  • Sub Zero Strain Review + San Francisco Legalizes Cannabis Cafés

    This week we tried Sub Zero — Leafly's breakout hybrid of 2026 — and lived to tell the tale (barely). Then we break down San Francisco's brand-new cannabis café ordinance, signed into law July 23rd.

    • Sub Zero strain is a hybrid bred by Grow More Fire Genetics, crossing Super Boof with Oreoz — and yes, those are both real names
    • Leafly included Sub Zero in its Hot Weed Strains of 2026 roundup, describing it as delivering a warm, relaxing high ideal for cozy indoor use
    • Flavor profile per Leafly: heavy diesel funk with minty undertones and a slice of sharp citrus
    • Pro tip from this episode: pre-plate your snacks before you sit down with this one
    • SF Mayor Daniel Lurie signed the cannabis café ordinance on July 23, 2026, after the Board of Supervisors approved it 7–4
    • The ordinance takes effect August 23, 2026 — cafés can offer on-site cannabis consumption alongside non-cannabis food, non-alcoholic drinks, and live entertainment
    • No alcohol, no tobacco, and nothing leaves the building — San Francisco becomes the first Bay Area city to greenlight this Amsterdam-style model under California AB 1775
    • Actual café openings depend on permits and inspections through the SF Office of Cannabis, so grand opening day is a vibe, not a date

        Daisy: —and that is HOW I ended up eating cold spaghetti out of a colander at three in the morning, Astoria. Standing up. Over the sink. Like a raccoon with a lease.

        Astoria: I have SO many questions and I don't want the answer to any of them.
        Daisy: Ask. Ask me anything.
        Astoria: Why a colander.
        Daisy: Because every other dish was dirty and I had, in that moment, the executive function of a damp sponge.
        Astoria: Okay so this is a Sub Zero story, isn't it.
        Daisy: This is ENTIRELY a Sub Zero story.
        Astoria: I knew it. The second you walked in with that little smug face I was like, she smoked the weird strain again.
        Daisy: It's not weird! Leafly literally put it in their hot strains of 2026 roundup. It's, like, an official hot strain.
        Astoria: Official hot strain. Cool. Cool cool cool. That still doesn't explain the colander.
        Daisy: Okay so, context. Sub Zero. Hybrid. It's Super Boof crossed with Oreoz—
        Astoria: I'm sorry, Super WHAT.
        Daisy: Super Boof.
        Astoria: Daisy.
        Daisy: I did not name it!
        Astoria: Super Boof. Crossed with a cookie.
        Daisy: Crossed with Oreoz, which yes, is a cookie. So the parents of this strain are "Super Boof" and "Cookie."
        Astoria: This reads like a Cheesecake Factory menu.
        Daisy: That is EXACTLY what I said. That is verbatim what I said in my head when I bought it. I was like, is this weed or is this a dessert with fourteen adjectives.
        Astoria: "Our new Super Boof Oreoz Sub Zero Sundae, drizzled with—"
        Daisy: Stop. Stop, I'll die.
        Astoria: Okay so what does it actually, like... do. Besides colander crimes.
        Daisy: Leafly's words, not mine — warm, relaxing high. They say it's ideal for cozy indoor use in cold weather.
        Astoria: In cold weather.
        Daisy: In cold weather.
        Astoria: The strain called SUB ZERO.
        Daisy: The strain called Sub Zero.
        Astoria: For staying warm.
        Daisy: For staying warm indoors.
        Astoria: The branding department took the day off.
        Daisy: The branding department took a personal week. The branding department is at a silent retreat in Ojai.
        Astoria: "We're calling it Sub Zero." "Great, what's it for?" "Getting toasty by the fire." "...perfect, ship it."
        Daisy: Ship it! Ship it immediately!
        Astoria: Okay but the flavor. What does it taste like. Give me the tasting notes.
        Daisy: Okay so Leafly says heavy diesel funk with minty undertones... and a slice of sharp citrus.
        Astoria: A SLICE of sharp citrus.
        Daisy: A slice.
        Astoria: So a gas station, a tin of Altoids, and half a lemon.
        Daisy: You just described my ex.
        Astoria: Oh my god.
        Daisy: I'm serious. Diesel funk, minty undertones, sharp citrus. That's Kyle. That's a Kyle.
        Astoria: That IS a Kyle. Every Kyle.
        Daisy: Every Kyle since the beginning of time.
        Astoria: Okay so the colander. Bring me back to the colander.
        Daisy: Right, right. So I had exactly two puffs. TWO. Because I am, allegedly, a professional.
        Astoria: Allegedly.
        Daisy: Allegedly a professional. And I sat down on my couch to watch, I want to say, a documentary. About bees? Something wholesome.
        Astoria: Sure.
        Daisy: And the next thing I remember with any clarity is the METAL of the colander against my bottom lip.
        Astoria: There's just a gap.
        Daisy: There's a full gap. There's like a ninety-minute window where I have no idea what my body was doing.
        Astoria: Your body was boiling pasta, Daisy. That's what your body was doing.
        Daisy: My body was apparently boiling pasta, straining pasta, deciding a bowl was a bridge too far, and just... going for it.
        Astoria: Warm and relaxing.
        Daisy: Warm and relaxing! Leafly was RIGHT.
        Astoria: Leafly delivered.
        Daisy: Leafly delivered on the promise. I was warm. I was relaxed. I was standing in my kitchen eating starch with my hands.
        Astoria: Okay so is that a recommend or an anti-recommend.
        Daisy: Oh no, that's a full recommend.
        Astoria: Of course it is.
        Daisy: If you can find it, if your dispensary has it or something in that Super Boof family — try it. On a night you have nowhere to be. And maybe... pre-plate your snacks.
        Astoria: Pre-plate your snacks. That's actually the takeaway. Write that down.
        Daisy: Pre-plate. Your. Snacks.
        Astoria: Okay, speaking of eating in weird places—
        Daisy: Segue!
        Astoria: Did you see San Francisco actually did the thing?
        Daisy: The café thing?!
        Astoria: The café thing.
        Daisy: Astoria. I have been WAITING for you to bring this up.
        Astoria: Mayor signed it on the twenty-third. Like, three days ago.
        Daisy: Daniel ...

