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 Leafly: Hot Weed Strains of 2026 KQED: San Francisco Approves Cannabis Cafés CBS News SF: Cannabis Café Ordinance Approved Marijuana Moment: Cannabis Rescheduling Newsletter Subscribe: mncannabishub.com Full transcript Daisy: —and that is HOW I ended up eating cold spaghetti out of a colander at three in the morning, Astoria.
