MFNY Sour Diesel Infused Prerolls Review

By Jessica Reilly-Chevalier

If you spend any time in conversation with me, it will invariably come up that I am from Upstate New York.

I phrase it that way because I quickly learned, while traveling the country in a van, that if you tell someone you’re from New York, one thing happens: their faces light up as they hopefully ask: New York City?

I learned to hide the cringe and smile while clarifying; no, Upstate New York. Across the lake from Canada, actually. 3 hours door-to-door to Toronto, actually. Damn proud of it, actually.

I have nothing against the city. New York City is iconic, the quintessential 21st-century metropolis, and a welcome anchor holding the rest of the state firmly in a blue political zone. There’s nowhere else like it. The Mayor is great. But I grew up 6.5 hours from NYC, which doesn’t exactly foster feelings of familiarity or warmth. There’s a whole state up here, you know.

Still, now that I live in New Mexico, I count New York City as halfway home. New York, at least. Great Italian, pizza, breakfast sandwiches, and deli subs, at least. I may not be from the city, but you better believe I am a New Yorker, through and through.

About MFNY

MFNY (Marijuana Farms New York) is an NYC brand; weed for New Yorkers, by New Yorkers. They lean into the “New York-ness” of it all, and you know exactly the vibe I’m talking about. But with an anchoring farm in the Hudson Valley, they’re taking advantage of what all of New York has to offer. North of the city, the state has incredible land for growing cannabis and old manufacturing facilities begging to be reused. A short 60 miles up from the Big Apple, MFNY has taken root – literally.

Seed-to-shelf brands are not yet common in the New York market, and I like that all of MFNY’s products come from a single source: their own farm. No white labeling, no strain blends, none of that nonsense.

Right now, MFNY is focused on bringing back and keeping alive classic cannabis strains, including the iconic Sour Diesel. But with a growing infrastructure in the fertile Hudson Valley, I’ll be excited to see if they lean into specific strains that grow well in this specific microclimate.

MFNY Sour Diesel Infused Prerolls Review

I’m always looking to explore the NY cannabis market. I tried the MFNY Sour Diesel infused prerolls on a recent trip to NYC. This 4-pack comes with 0.75-gram pre-rolls, infused with Sour Diesel live resin.

Sour D is an iconic and often replicated cannabis strain that is meant to feel a specific way: energizing, cerebral, and slightly dreamy. This strain’s powerful uplifting effects are beloved by consumers who can handle the sativa/limonene punch.

So did these prerolls live up to this strain’s incredible reputation?

The Aroma and Flavor

Very pleasant, highly “weed”, but missing the iconic skunk punch of Sour D. I got notes of dankness, pine, and some light touches of sour citrus, with subtle undertones of floral.

I always like to dry-hit my prerolls; I find it very telling. Many prerolls smell great, but have almost no flavor on the dry hit, which tells me it’s going to be a one-note smoke. The dry hits on these MFNY prerolls were flavorful and consistent with the aroma.

It was less flavorful once I lit the joint. The notes I noticed in the aroma were muted, but not gone entirely. It certainly wasn’t dry or grassy, but the aroma was stronger than the actual flavor.

The Smoke

These prerolls are actually rolled. Hallelujah. Most prerolls are cones stuffed so tightly you can’t draw air through them, let alone get a good pull. I’ve taken to opening the tops and rolling them smooth with my fingers, just to get a halfway decent burn.

These MFNY prerolls burned smoothly and evenly every single time, and I loved them for the consistency. The infusion of the live resin slowed down the burn, but it was still an even cherry. The smoke was exactly what I wish every preroll could be.

The Experience

I’ll be frank: if I hadn’t been in NYC, I don’t know that I would have liked these so much. I’m not huge on infused joints. It’s just not my cup of tea; I don’t usually need or enjoy the additional potency.

These prerolls were also 0.75g; I’m big on 0.5g in prerolls or when I roll my own. These MFNY infused prerolls were larger than your average dispo offering and stronger, which isn’t what my everyday smoke calls for.

But I smoked these during a trip to NYC and in the absolute craziness of the city, they hit.

It was a pleasant high, heavily cerebral. I felt a little lighter in my body, which was welcomed after long days of travel to get to NYC and move around the city. Overall, it was a heady experience. I felt buzzy but functional, observational, but chill. Exactly what I would expect from a preroll that’s Sour D twice over.

My favorite smoke sesh with these was in the middle of Central Park, after climbing on top of a large boulder. When the joint was done, my husband and I walked a short distance over the Gapstow Bridge and sat on benches facing out over the pond, with a view of W 59th Street and the Plaza Hotel.

We people-watched for close to an hour, and it was the perfect use of this high. Watching teenage French tourists freak out over a grey squirrel, the Midwestern tourists lug their bags of birdseed to feed the geese, and taking in the never-ending fashion show that is New York City, I was endlessly fascinated and engaged, without needing to move, talk, or be productive in any way.

Final Thoughts

These prerolls are potent and larger than your average joint, so consumers beware. The infamously heady effects of Sour Diesel hit in these, and if you’re not careful, they could easily sweep you away into an unfocused dream state where the day simply slips away. I wouldn’t classify these as a wake-and-bake product, but know yourself. If you like sativa strains or products that pack a punch for your money, these MFNY Sour Diesel Infused Prerolls get the job done.