      • Gary Payton Strain, Senate Legalization Bill & Pentagon's Cannabis Warning

        This week: the Gary Payton strain gets the Camry-of-weed treatment, and 2026 cannabis policy goes full split-screen — Senate legalization bill on Wednesday, Pentagon "stand down" memo on Thursday.

        In this episode:

        • Gary Payton strain deep dive — hybrid cross of Snowman × The Y from Cookies × Powerzzzup Genetics, ~22% THC, essentially no CBD.
        • Why Leafly named Gary Payton a breakout strain to watch in 2026 — caryophyllene-forward, "anxiety-slaying" chill profile.
        • Reported effects (giggly, relaxed, euphoric) and the apricot-pepper-lavender flavor profile that sounds like a farmers-market jam.
        • July 17, 2026: Schumer, Booker, and Wyden re-file a Senate bill to federally legalize and tax cannabis with restorative-justice programs.
        • July 16, 2026: Department of War memo reminds service members marijuana use and possession remain punishable, even as rescheduling advances.
        • Michigan Supreme Court bars trial judges from making "no marijuana" a blanket probation condition in a legal-weed state.
        • Georgia expands its medical program — new qualifying conditions, vaping of flower allowed, adjusted THC potency limits.
        • Idaho legalization initiative fails to qualify for the ballot; California pulls contaminated cannabis products in a pesticide recall.

            Daisy: —no but that's the thing, I walked into the dispensary already high, which is like showing up to the DMV drunk, it's just RUDE.

