant red packaging design as one of the budtenders' picks for June

St. Ides Cherry Bomb 1000mg THC Syrup has quickly become one of my favorite cannabis-infused drinks for the summer. The cherry flavor is sweet, smooth, and surprisingly easy to enjoy, especially when mixed into a cold glass of lemonade. The combination creates a refreshing, fruity drink that tastes more like a summer mocktail than an edible. The product is designed to mix easily into beverages, making it a versatile option for anyone who prefers sipping over traditional edibles.

Danny’s June Pick:
Connected’s Cherry Marker 1G Cold Chain

Budtender holding Connected’s Cherry Marker Cold Chain Live Resin Cartridge as one of the budtenders' pick for JUne.

The Cherry Marker Cold Chain cartridge is a sleeeeper. Heavy indica that had my eyes getting lower and lower. I love that all the cold chain carts are very on point to the strain, with no additives, and just taste dank all the way through. Would definitely pick it up again 💯


That’s what the crew’s been vibing with lately. Some heavy hitters, some sleeper picks, and a few products definitely worth talking about.
