The best way to pick cannabis is not by strain name or THC percentage — it is by the effect you want. Silk Road NYC's ten effect guides map the way you want to feel to the strains, terpenes, and product formats that deliver it. Every guide is written by our budtenders based on three years of Queens customer feedback, not marketing copy.

THC gets the headlines, but the terpene profile is what actually shapes how a strain feels. Myrcene and linalool push relaxed + sleepy; limonene and pinene lift mood and focus; caryophyllene targets pain and stress via the CB2 receptor. When we recommend a strain, we are reading the terps first — which is why two 28% THC strains can feel completely different.