            Astoria: Daisy. You did not.
            Daisy: I did! And the budtender goes, "what are you looking for today," and I said, and I quote, "something that talks trash to my anxiety."
            Astoria: Okay that's actually a solid brief.
            Daisy: Right? And he goes, "Gary Payton." And I was like, sir, I know who Gary Payton is, I need a STRAIN.
            Astoria: Oh no.
            Daisy: And he just stared at me. Like, dead-eyed. And slowly turned the jar around.
            Astoria: So the strain is named after—
            Daisy: The Glove. Yeah. Hall of Fame point guard, trash-talked everybody into the ground, don't fact-check me on the specifics.
            Astoria: Great, love that for our research standards.
            Daisy: Astoria, it's a podcast, not a deposition.
            Astoria: Okay so tell me about the actual weed.
            Daisy: So it's a hybrid. Cross of Snowman and The Y, bred by Cookies with Powerzzzup Genetics, which sounds like a My Little Pony villain.
            Astoria: Powerzzzup.
            Daisy: Powerzzzup! Like she has a lightning bolt on her flank and a Soundcloud.
            Astoria: Stop.
            Daisy: Around twenty-two percent THC, basically no CBD, and Leafly is calling it one of the breakout strains to watch this year.
            Astoria: Wait, this year meaning 2026?
            Daisy: Twenty twenty-six, yeah. They did a whole "hot strains" piece and Gary Payton is on it. Caryophyllene-forward, which they described as, and this is where I got sold, "anxiety-slaying."
            Astoria: Anxiety-slaying.
            Daisy: Anxiety-SLAYING. Astoria. My anxiety needs to be slain. It needs a Viking funeral.
            Astoria: Okay okay.
            Daisy: Effects people report are giggly, relaxed, euphoric. Leafly literally calls it "middle-of-the-road."
            Astoria: Middle-of-the-road weed.
            Daisy: It's the Toyota Camry of weed.
            Astoria: That is not a compliment—
            Daisy: It IS a compliment! Everyone owns a Camry. Camrys never die. You want a Camry when you're anxious.
            Astoria: I hate that I follow.
            Daisy: You want the Camry, you don't want the... whatever the opposite of a Camry is.
            Astoria: A Dodge Viper.
            Daisy: You don't want a Dodge Viper edible before a work call, Astoria.
            Astoria: Fair.
            Daisy: The flavor though. Okay. Apricot, pepper, and lavender.
            Astoria: Wait wait wait. Apricot, pepper, AND lavender?
            Daisy: Yes.
            Astoria: That is not a weed. That is a twenty-two dollar farmers-market jam.
            Daisy: THAT'S WHAT I SAID.
            Astoria: That's an artisan preserve from a woman named Meadow.
            Daisy: From a woman named Meadow at a booth with a burlap sign.
            Astoria: Handwritten. "Small batch."
            Daisy: "Made with intention."
            Astoria: "Pairs beautifully with goat cheese."
            Daisy: Some people also pick up sweet fruit loops and citrus, which... those are different jams, but okay.
            Astoria: Fruit Loops is not a flavor note, that's a childhood.
            Daisy: It's a memory.
            Astoria: Okay so did it work. Did the Glove slay your anxiety.
            Daisy: So. Here's what happened.
            Astoria: Uh oh.
            Daisy: I get home. I take, like, two small hits. Because I respect the Glove.
            Astoria: As one should.
            Daisy: And for about forty minutes I am the calmest woman alive. I'm folding a fitted sheet, Astoria.
            Astoria: The fitted sheet.
            Daisy: I FOLDED it. Into a rectangle. Like a person.
            Astoria: That's a spiritual event.
            Daisy: And THEN I get a text from my mom that just says, quote, "call me when you can."
            Astoria: Oh no. No punctuation, no context—
            Daisy: No context! No emoji! Just... "call me when you can."
            Astoria: The four horsemen.
            Daisy: And giggly-relaxed-euphoric Daisy INSTANTLY becomes convinced my entire family is dead.
            Astoria: Daisy.
            Daisy: I'm spiraling. I'm googling "how to plan a funeral." I'm looking at flights.
            Astoria: You did not book flights.
            Daisy: I did not book flights, but I priced them. There's a difference.
            Astoria: A crucial one.
            Daisy: So I call her back, cotton mouth, full panic, and she goes, "hi honey, do you know where I put the good scissors."
            Astoria: The GOOD SCISSORS.
            Daisy: The good scissors! That was the emergency!
            Astoria: Oh my god.

          • Gary Payton Strain, Trucker Pushback & DOJ Slams "Pocketbook" Foes

            Daisy and Astoria spotlight the Gary Payton hybrid — a Cookies x Powerzzzup Genetics cross of Snowman and The Y — then race through two weeks of cannabis-culture news, from trucker safety letters to the DOJ calling out "pocketbook interests" in the rescheduling fight.

            In this episode:

            • Gary Payton strain deep dive: ~22% THC, ~1% CBD, top user-reported effects giggly, relaxed, euphoric (per Leafly).
            • Why Leafly named Gary Payton a hot strain for 2026 — caryophyllene-forward, quietly percolating since 2019 with early-2020s Cannabis Cup wins.
            • American Trucking Associations and transportation/safety groups send a letter to federal officials citing "serious safety concerns" about rescheduling.
            • DOJ files a brief slamming a drug-testing group and pharma company for "pocketbook interests served by keeping all marijuana in schedule I."
            • Georgia's medical program expands: new qualifying conditions, flower vaping allowed, and adjusted THC potency limits.
            • Delaware lawmakers override Gov. Matt Meyer's veto of a bill blocking restrictive county zoning of marijuana businesses.
            • Wyoming AG Keith Kautz blocks state-level rescheduling that would otherwise auto-trigger from the federal reclassification.
            • NIST publishes a report to help states set requirements for scales used to sell cannabis — plus a poll showing most consumers don't expect full rescheduling this year.

                Daisy: —and I'm just saying, if you name a strain after Gary Payton, THE GLOVE, the guy who talked so much smack he made Michael Jordan look zen... you'd expect it to make you, like, aggressive.

                Astoria: You'd expect to hit it once and start trash-talking your own furniture.
                Daisy: Right?? Like I'd take one puff and go, "your legs are CROOKED, coffee table. Everybody knows it."
                Astoria: But it doesn't do that.
                Daisy: Astoria. It does NOT do that. I looked it up on Leafly, okay, and the top user-reported effect is... giggly.
                Astoria: Giggly.
                Daisy: GIGGLY. Then relaxed. Then euphoric. The Glove strain makes you giggle.
                Astoria: So the universe does have a sense of humor.
                Daisy: The universe is a comedy writer and she is UNDERPAID.
                Astoria: Okay wait, hold on— is it actually good though, or is this just a bit?
                Daisy: It's actually good! It's a hybrid, it's Snowman crossed with something called The Y—
                Astoria: The Y.
                Daisy: The Y! I don't know what The Y is, I'm not gonna pretend—
                Astoria: Wow, humility, on this show.
                Daisy: Log it. Date it. Frame it. But it's a Cookies collab with Powerzzzup Genetics, which sounds like a dude who sells pre-workout out of a Sprinter van—
                Daisy: —and Leafly literally put it on their hot strains list for 2026. Like officially. It's been quietly cooking since 2019, won some Cannabis Cups in the early twenties, and now it's having a moment.
                Astoria: A late bloomer strain.
                Daisy: A late bloomer. Which is very Gary Payton, actually, because that man played until he was like forty—
                Astoria: Sure.
                Daisy: —and I respect the metaphor even though I did not intend it.
                Astoria: Okay, potency. Because I feel like every time you recommend something you leave out the part where it flattens me.
                Daisy: That was ONE time.
                Astoria: That was every time.
                Daisy: Okay it's around twenty-two percent THC, about one percent CBD, per Leafly's profile—
                Astoria: Twenty-two.
                Daisy: Twenty-two. Which, listen. This isn't your grandma's ditch weed.
                Astoria: My grandma's ditch weed was probably three percent and a prayer.
                Daisy: Three percent and a prayer! That's the name of her memoir.
                Astoria: She'd smoke a whole joint and go, "I feel a LITTLE warm."
                Daisy: "A little warm and I can hear the fridge."
                Astoria: Okay so twenty-two, giggly, hybrid. What does it actually smell like, because you did the thing.
                Daisy: I did the thing.
                Astoria: She did the thing.
                Daisy: Okay so it's caryophyllene-forward—
                Astoria: In English.
                Daisy: In ENGLISH, caryophyllene is the terpene you also find in black pepper and cloves.
                Astoria: So it smells like grandma's spice rack.
                Daisy: It smells like grandma's spice rack but make it federal.
                Astoria: Make it federal.
                Daisy: Which brings me, weirdly, to a story—
                Astoria: Oh no.
                Daisy: —about the time I tried to cook with it. Not IT it, just, you know. A little.
                Astoria: Daisy.
                Daisy: I was gonna do a pepper crust on a steak.
                Astoria: Uh huh.
                Daisy: And I thought, you know what would rhyme with this vibe? Because of the caryophyllene? A tiny little infusion in the butter.
                Astoria: A tiny little infusion.
                Daisy: A TINY.
                Astoria: How tiny.
                Daisy: Not tiny.
                Daisy: I did not do the math. I never do the math. Math is for people who plan dinners, and I am a person who ATTENDS dinners.
                Astoria: This is the most self-aware you've ever been.
                Daisy: Thank you. So I put this steak in front of my roommate, right, and she takes one bite, and she goes, "this is really good, this pepper is really warm—"
                Astoria: Oh no.
                Daisy: And I go, "yeah, it's the caryophyllene."
                Astoria: You did NOT say caryophyllene at your own dinner table.
                Daisy: I said caryophyllene at my own dinner table like a Bond villain—
                Daisy: —and she just very slowly put her fork down.
                Astoria: She knew.
                Daisy: She KNEW. And then twenty minutes later she was on the couch describing the ceiling fan as, quote, "a really honest guy."
                Astoria: A really honest guy.
                Daisy: A really honest guy!
                Astoria: Okay. Okay. But here's where I push back.

              • Gary Payton Strain, DEA Rescheduling Hearing & Glass House on NYSE

                This week: a strain named after the loudest man in NBA history that reviewers say shuts you up, plus the DEA rescheduling hearing finally opens and weed hits the NYSE.

                In this episode:

                • Gary Payton strain deep-dive: hybrid cross of The Y × Snowman, bred by Powerzzzup Genetics with Cookies, higher-than-average THC per Leafly.
                • Reported effects — giggly, talkative, relaxed, clear-headed brain buzz then a mellow body settle; flavor notes of sweet, fuel, and stone fruit.
                • Why Leafly's 2026 hot strains preview flagged Gary Payton as caryophyllene-forward and "anxiety-slaying."
                • The DEA's rescheduling hearing officially opened June 29, 2026, on moving cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III.
                • NORML and NCIA are cranky about the witness list tilting toward opponents of rescheduling.

                    Daisy: —no but that's the thing, that's the WHOLE thing, it's named after Gary Payton.

                    Astoria: The basketball guy.
                    Daisy: The basketball guy! The Glove. The trash-talk guy. The guy whose entire brand was making other grown men cry at half court.
                    Astoria: Okay.
                    Daisy: And the strain... makes you shut up.
                    Astoria: Wait what.
                    Daisy: I'm serious. It's like they named a muzzle after a megaphone.
                    Astoria: Daisy. That can't be right.
                    Daisy: Astoria, I have receipts. Well. I have a Leafly page and a personal incident. Which is basically peer review.
                    Astoria: That is NOT peer review.
                    Daisy: It's a hybrid. It's a cross of The Y and Snowman, bred by like, Powerzzzup Genetics with Cookies, and Leafly says the THC runs higher than average.
                    Astoria: Higher than average how? Like...
                    Daisy: Like, higher. Than. Average. That is the technical term Leafly used and I am not going to pretend I know the number.
                    Astoria: Fair.
                    Daisy: I don't! I truly don't. I looked at the page and my eyes did the... the thing where they scroll but don't read.
                    Astoria: The scroll-glaze.
                    Daisy: The scroll-glaze, yes. Anyway. Reviewers say giggly, talkative, relaxed. Clear-headed brain buzz up front, then a mellow body thing settles in.
                    Astoria: Okay so it's not a couch strain.
                    Daisy: It's... it's a couch strain that lets you keep the conversation going. Which is a lie my body did not respect.
                    Astoria: Here we go.
                    Daisy: So Sunday. Right? Sunday. I'm at Marco's, we're gonna watch a movie, I bring like a little bit of Gary Payton because I'd read this Leafly 2026 hot strains preview thing—
                    Astoria: Oh you did HOMEWORK.
                    Daisy: I did homework! For weed!
                    Astoria: You've never done homework for anything.
                    Daisy: I did homework for weed and taxes, and one of those I did badly.
                    Astoria: Which one.
                    Daisy: Not telling.
                    Astoria: Okay. Movie night. Go.
                    Daisy: Movie night. I take one hit. ONE. Because Leafly said caryophyllene-forward, anxiety-slaying, chill-inducing, and I was like great, I'm gonna be a chill little conversationalist.
                    Astoria: Sure.
                    Daisy: Ten minutes in I am explaining, at length, to Marco's roommate, the plot of a movie we are currently watching.
                    Astoria: No.
                    Daisy: While it is happening. On the screen. In front of us.
                    Astoria: Daisy.
                    Daisy: I was like, "okay so THIS guy? He's the brother." And Marco's roommate goes, "yeah, they just said that."
                    Astoria: Oh my god.
                    Daisy: And then I got quiet. For like forty minutes.
                    Astoria: The Glove locked you up.
                    Daisy: The Glove LOCKED ME UP. Astoria, I got cross-checked by a hybrid.
                    Astoria: That's a great sentence.
                    Daisy: It's the flavor too, it's like... sweet, fuel, stone fruit, which sounds fake—
                    Astoria: Stone fruit? Like a plum?
                    Daisy: Like a plum-adjacent situation. Yeah.
                    Astoria: Weed people have really committed to the fruit vocabulary lately.
                    Daisy: They HAVE. When did we become sommeliers.
                    Astoria: I don't know. But I don't hate it.
                    Daisy: You don't hate it because you're the one who was sniffing a jar last week going, "I'm getting NOTES."
                    Astoria: I was getting notes.
                    Daisy: You were getting the note of "weed."
                    Astoria: Okay, hey—
                    Daisy: The note of "green."
                    Astoria: Rude.
                    Daisy: Sorry, sorry.
                    Astoria: Okay so is this the rec? Are we recommending Gary Payton?
                    Daisy: This is the rec. If you can find it. Real strain, real name, real "shut up on the couch" energy. Great for like, one friend, one couch, a show you've seen before so you don't ruin it.
                    Astoria: Not for a party.
                    Daisy: NOT for a party. Do not bring The Glove to a party. Gary Payton at a party is you sitting on a beanbag telling someone very slowly about a podcast.
                    Astoria: So... this podcast.
                    Daisy: Wow. Rude AND accurate.
                    Astoria: Okay pivot. Because there's actual news.
                    Daisy: There IS actual news, oh my god. Astoria, do the news voice.
                    Astoria: I'm not doing the news voice.
                    Daisy: Do the news voice.
                    Astoria: The DEA started its rescheduling hearing.
                    Daisy: YES.
                    Astoria: June 29. The whole thing about moving cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III finally got in front of the actual hearing.
                    Daisy: Which we've been promised for like, a geological era.
                    Astoria: A long time, yes.
                    Da...
